Item 5.02(e): Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On November 22, 2010, CBIZ, Inc., upon authorization by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, executed an amendment to the employment agreement between the Company and its Chief Financial Officer, Ware H. Grove. The terms and conditions of this amendment are set out in the Amended Employment Agreement (“Amendment”).
The Amendment maintains most of the same employment terms as the original Employment Agreement, dated December 12, 2000 (“Agreement”). Under the Agreement, if he were terminated for any reason other than for cause, Mr. Grove would have been entitled to a severance payment consisting of the continuation of his base salary for a period of twelve (12) months. In addition, if he chose to voluntarily terminate his employment following a change of control, Mr. Grove would have been entitled to a severance payment consisting of the continuation of his base salary for a period of twenty-four (24) months.
Under the Amendment, Mr. Grove is now entitled to a severance payment consisting of two times the sum of his current year base pay plus the average of his bonus payments for the prior three years, payable on a monthly pro-rata basis over the twenty-four months following his separation from service. This formula applies in separations from service that occur for any reason other than for cause and in the event of a voluntary termination of employment following a change of control. In addition, Mr. Grove is now entitled to continued health coverage for up to twenty-four months following his separation from service for any reason other than for cause, or if he voluntarily terminates his employment following a change of control. The Amendment also defers any termination payments that would be in excess of annual deductibility limits imposed by IRS Section 162(m), and includes additional changes related to IRC Section 409(A) compliance. A copy of the Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
Item 9.01(d). Exhibits
99.1 Amended and Restated Employment Agreement between Ware H. Grove and CBIZ, Inc., dated November 22, 2010.
