On June 4, 2018, PRA Group, Inc. (the “Company”) and Tikendra Patel, Chief Executive Officer, PRA Group Europe of the Company, mutually agreed that Mr. Patel’s employment with the Company will cease effective November 30, 2018 (the “Separation Date”). In connection with Mr. Patel’s separation from the Company, the Company and Mr. Patel entered into a Settlement Agreement dated June 4, 2018 (the “Settlement Agreement”) that, except as otherwise provided in the Settlement Agreement, supersedes the terms of the Employment Agreement between the Company and Mr. Patel dated February 19, 2014 (the “Employment Agreement”).
Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, Mr. Patel ceased serving as CEO of PRA Group Europe effective June 4, 2018, but will continue to receive his current salary and benefits through the Separation Date. In lieu of the notice required under Mr. Patel’s Employment Agreement and any compensation, including equity or non-equity incentive compensation, the Company will pay Mr. Patel approximately $420,403 in one installment on or shortly after the Separation Date as a separation payment (the “Separation Payment”). The amount of the Separation Payment has been converted to U.S. dollars from British pounds using a June 4, 2018 conversion rate of $1.00 = £1.33495.
