ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
Kelyn Brannon resigned her position as chief financial officer and secretary, with her last day being August 10, 2020. Effective August 11, 2020, James (Jay) A. Powers was appointed as the Company’s chief financial officer and secretary. Ms. Brannon will be available through December 31, 2020 to assist Mr. Powers with the transition of her duties and responsibilities.
Mr. Powers, age 58, has over 25 years of increasing levels of financial and accounting leadership experience, with over seven years as chief financial officer. Since June 2019, Mr. Powers has been employed as the chief financial officer of Roadwire, Inc. Prior to that, he owned his own business, Powering Financial Performance LLC, serving in interim chief financial officer roles for a number of businesses. He has also served as chief financial officer for Active Power, Inc, now known as P10 Holdings, Inc from May 2013 to December 2018. During the last two years, there have been no transactions or proposed transactions by the Company in which Mr. Powers has had or is to have a direct or indirect material interest, and there are no family relationships between Mr. Powers and any of the Company’s other executive officers or directors.
We have agreed to pay Mr. Powers an initial annual base salary of $260,000 for his services, which will be increased to $315,000 when the Company determines to reinstate its executive officers’ full salaries, which were reduced as a cost savings measure in connection with the Covid-19 pandemic. In addition, in 2020, Mr. Powers will be eligible for a cash bonus based on the Company’s profitability and other determining factors. The target amount of his cash bonus is 50% of his annual base salary, which will be pro-rated from his start date of August 10, 2020. We also granted Mr. Powers 10,000 restricted stock units (RSUs) and options to purchase 75,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on August 10, 2020, the date of the grant. Such RSUs will vest as follows: 1/3 on the first anniversary date of the grant date and the remaining 2/3rds will vest over the following 2 year period in substantially equal quarterly installments. Such options will vest as follows: 1/3 on the first anniversary of the grant date and the remaining 2/3rds will vest over the following 2 year period in substantially equal monthly installments. The RSUs and options will be granted under, and be subject to the terms of, our 2018 Incentive Award Plan. In addition, we have agreed that if we terminate Mr. Powers for any reason other than gross misconduct, he will receive severance pay equal to three (3) months’ of his then current base salary, plus the employer’s portion of the health care premium for continuation coverage under COBRA, also for a period of three months, provided that he has executed a general release of claims.
Mr. Powers is expected to enter into our standard form of indemnification agreement and to be a participant in our Executive Change in Control Severance Plan. The form of indemnification agreement and our Executive Change in Control Severance Plan have been filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 21, 2017, and are incorporated herein in their entirety by reference.
In connection with her resignation and the transition of her duties and responsibilities to Mr. Powers, the Company has offered Ms. Brannon severance to include: (a) $131,968.36 of severance pay, and (b) the acceleration of the vesting of 30,011 stock options and 22,499 restricted stock units granted to Ms. Brannon during her employment with the Company. The Company’s offer of severance is subject to customary conditions, including the execution of a general release of claims. Pursuant to applicable law, Ms. Brannon has a period of twenty-one days to review our offer of severance.
