Resignation of Chief Financial Officer

 

On June 11, 2015, Brandon O’Brien tendered his resignation as Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) of ZAGG Inc (the “Company”). His resignation is not the result of any disagreement with the Company on matters relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. Under the terms of a Separation and Release Agreement entered into by the Company and Mr. O’Brien in connection with his departure, the Company agreed, among other things, to (a) pay Mr. O’Brien separation pay in the amount of $200,000 in twelve (12) equal semi-monthly installments of $16,666.67, less applicable withholding, commencing on the Company’s first regular payday following the effective date of the Separation Agreement, (b) deliver free and clear title to that certain 2007 Fleetwood Fiesta LX motorhome owned by the Company in lieu of Mr. O’Brien’s 2015 Q2 incentive bonus, (c) make a one-time payment in the amount of $10,000 to a scholarship fund of Mr. O’Brien’s choosing within twenty (20) days of the effective date of the Separation Agreement, and (d) allow 15,206 time-based restricted stock units previously granted to Mr. O’Brien to vest on September 21, 2015 rather being forfeited upon the separation. In addition, under the Separation Agreement, if Mr. O’Brien properly and timely elects to continue the medical and dental insurance coverage for him and his family under the Company’s group medical and dental plans (collectively, “Continuation Coverage”) pursuant the COBRA, the Company will pay that portion of the premium for such Continuation Coverage that equals the portion of the premium that the Company paid for the medical and dental insurance coverage for Mr. O’Brien while he was employed by the Company, until December 31, 2015. The foregoing obligations of the Company are subject to Mr. O’Brien’s fulfillment of his promises, covenants, agreements, waivers and releases contained in the Separation Agreement, including without limitation, his obligation to provide certain consulting services to the Company through December 31, 2015.

On a go forward basis, each calendar year, the Company’s Compensation Committee will determine whether to provide Performance Compensation, the metrics which must be achieved for Mr. Holiday to receive such Performance Compensation (the “Performance Targets”) and the amount of any cash bonus and/or equity award that Mr. Holiday will be eligible to receive in connection with the achievement or partial achievement of any such Performance Targets.
