(e) Executive Compensation

 

On January 17, 2019, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Flex Ltd. adopted the Flex Ltd. Executive Severance Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan covers senior level employees of the Company, including the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and other named executive officers, but not including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Under the Plan, in the event of a termination of employment by the Company without “cause” or by a participant for “good reason” (each such term as defined in the Plan), the participant will receive the following benefits, subject to the participant entering into and complying with a transition and release agreement in a form provided by the Company (“Transition Agreement”):

 

·                  continuation of base salary and benefits coverage for 12 months during the transition period provided in the Transition Agreement (12 months or longer);

 

·                  continued vesting of restricted stock units, performance-based restricted stock units, long-term free cash flow awards and deferred compensation awards during the transition period;

 

·                  payment of the quarterly bonus for any full quarter completed prior to the commencement of the transition period, and a pro-rated portion of the participant’s annual bonus based on the quarters for which the participant received a quarterly bonus, calculated and determined per plan rules and Company policies; and

 

·                  following the transition period, subject to the participant signing an additional release of claims and reaffirming compliance of the participant’s obligations under the Transition Agreement, accelerated vesting of restricted stock units and deferred compensation awards that would have vested during the one-year period following the transition period.

 

During the transition period, the participant will be required to discharge his or her transition duties and comply with other terms and conditions to be set forth in the Transition Agreement, including customary non-competition, non-solicitation, non-disclosure, non-disparagement and cooperation provisions. Any violation of such obligations may result in cessation of benefits and clawback rights of the Company.

 

A copy of the Plan will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019.
