On March 8, 2024, Thryv Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) and Gordon Henry, Chief Strategy Officer and executive vice president of the Company, mutually agreed that Mr. Henry would leave the Company effective March 22, 2024.
.
In connection with his separation, the Company and Mr. Henry entered into a separation agreement and release (the “Separation Agreement”) attached hereto
as Exhibit 10.1, pursuant to which Mr. Henry will receive the severance payments and benefits otherwise payable to him under the Company’s Executive Vice President Severance Program, which is comprised of (a) cash severance of $1,083,750, which is
equal to 78 weeks of severance pay based on his current weekly salary plus one and a half times his short-term incentive bonus at target, (b) payment of a prorated annual short-term incentive bonus for the current fiscal year, based on actual
company performance, (c) basic life insurance coverage paid by the Company for 18 months, and (d) outplacement benefits for up to one year. The Separation Agreement contains confidentiality, non-disparagement, and both employee and customer
non-solicitation covenants, as well as other customary terms and conditions, including a release by Mr. Henry of any claims against the Company.
Mr. Henry’s departure will constitute a “Termination without Cause” under the terms of the outstanding restricted stock units and performance stock units
granted to Mr. Henry under the Company’s 2020 Incentive Award Plan, which will entitle Mr. Henry to a prorated portion of the unvested restricted stock units that would otherwise have vested on the next applicable vesting date, and a prorated
portion of the unvested performance stock units will remain eligible to vest based on actual company performance.
