On September 15, 2009, John Bean Technologies Corporation (the “Company”) announced to its employees that the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors authorized an amendment to the John Bean Technologies Corporation Non-Qualified Savings and Investment Plan (the “Non-Qualified Savings Plan”).

The amendment to the Non-Qualified Savings Plan described above was effected in connection with that initiative.

The net cost reductions reported in the September 15 Report included the impact of the amendment to the Non-Qualified Savings Plan.

The executed amendment to the Non-Qualified Savings Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.

5.4 Nonelective Contributions Account . The Committee will establish and maintain a Nonelective Contributions Account on behalf of each Participant who is credited with Nonelective Contributions.
