Officer Transition and Designation of Executive Chairman
On January 23, 2019, the Company announced that Daniel S. Schwartz, the Company's
Chief Executive Officer, is transitioning, effective as of such date, to the newly created role of Executive Chairman of the Company. In addition, in recognition of the valuable advice and counsel that Mr. Schwartz has provided the Company, the
Company's Board of Directors has requested that Mr. Schwartz continue to serve as a director on the Board and, effective immediately, serve as
Co-Chairman
of the Board along with Alexandre Behring.
In his role as Executive Chairman of the Company and
Co-Chairman
of the Board, Mr. Schwartz will remain deeply involved with the Company and will continue to focus on talent acquisition, capital
allocation and major strategic initiatives of the Company.
The Company also announced that, effective January 23, 2019, the Board appointed
José E. Cil to succeed Mr. Schwartz as Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Cil has held the position of President, Burger King since December 2014. Mr. Cil, 49, previously served in various roles at Burger King Worldwide and its
predecessor. Additional biographical information for Mr. Cil can be found in the Company's annual report on Form
10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2017 filed on February 23, 2018, and is
incorporated by reference herein.
In connection with his appointment as Chief Executive Officer, the Board approved an increase to Mr. Cil's
annual salary from $600,000 to $800,000, and an increase to his annual target bonus opportunity from 200% to 300% of his annual salary. In addition, the Company will enter into
tri-party
Employment and Post
Covenants Agreements (the "
Tri-Party
Agreements
") with Mr. Cil and two of the Company's subsidiaries, Burger King Corporation ("
BKC
") and The TDL Group Corp
("
TDL
") in the form previously approved by the Board for all similarly situated Company officers reflecting such compensation terms. A description of the
Tri-Party
Agreements is set forth in
the Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed on April 27, 2018. Mr. Schwartz will continue to receive his current compensation package for services in his new role through September 30, 2019, except that he will not be eligible to
receive an annual bonus for 2019 which would have been paid in early 2020. In connection with the transition, Mr. Schwartz's existing Employment and Post Covenants Agreements with the Company, BKC and TDL, each dated February 9, 2015
(the "
Schwartz Agreements
"), will be amended to reflect the newly approved terms. All other terms of the Schwartz Agreements, as previously disclosed, will remain in effect until September 30, 2019, at which time
Mr. Schwartz will continue as
Co-Chairman
of the Board but will no longer be employed by the Company.
