(e) Compensatory Arrangements
On February 26, 2014, the Board of Directors of Viad Corp (the "Company") adopted amendments (the "Amendments") to the Executive Severance Plan (Tier I) of the Company (the "Plan") that eliminate the Plan’s excise tax gross-up provision and the "modified single-trigger" provision, which gave executive officers of the Company the right to receive benefits if they voluntarily terminate employment during the 30-day period following the first anniversary of a change in control. The elimination of the excise tax gross-up provision and the modified single-trigger provision is effective as of the three-year sunset date of February 26, 2017. The Plan is a grandfathered plan applicable to executive officers of the Company hired before January 1, 2013. The Amendments make the grandfathered Plan consistent with the applicable provisions of the Executive Severance Plan (Tier I – 2013) of the Company, which does not contain the modified single-trigger or excise tax gross-up provisions and applies to executive officers hired on January 1, 2013 or thereafter.
The above description of the Amendments is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Amendments, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10, and which is incorporated herein in its entirety by this reference.
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
