Item 2.02.    Results of Operation and Financial Condition.
In a press release dated May 5, 2016, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and the text of which is incorporated by reference herein, Post Holdings, Inc. (“Post” or the “Company”) announced results for its second quarter ended March 31, 2016.
In the press release, the Company makes reference to certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net earnings available to common shareholders. Management believes the use of such non-GAAP financial measures provides increased transparency and assists investors in understanding the underlying operating performance of the Company and its segments and in the analysis of ongoing operating trends.  These measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies. For additional information, see the non-GAAP reconciliation tables furnished with this Form 8-K in Exhibit 99.1. Any non-GAAP measures should not be considered as a substitute for, and should only be read in conjunction with, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
The information contained in Item 2.02 and the Exhibit attached hereto shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
(e)    Material Compensatory Plan, Contract or Arrangement
On May 2, 2016, the Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Post Holdings, Inc. Executive Severance Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides benefits to the Company’s senior executive officers in the event of an involuntary termination by the Company without “cause” or a termination of employment by the executive for “good reason.”
The Amendment addresses how equity awards made under the Post Holdings, Inc. 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan and the Post Holdings, Inc. 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan (together, the “Equity Plans”) will vest for executives covered under the Plan who are involuntarily terminated. In the event that an executive covered under the Plan has an equity award made under the Equity Plans with a time-based vesting schedule on other than a ratable basis, or that is ratable in whole or in part but where the vesting schedule does not provide for any vesting of the equity award on or before the first anniversary of the date of grant of the equity award, and that executive’s employment is involuntarily terminated before the equity award is fully vested and is otherwise eligible for benefits under the Plan, then the equity award will be vested as if there were a three-year ratable vesting schedule where vesting occurs on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant of the equity award, but only to the extent that the equity award had not already vested at a greater percentage, or under the terms of the applicable Equity Plan would not vest at a greater percentage upon the executive’s involuntary termination.
The foregoing description of the Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Form 8-K filed on August 5, 2015 and incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
