Item 5.02. Departure of Certain Officers; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On June 28, 2013, BNC Bancorp (the “Company”), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bank of North Carolina (the “Bank”), entered into employment agreements effective July 1, 2013 with two members of its senior management team: Richard D. Callicutt, II, President and Chief Executive Officer, and David B. Spencer, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (each an “Executive”).
Mr. Callicutt will receive a base salary under his Employment Agreement of no less than $475,000, which is subject to annual increases as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. Mr. Callicutt is also eligible to earn an annual bonus award based upon the achievement of performance objectives set by the Company’s Board of Directors or Compensation Committee, with a target annual bonus equal to 40% of his base salary.
Mr. Spencer will receive a base salary under his Employment Agreement of no less than $400,000, which is subject to annual increases as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. Mr. Spencer is also eligible to earn an annual bonus award based upon the achievement of performance objectives set by the Company’s Board of Directors or Compensation Committee, with a target annual bonus equal to 35% of his base salary.
Each of the Employment Agreements provides for a term of three years, beginning July 1, 2013, with automatic annual extensions on each annual anniversary date, unless the Company gives the Executive notice at least 90-days prior to the annual anniversary date that the employment period will not be extended. If the Company terminates the Executive’s employment for reasons other than cause, death or disability, or the Executive terminates employment for good reason, the Executive will generally be entitled to receive: (1) accrued but unpaid base salary and vacation pay through his termination date; (2) reimbursement of expenses incurred prior to his termination date; (3) any unpaid bonus amounts, if then determinable, for the preceding fiscal year; (4) a pro-rated bonus amount for any bonus earned in the year of termination; and (5) an amount equal to 1.5 times the sum of his (A) annual base salary and (B) target bonus. In the event that the Executive’s employment is terminated within two years following a change in control, the Executive will receive an amount equal to three times the sum of his (A) annual base salary and (B) target bonus.
Each Employment Agreement also: (1) contains a confidentiality provision; (2) contains non-competition and non-solicitation provisions for the 15-month period following the Executive’s termination; and (3) amends Section 7.14 of the Salary Continuation Agreement of the Executive, which deals with treatment of any payments under Section 4999 and Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code.
The foregoing summaries of the Employment Agreements of the Executives are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the respective Employment Agreement, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
