Item 5.02   Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
(e) On September 17, 2007, TRM Corporation (the “Company”) and Daniel E. O’Brien entered into a Severance Agreement and Release of Claims (“Agreement”). As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 3, 2007, Mr. O’Brien resigned as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer effective on August 1, 2007.
     The Agreement provides that the Company will pay Mr. O’Brien (i) $170,000 as a severance payment, (ii) $20,000 as a previously awarded but unpaid “stay bonus”, and (iii) $17,039 as payment for accrued but unused paid-time-off, plus his salary for August 2007, to the extent it was not previously paid. Additionally, the Company may engage Mr. O’Brien for consulting services for a period of six months from the termination of his employment, at a rate of $200 per hour pursuant to a separate consulting agreement to be agreed upon by the parties. Should the Company require Mr. O’Brien’s consulting services for any reason, including litigation, after the consulting term has expired, the Company will compensate Mr. O’Brien at the rate of $200 per hour plus expenses.
     Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company took all necessary corporate action to cause the vesting of all unvested restricted stock or stock options and extended the expiration date of the stock options to five years from the termination of employment. Additionally, the Company will pay the fee for one year of outplacement services provided that such fee shall not exceed $14,000. The Agreement also provides that if Mr. O’Brien elects to continue health insurance coverage in accordance with the requirements of COBRA, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s group health insurance plan, the Company shall pay the Mr. O’Brien’s share of health insurance premium for family coverage for one year from the termination of his employment.
     The Agreement also contains non-competition and non-solicitation covenants that extend for twelve months following termination of his employment as well as confidentiality and non-disparagement covenants. Mr. O’Brien has provided the Company with a general release of any and all claims which he has or may have against the Company.
