Item 5.01. |
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. |
On September 13, 2013, Liquidmetal Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into Change of Control Agreements with Ricardo A. Salas, the Company’s Executive Vice President, Tony Chung, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, and certain other executive officers who are not “named executive officers” of the Company for SEC reporting purposes. The Change of Control Agreements provide that if the executive officer’s employment with the Company is terminated without cause during the one-year period after a change of control of the Company, then the terminated officer will receive lump sum severance compensation in an amount equal to twelve months of his then-current base salary. For this purpose, “change of control” is defined, with certain exceptions, as a merger of the Company with a third-party, the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, or the acquisition by a single person or group of more than 50% of the combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding securities. “Cause” is defined in the Change of Control Agreements to include fraud, embezzlement, dishonesty, material harm to the Company, or an uncured failure to adequately perform job duties, among other things. Under the agreements, the executive officers will each also be entitled to the above-described severance compensation in the event he terminates his own employment within one year after a change of control because of a salary decrease or assignment to a lower-level position.
The foregoing does not purport to be a complete description of the Change of Control Agreements and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such document, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
