Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On January 12, 2015, Jamba, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Settlement Agreement with JCP Investment Partnership LP and certain of its affiliates (“JCP”) and Engaged Capital, LLC and certain of its affiliates (“Engaged”, and together with JCP, the “Investors”) (the “Settlement Agreement”).

 

Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed to appoint immediately each of James C. Pappas and Glenn W. Welling to the Company's Board of Directors (the “Board”), with terms expiring at the Company’s 2015 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2015 Annual Meeting”). The Company agreed to appoint, concurrent with their appointment to the Board, Mr. Pappas as a member of both the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Audit Committee of the Board, and Mr. Welling as a member of the Compensation and Executive Development Committee of the Board. The Company further agreed to take all necessary actions to nominate each of Mr. Pappas and Mr. Welling for election as an incumbent director at the 2015 Annual Meeting for a term expiring at the Company's 2016 annual meeting of stockholders and to cause one current member of the Board to no longer serve on the Board after the 2015 Annual Meeting by not nominating such individual for election as an incumbent director at the 2015 Annual Meeting.

 

JCP agreed to withdraw its nomination of candidates to stand for election at the 2015 Annual Meeting and agreed to certain standstill provisions through the date that is 45 days prior to the expiration of the Company’s advance notice period for the nomination of directors at the Company’s 2016 annual meeting of stockholders. In addition, the Investors agreed not to bring any other business or proposals before or at the 2015 Annual Meeting and are required to vote all of their shares in favor of the election of directors nominated by the Board, and otherwise in accordance with the Board’s recommendation, including in favor of all other matters recommended for stockholder approval by the Board; provided, in the event that Institutional Shareholders Services (“ISS”) recommends otherwise with respect to any proposals (other than the election of directors), each of the Investors shall be permitted to vote in accordance with the ISS recommendation.

 

The above description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Settlement Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein. On January 13, 2015, the Company issued a press release announcing the entering into of the Settlement Agreement, a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
