Amended Executive Severance Plan
On July 20, 2020
, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee (the "HRCC") of the board of directors of Mallinckrodt plc ("Mallinckrodt" or the "Company") approved amendments to the Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals Severance Plan for U.S. Officers and Executives (as amended, the "Severance Plan"), effective as of July 20, 2020, substantially in the form filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.  These changes are largely administrative in nature and include a clarifying change making clear that payments made pursuant to the 2020 Key Employee Incentive Program that were intended to replace an executive's long-term incentive target opportunity shall not be included in any calculations for the determination of severance payments.
The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms and conditions of the Severance Plan, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Form of Executive Employment Agreement
On July 20, 2020, the
HRCC also approved a form of employment agreement to be entered into with each of Mallinckrodt's executive officers, including its named executive officers (the "Employment Agreement"), substantially in the form filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The Employment Agreement is intended to codify into a contractual arrangement the severance benefits that each executive officer is already entitled to under the Severance Plan and is aligned to the Severance Plan in all material respects.
The Employment Agreement is to be entered into between each executive officer and ST Shared Services LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mallinckrodt plc that serves as the employing entity for all U.S. based employees.
