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

On May 3, 2016, Robert D. Evans notified the Company of his intent to retire from his position as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Mr. Evans’s retirement will be effective on the date that the Company appoints a new Chief Financial Officer (the “Effective Date”). The Company is working with an executive search firm to assist in the search for Mr. Evans’s successor. Following Mr. Evans’s retirement, Mr. Evans will remain available to provide transition and advisory services to the Company pursuant to the transition agreement described below from the Effective Date until the earlier of (i) September 30, 2016, (ii) the date that the Company’s Chief Executive Officer determines that transition services are no longer necessary and (iii) Mr. Evans’s death or permanent Disability (as defined in the Performance Food Group Company 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan) (such date, the “Termination Date”).

On May 3, 2016, the Company entered into a transition agreement with Mr. Evans (the “Transition Agreement”).

Pursuant to the Transition Agreement, Mr. Evans will continue to receive his current base salary and remain eligible to receive an annual bonus through the Termination Date. Following the Termination Date and for a period of one year, Mr. Evans will provide consulting services to the Company, for which the Company will pay Mr. Evans a consulting fee of $460,000.

Subject to Mr. Evans’ continued compliance with certain restrictive covenants and the execution and non-revocation of a release of claims in favor of the Company, Mr. Evans will be entitled to the following: (i) an amount equal to $525,000, payable over 12 months; (ii) an annual bonus for fiscal year 2016 (either full or pro-rated depending on whether the Termination Date occurs prior to or after the completion of fiscal year 2016) based on the Company’s achievement of performance targets, payable when such annual bonuses are paid to other Company executives; (iii) a pro-rated annual bonus for fiscal year 2017 based on the Company’s achievement of performance targets, payable when such annual bonuses are paid to other Company executives; (iv) payments for annual fees for participation in the Company’s executive health programs for two years; (v) all unvested options and shares of restricted stock granted pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated 2007 Management Option Plan (the “2007 Plan”) will remain outstanding and eligible to vest subject to the achievement of the “performance vesting” conditions described in the 2007 Plan; (vi) vesting of 25% of the options and restricted stock (time-based vesting award) granted pursuant to the Company’s 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), with the remaining 75% of such awards expiring as of the date of the Transition Agreement; and (vii) the target number of shares of restricted stock (performance-based vesting award) granted pursuant to the 2015 Plan will be reduced by 75% and expire as of the date of the Transition Agreement and up to 25% of the remaining target number of shares of restricted stock (performance-based vesting award) will remain eligible to vest based on the achievement of performance targets, as determined on June 30, 2018.

The Transition Agreement also contains customary restrictive covenants, including non-competition and non-solicitation covenants each with a one year duration following the Termination Date and an indefinite non-disparagement covenant.

The foregoing summary description of the terms of the Transition Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Transition Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.

The Company expects to incur a charge of approximately $1.1 million related to Mr. Evans’s departure through the period ending with the Termination Date. Additionally, the $460,000 of consulting costs will be recognized over the period of the consulting services.
