Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On December 7, 2015, PDI, Inc. (the “Company”), in connection with cost-cutting measures being implemented across the Company, entered into an Amendment Agreement (the “Amendment”) with Nancy S. Lurker, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. On December 7, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) also formally appointed Ms. Lurker as President of the Company. Ms. Lurker, age 58, has served as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Board since 2008. Ms. Lurker serves at the discretion of the Board. There are no family relationships between Ms. Lurker and any director or executive officer of the Company, and she has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
The Amendment modifies two agreements by and between the Company and Ms. Lurker that govern the terms of Ms. Lurker’s employment with the Company: the Employment Separation Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”), dated November 12, 2008, and the PDI, Inc. Term Sheet – New Hire Chief Executive Officer (the “Term Sheet”), dated March 2011. The Amendment reduces Ms. Lurker’s annual base salary to $300,000, effective December 1, 2015, but maintains references to her previous annual base salary of $566,500 for purposes of calculating her bonus and severance benefits under the Employment Agreement and Term Sheet.
The foregoing description of the Amendment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
