Item 5. Other Information
Disclosure Pursuant to Section 13(r) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
On March 2, 2021, the U.S. government designated the Russian Federal Security Service (the “FSB”) as a blocked party under Executive Order 13382; however, on the same day, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control issued General License No. 1B (the “OFAC General License”), which generally authorizes U.S. companies to engage in certain transactions and dealings with the FSB necessary and ordinarily incident to requesting or obtaining licenses, permits, certifications or notifications issued or registered by the FSB for the importation, distribution or use of information technology products in the Russian Federation.
In the normal course of business, as permitted and authorized by the OFAC General License, the Company or its subsidiaries file notifications with, or apply for import licenses and permits from, the FSB as required pursuant to Russian encryption product import controls for the purpose of enabling the Company or its subsidiaries or their channel partners to import and distribute certain products in the Russian Federation. There are no gross revenues or net profits directly associated with these activities, and the Company and its subsidiaries do not distribute or sell products or provide services to the FSB. The Company expects that we or our subsidiaries will continue to file notifications with and apply for import licenses and permits from the FSB to qualify our products for importation and distribution in the Russian Federation if and as permitted by applicable U.S. law, including the OFAC General License.
Entry into Separation Agreement
On February 1, 2022, we entered into a Separation and General Release Agreement with Robert K. Eulau, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (the “Separation Agreement”). Mr. Eulau has agreed to continue in an advisory capacity through May 1, 2022 to assist with the transition of his duties and responsibilities. Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, Mr. Eulau will receive the Tier I severance benefits to which he is entitled pursuant to the terms and conditions of our Amended and Restated Executive Severance Plan, the material terms of which have been previously disclosed and a copy previously filed with the SEC (the “Separation Benefits”). Mr. Eulau’s receipt of the Separation Benefits is subject to his non-revocation of a general release of claims included in the Separation Agreement and compliance with the terms of the Separation Agreement, including certain non-solicitation and cooperation provisions.
