(e) Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

 

Rohleder Offer Letter

 

On May 7, 2019, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement (the “Offer Letter”) with Stephen Rohleder, its Chief Executive Officer. Pursuant to the Offer Letter, Mr. Rohleder will serve as Chief Executive Officer at-will for an annual base salary of $500,000 and is eligible to receive an annual cash bonus equal to 100% of his annual base salary, subject to the achievement of individual and Company performance goals.

 

Pursuant to the Offer Letter, in the event that Mr. Rohleder’s employment is terminated by the Company without “cause” or Mr. Rohleder resigns for “good reason” (as such terms are defined in the Offer Letter), the Company shall (i) pay him an amount equal to the sum of his annual salary plus target cash bonus, in equal installments over the course of the 12 months after his employment is terminated, (ii) reimburse COBRA continuation payments until the earlier of one year from the termination date and the date of Mr. Rohleder’s eligibility for another employer’s health plan and (iii) provide vesting with respect to a pro-rated portion of any then unvested Additional Equity Award (as defined below) based on the number of days he was employed by the Company from the date of grant of the applicable Additional Equity Award through the date of termination (“Pro-Rata Additional Equity Award Vesting”). If Mr. Rohleder’s termination “without cause” or resignation for “good reason” occurs within one year of a change in control of the Company within the definition of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Company shall (i) pay him an amount equal to twice the sum of his annual salary plus target cash bonus, in a lump sum (subject to delay pursuant to Section 409A), (ii) reimburse COBRA continuation payments until the earlier of 18 months from the termination date and the date of Mr. Rohleder’s eligibility for another employer’s health plan and (iii) provide Pro-Rata Additional Equity Award Vesting.

 

Further, pursuant to the Offer Letter, Mr. Rohleder is required to enter into a form of Fair Competition Agreement (attached as an exhibit to the Offer Letter) with the Company (the “FCA”). Pursuant to the FCA, Mr. Rohleder will be required to provide the Company with up to three-months’ notice of his resignation, disclose to the Company any business opportunities presented to him, enter into confidentiality, non-disclosure and intellectual property provisions, and non-competition, non-solicitation of customers and employees, and non-disparagement restrictions.

 

 

 

 

Concurrent with entry into the Offer Letter, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) approved a grant to Mr. Rohleder of 550,000 performance-based restricted stock units (the “Initial Equity Award”). Subject to Mr. Rohleder’s continued employment (except as expressly provided in the Offer Letter), the Initial Equity Award will vest on the last day of any 120 trading-day period ending prior to the third anniversary of the grant date if, during such period, the average per share closing price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $20 per share (subject to adjustment for stock splits or similar non-recurring changes in capitalization, if applicable) (the “Stock Price Hurdle”), except if during calendar year 2021, the Russell 2000 Index falls at least 30% from its highest level during calendar year 2021 and as of December 31, 2021, the Russell 2000 Index is at least 20% below its highest level during calendar year 2021, then the Initial Equity Award will remain outstanding and be eligible to vest if the Stock Price Hurdle is achieved prior to the fourth anniversary of the data of grant. In the event of a change in control prior to the vesting or forfeiture of the Initial Equity Award, the Initial Equity Award will vest if and only if the per share price paid in the change in control equals or exceeds $20 per share, but if the per share price paid in a change in control equals or exceeds $18 per share but is less than $20 per share, the Initial Equity Award will be converted into a deferred cash retention award (the “Deferred Cash Award”), the value of which will be determined by multiplying the number of restricted stock units subject to the Initial Equity Award by the per share price paid in the change in control. The Deferred Cash Award will be payable to Mr. Rohleder in a lump sum on the second anniversary of the closing of the change in control if Mr. Rohleder is then employed by the Company or the surviving or acquiring entity, except if Mr. Rohleder’s employment with the Company (or any successor or surviving entity) is terminated without “cause” or Mr. Rohleder resigns for “good reason” (as such terms are defined in the Offer Letter) prior to the second anniversary of the closing date of the change in control, then the Deferred Cash Award will be paid to Mr. Rohleder in a lump sum within 30 days following the date of such termination, subject to Mr. Rohleder executing a release.

 

In addition, the Board approved a grant to Mr. Rohleder of up to 79,750 performance-based restricted stock units (each, an “Additional Equity Award”), which will vest on the later of December 31, 2019 and the date the Board or the Compensation Committee certifies the extent to which the performance goals based on certain annual financial and management objectives established by the Company have been achieved (such later date the “Vesting Date”), subject to Mr. Rohleder’s continued employment on the Vesting Date.

 

Under both the Initial Equity Award and Additional Equity Award, Mr. Rohleder will be restricted from selling, transferring or otherwise disposing of the shares delivered thereunder for a period of up to three years to further align Mr. Rohleder’s interests with the Company.

 

The foregoing description of the Offer Letter is not a complete description thereof and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the fully-executed Offer Letter, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
