Change in Role of Tadeu Nardocci
On July 25, 2024, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Novelis Inc. (the "Company") determined that, effective July 1, 2024, Antonio Tadeu Coelho Nardocci, current Interim President, Novelis North America and a named executive officer of the Company, ceased to hold the position of Interim President, Novelis North America, and that, as of such date, Mr. Nardocci shall continue as an executive officer of the Company and be appointed Executive Vice President, Manufacturing Operations of the Company.
Adoption of Executive Severance Plans
On July 25, 2024, the Board unanimously approved and adopted a United States Executive Severance Plan (the "Executive Severance Plan") and a Change in Control Executive Severance Plan (the "Executive CIC Severance Plan" and, collectively with the Executive Severance Plan, the "Severance Plans"), each effective July 25, 2024, pursuant to which certain of our executives, including certain of our named executive officers, are eligible to receive benefits. The Severance Plans were previously approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board. The Severance Plans provide for severance benefits to participants in connection with (1) a qualified termination not in connection with a change in control, and (2) a qualified termination in connection with a change in control.
Upon a qualified termination under the Executive Severance Plan, participants are entitled to:
•
payment of the executive's accrued benefits, including any earned but unpaid base salary and/or annual incentive bonus;
•
severance pay in the amount of one times the executive's annual base salary in addition to a payment equal to one times the executive's target compensation under the applicable fiscal year's Annual Incentive Plan ("AIP Compensation") (in the case of the Chief Financial Officer, 1.25 times base salary and 1.25 times target AIP Compensation and in the case of the Chief Executive Officer, 1.5 times annual base salary and 1.5 times target AIP Compensation);
•
reimbursement for the full premium costs of COBRA continuation health coverage for 12 months;
•
life insurance continuation coverage for 12 months;
•
24 months of benefit plan credit (pro-rated over 12 months) under the Company's tax-qualified and non-qualified pension, savings, or other retirement plans; and
•
full accelerated vesting under the Company's tax-qualified and non-qualified pension, savings, or other retirement plans.
Upon a change in control termination under the Executive CIC Severance Plan, participants are entitled to:
•
payment of the executive's accrued benefits, including any earned but unpaid base salary and/or annual incentive bonus;
•
severance pay in the amount of two times the executive's annual base salary in addition to a payment equal to two times the executive's target AIP Compensation bonus payout;
•
a lump sum payment equal to the full premium costs of 24 months of medical continuation health coverage;
•
a lump sum payment equal to a prorated portion of the executive's target AIP Compensation;
•
life insurance continuation coverage for 24 months;
•
24 months of benefit plan credit (pro-rated over 24 months) under the Company's tax-qualified and non-qualified pension, savings, or other retirement plans; and
•
full accelerated vesting under the Company's tax-qualified and non-qualified pension, savings, or other retirement plans.
All benefits under the Severance Plans are subject to the executives' execution of an effective release of claims against us.
For purposes of the Severance Plans, a "qualifying termination" means any termination of employment (1) by the Company other than for death, "disability" or "cause" or (2) by the executive, for "good reason". A "change in control termination" is a qualifying termination that occurs during the period commencing 6 months preceding and ending 24 months after a "change in control" (as defined under the Severance Plans).
The Executive Severance Plan and the Executive CIC Severance Plan are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference. The above descriptions of the material terms of the Severance Plans are qualified in their entirety by reference to such exhibits.
