Core operating
income |
| |
$6.5B
|
| |
Core operating income was a record for the Company in 2022, and exceeded plan and substantially exceeded prior year. Core operating income growth was at the 82nd percentile of the Financial Performance Peer Group.
|
|
|
Core operating return on equity (ROE)
|
| | 11.2% | | |
Core operating ROE performance exceeded prior year and was slightly above plan. Performance was at the 59th percentile of the Financial Performance Peer Group.
|
|
|
Core operating return on tangible equity (ROTE)
|
| | 17.2% | | |
Core operating ROTE performance exceeded both prior year and plan. Performance was at the 73rd percentile of the Financial Performance Peer Group.
|
|
|
P&C combined ratio
|
| |
87.6%
|
| |
P&C combined ratio relative performance was better than that of every company in our Financial Performance Peer Group (100th percentile). Absolute performance improved from prior year but was slightly below plan. Current accident year P&C combined ratio excluding catastrophe losses was a record 84.2%.
|
|
|
Tangible book value per share growth
|
| |
-23.5%
|
| |
Tangible book value per share relative performance was better than that of every company in our Financial Performance Peer Group (100th percentile). Absolute performance was below both prior year and plan, primarily due to the mark to market impact of rising interest rates on our investment portfolio and foreign exchange. Excluding AOCI, which eliminates the effect of these items, tangible book value per share increased 3.0% from prior year.
|
|
| | | | | | | | |
|
Total shareholder return
|
| |
16.0% 1-year
14.6% 3-year
|
| |
Our strong 1-year and 3-year annualized TSR were at the 59th and 100th percentiles, respectively, of our Financial Performance Peer Group. Our cumulative 3-year TSR was 50.4%.

Chubb Limited
2023 Proxy Statement
|
|
|
In determining the compensation direction of the Company and in setting the 2022 compensation for the CEO and other NEOs, the Compensation Committee considered the Company’s performance on key financial metrics on an absolute basis and relative to its Financial Performance Peer Group, progress and execution on operational and strategic objectives, and shareholder value creation.
When deciding 2022 variable pay for the CEO and other NEOs, including both cash bonuses and long-term incentive equity awards, the Compensation Committee recognized their outstanding leadership, sound judgment and steadfast focus, which drove record operating earnings on both a per share and dollar basis, record underwriting and investment income, outstanding premium revenue growth and underwriting margin improvement.
The Compensation Committee determined to increase the CEO’s variable compensation, reflecting the Company’s excellent 2022 financial performance, execution and progress on short-, medium- and long-term operational and strategic objectives, and value created for shareholders. The CEO’s annual cash bonus was increased 2.7% from $7.5 million to $7.7 million. The long-term incentive equity award was increased 1% from $15.5 million to $15.65 million, and in making such decision the Committee determined to eliminate stock options from the CEO’s annual equity grant, resulting in an equity award comprising 100% performance shares that require the achievement of certain Company performance-based criteria over a three-year period to vest. Relatedly, the Committee determined to adjust the maximum payout opportunity on performance shares when achievement of all performance share vesting criteria is satisfied from 165% to 200% of target. The Committee believes that requiring the entirety of the CEO’s (and other NEOs’) equity awards to vest, if at all, depending on Company performance, and eliminating solely time-based equity vesting, more closely aligns the pay of our CEO and other NEOs with long-term Company financial performance and the creation of shareholder value. The Committee further determined to increase the CEO’s base salary from $1.4 million to $1.6 million, taking into account that the CEO’s base salary had not been increased since 2015.
The Compensation Committee believes that 2022 compensation decisions for the CEO and other NEOs are reflective of the Company’s overall operating, strategic, financial and stock price performance, and thus are aligned with shareholders. Further details on the compensation decisions for the CEO and other NEOs are described in “2022 NEO Total Direct Compensation and Performance Summary” beginning on page
109
.
The Compensation Committee’s and Board’s compensation decisions for 2022 reflect the Company’s philosophy to closely link pay to performance, ensuring that its leadership team remains highly motivated, and strongly aligning remuneration outcomes with the creation of shareholder value. The decisions also demonstrate the use of short- and long-term variable pay components to adjust compensation to reflect current year results and longer-term impacts. The success of this philosophy is demonstrated in this year’s excellent financial performance, both on an absolute basis and relative to Chubb’s Financial Performance Peer Group, as well as in long-term stock price performance.

