On September 30, 2013, Freddie Mac (formally known as the Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation) issued a press release announcing the appointment of James G. Mackey as the company's executive vice president and chief financial officer, effective the week of November 11, 2013.
Mackey, age 46, will succeed Ross J. Kari, who has served as executive vice president and chief financial officer since October 2009. On December 18,
2012, Kari notified the company of his intent to retire in the second half of 2013 following his 55
th
birthday.
A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
Mackey joins Freddie Mac from Ally Financial Inc., an auto finance and direct banking financial services company, where he has been serving as executive vice
president and chief financial officer since June 2011, after serving as interim chief financial officer since April 2010. Mackey joined Ally Financial in March 2009 as group vice president and senior finance executive. Previously, Mackey served as
chief financial officer for the Corporate Investments, Corporate Treasury and Private Equity divisions at Bank of America Corporation, a financial services firm, from 2007 to 2009.
Freddie Mac has entered into a Memorandum Agreement with Mackey, which provides for his employment as executive vice president and chief financial officer of
Freddie Mac. A copy of the Memorandum Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. The Federal Housing Finance Agency ("FHFA"), the company's conservator, has approved
this Memorandum Agreement and consulted with the U.S. Department of the Treasury ("Treasury").
The terms of his Memorandum Agreement
provide Mackey with the following during his employment with Freddie Mac:
•
An annual base salary of $500,000;
•
A target annual total direct compensation ("Target TDC") opportunity of $3,000,000, which will consist of the base salary of $500,000 and deferred salary of $2,500,000. Deferred salary is earned in each
quarter and is paid in cash in the last pay period of the corresponding quarter of the following calendar year. The at-risk portion of the deferred salary is equal to thirty percent of Mackey's Target TDC, or $900,000, up to half of which may
be reduced based on the company's performance against objectives established by FHFA and up to half of which may be reduced based on performance against objectives established by Freddie Mac and Mackey's individual performance. The fixed
portion of the deferred salary is equal to Mackey's Target TDC less his base salary and at-risk deferred salary, and is equal to $1,600,000;
•
A cash sign-on award of $960,000 in recognition of the forfeited compensation at his current employer and commuting expenses during the first several months of employment. This award will be paid in installments during
Mackey's first year of employment with Freddie Mac. If Mackey is not an employee of Freddie Mac on an installment payment date, the installment will be forfeited. Each installment will be subject to repayment in the event that, prior to the
first anniversary of an installment payment date, Mackey terminates his employment with Freddie Mac for any reason or Freddie Mac terminates his employment due to the occurrence of any of the forfeiture events described in the recapture and
forfeiture agreement. A copy of the form of recapture and forfeiture agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.3 to Freddie Mac's Form 8-K filed June 12, 2013 and is incorporated herein by reference. For a description of this recapture and
forfeiture agreement see Freddie Mac's Form 8-K filed June 12, 2013; and
•
The opportunity to participate in all employee benefit plans offered to Freddie Mac's senior executive officers, including the company's Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ("SERP"), pursuant to
the terms of these plans. For a description of these plans see Freddie Mac's Form 10-K filed February 28, 2013.
Freddie Mac
also has entered into a Restrictive Covenant and Confidentiality Agreement with Mackey. A copy of the Restrictive Covenant and Confidentiality Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by
reference. Mackey is subject to non-competition and non-solicitation of employees restrictions for a period of one year following any termination of his employment, and he is also subject to certain restrictions with respect to confidential
information obtained during the course of his employment.
Freddie Mac will enter into an indemnification agreement with Mackey. A copy of the form of
indemnification agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.54 to Freddie Mac's Form 10-K filed March 9, 2012 and is incorporated herein by reference. For a description of this indemnification agreement see Freddie Mac's
Form 10-K filed February 28, 2013.
