Item 5.02    Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On
October 30, 2023
, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "
Committee
") of PagerDuty, Inc. (the "
Company
"), as part of the Company's periodic review of  its severance arrangements, approved the Amended and Restated Executive Severance and Change in Control Policy (the "
Severance Policy
"), which is applicable to certain eligible executives of the Company (including the named executive officers other than Chief Executive Officer Jennifer Tejada), and a Second Amended and Restated Officer Letter with Ms. Tejada (the "
Tejada Letter
").
Amended and Restated Executive Severance and Change in Control Policy
The Severance Policy has a three-year term, commencing
October 30, 2023
and is subject to automatic renewal for an additional year on each anniversary of such date.  In the event of a change in control during the term of the Severance Policy, the policy will remain in effect until at least the 18-month anniversary of the consummation of the change in control.
Each of the named executive officers (other than Ms. Tejada) has been designated a Tier 2 participant in the Severance Policy.  If a Tier 2 participant's employment is terminated without cause or for good reason other than within three months before or 18 months following a change in control, such participant would be eligible for (a) a lump sum cash amount equal to the product of 0.5 multiplied by the sum of the participant's annual base salary and target annual bonus opportunity, and (b) subsidized continuation of the health plan benefits for the participant and his or her eligible dependents for up to six months following the date of termination.
If a Tier 2 participant's employment is terminated without cause or for good reason within three months before or 18 months following a change in control, such participant would be eligible for (a) a lump sum cash amount equal to the product of 1.0 multiplied by the sum of the participant's annual base salary and target annual bonus opportunity, (b) a prorated amount of the participant's target annual bonus opportunity from the beginning of the Company's fiscal year until the date of termination, (c) subsidized continuation of the health plan benefits for the participant and his or her eligible dependents for up to 12 months following the date of termination, and (d) full vesting of the participant's then-unvested time-based equity awards (with performance-based equity awards treated in accordance with the applicable award agreements).
The foregoing severance benefits are subject to the participant's execution of a release of claims in favor of the Company.  If a payment to the participant (whether under the Severance Policy or otherwise) would be subject to Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, such payment would be reduced to the extent the participant would be better off on an after-tax basis.
Amended and Restated Offer Letter with Jennifer Tejada
The Tejada Letter reflects Ms. Tejada's current annual base salary of $600,000 and target annual bonus opportunity of $600,000. If Ms. Tejada's employment is terminated without cause, for good reason or due to death or disability other than within three months before or 24 months following a change in control, she would be eligible for (a) a cash severance amount equal to the product of 1.0 multiplied by the sum of her annual base salary and target annual bonus opportunity, plus an additional $12,000, (b) accelerated vesting and exercisability, as applicable, of her then outstanding time-based equity awards with respect to that number of shares equal to 50% of the number of shares originally subject to such equity awards (with performance-based equity awards treated in accordance with the applicable award agreements), (c) a prorated amount of her target annual bonus opportunity from the beginning of the Company's fiscal year until the date of termination, and (d) subsidized continuation of the health plan benefits for her and her eligible dependents for up to 12 months following the date of termination.
If Ms. Tejada's employment is terminated without cause, for good reason or due to death or disability within three months before or 24 months following a change in control, she would be eligible for (a) a cash severance amount equal to the product of 1.5 multiplied by the sum of her annual base salary and target annual bonus opportunity, plus an additional $12,000, (b) full accelerated vesting and exercisability, as applicable, of her then outstanding time-based equity awards (with performance-based equity awards treated in accordance with the applicable award agreements), (c) a prorated amount of her target annual bonus opportunity from the beginning of the Company's fiscal year until the date of termination, and (d) subsidized continuation of the health plan benefits for her and her eligible dependents for up to 18 months following the date of termination.
