(“Rex Operating,” and together with Rex Energy, the “Company”) entered into an amendment to the Employment Agreement dated December 13, 2013 with Thomas C. Stabley, President and Chief Executive Officer of Rex Energy and Rex Operating.
The amendment extends the term of the Employment Agreement for three years; as amended, the Employment Agreement will terminate on December 31, 2019, subject to automatic annual renewal thereafter unless either the Company or Mr. Stabley provides written notice of non-renewal at least 90 days prior to the then-applicable termination date. If a “change in control” (as defined in the Employment Agreement) of Rex Energy occurs, the Employment Agreement will be extended automatically for an additional two years.
Other than the extension of the term, the Employment Agreement is unchanged and remains in full force and effect. The material terms of the Employment Agreement were described in Item 5.02 of Form 8-K filed by Rex Energy on December 17, 2013, and the Employment Agreement was attached to that Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1.
The foregoing summary of the amendment to Mr. Stabley’s Employment Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
