Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
(e) (1) On March 23, 2016, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Northrim BanCorp, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiary, Northrim Bank (the "Employer") deemed it appropriate that the Employer and Benjamin Craig, Executive Vice President and Chief Information Officer of the Bank, enter into an employment agreement effective as of April 15, 2016.
The employment agreement has an initial term ending on December 31, 2016, which term will be automatically extended for additional one-year terms unless at least 90 days prior to any January 1, either party gives notice of its intent not to extend such term or the employment agreement is terminated in accordance with its termination provisions.
Under the terms of the employment agreement, Mr. Craig will receive an annual base salary of $217,300, as adjusted from time to time, and an annual contribution to the Company’s supplemental executive retirement plan equal to five percent of his base salary. Mr. Craig is eligible to participate in the Company’s profit sharing plan, deferred compensation plan, and to receive awards under the Company’s stock incentive plan. The Employer will also provide Mr. Craig with reasonable health insurance, disability and other employment benefits and Mr. Craig is eligible to participate in all the Employer’s employee benefit programs on a basis at least as favorable as that accorded to any other officer of the Employer. The Employer will also reimburse Mr. Craig for reasonable expenses incurred in performing and promoting the business of the Employer.
In the event of a "Change of Control", termination without "Cause" or termination by Mr. Craig for "Good Reason" (as such terms are defined in the employment agreement) within 365 days of such Change in Control, Mr. Craig shall be paid (i) all base salary earned and all reimbursable expenses incurred through such termination date, (ii) an amount equal to Mr. Craig’s highest base salary earned over the prior three years, and (iii) an amount equal to Mr. Craig’s average profit sharing contribution paid over the prior three years. Additionally, the Employer will continue to provide Mr. Craig, at its expense, health and dental insurance benefits for a period of one year following termination of the employment agreement. If any “Change in Control” payments to which Mr. Craig is entitled pursuant to the employment agreement would otherwise constitute a “parachute payment” under Internal Revenue Code Section 280G, then pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement, such payments will be subject to reduction in an amount so that the present value of the total amount received by Mr. Craig will be 2.99 times Mr. Craig’s base amount (as defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 280G).
Mr. Craig is also subject to certain confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation and non-disparagement provisions pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement.
The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete copy of Mr. Craig’s employment agreement filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1.
