Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain
Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
(e)    On January 1, 2019, Argo Group US, Inc. (the "Company"),
a subsidiary of Argo Group International Holdings, Ltd., executed an Executive Employment Agreement (the "Agreement") with Kevin J. Rehnberg, the Company's President, Group Chief Administrative Officer and Head of Americas, that
terminates on December 31, 2022. The Agreement replaces and supersedes the employment agreement previously entered into between the Company and Mr. Rehnberg. The Agreement provides that Mr. Rehnberg will receive an annualized base salary
of $750,000 less applicable withholdings and deductions (the "Base Salary"). The Company will review the Base Salary annually and may increase (but not decrease) the Base Salary. Mr. Rehnberg also may be eligible to earn annual incentive
awards in the sole discretion of the Company with an annual target participation rate of $863,000 and long-term incentive awards with an annual target participation rate of $1,000,000.
In the event that the Company terminates Mr. Rehnberg for Cause (as defined in the Agreement) or if Mr. Rehnberg elects to terminate
his employment with the Company, he will receive his Base Salary, certain expense reimbursements and any benefits accrued (collectively, the "Accrued Benefits"), in each case to the extent accrued as of the date of termination, and he will
not be entitled to any other benefits except as required by law.
In the event that the Company terminates Mr. Rehnberg without
Cause, Mr. Rehnberg will receive the Accrued Benefits, any earned but unpaid annual cash incentive award for the year immediately preceding termination, and any target annual cash incentive award for the year of such termination (pro rated for
such year through the date of termination), and all unvested equity awards will remain in force as if no termination had occurred; provided that (i) any performance-based equity awards will vest based on actual performance through the end of
the applicable performance period, (ii) unvested options will remain exercisable for 90 days following the last vesting date, but not beyond the original term and (iii) any such termination within 2 years after a Change of Control (as
defined in the Agreement) will result in all unvested equity awards fully vesting. In addition, Mr. Rehnberg will be entitled to receive a payment equal to the sum of his Base Salary and target annual cash incentive award in the year of
termination (or, if no target has been set, the target amount for the prior year), or two times such amount if a Change in Control has then occurred or is reasonably expected to occur. In addition, Mr. Rehnberg shall also be eligible for
continuation of health benefits at the active rate for up to 18 months or, if earlier, until he obtains reasonably equivalent coverage. The Agreement also provides for payments upon termination under the Agreement to be reduced, to the extent doing
so would not reduce Mr. Rehnberg's aggregate (after tax) payments and benefits under the Agreement, so that no portion of such payments will be subject to excise taxes under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended.
The Agreement contains certain confidentiality provisions and prohibits Mr. Rehnberg from competing with the Company or its
affiliates, or soliciting its customers or employees for the
one-year
period following his termination.
A copy of the Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form
8-K