The key objectives of our executive compensation program are to:
|
| |
•
Emphasize long-term performance and value creation that, while not immune to short-term financial results, encourages sensible risk-taking in pursuit of superior long-term operating performance.
•
Assure that executives do not take imprudent risks to achieve compensation goals.
•
Provide, to the extent practicable, that executives are not rewarded with short-term compensation for risk-taking actions that may not manifest in outcomes until after the compensation is paid.

Under the Corporate Law Reform, only undertakings with an economic purpose (as determined under Swiss law) are within the scope of the restriction of additional mandates. Therefore, the restriction on serving on a specific number of non-profit organizations is eliminated. Mandate maximums for public and private companies, as well as any other organization that has an economic purpose, remain unchanged.

Compensation
(Article 25)
Agreements with Executive Management and the Board of Directors
(Article 27)
|
| |
Amendments related to revised compensation requirements under the Corporate Law Reform that:
•
eliminate the Board’s ability to pay compensation above the maximum amount approved by shareholders to a current member of Chubb’s Executive Management promoted to CEO; the Board retains such ability only with respect to new members joining Chubb’s Executive Management;
•
require the Board to submit the Swiss compensation report to shareholders for a non-binding advisory vote (see Agenda Item 11.3);
•
clarify for the avoidance of doubt that the members of the Board shall only receive compensation for services performed during their term; and
•
provide that compensated non-competition agreements with Executive Management shall not exceed the average annual compensation for the executive for the past three years.
|
|
|
Communications and Announcements
(Article 31)
|
| |
Amendment clarifies that communications to shareholders may be sent in hard copy, electronic or any other form the Board deems appropriate, consistent with Swiss law.
|
|
|
Further minor amendments
(Articles 3, 7, 11 and 12; editorial changes in other articles)
|
| |
These include:
•
removal of a provision allowing registered shares to be converted into bearer shares and bearer shares into registered shares (Article 3(b)) because this provision is no longer needed given that the Corporate Law Reform no longer requires an express provision in the Articles of Association for bearer share conversions;
•
clarifies the Company’s authority to determine whether to deliver physical share certificates (Article 7(a));
•
deletion of the paragraph relating to the notice of the meeting in Article 12(d) since it would now be covered in revised Article 11; and
•
ministerial re-numbering, adjustment of cross-references and editorial changes.

Chubb Limited
2023 Proxy Statement
|
|
| For which period does the Board compensation approval apply? | | |
The approval applies to compensation for the period from the 2023 annual general meeting until the end of the 2024 annual general meeting.
|
|
|
What does the maximum aggregate compensation amount include?
|
| |
The maximum includes a lump sum amount for all potential compensation elements for the period, including:
•
Annual retainers
•
Committee chair fees
•
Equity awards
•
Meeting fees
|
|
|
Where can I find more information about director compensation?
|
| |
A description of director compensation and the amounts of compensation paid to directors in 2022 can be found in the “Director Compensation” section of this proxy statement. Under Swiss law, we also publish an audited annual compensation report, the Swiss Compensation Report, which is included within our Annual Report. These documents are available to shareholders in their proxy materials.
|
|
| Who determines the actual compensation for each individual Board member? | | |
The Board, upon recommendation of the Nominating & Governance Committee, determines the actual individual compensation of each member of the Board, subject to the maximum aggregate compensation amount ratified by the shareholders.

