Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
Item 5.02(e) – Amendment and Restatement of Change in Control Agreements
On April 20, 2016, the Personnel & Compensation Committee of the Board approved, and all of the respective parties have since signed, an amendment and restatement of the Change in Control Agreements in effect with the Company's executive officers, including each of the Company's "named executive officers" (those executive officers who are listed in the compensation disclosure in our Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement dated March 4, 2016).  The Amended and Restated Change in Control Agreements (hereinafter, the "Change in Control Agreements") are, except as noted below, each based on an identical form of agreement and supersede the predecessor version of such agreements previously in effect for each executive officer.  The Change in Control Agreements were, as a general matter, put in place to accomplish various clarifying and technical changes (and not to materially change the amount of payments and benefits which could become due thereunder).
The Change in Control Agreements provide each executive with the following severance payments and benefits in the event that the executive's employment is terminated by the Company without "Cause" (other than due to death or disability) or by the executive for "Good Reason" during the two-year period immediately following a Change in Control of the Company (or in certain circumstances during the period prior to a Change in Control):
·
a lump-sum cash payment equal to two times the executive's base salary (three times in the case of our Chief Executive Officer), plus two times (three times in the case of our Chief Executive Officer) the executive's target annual bonus for the year of termination;
·
a pro-rata portion of the executive's annual bonus for the performance year in which the termination occurs (based on target performance);
·
continued participation at the Company's expense for 24 months in all medical, dental and accidental death and disability plans which cover the executive and the executive's eligible dependents (subject to offset if the executive becomes covered due to future employment);
·
full vesting of outstanding equity and cash LTIP awards (at the target level of performance for performance-vesting awards);
- 3 -
·
eligibility for benefits under any post-retirement health care plans if the executive would have otherwise become eligible for those benefits by remaining employed through the second anniversary of the employment termination date, commencing on the later of the date that such coverage would have become first available and the date on which the executive's post-employment participation in the Company's benefit plans terminates;
·
reimbursement of up to $30,000 (in the aggregate) for outplacement services, relocation costs, or both, until the earlier of the first anniversary of the date of termination or the first day of the executive's employment with a new employer.
None of our executive officers are entitled to any "gross-up" payments under the Change in Control Agreements with respect to any golden parachute excise taxes which may be imposed on payment and benefits under the agreements.  Under certain circumstances, an executive's payments and benefits under the agreement may be reduced in order to avoid the imposition of such taxes.  In addition, severance payments under the agreement are subject to the executive's execution of a release of claims in favor of the Company and compliance with certain restrictive covenants (such as non-solicitation and non-competition covenants).
Generally, for purposes of the Change in Control Agreements, a Change in Control occurs if: (i) a person unaffiliated with the Company acquires control of thirty-five percent or more of the combined voting power of the Company's outstanding securities; (ii) there is a change in a majority of the Company's directors during a two-year period which is not approved by a vote of a majority of the incumbent directors; (iii) there is a merger of the Company with an unrelated entity that results in the Company's shareholders owning fifty percent or less of the voting securities of the merged entity (or its parent company); or (iv) there is a sale of substantially all of the Company's assets to an unrelated third party or shareholder approval of a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company.
"Cause" for purposes of the Change in Control Agreements generally means: (i) the willful and continued failure of the executive to substantially perform the executive's duties with the Company after notice from the Company; or (ii) the willful engaging by the executive in conduct which is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company or its subsidiaries, monetarily or otherwise.
"Good Reason" for purposes of the Change in Control Agreements generally means (i) the assignment to the executive of any duties inconsistent with the executive's position prior to the Change in Control or a substantial diminution in the nature or status of the executive's responsibilities; (ii) a reduction by the Company in the executive's annual base salary; (iii) the relocation of the executive's principal place of employment to a location more than 50 miles from the Executive's principal place of employment immediately prior to the Change in Control; and (iv) the Company's failure (A) to pay to the executive any portion of his current or deferred compensation, within 30 days of the date such compensation is due; (B) to continue in effect any compensation plan in which the executive participates immediately prior to the Change in Control which is material to his total compensation without an equitable substitute; (C) to provide life insurance, health and accident, or disability plans that are substantially similar to those in which the executive was participating immediately prior to the Change in Control; (D) to provide the executive with the number of paid vacation days to which he was entitled to prior to the Change in Control; or (E) to comply with the employment termination procedures for Cause set forth in the Change in Control Agreements.
Each of the Change in Control Agreements has an initial five-year term and will thereafter automatically renew for additional one-year periods, absent delivery of notice of non-renewal by either party.
The preceding summary of the form Change in Control Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such form of agreement, a complete copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 and is hereby incorporated by reference in response to this Item 5.02(e).
