Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On May 4, 2021, the board of directors (the “Board”) of Target Hospitality Corp. (the “Company”) approved the promotion of J. Travis Kelley from Senior Vice President – Operations to Executive Vice President – Operations (“EVP”). As EVP, Mr. Kelley will continue to report directly to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, will act as the Company’s principal operating officer and will accordingly lead all operations including construction and catering/food services. In connection with such promotion, Mr. Kelley entered into an employment agreement with the Company, dated May 4, 2021(the “Kelley Agreement”), as approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board on May 4, 2021.

The Kelley Agreement provides for an initial employment term of 36 months, with automatic successive one year extensions after the end of the initial term, unless either party provides a non-renewal notice to the other party at least 120 days before the expiration of the initial term or the renewal term, as applicable. Mr. Kelley’s agreement provides for an annual base salary of $250,000, which he may elect to receive in whole in the form of restricted stock units. Mr. Kelley’s agreement provides for an annual cash performance bonus target of 65% of annual base salary and a long term incentive annual equity award with a target grant value of $250,000. Mr. Kelley’s agreement also includes a 12 month non-competition and non-solicitation provision.

If Mr. Kelley’s employment is terminated other than for cause or good reason, he will be entitled to 12 months base salary plus a pro-rata bonus for the year of termination, based on actual performance plus accrued and unpaid benefits and health insurance continuation for the severance period. In the event of a change in control, if Mr. Kelley is terminated other than for cause or with good reason within 12 months of a change in control, he will be entitled to 100% of his base salary and his target annual bonus, as well as a lump sum payment of the costs that would be incurred by him for continued health insurance coverage during the severance period, and vesting of any unvested time-based equity awards.

The foregoing description of the Kelley Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the employment agreement with Mr. Kelley, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
