Executive Severance Plan
The Compensation Committee (“Committee”) of the Board of Directors (“Board”) of TiVo Corporation (“TiVo” or the “Company”) approved an Executive Severance Plan (the “Plan”) for certain Company Executive Vice Presidents and Senior Vice Presidents as designated by the Committee, including the following named executive officers (as defined in Item 402(a)(3) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission): (i) Dustin Finer, Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative and Internal Operations Officer, (ii) Pamela Sergeeff, Executive Vice President and General Counsel and (iii) Pete Thompson, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. Each of such named executive officers is an Executive Vice President for purposes of the Plan benefits described below. A copy of the Plan is attached to this report as Exhibit 10.1.
Under the terms of the Plan, upon termination of employment by the Company for any reason other than cause or by the Plan participant with good reason (each, a “Termination Event”), each designated Executive Vice President is entitled to receive up to twelve (12) months of base salary (excluding bonus) and each designated Senior Vice President is entitled to receive up to six (6) months of base salary (excluding bonus), along with certain health and outplacement severance benefits, subject in each case to offset of benefits provided under any then-existing change in control severance agreements. If the Plan participant commences new employment within the time period in which benefits are payable under the Plan, the salary, health and outplacement severance benefits shall cease on the later of (i) the date on which 50% of the severance pay has been paid or (ii) the date on which the Plan participant commences new employment.
In addition to the Plan benefits, upon a Termination Event, (i) the vesting of non-performance-based equity awards held by the designated executive will be accelerated by twelve (12) months and (ii) performance-based equity awards held by the designated executive will vest, if the Termination Event occurs within the last twelve (12) months of a given performance-based award’s performance period, if and to the extent that the performance criteria are achieved for the entire performance period of such original award.
A Plan participant’s right to receive benefits under the Plan is conditioned, among other things, on the participant (i) timely executing an effective release of claims against the Company following the Termination Event, and (ii) agreeing not to solicit, for two years following the Termination Event, any employee of the Company to work for another business. No Plan participant is entitled to any payments from the Company under the Plan in the event his or her employment by the Company terminates as a result of death or disability.
