On November 25, 2016, The Neiman Marcus Group LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the registrant (“NMG”), and Neiman Marcus Group, Inc., the registrant’s parent (“Parent”), entered into a consulting agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) with Michael Fung, pursuant to which Mr. Fung will serve as Interim Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer for an initial term of 180 days, with automatic 30 day extensions.  The term of the consulting agreement will end if either party gives notice of non-extension or 30 days after the Company hires a permanent Chief Financial Officer.  Mr. Fung will be entitled to receive a monthly consulting fee of $60,000 per month during the term of the consulting agreement.  In addition, Mr. Fung is eligible to receive a fee premium, payable after the end of the consulting arrangement, in a target amount of $60,000.  The fee premium is payable for achieving certain benchmarks determined by the board of directors of Parent or a committee thereof.  If Mr. Fung’s consulting services are terminated by the Company for any reason other than for cause (as defined in the consulting agreement), death or disability (as defined in the consulting agreement) or by Mr. Fung due to material breach of the consulting agreement by NMG or Parent, Mr. Fung will receive the monthly consulting fees for the remainder of the initial 180-day term and any earned fee premium.

 

Following his start date, subject to approval of the Compensation Committee of Parent’s board of directors, Mr. Fung will receive an award of time-vested non-qualified stock options and performance-vested non-qualified stock options to purchase a total of 786 shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock of Parent (together, a “Common Stock Unit”) pursuant to Parent’s Management Equity Incentive Plan, with an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value of a Common Stock Unit on the date of grant.  Additionally, Mr. Fung is entitled to reimbursement of his reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with his temporary residence in Dallas, Texas, including round trip airfare for Mr. Fung to Dallas and rental of a furnished apartment (up to a maximum of $5,000 per month) and an automobile (up to a maximum of $1,500 per month).

 

The foregoing description of the Consulting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