|
| For which period does Executive Management compensation approval apply? | | |
The approval applies to compensation for the next calendar year (2024), including variable compensation that may be paid or granted in 2025 based upon satisfaction of 2024 performance objectives.
|
| |||
|
What does the maximum aggregate compensation amount include?
|
| |
It includes a lump sum amount for all potential compensation elements for the period, including:
|
| |||
|
•
Fixed Compensation:
–
Base salary
|
| |
•
Variable Compensation, including:
–
Cash bonus
–
Long-term equity incentive awards
–
Retirement contributions
–
Additional personal benefits including limited perquisites
|
| |||
|
How is future compensation for 2024 valued for purposes of this requested approval?
|
| |
The proposed maximum aggregate compensation amount for Executive Management will establish a cap on Executive Management compensation for 2024. To calculate depletion of amounts against the cap, cash payments will be valued at the amount actually paid; the proposed amount does not factor in a discount to present value. In accordance with Article 24(e) of our Articles of Association, equity awards will be valued at the fair value on the date of grant, which may be less than the full market value of the shares subject to particular awards. Fair value for awards will be assessed as follows:
•
performance share awards: 100% of the market value of the target share component of the award as of the date of grant
•
stock options: the applicable Black-Scholes value at the date of grant
•
time-based restricted stock grants: 100% of the market value of the subject shares as of the date of grant
Beginning with the February 2023 equity grants for 2022 performance, performance shares will comprise 100% of each member of Executive Management’s annual long-term incentive equity award.
In all cases, amounts actually realized by Executive Management for their equity awards could be less or more than the fair value at time of grant because the stock price for Chubb shares may increase or decrease between the date of grant and the date the awards actually vest, if they vest, or are exercised.
In addition to this potential for share price fluctuation, the fair value of stock options is less than 100% of the value of the shares subject to the options because the options have an exercise price equal to the market value on the date of grant. The fair value of performance shares is less than 100% of the value of the shares subject to the awards on the date of grant because the relevant performance hurdles, for both target awards and premium awards, may not be met. This means that members of Executive Management may realize less than the value of the target awards or no value at all should awards fail to meet performance hurdles. Amounts realized will only exceed the fair value on the date of grant if premium award shares subject to the awards actually vest (in the case of performance share awards) or if the share price on the date of exercise (net of exercise price, in the case of stock options) exceeds the share price at the time of grant.

Chubb Limited
2023 Proxy Statement
|
|
| | | |
In the Summary Compensation Table of this proxy statement and in our Swiss Compensation Report contained in the Annual Report, stock options are valued at a Black-Scholes value, and performance shares are reflected at 100% of the value of the target award. The Summary Compensation Table also includes in a footnote information about the grant date full (potential) value of performance share awards granted in 2022 to our NEOs.
|
| |||
|
Who determines the actual compensation for each individual member of Executive Management?
|
| |
The Board or the Compensation Committee determines the actual individual compensation of each member of Executive Management, subject to the maximum aggregate compensation amounts ratified by the shareholders and other limitations contained in the Articles of Association and the Company’s bonus and equity incentive plans.
|
|
|
Chubb Limited
2023 Proxy Statement
|
| |
45
|
|
|
Why is this new agenda item included in these proxy materials?
|
| |
Recent updates to Swiss corporate law, further described in Agenda Item 9.1, provide that Swiss public companies, such as Chubb, that conduct a binding prospective vote on the maximum compensation of the Board of Directors and Executive Management must additionally provide shareholders with a non-binding advisory retrospective vote on the compensation paid to the Board of Directors and Swiss executives as set forth in the Swiss Compensation Report.
The purpose of this advisory vote is to give shareholders an opportunity to provide input on the use of the Swiss maximum compensation amounts for the Board and Executive Management previously approved by shareholders. While shareholders prospectively approve aggregate compensation for a subsequent period in Agenda Items 11.1 and 11.2, the Swiss Compensation Report describes the actual use of the amount in the prior calendar year.
While we historically have had an advisory say-on-pay on the compensation paid to our named executive officers, that vote is required by SEC rules. The vote in this Agenda Item 11.3 is required pursuant to Swiss law. Consequently, both votes are required to be included on the agenda at the Annual General Meeting.
|
|
|
46
|
| |
Chubb Limited
2023 Proxy Statement
|
|
| For which period does the ratification of the Swiss Compensation Report apply? | | |
The Swiss Compensation Report covers the compensation paid to the members of the Board of Directors and Executive Management for the prior calendar year (2022).
|
|
|
What does this ratification cover?
|
| |
This advisory vote covers the entire Swiss Compensation Report, disclosing aggregate compensation for directors and Executive Management, including the tabular and related narrative disclosures. This ratification covers both director and executive compensation collectively and is not intended to cover just director or Executive Management compensation, or the compensation of any individual director or executive.
