Material Changes and Corporate Actions
- Key Employee Retention Agreement: The Board adopted a Key Employee Retention and Restrictive Covenant Agreement for key management members, including Named Executive Officers. This formalizes separation benefits previously disclosed in July 2020.
- Severance Terms:
- Standard Termination: Involuntary termination without cause or termination for good reason prior to a change in control triggers severance ranging from 0.583 to 2.0 times the executive's salary and target bonus, plus benefits continuation.
- Change in Control: A "double-trigger" provision applies if termination occurs within one year following a change in control. Severance ranges from 0.75 to 2.5 times salary and target bonus, plus benefits continuation.
- Restrictions: Receipt of benefits is contingent upon the executive executing a release of claims and adhering to non-competition, non-solicitation, and non-disparagement restrictions.
- Management Incentive Plan (MIP): The Board adopted a new MIP effective January 1, 2021. It provides annual bonuses based on company and individual performance goals. The maximum potential payout is two times the participant's bonus opportunity amount.
