Item 5.02. | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. |
On December 29, 2014, Daniel B. Hurwitz and DDR Corp. (the Company) entered into a mutual separation agreement (the Separation Agreement) pursuant to which Mr. Hurwitz agreed to resign from his positions as Chief Executive Officer and a Director of the Company, effective as of the end of the day on December 31, 2014. Mr. Hurwitz is expected to remain a non-officer employee of the Company until February 14, 2015 (the Separation Date). Upon the effectiveness of Mr. Hurwitzs resignation as Chief Executive Officer, David J. Oakes, the Companys President and Chief Financial Officer, became the Companys principal executive officer.
Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, Mr. Hurwitz will generally receive only those payments and benefits to which he would have been contractually entitled for his departure without cause under the terms of his Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, dated as of July 29, 2009, as amended (the Employment Agreement), consistent with the Companys prior disclosure in its proxy statement for its 2014 annual meeting of shareholders. In addition to his bonus for 2014, Mr. Hurwitz will be entitled to receive cash and non-cash stock compensation of approximately $9.8 million in the aggregate, which will result in a charge to be taken in the fourth quarter of 2014 of approximately $4.5 million, of which $3.1 million relates to cash compensation and $1.4 million (non-cash) relates to Mr. Hurwitzs equity awards. Mr. Hurwitzs equity awards will continue to be governed by the terms of the plans covering such awards.
The foregoing description of the Separation Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Separation Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