|
|
| | | |
For information of the types of compensation covered by this Agenda Item 11.3, as well as how compensation is determined for each of the Board of Directors and Executive Management and how different types of compensation are valued, please see “Q&A Relating to Shareholder Ratification of the Maximum Aggregate Compensation of the Board” in Agenda Item 11.1 and “Q&A Relating to Shareholder Ratification of the Maximum Aggregate Compensation of Executive Management” in Agenda Item 11.2.
|
|
|
Where can I find the Swiss Compensation Report?
|
| |
The Swiss Compensation Report is included in the Chubb Limited 2022 Annual Report, which is part of the proxy materials provided to shareholders. The Chubb Limited 2022 Annual Report can also be found on our website at
investors.chubb.com/governance/
general-meeting-of-shareholders/default.aspx
.
An audit report from PricewaterhouseCoopers AG, our independent auditors, confirming that the Swiss Compensation Report complies with Swiss law is included in the Swiss Compensation Report.
|
|
|
Are there differences between director compensation disclosed in the Swiss Compensation Report and the 2022 Director Compensation table in this proxy statement?
|
| |
The director compensation table in the Swiss Compensation Report is generally the same as the 2022 Director Compensation table included in the Director Compensation section of this proxy statement. The primary differences are that the Swiss Compensation Report (i) includes a Swiss-franc equivalent amount, a year-over-year comparison, and total aggregate director compensation paid for the calendar year (in addition to per director), and (ii) excludes matching contributions made under our matching charitable contribution program for directors because that is considered director compensation under SEC regulations but is not treated as compensation under applicable Swiss compensation disclosure requirements.
|
|
|
Are there differences between executive compensation disclosed in the Swiss Compensation Report and this proxy statement, including in the Summary Compensation Table?
|
| |
There are a few differences between executive compensation disclosed in the Swiss Compensation Report and in the executive compensation section of this proxy statement, including the Summary Compensation Table. This is due to differences between Swiss and SEC compensation disclosure requirements.
First, Swiss and SEC requirements necessitate compensation disclosures for slightly different sets of executives. The Swiss Compensation Report requires disclosure of compensation paid to our Swiss Executive Management, which is a set of executives appointed by the Board based on the applicable provisions of Swiss law and our Organizational Regulations. Our Executive Management is described in Agenda Item 11.2. On the other hand, this proxy statement discloses compensation paid to our named executive officers, which is determined in accordance with SEC rules. In sum, while Mr. Krump and Mr. Lupica are named executive officers, they are not members of Executive Management, and while Mr. Wayland is a member of Executive Management, he is not an SEC named executive officer.
Second, in accordance with Swiss rules, the executive compensation table in the Swiss Compensation Report sets out the individual compensation of Mr. Greenberg, our Chairman and CEO, and the aggregate compensation of the other members of Executive Management. SEC disclosures require the individualized compensation disclosure of each named executive officer.
Third, the equity awards disclosed in the Swiss Compensation Report table represent grants for performance for that particular year (i.e., the equity awards that were granted in February 2023 for performance in 2022 are included in 2022 compensation). This is consistent with how our Compensation Committee views compensation for 2022 as described in the Compensation Discussion & Analysis section of this proxy statement; however, due to SEC requirements, the Summary Compensation Table in this proxy statement shows 2022 equity awards granted in 2022, which were intended to serve as compensation for 2021.

Board
Independence |
| |
•
12 out of 13 of our current directors (and 12 out of 13 of our director nominees) are independent as determined by our Board under NYSE regulations and our Categorical Standards for Director Independence. Our CEO is the only non-independent director.
•
Five standing Board committees — Audit, Compensation, Nominating & Governance, Risk & Finance and Executive. All committees are composed entirely of independent directors, with the exception of the Executive Committee (our Chairman and CEO serves on the Executive Committee).
|
|
|
Board
Composition |
| |
•
Under Swiss law, only our shareholders can elect directors and determine Board size. Our Board may not appoint directors to fill vacancies.
•
Our Nominating & Governance Committee regularly reviews Board composition and the skills, qualifications, backgrounds, experience and other attributes of Board members, both individually and collectively, including consideration of tenure and gender and racial/ethnic diversity.
