Item 5.02.
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On March 14, 2022, Conformis, Inc. (the "Company"), announced that Denise Pedulla has been appointed by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") to serve as the Company's Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary, effective March 14, 2022. In her role, Ms. Pedulla will oversee the Company's global legal organization.
Ms. Pedulla, age 62, previously served as the General Counsel and Corporate Secretary at Neogenomics, Inc. ("Neogenomins"), a clinical laboratory, pharmaceutical services, and bioinformatics company, from 2015 to 2021. Prior to that she held various leadership roles at Berkeley Research Group, Orthofix International N.V., and Fresenius Medical Care NA.  Ms. Pedulla received her Master of Public Health from Harvard University, and her Juris Doctor from Suffolk University School of Law.
In connection with her appointment, Ms. Pedulla and the Company entered into an employment agreement, dated February 28, 2022, related to her commencement of employment on March 14, 2022 (the "Employment Agreement"). The Employment Agreement provides for an initial annual base salary of $375,000. Ms. Pedulla is also eligible, in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board, to receive an annual bonus of at least Forty percent (40%) of her annual base salary.
As an inducement to Ms. Pedulla agreeing to employment with the Company, the Board granted to Ms. Pedulla on March 14, 2022 (i) a restricted stock unit award of 450,000 shares of the Company's common stock, and (ii) stock options to acquire 450,000 shares of the Company's common stock (with an exercise price equal to the closing price of the common stock on the grant date). The restricted stock units and stock options both vest in various staggered installments over an 8-year period, as set forth in the respective award agreements, subject to service by Ms. Pedulla through the applicable vesting dates.
The Employment Agreement provides that Ms. Pedulla's employment with the Company is at will and may be terminated by either party at any time for any or no reason or cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement). In the event the Company terminates her employment other than for cause, or if Ms. Pedulla terminates her employment for good reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement), the Company is required to (i) continue to pay her base salary for a period of six months (twelve months if such termination occurs during the three months preceding or twelve months following a change of control), and (ii) provide Ms. Pedulla with continuation of health insurance coverage for such same period, and (iii) accelerate certain of Ms. Pedulla's unvested equity awards.
The foregoing description of the Employment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Employment Agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1.
