Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On September 10, 2015, Blucora, Inc. ("Blucora") entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) with its wholly owned subsidiary, Monoprice, Inc. (“Monoprice”) and Bernard Luthi, the President of Monoprice. The parties entered into the Employment Agreement in order to align the terms of Mr. Luthi's employment with those of other Blucora executive officers. Specifically, the Employment Agreement provides for accelerated vesting of Mr. Luthi's equity awards in the event of a merger or consolidation of Monoprice with or into any other company, entity or person, or a sale or disposition by Blucora in one transaction or a series of related transactions of all or substantially all of Monoprice's assets or outstanding equity interests to another company, entity or person, other than a transaction with a subsidiary of Blucora or another corporation or other entity that is or becomes controlled by Blucora as a result of the transaction. Mr. Luthi's base salary, target bonus, and the other terms of his employment are the same as those set forth in his original employment agreement effective as of July 14, 2014. The above description is only a summary of the material terms of the Employment Agreement, does not purport to be a complete description of the Employment Agreement, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Employment Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
