Item 5.02(e).  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On November 11, 2014, the Compensation Committee of Trans World Corporation’s (“TWC” or the “Company”) Board of Directors approved an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement dated November 18, 2008 (“Employment Agreement”) for Mr. Rami Ramadan, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer (“Mr. Ramadan”).

 

The Amendment provides that if, within 120 days prior to, or twenty-four months after a Change of Control (as defined in the Employment Agreement), (i) Mr. Ramadan is terminated by the Company other than for cause (and not due to his death or disability), or (ii) he provides the Company with written notice of his Voluntary Termination for Good Reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement), or (iii) he is in the employ of the Company on the closing date of a Change in Control of the Company, then the Company will pay to him:  (A) an amount equal to two times his Base Salary (as defined in the Employment Agreement) as of the date of termination; and, (B) any accrued but unpaid (1) base salary; (2) sick pay; (3) vacation pay; and (4) health insurance benefits as described in the Employment Agreement for the period ending on the earlier of: (x) the date Mr. Ramadan obtains subsequent employment where medical insurance coverage is available to him, or (y) two years after the date of termination or Change in Control, as applicable. If the above benefits are paid to him as a result of (iii) above, they cannot be paid to him again as a result of either (i) or (ii), above, for the same Change in Control event.

 

The Amendment also includes a description of what actions TWC and Mr. Ramadan will take in the event that the aggregate payment or benefits to be paid to him as described above are deemed by the Internal Revenue Service to be “excess parachute payments” under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

Other changes to Section 7 of the Employment Agreement were merely to renumber the subsections therein to be consistent.

 

A copy of the Amendment is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.20.