•
Well-balanced tenure and consistent refreshment over time — 4 new directors since 2020 AGM and 2 new directors proposed by our Board for election this year.
•
Individuals may not be nominated or re-nominated to the Board after they reach 75 years of age; this guideline may be waived from time to time as the Board deems advisable.
•
Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that a director that is a public company chief executive should not sit on more than one public company board (excluding Chubb).
|
|
|
Board Leadership
Structure |
| |
•
Our Chairman is CEO of our Company. Our Board believes he has both the critical skills and experience to best perform both roles at this time. Our Chairman interacts closely with our independent Lead Director, who is appointed by the other independent directors.
•
Our Lead Director has significant and substantive powers and responsibilities, many of which are memorialized in the Company’s Organizational Regulations and Corporate Governance Guidelines. Our Lead Director ensures an appropriate level of Board independence in deliberations and overall governance, and chairs and sets the agenda for executive sessions of the independent directors, which take place at least every regular Board meeting, to discuss certain matters without the Chairman or other management present.
•
Our Lead Director also has the ability to convene Board meetings, establishes the regular Board agenda (with the Chairman), actively engages in the Board’s performance assessment process, and provides input on the design of the Board, including composition and committee structure.
|
|
|
Risk Oversight
|
| |
•
Our full Board and the Risk & Finance Committee are responsible for risk management oversight, with individual Board committees responsible for overseeing specified risks. See “Board Oversight of Risk and Risk Management” for more details.
•
Our Board oversees management as it fulfills its responsibilities for the assessment and mitigation of risks and for taking appropriate risks.
|
|
|
ESG Governance
|
| |
•
We have a robust ESG and Corporate Citizenship governance structure with regular Board and senior management involvement and oversight.
•
The Nominating & Governance Committee has Board-delegated oversight for our Corporate Citizenship activities and ESG policies and initiatives, and other Board committees monitor and review ESG-related matters in accordance with their charter responsibilities. ESG also remains a full Board topic.
•
In 2022 management and outside experts provided multiple updates on ESG issues to the Nominating & Governance Committee and full Board.
|
|

|
| |
Chubb Limited
2023 Proxy Statement
|
|
|
Climate Change Governance
|
| |
•
We implemented an active governance structure to oversee and execute our global environmental program and climate change strategy. At the Board level, our Nominating & Governance Committee is responsible for reviewing ESG issues including climate change, and our Risk & Finance Committee helps execute the Board’s supervisory responsibilities pertaining to enterprise risk management, which include climate risk. The full Board is also involved in these matters.
•
Our management-level Executive Committee, which include our Chairman and CEO and most senior executive leaders, are responsible for aligning climate and other ESG and Corporate Citizenship activities for consistency with the Company’s culture, values, corporate mission and business objectives. The Executive Committee also has executive management responsibility for the execution of underwriting and portfolio management decisions and responses related to climate change. In addition, the Risk and Underwriting Committee, product boards and risk-related committees review risks associated with climate change.
•
We appointed a Global Climate Officer in January 2023 to provide oversight of the Company’s day-to-day climate activities and strategies, including business and public policy initiatives.
|
|
|
Open
Communication |
| |
•
We encourage open communication and strong working relationships among the Lead Director, Chairman and other directors.
•
Our directors have access to members of management and employees, and our Lead Director and members of our committees regularly communicate with members of management other than the CEO on a variety of topics.
•
Shareholders and other interested parties can contact our Board, Audit Committee or Lead Director by e-mail or regular mail.
|
|
|
Shareholder
Input |
| |
•
We conduct a robust annual shareholder outreach program to discuss trends, topics and issues of interest with shareholders and to solicit feedback. We strongly encourage shareholders to set the agenda for engagement discussions.
•
Chubb participants in meetings with shareholders include relevant members of management and at times members of our Board, including our Lead Director.
•
Our 2022 regular engagement program targeted our top 50 shareholders, and also included engagement with a proxy advisory firm and the two shareholder proponents who submitted proposals at last year’s annual meeting.
