Adoption of Executive Change in Control Severance Plan
Effective on December 3, 2024, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Committee”) approved the adoption of an Executive Change in Control Severance Plan (the “CIC Severance Plan”) under which the Company’s executive officers (including its named executive officers) and certain additional key employees designated by the Committee (collectively, the “Participants”) will be eligible to receive severance payments and benefits in the event of a qualifying termination of their employment in connection with a change in control of the Company.
Under the CIC Severance Plan, in the event of a termination of a Participant’s employment by the Company for any reason other than “cause”, death or “disability”, or by the Participant with “good reason” (each as defined in the CIC Severance Plan), in each case during the period beginning three months prior to and ending 12 months following a “change in control” (as defined in the CIC Severance Plan), the Participant will be eligible to receive the following severance payments and benefits: (i) a lump sum cash severance payment in an amount equal to (x) the Participant’s severance multiplier designated in their individual participation agreement multiplied by (y) the sum of the Participant’s then-current (A) base salary plus (B) target annual bonus; (ii) accelerated vesting of all equity awards that are outstanding and unvested as of the termination date (with any awards subject to performance-based vesting conditions deemed achieved at target levels); (iii) if the Participant timely elects healthcare continuation coverage under COBRA, a lump sum payment in an amount equal to (x) the Participant’s COBRA period designated in their individual participation agreement multiplied by (y) the monthly Company cost of the Participant’s COBRA premiums; and (iv) payment of any earned but unpaid bonus in respect of the most recent bonus performance period ending prior to the termination date. The severance multipliers and COBRA periods for the Company’s current named executive officers eligible to participate in the CIC Severance Plan are as follows: (i) Bill Brennan: 1.5 times, 18 months; (ii) Daniel Fleming: 1.0 times, 12 months; (iii) Yat Tung (Job) Lam: 1.0 times, 12 months; (iv) Chi Fung (Lawrence) Cheng: 1.0 times, 12 months; and (v) James Laufman: 1.0 times, 12 months.
The severance payments and benefits described above under the CIC Severance Plan are subject to the Participant’s execution and non-revocation of a general waiver and release of claims and continued compliance with the terms of any applicable restrictive covenant obligations to the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates.
