Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On July 31, 2013, Tessera Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") entered into the Company's standard form severance agreement with John Allen, the Company's Acting Chief Financial Officer. See the Company's Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 16, 2013 related to the Company's 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders for a description of the Company's standard form of severance agreement. Mr. Allen's severance agreement will terminate if Mr. Allen returns to his former position as the Company's Senior Vice President, Corporate Controller, and returning to such position would not constitute "Good Reason" under the severance agreement for Mr. Allen to resign and become entitled to severance.