•
In 2022 and 2023 we also sponsored a series of climate workshops for top shareholders and other stakeholders to discuss how insurers can participate in the global transition to net zero and the development of meaningful actions, metrics and disclosures to communicate their progress.
|
|
|
Accountability
to Shareholders |
| |
•
Shareholders annually elect our Chairman, all directors (by majority vote) and members of our Compensation Committee.
•
There is no plurality concept built into our shareholder voting, unless the number of nominees exceeds the maximum number of director positions as set by shareholders in our Articles of Association. That is because shareholders can determine the number of Board positions, and all nominees who receive a majority of votes cast are, by law, elected to the Board.
•
Under Swiss law, a director cannot remain in office if they do not receive the requisite majority shareholder vote; therefore, a resignation policy for obtaining less than a majority of votes cast is not applicable.
•
Shareholders annually approve in binding votes the maximum compensation of our directors and Swiss Executive Management.
|
|
|
Succession
Planning/ Talent Management |
| |
•
Our Board actively monitors our succession planning and management development.
•
Chairman and CEO succession plans under various scenarios are discussed and reviewed annually.
•
Human capital management is a full Board topic. Senior management provides our Board with regular updates on matters including employee succession and talent development. We are focused on, and our leaders are accountable for, improving gender balance and racial/ethnic diversity at the officer level and in talent development and acquisition.

Our Mission
|
|
|
Protecting the Present and Building a Better Future
Good corporate citizenship lies at our core — how we practice our craft of insurance, how we work together to serve our customers, how we treat each other, and how we work to help make a better world for our communities and our planet. Citizenship is about responsibility — and we express that responsibility in a way that reflects our core values and our mission to protect the present and build a better future.
We accomplish our mission by providing the security from risk that allows people and businesses to grow and prosper. Our mission is realized by sustaining a culture that values and rewards excellence, integrity, inclusion and opportunity; by working to protect our planet and assisting less fortunate individuals and communities in achieving and sustaining productive and healthy lives; and by promoting the rule of law.
From our roots in 18th century Philadelphia, we have built Chubb to be a dynamic, forward-looking global enterprise with a commitment to responsible citizenship. We act on this promise of responsibility through a wide range of activities that include our contributions of time and money.
Underlying our mission and commitment is a strong leadership and governance structure. Our Board of Directors has delegated to our Nominating & Governance Committee responsibility for overseeing Chubb’s Corporate Citizenship activities and ESG-related policies and initiatives, and other Board committees monitor and review specific Corporate Citizenship-related matters in accordance with their charters. Corporate Citizenship also remains a full Board topic. At the senior executive level, our management Executive Committee oversees our Corporate Citizenship program, led by our General Counsel in that regard, and ensures that our activities and policies are consistent with Chubb’s culture, values, corporate mission and business objectives.
We are also active in engaging with key stakeholders (including our shareholders, employees, rating agencies, interest groups and others) on our Corporate Citizenship initiatives and consider their feedback.
Set out herein are just a few of the many initiatives that we are proud of and hope you find of interest. As part of our commitment to accountability and transparency, we also provide regular reports and updates on our Corporate Citizenship and sustainability initiatives, including an annual TCFD report, EEO-1 U.S. workforce demographic data, and an annual report on political activity.

Chubb Limited
2023 Proxy Statement
|
|
|
In determining the compensation direction of the Company and in setting the 2022 compensation for the CEO and other NEOs, the Compensation Committee considered the Company’s performance on key financial metrics on an absolute basis and relative to its Financial Performance Peer Group, progress and execution on operational and strategic objectives, and shareholder value creation.
When deciding 2022 variable pay for the CEO and other NEOs, including both cash bonuses and long-term incentive equity awards, the Compensation Committee recognized their outstanding leadership, sound judgment and steadfast focus, which drove record operating earnings on both a per share and dollar basis, record underwriting and investment income, outstanding premium revenue growth and underwriting margin improvement.
