Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers: Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.


On November 5, 2013, Euramax Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) and Euramax International, Inc. (together with Holdings, the “Company”) entered into a Transition Services Agreement with the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Mitchell Lewis (the “Agreement”). The Agreement provides that on or about November 8, 2013, the Company would publicly announce that Mr. Lewis would be stepping down as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective immediately. Following the announcement, Mr. Lewis will provide transition services to the Company until a date between January 1, 2014 and March 1, 2014, which termination date shall be determined by the Board of Directors of Holdings. During the transition period, Mr. Lewis will continue to be compensated at his current base salary. Upon the termination of the transition period, Mr. Lewis’ employment with the Company will terminate. Unless he voluntarily resigns or engages in certain conduct that would constitute “cause” under the terms of his Employment Agreement with the Company dated June 1, 2011 (the “Employment Agreement”), Mr. Lewis will be entitled to severance payments and benefits in accordance with the terms of the Employment Agreement, subject to his execution of a release of claims. Mr. Lewis will be subject to covenants prohibiting him from competing with the Company or soliciting employees or customers of the Company, in each case, for the 24-month period following the date of termination.

The foregoing description of the Agreement is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference.
