ITEM 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On August 13, 2021, the Board of Directors of Ameren Corporation (the “Company”) elected Theresa A. Shaw as Senior Vice President, Finance and Chief Accounting Officer and the principal accounting officer of the Company, effective as of August 16, 2021.
Ms. Shaw, age 48, joined Ameren Services Company (“Ameren Services”) in 2002 as a supervisor of Investor Relations and Financial Communications and was promoted to Director of External Reporting in 2009. In 2013, Ms. Shaw relinquished her position at Ameren Services and was elected Assistant Vice President and Controller of the Company. In 2014, she was elected Vice President of Internal Audit of the Company. In 2018, Ms. Shaw relinquished her position at the Company and was elected Vice President of Regulatory Affairs and Financial Services of Ameren Illinois Company (“Ameren Illinois”), and in 2019 she was elected Senior Vice President of Regulatory Affairs and Financial Services of Ameren Illinois.
Upon the effectiveness of Ms. Shaw’s election, Bruce A. Steinke, who had previously served as the Company’s Senior Vice President, Finance and Chief Accounting Officer, ceased to perform the duties of principal accounting officer. Mr. Steinke will continue with Ameren Services in a new role, as Senior Vice President and Chief Transformation Officer.
Ms. Shaw’s election was not pursuant to any agreement or understanding between her and any other person. There is no family relationship between Ms. Shaw and any director or executive officer of the Company, and there are no transactions between Ms. Shaw and the Company that are required to be reported under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
Effective as of August 16, 2021, Ms. Shaw’s base salary will be increased from $315,200 to $350,000. Also effective as of August 16, 2021, her target cash award under the Company’s 2021 short-term incentive plan (“STIP”) will be increased from 45% to 55% of her base salary, and her target award under the Company’s 2021 long-term incentive program (“LTIP”) will be increased from 65% to 90% of her base salary. Effective as of October 1, 2021, Ms. Shaw will receive an LTIP award consisting of 373 target performance share units and 161 restricted stock units to reflect the increase in her 2021 base salary and LTIP target award. Additional details regarding the Company’s STIP and LTIP are provided under the “Short-Term Incentive Compensation” and “Long-Term Incentive Compensation” headings in the Compensation Discussion & Analysis section of Ameren’s definitive proxy statement for its 2021 annual meeting of shareholders filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 23, 2021.
