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

 

On February 24, 2015, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of SFX Entertainment, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), approved a severance agreement (the “Severance Agreement”), effective January 1, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), with Mr. Joseph F. Rascoff, formerly Chairman of the Company’s Live Entertainment operations.  Following this separation, Mr. Rascoff continues to serve on the Board of Directors but is no longer an employee of the Company.

 

Pursuant to the Severance Agreement, Mr. Rascoff will receive a separation payment of $750,000 to be paid in equal installments over a period of 25 months. Further, all options previously granted to Mr. Rascoff that had not vested as of the Effective Date will be deemed vested and exercisable as of such date.

 

Further, under the terms of the Severance Agreement, as consideration for the provision of certain consulting services on behalf of the Company, Mr. Rascoff was granted an option to purchase 50,000 shares of our common stock (the “Option”) on February 24, 2015, at an exercise price of $3.70 per share (the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant). The Option will be neither effective nor exercisable until such time as a sufficient number of shares of our common stock become available for issuance under the Company’s 2013 Equity Compensation Plan, as amended, to cover the shares issuable upon exercise of the Option.
