​
On September 23, 2021, the Board of Directors of Sportsman's Warehouse Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") appointed Jeff White as Vice President of Finance, Chief Accounting Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer of the Company, effective September 26, 2021. Mr. White will perform the functions of the Company's principal accounting officer and principal financial officer. Mr. White was also appointed to serve as the Company's Secretary.
​
Mr. White, 36, has served as the Company's Senior Director, Finance and Accounting since August 2016. Prior to his time at the Company, Mr. White served as Manager at KPMG LLP from August 2011 to August 2016.
​
In connection with his appointment as Vice President of Finance, Chief Accounting Officer, Interim Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, Mr. White will receive an annual base salary of $260,000 and will have a target bonus level of 35% of his base salary. In addition, Mr. White was granted an award of 75,000 restricted stock units under the Company's 2019 Performance Incentive Plan.  Such restricted stock units will vest in three substantially equal installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date, subject to Mr. White's continued employment with the Company, or if earlier, will vest in full upon a change in control of the Company. In addition, Mr. White will receive a total retention bonus opportunity of $150,000, with 50% of such bonus opportunity scheduled to vest on the closing of the proposed merger with Great Outdoors Group, LLC (the "Closing") and 50% on the first anniversary of the Closing. Mr. White will also be eligible to participate in the Company's benefit plans generally made available to the executives of the Company.
​
In connection with Mr. White's appointment, the Company entered into a severance agreement (the "Agreement") with Mr. White. The Agreement provides that Mr. White's employment may be terminated by the Company or by Mr. White for any reason at any time, with or without notice. In the event Mr. White's employment is terminated by the Company without "Gross Misconduct," or by Mr. White for "Good Reason" (as these terms are defined in the Agreement), Mr. White will be entitled to receive, subject to providing a release of claims to the Company, (i) continued payment of his base salary (as severance pay) for twelve months following such termination of employment, (ii) a pro-rated portion of his target annual bonus for the year in which such termination of employment occurs, (iii) reimbursement for COBRA premiums for up to twelve months, and (iv) accelerated vesting of any equity awards granted to him by the Company if such termination of employment occurs on or after a "Change of Control" (as defined in the Agreement), to the extent such awards are outstanding and unvested immediately prior to such termination of employment.
​
The Agreement also includes confidentiality, non-compete, and non-solicitation covenants in favor of the Company.
​
The foregoing description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
​
The Company also intends to enter into a customary indemnification agreement with Mr. White, the form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 8, 2019.
​
