Item 5.02 | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. |
On December 4, 2018, following the approval of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the Compensation Committee), we entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (the Amended Employment Agreement) with Vaseem Mahboob, our Chief Financial Officer (Executive). The Amended Employment Agreement amends and restates in their entirety the terms of the Employment Agreement, dated as of October 15, 2015, entered into by and between us and Executive (the Original Agreement).
The principal changes to the terms of Executives employment arrangement as set forth in the Amended Employment Agreement, as compared to the terms of the Original Agreement, are as follows:
| Executives base salary has been increased from $350,000 to $420,000 commencing October 6, 2018; |
| Executive will be entitled to participate in any cash incentive compensation plan approved by the Compensation Committee with a target bonus award equal to 55% of base salary; |
| Executive will be entitled to receive restricted stock units (RSUs), which will have a grant date fair market value of $200,000 and will vest as to 100% of the underlying shares of common stock on the third anniversary of the grant date, subject to Executives continued employment with the Company, provided that the vesting of the RSUs shall be subject to acceleration based on the achievement of specified Company and/or individual performance criteria to be approved by the Compensation Committee; |
| Executive will be entitled to receive RSUs, which will have a grant date fair market value of $150,000 and will vest in two equal annual installments on each anniversary of the grant date, subject to Executives continued employment with the Company; and |
| In the event of Executives Involuntary Termination prior to a Change in Control (each as defined in the Amended Employment Agreement): (1) Executive will be entitled to receive cash severance payments in an amount equal to 12 months of base salary (as compared to six months of base salary in the Original Agreement), and (2) all outstanding equity awards granted to Executive under our equity incentive plans that have time-based vesting requirements will become fully vested as to all underlying shares of common stock. |
The foregoing description of certain terms of the Amended Employment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended Employment Agreement, a copy of which will be attached as an exhibit to our next periodic report.
