Amendment to Dix Employment Agreement
On December 10, 2015, Hampton Roads Bankshares, Inc. (the "Company") amended the employment agreement, dated August 19, 2014, between the Company and Thomas B. Dix III (the "Dix Employment Agreement"). The amendment to the Dix Employment Agreement (the "Dix Amendment") revises the lump sum cash payment to which Mr. Dix will be entitled following a termination other than for "cause" or a resignation by Mr. Dix for "good reason" (as those terms are defined in the Dix Employment Agreement) to the sum of (i) two times his current rate of annual base salary and (ii) the average of his last two years' annual bonuses earned.  The Dix Amendment removes the provisions of the Dix Employment Agreement that provided for alternative payment amounts and procedures in connection with a termination other than for cause or a resignation good reason following a "change in control."
The foregoing summary description of certain terms of the Dix Employment Agreement and the Dix Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Dix Employment Agreement and the Dix Amendment, copies of which are attached as Exhibit 10.2 to the Company's current report on Form 8-K filed on August 22, 2014 (as amended by the first amendment to the Dix Employment Agreement, attached as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company's current report on Form 8-K filed on September 29, 2015), and as Exhibit 10.1 to this report, respectively, and which are incorporated by reference into this Item 5.02.
Amendment to Richards Employment Agreement
Also on December 10, 2015, the Company amended the employment agreement, dated May 22, 2013, between the Company and Donna W. Richards (the "Richards Employment Agreement"). The amendment to the Richards Employment Agreement (the "Richards Amendment") revises the obligations of the Company and Ms. Richards regarding continuing COBRA coverage following a termination other than for "cause" or a resignation by Ms. Richards for "good reason" (as those terms are defined in the Richards Employment Agreement) and changes the definition of "good reason" to provide that a relocation of Ms. Richards' primary place of employment of more than 50 miles will constitute "good reason," whether or not the Company's headquarters also are relocated.  The Richards Amendment also removes the provisions of the Richards Employment Agreement that provided for alternative payment amounts and procedures in connection with a termination other than for cause or a resignation good reason following a "change in control."
The foregoing summary description of certain terms of the Richards Employment Agreement and the Richards Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Richards Employment Agreement and the Richards Amendment, copies of which are attached as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, filed on August 14, 2013 (as amended by the first and second amendments to the Employment Agreement, attached as Exhibit 10.3 to the Company's current report on Form 8-K filed on August 22, 2014 and Exhibit 10.1 to the amendment to the Company's current report on Form 8-K filed on September 29, 2015, respectively), and as Exhibit 10.2 to this report, respectively, and which are incorporated by reference into this Item 5.02.
Amendment to Award Agreements
On December 10, 2015, the Compensation Committee amended the outstanding restricted stock unit award agreements with certain of its executive officers, including Mr. Dix and Ms. Richards, to provide that such awards shall become fully vested and, in the case of options, exercisable with respect to 100% of the shares subject to such option, upon a termination other than for "cause" or a resignation by the employee for "good reason" as those terms are defined in the respective employment agreements for such employee.  The form of amendment is attached as Exhibit 10.3 to this report and is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.02.
