Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On March 29, 2018, Aspen Insurance Holdings Limited (“Aspen” or the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that Brian Boornazian, previously the Chairman of Aspen Re and Chief Executive Officer of Aspen Re America, decided to retire from Aspen and will cease to perform duties for the Company effective April 30, 2018 (the “Separation Date”).
Under the terms of the Separation Agreement, dated March 28, 2018 (the “Agreement”), between Mr. Boornazian and Aspen Insurance U.S. Services Inc. (“Aspen U.S. Services”), Mr. Boornazian will receive the sum of $1,379,240, less applicable tax withholdings, which represents 100% of Mr. Boornazian’s highest annual base salary plus the average annual bonus that was paid to Mr. Boornazian for the years 2014, 2015 and 2016. Mr. Boornazian is also entitled to receive a lump sum payment in the amount of 31,703 unvested LTIP awards held by Mr. Boornazian as of the Separation Date multiplied by the Company’s average share price for the thirty days immediately preceding the Separation Date, less applicable tax withholdings. In addition, the Company will deliver 2,966 “banked” but unvested performance shares previously issued to Mr. Boornazian.
The payments summarized above are subject to Mr. Boornazian’s compliance with certain confidentiality, non-solicit and non-compete restrictions and other conditions.
This summary is qualified in its entirety by the Agreement which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