The Compensation Committee determined to increase the CEO’s variable compensation, reflecting the Company’s excellent 2022 financial performance, execution and progress on short-, medium- and long-term operational and strategic objectives, and value created for shareholders. The CEO’s annual cash bonus was increased 2.7% from $7.5 million to $7.7 million. The long-term incentive equity award was increased 1% from $15.5 million to $15.65 million, and in making such decision the Committee determined to eliminate stock options from the CEO’s annual equity grant, resulting in an equity award comprising 100% performance shares that require the achievement of certain Company performance-based criteria over a three-year period to vest. Relatedly, the Committee determined to adjust the maximum payout opportunity on performance shares when achievement of all performance share vesting criteria is satisfied from 165% to 200% of target. The Committee believes that requiring the entirety of the CEO’s (and other NEOs’) equity awards to vest, if at all, depending on Company performance, and eliminating solely time-based equity vesting, more closely aligns the pay of our CEO and other NEOs with long-term Company financial performance and the creation of shareholder value. The Committee further determined to increase the CEO’s base salary from $1.4 million to $1.6 million, taking into account that the CEO’s base salary had not been increased since 2015.
The Compensation Committee believes that 2022 compensation decisions for the CEO and other NEOs are reflective of the Company’s overall operating, strategic, financial and stock price performance, and thus are aligned with shareholders. Further details on the compensation decisions for the CEO and other NEOs are described in “2022 NEO Total Direct Compensation and Performance Summary” beginning on page
109
.
The Compensation Committee’s and Board’s compensation decisions for 2022 reflect the Company’s philosophy to closely link pay to performance, ensuring that its leadership team remains highly motivated, and strongly aligning remuneration outcomes with the creation of shareholder value. The decisions also demonstrate the use of short- and long-term variable pay components to adjust compensation to reflect current year results and longer-term impacts. The success of this philosophy is demonstrated in this year’s excellent financial performance, both on an absolute basis and relative to Chubb’s Financial Performance Peer Group, as well as in long-term stock price performance.

What We Reward
|
| |
Target Opportunity Range
|
| |
What It Achieves
|
|
Fixed compensation
|
| |
Base salary
|
| |
Annual base salary, which is closely tied to role and market.
|
| |
Base salary is targeted at the median of our CEO compensation peer group (for our CEO) and industry peers (for our other NEOs).
|
| |
Provides a competitive market-based level of fixed compensation.
|
|
Variable compensation
|
| |
Cash bonus
|
| |
Each NEO’s annual cash bonus is based on the prior year’s performance, as measured against:
•
Individual Performance Criteria;
•
Company Performance Criteria; and
•
for some NEOs, the performance of the operating unit(s) directly managed by the NEO.
|
| |
The specific annual cash bonus opportunity based on performance for each NEO ranges from:
•
CEO: 0 to 6X annual base salary; and
•
Other NEOs: 0 to 4X annual base salary.
|
| |
Ties officer pay to annual Company and individual performance.
|
|
|
Long-term incentive equity awards
Performance shares
•
Target Awards
•
Premium Awards
Prior to 2023, in addition to performance shares, NEOs were also granted annual long-term incentive equity awards in the form of, depending on the NEO, solely
stock options
(time-based) or a mix of stock options and
restricted stock
(time-based).
Beginning in 2023, 100% of the annual long-term incentive equity awards granted to our NEOs are in the form of performance shares.
|
| |
The value of each NEO’s long-term incentive compensation award is based on the prior year’s performance, as measured against:
•
Individual Performance Criteria;
•
Company Performance Criteria; and
•
for some NEOs, the performance of the operating unit(s) directly managed by the NEO.
The ultimate value realized from these awards is based on the Company’s stock price performance as well as, with respect to performance shares, relative tangible book value per share growth and P&C combined ratio performance over time. Premium Awards are also subject to a TSR modifier.
|
| | The value of the award is determined as a percentage of annual base salary. This varies among NEOs depending on position and performance. The value of the award may go up to 8X annual base salary for NEOs other than the CEO, for whom the range is up to 12X annual base salary. | | |
Ties the current year’s awards to future performance.
The Compensation Committee approves a specific long-term incentive equity award for each NEO that is linked both to prior year performance and multi-year future performance.
Performance shares
encourage superior growth in tangible book value per share and a strong P&C combined ratio relative to peers, as well as superior TSR. The three-year cliff-vesting requirement for performance shares also aligns executive interests with those of shareholders and supports executive retention.
Stock options
reward stock price appreciation.
Restricted stock (time-based)
aligns executive interests with those of shareholders and supports executive retention.

