Hardy for<br /> Defendant and Appellant.<br /> <br/>* * *<br /> <br/> <br /> <br/> <br /> <br/> We<br /> now have before us Donald R. Roden (Roden) and AmerisourceBergen Corporation<br /> (AmerisourceBergen) in the fourth round of their dispute concerning Roden's<br /> entitlements arising out of his employment termination. In the third appeal, we addressed a<br /> postjudgment order concerning retirement benefits, a severance payment, a stock<br /> option award, and loan forgiveness. As<br /> concerns the retirement benefits, we reversed the portions of the postjudgment order with respect to the<br /> amount of the change in control benefit and the amount of any excise taxes and<br /> resultant income taxes owing to Roden under the company's supplemental<br /> executive retirement plan (SERP). â€
