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

Effective March 25, 2024, Dycom Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Heather M. Floyd as the Company’s Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer. Prior to joining the Company, Ms. Floyd, 45, was employed as Vice President, Finance & Controller for Chromalloy Corporation, a global provider of maintenance, manufacturing and repair services for gas turbine engines. Ms. Floyd also served as the Chief Financial Officer of Basic Fun, Inc. from 2020 until 2021 and held multiple senior finance positions with KLX Energy Services Holdings, Inc. (formerly KLX, Inc. and B/E Aerospace, Inc.) from 2010 until 2021, including as the Vice President, Finance, Corporate Controller & Principal Accounting Officer from December 2014 to September 2020. Ms. Floyd was also a member of the Board of Directors of Molekule Group, Inc. (formerly AeroClean Technologies, LLC) from September 2021 until February 5, 2024. Ms. Floyd holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting and a Bachelor of Business Administration in International Business and Trade from Florida Atlantic University. Ms. Floyd is also a Certified Public Accountant (CPA).

On March 25, 2024, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Ms. Floyd (the “Employment Agreement”) whereby Ms. Floyd will serve as Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer of the Company. The Employment Agreement has an initial term of three years, with automatic one-year extensions thereafter, unless notice of non-renewal is given by either party.

 

The Employment Agreement provides for a cash sign-on bonus of $50,000, payable on the next regularly scheduled payroll date after March 25, 2024.

 

During the term of the Employment Agreement, the Company will provide Ms. Floyd with the following compensation and benefits: (i) an annual base salary of $375,000; (ii) an annual bonus in an amount determined in the sole discretion of the Company, with a target bonus opportunity of 50 % of her base salary; (iii) eligibility to participate in long-term incentive plans of the Company, with a potential target award opportunity of 80% of her base salary; (iv) eligibility to participate in all employee benefit plans or programs of the Company and (v) expense reimbursement for out of pocket expenses as she may incur from time to time for and on behalf of the furtherance of the Company’s business.

 

In the event that the Company terminates Ms. Floyd’s employment without cause Ms. Floyd will be entitled to a cash severance payment equal to her then annual base salary (the “Without Cause Severance Benefits”). The Without Cause Severance Benefits will be paid over the twelve-month period immediately following Ms. Floyd’s termination of employment without cause and in such intervals as she would have received payment of her base salary if she had remained employed with the Company. Ms. Floyd will continue to be eligible to participate in the Company’s health and welfare plans for a period of up to 12 months following her termination of employment by the Company without cause (or a cash payment in lieu of if participation is not permitted), with such participation becoming secondary if Ms. Floyd is eligible to participate in the employee benefit plans of a new employer. If the Company terminates Ms. Floyd’s employment for cause, she will not be entitled to any severance payments other than accrued and vested benefits as required by law.

 

Payment of severance under the Employment Agreement is contingent upon Ms. Floyd’s execution and delivery of a general waiver and release of claims against the Company. Ms. Floyd is subject to a non-competition and non-solicitation covenants that apply for one-year following her separation from service.

 

The above summary of the Employment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Employment Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated into this Item 5.02 by reference.

 

Ms. Floyd does not have any family relationship with any of the Company’s executive officers or directors and is not a party to any transaction with the Company that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