Chubb Limited
2023 Proxy Statement
|
|
|
The Chubb US Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan
This is a non-qualified retirement plan for a select group of employees who are generally higher paid.
Bermuda-based employees who are also employed by a United States employer participate in the Plan.
|
| |
•
Contributions to this plan are made where Internal Revenue Code provisions limit the contributions of these employees under the Chubb US 401(k) Plan.
•
Contributions credited to this supplemental plan mirror the employee contributions and employer matching contributions that would have been made under the Chubb US 401(k) Plan and the non-discretionary 6% employer contribution that would have been made under the Chubb US 401(k) Plan but for the limits imposed by the Internal Revenue Code.
•
Vesting:
Upon completion of two years of service, a participant vests in the employer contributions under this supplemental plan.
•
Distributions:
After termination of employment, regardless of age or reason for termination. Distributions are generally made, or commence, if elected to be paid over more than one year, in February of the year following the participant’s termination of employment, subject to restrictions imposed by Internal Revenue Code Section 409A.
•
Chubb credits employer contributions once each year for participants employed on December 31.
|

|
The Chubb US Deferred
Compensation Plan
This is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for a select group of employees who are generally higher paid that permits them to defer the receipt of a portion of their compensation.
|
| |
•
Participants generally elect the time and form of payment at the same time that they elect to defer compensation. Participants may elect:
–
to receive distributions at a specified date or at termination of employment;
–
to receive distributions in the form of a lump sum or periodic payments;
–
a different distribution date and form of payment each time they elect to defer compensation. The new date and payment form will apply to the compensation that is the subject of the new deferral election.
•
For plan amounts subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, the plan imposes additional requirements on the time and form of payments.
•
Chubb credits employer contributions once each year for participants employed on December 31.
•
The plan also credits employer contributions that would have been made or credited to the Chubb US 401(k) Plan or the Chubb US Supplemental Retirement Plan if the employee had received the compensation rather than electing to defer it, subject to the same vesting period as those plans.
|
|
|
The Pension Excess Benefit Plan of The Chubb Corporation (assumed in connection with the Chubb Corp. acquisition)
This plan is a supplemental, nonqualified, unfunded plan similar to the Chubb Corp. Pension Plan but recognizes compensation above IRS compensation limits. Plan accruals froze effective December 31, 2019, when the Chubb Corp. Pension Plan benefits froze.
|
| |
•
The plan’s benefits are calculated in the same fashion as the Chubb Corp. Pension Plan benefits in excess of IRS limits.
•
The plan benefits are generally paid in a lump sum using an interest rate of 5%.
•
Additional distribution options are permitted for benefits accrued prior to 2005.
|
|
|
The Defined Contribution Excess Benefit Plan of The Chubb Corporation (assumed in connection with the Chubb Corp. acquisition)
This is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for a select group of employees who are generally higher paid that permits them to defer the receipt of a portion of their compensation.
Amounts credited for service in 2016 and later are paid in cash (not deferred).
|
| |
•
The plan provides a 4% contribution above the IRS qualified plan limits.
•
Prior to the Chubb Corp. acquisition, participants could choose to defer these amounts or receive them in cash.
•
In 2004, The Chubb Corporation Employee Stock Ownership Excess Benefit Plan was merged with the plan.
•
Earnings on The Chubb Corporation Employee Stock Ownership Plan shares are based on the change in Common Shares and dividends paid.
•
Effective September 3, 2019, the plan was merged with the Chubb US Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan. This merger keeps all terms of the plan intact but allows participants to change their notional investments to choices offered under the Chubb US Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan.
|
|
|
The Chubb Corporation Key Employee Deferred Compensation Plan (assumed in connection with the Chubb Corp. acquisition)
This is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for a select group of employees who are generally higher paid that permits them to defer the receipt of a portion of their compensation.
|
| |
•
The plan permitted deferrals of salary, bonus and stock awards.
•
Our acquisition of Chubb Corp. was a distributable event (where chosen) and Mr. Krump received a distribution from the plan.
•
The plan contains an older plan, The Chubb Corporation Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, which is not subject to Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. Mr. Krump has deferrals under both pre-409A and 409A plans.
