Matt Cagwin

[REDACTED]

 

 

Dear Matt:

 

On behalf of Devin McGranahan, it is my pleasure to extend this offer of employment (“Offer”) with Western Union, LLC (the "Company"), an affiliate of The Western Union Company ("Western Union"). We are looking forward to you joining us as Head of Financial Planning and Analysis, reporting directly to the Chief Financial Officer of Western Union. After this 18-24 month assignment, you can reasonably expect to report directly to the CEO.

 

The work location of this position is Work From Home - USA GA ("Work Location"). If you accept this conditional offer, your anticipated start date will be July 18, 2022 (“Start Date”). As discussed, the expectation is that this position will be subject to re-location to Denver HQ by the end of December 2023. I will email you separately more information on the re-location assistance that will be provided.

 

Exempt Salary

 

Your gross annualized starting salary will be $425,000, payable in accordance with the Company's regular payroll practices.

 

Bonus

 

You will be eligible to participate in the Company's 2022 Performance Incentive Plan ("Incentive Plan"), with a target bonus of 50% of your annualized base salary, to be prorated based on your Start Date. Under the Incentive Plan, you may, but are not guaranteed to, receive an incentive bonus in an amount to be determined by the Company in its sole discretion, in addition to your base salary, if all plan criteria are satisfied, based upon the achievement of specified corporate and/or business unit (if applicable) financial measures and taking into account your individual performance. Eligibility for any such payments is conditioned on your executing an acknowledgement and acceptance of the terms and conditions applicable to your participation in the Incentive Plan. Participation in the Incentive Plan during any one year confers no rights upon you or any obligations on the Company to continue the Incentive Plan, or to make any payments of any kind in succeeding years, even if the repeated payments are in the same or similar amount as in the previous year. You will be provided detailed written information about the Incentive Plan, including the terms and conditions applicable to your participation.

 

Long-Term Incentives

 

Beginning with the February 2023 annual equity grant, you will be eligible for annual awards under Western Union’s 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“such Plan and any successor or replacement plan, the LTIP”) in such form(s) as are approved by the Compensation Committee (most recently, annual equity grants to senior executives consisted of time-vested restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units), with an aggregate target grant date value equal to 100% of your annualized base salary (as calculated by the Company).

 

All awards under the LTIP require approval from the Compensation Committee and the acceptance by you of the terms and conditions of each award. All your rights and obligations with respect to any LTIP awards granted

to you are subject to the terms and conditions of the LTIP as well as the terms and conditions of the applicable award agreements. In addition, LTIP awards require the acceptance by you of an agreement containing certain restrictive covenants such as non-solicitation, non-competition and non-disclosure commitments.
