Item 5.02.    Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

The Board of Directors of Southern Graphic Systems, Inc. ("Southern") adopted the Southern Graphic Systems, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Deferred Plan") effective as of April 1, 2006. Southern is a wholly-owned subsidiary of SGS International, Inc. (the "Company").

Employees of Southern and its affiliates who are active participants in Southern's Savings Plan (the "Savings Plan") and whose base salary exceeds levels prescribed in the Deferred Plan ($125,000 in 2009) are eligible to participate in the Deferred Plan. The Deferred Plan is unfunded and benefits under the Deferred Plan are paid from the general assets of the Company. Participants whose salary deferrals to the Company's qualified plans are limited by Internal Revenue Code limitations may elect to reduce their salary and credit to the Deferred Plan the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of salary deferrals that would have been credited pursuant to the Savings Plan on their behalf for the plan year had the statutory limitations not been applicable over (ii) the amount of salary deferrals actually credited for the year by the participant to the Savings Plan. Salary reduction credits under the Deferred Plan are in the same percentage as most recently elected under the Savings Plan. For each payroll period for which the Company credits salary to the Deferred Plan on behalf of the participant, matching credits are also credited to the Deferred Plan on behalf of the participant. The matching credits for each payroll period are equal to an amount not greater than 100 percent of that portion of the salary reduction credits that do not exceed 6% of the participant's salary for the payroll period. Eligible Deferred Plan participants may defer all or a portion of their awards under the Company's Management Incentive Bonus Plan into the Deferred Plan, in 10% increments. There are no employer matching contributions on management incentive compensation awards deferred into the Deferred Plan. The balance of a participant's benefit under the Deferred Plan will be distributed upon the participant's termination of employment or death (to the participant's beneficiary) in a lump sum, unless the participant elects to have the benefit paid in annual installments over a period of not more than ten years.

The Deferred Plan was amended on February 10, 2009, with retroactive effect as of January 1, 2008, to address, in accordance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, the timeframe within which elections to receive a distribution in annual installments must be made for the installments to begin in the year following the participant's separation from service rather than in the sixth year following the participant's separation from service. A copy of the Second Amendment to the Deferred Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
