(c) On August 23, 2010, Lawrence D. Rodriguez was appointed as the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Central Pacific Financial Corp. (the “Company”) and Central Pacific Bank (“CPB”).
Mr. Rodriguez, age 65, was the managing partner of the Hawaii practice of Ernst & Young LLP until just prior to his retirement in 2007. Mr Rodriguez has been a financial consultant providing consulting services through his company, Lawrence D. Rodriguez LLC since that time. Beginning in January, 2010, Mr. Rodriguez has provided financial consulting services to the Company and his company was paid approximately $127,000 for such services in 2010. Since 2009, Mr. Rodriguez has served as the Chairman of the Board of Ho'okele Health Innovations LLC, a private company in which he is an investor and has served as a member of the Board of Directors of Sennet Capital LLC, a private merchant banking company.
On August 27, 2010, the Company and CPB entered into an agreement with Mr. Rodriguez setting forth the compensation of his at-will employment. The agreement provides that Mr. Rodriguez will receive a salary of $260,000 per annum and a grant of 75,000 Restricted Stock Units (the equivalent of 75,000 common shares) under the Company's 2004 Stock Compensation Plan. Mr. Rodriguez will also be entitled to standard employee benefits.
The Restricted Stock Units (the "RSUs") have been granted and will vest in full in the event Mr. Rodriguez continues to be employed through December 1, 2010. If Mr. Rodriguez’s employment is terminated other than for cause prior to December 1, 2010, then a prorated portion of the RSUs will vest. If Mr. Rodriguez is terminated with cause before December 1, 2010, the RSUs will be forfeited. Upon vesting, the Company will issue one share of common stock of the Company for each vested RSU, less the number of shares whose value is equal to the federal and state withholding taxes which the Company is required to pay to governmental authorities in cash with respect to such compensation.
