Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On August 2, 2005, Answerthink, Inc. (the “Company”) and John F. Brennan entered into a Second Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Employment Agreement dated March 23, 1999, between the Company and Mr. Brennan. The Amendment provides that Mr. Brennan will resign as the Company’s Executive Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer and serve instead as the Company’s Corporate Development Officer, rendering executive, policy and other management services to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The changes will be effective August 11, 2005. Mr. Brennan’s current annual base salary will not change and all restricted stock units previously granted by the Company to Mr. Brennan will fully vest on December 31, 2005 to the extent such restricted stock units are not vested prior to that date.

 

The Amendment may be terminated for any reason (a “Permitted Termination”) by the Company at any time, or by Mr. Brennan after October 31, 2005. Upon the Permitted Termination, Mr. Brennan will receive: (i) accrued but unpaid salary, bonus and benefits, plus an amount equal to his base salary for 12 months; (ii) vesting of his equity compensation awards, which will be restricted from sale for one year; and (iii) COBRA benefits through the earlier of the maximum term that such benefits are available pursuant to applicable law or until Mr. Brennan obtains benefits through subsequent employment.

 

In the event of a change in control while Mr. Brennan is still employed by the Company, Mr. Brennan’s stock options, shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units held as of the date of the change in control will become fully vested. In addition, all deferred and incentive compensation or bonus amounts awarded by the Company to Mr. Brennan and other contingent or deferred compensation awards or grants made by the Company to Mr. Brennan, or otherwise made in connection with Mr. Brennan’s employment under his employment agreement, will become fully vested. Payments due in connection with a change in control will be paid in a lump sum.

 

A copy of the Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
