Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
As announced earlier, Owen Sullivan has resigned from his role of Executive Vice President, President – Specialty Brands, effective April 1, 2013. On March 29, 2013, the Company and Mr. Sullivan entered into a transition agreement.
Under the agreement, Mr. Sullivan terminates his position as EVP, President – Specialty Brands on March 31, 2013, but will remain employed as a project employee until June 30, 2013 to assist with the integration of Experis, Right and certain other global sales activities. During that period, his salary is reduced to the rate of $25,000 per month and he is not entitled to earn any bonus. In connection with his departure at the end of June 2013, he will be entitled to receive the payments and benefits owed to him under the previously existing severance agreement with the Company. He also will be entitled to receive any payments or benefits to which he is entitled under other Company compensatory plans.
Among other such rights, Mr. Sullivan has an accrued benefit under the Company’s frozen Performance Based Deferred Compensation Plan, that is payable to him upon his termination of employment if such termination qualifies as a retirement or early retirement under the Plan. The Executive Compensation and Human Resources Committee has the discretion to designate any termination of employment as an early retirement. In addition, Mr. Sullivan also has vested stock option awards that were granted to him under the Company’s equity incentive plans which will expire 18 months after the date of his termination. If Mr. Sullivan was entitled to early retirement treatment, as determined by the Committee, he would have 3 years to exercise his vested stock options, but his unvested stock options would not accelerate. The transition agreement provides that the CEO will recommend that the Committee approve Mr. Sullivan’s termination as early retirement so that he would receive his accrued benefit under the Performance Based Deferred Compensation Plan and have the longer 3-year period to exercise his vested options following his termination.
The foregoing is a summary of the transition agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the separation agreement that is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this current report on Form 8-K.
