Section 5 - Corporate Governance and Management
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On January 9, 2023, Jeffrey D. Trom informed Workiva Inc. (the "Company") of his intention to retire as Chief Technology Officer of the Company, effective as of February 1, 2023. Thereafter, Mr. Trom will provide services to the Company as a non-executive consultant.
In connection with this announcement and new role, the Company and Mr. Trom mutually agreed to terminate his existing employment agreement and enter into a 12-month consulting agreement (the "Agreement"), which provides for a monthly retainer of $10,000, to consult on a periodic basis with the Company's research and development leadership. The Agreement contains non-competition and non-hire clauses customary for agreements of this type. Either party may terminate the consulting relationship at any time and for any reason. In the event of a termination, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors may in its discretion either accelerate any unvested restricted stock units ("RSUs") or enable the RSUs to vest in accordance with the terms of those awards and the Workiva Inc. 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, as applicable. Mr. Trom will also be eligible to continue participating in the Company's health insurance plan under COBRA for 18 months following the effective date of his retirement.
The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of the Agreement filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
