On November 1, 2013, Teleflex Incorporated (the "Company" or "Teleflex") announced that Laurence G. Miller, Executive Vice President, Chief Administrative Officer, General Counsel and Secretary of Teleflex, has notified the Company that he plans to retire on May 2, 2014. Mr. Miller will step down from his current role effective immediately and no longer hold an executive officer position and remain an employee of the Company while he transitions his responsibilities to other members of senior corporate management. In connection with Mr. Miller’s agreement to remain in a transitional role with the Company and in consideration of his contributions to the Company over the past nine years, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors determined to accelerate the vesting of Mr. Miller’s outstanding equity awards. This acceleration will result in the vesting of an aggregate of 15,560 shares of restricted stock and 77,993 stock options previously granted to Mr. Miller in 2011, 2012 and 2013. The Company has also agreed to continue making bi-weekly payments to Mr. Miller through May 2, 2014 at a rate equal to his current base salary.
