As previously announced on January 12, 2015, Robert E. Wilson is stepping down as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of The Providence Service Corporation (“Providence”). In connection therewith, Providence and Mr. Wilson have entered into an Employment and Separation Agreement (“Separation Agreement”), dated February 2, 2015, which provides for the termination of Mr. Wilson’s employment with Providence effective March 20, 2015, or on such earlier date as the Company requests (the “Resignation Effective Date”). Under the Separation Agreement, Mr. Wilson is entitled to the following: (i) his base salary through the Resignation Effective Date, as provided in his Employment Agreement, dated September 13, 2013 (the “Employment Agreement”); (ii) subject to Mr. Wilson’s execution of a release agreement, an amount based on the annual performance cash bonus award relating to the performance of Providence during 2015, pro-rated for the number of days during the fiscal year prior to the Resignation Effective Date, which amount will be calculated based on the same criteria and paid at the same time as payments are made in respect to similar awards to which other executives of the Company are entitled; (iii) reimbursement for any reasonable expenses incurred prior to the Registration Effective Date and (iv) the benefits to which Mr. Wilson was entitled during the term of the Employment Agreement. Mr. Wilson will also receive certain other benefits as set forth in the Separation Agreement. These payments satisfy the requirements of Mr. Wilson’s Employment Agreement with Providence.
