Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On October 4, 2018, Raymond James Financial, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Robert M. Dutkowsky, age 63, as a new non-executive director, with a term commencing on the date of appointment.
In addition to being appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), Mr. Dutkowsky has been named to the Board’s Audit and Risk Committee.
Mr. Dutkowsky will participate in the standard fee arrangements for non-executive directors, which are described in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders under the caption “Director Compensation,” filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 8, 2018. Consistent with such arrangements, effective upon his appointment to the Board, Mr. Dutkowsky has been granted a prorated award of restricted stock units with a value of $62,500, which units will vest in full on the first anniversary of the grant date. Mr. Dutkowsky will also enter into the Company’s standard indemnification agreement which the Company concludes with all directors, pursuant to which we will indemnify him for certain actions he takes in his capacity as a director. A copy of the form of indemnification agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.18 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 24, 2004, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 8, 2004, and is incorporated herein by reference.
Raymond James Bank, N.A., a subsidiary of the Company (“RJ Bank”), has extended credit in the form of a term loan to Tech Data Corporation (“TECD”), a publicly traded company of which Mr. Dutkowsky is the executive chairman. Such loan was made in the ordinary course of RJ Bank’s business on substantially the same terms as those prevailing at the time for comparable loans with persons not related to RJ Bank and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features. Other than in his capacity as executive chairman of TECD, Mr. Dutkowsky has no direct or indirect interest in this transaction.
Mr. Dutkowsky and his immediate family members maintain investment accounts with the Company in respect of which they paid fees to the Company in the aggregate amount of approximately $196,000 during the period since October 1, 2017.
A copy of the press release issued by the Company in connection with the above is attached to this Current Report as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
