On April 25, 2018, at the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2018 Annual Meeting”) of TCF, stockholders approved an amended and restated TCF Financial 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”) to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance under the Omnibus Plan by 4 million shares. The increase in shares under the Omnibus Plan was previously approved by the Board of Directors of TCF in January 2018 subject to stockholder approval.
A more detailed description of the Amended and Restated TCF Financial 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan can be found in the 2018 Proxy Statement. A copy of the Amended and Restated TCF Financial 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.

Additionally, the term of the Directors Stock Grant Program was extended from April 25, 2022 to April 25, 2028.

Craig R. Dahl Employment Agreement

On April 25, 2018, TCF entered into an Employment Agreement with Craig R. Dahl, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (the “Employment Agreement”). The Employment Agreement supersedes Mr. Dahl’s current employment agreement with TCF and will continue through December 31, 2020; provided that if a Change in Control takes place during the term of the Employment Agreement, the Employment Agreement will terminate on the later of December 31, 2020 or twenty-four months after the date of the Change in Control. Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Mr. Dahl is entitled to receive an annual salary of at least $927,000 and severance benefits as set forth below.
 
Upon a termination by TCF without Cause or by Mr. Dahl for Good Reason, Mr. Dahl would be entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to two and one-half times his base salary unless the termination took place on or after the date which is six months prior to a Change in Control, in which case Mr. Dahl would be entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to two and one-half times the sum of his base salary and annual bonus (which for purposes of this formula shall be equal to 100% of Mr. Dahl’s base salary). In addition, if Mr. Dahl’s employment is terminated by TCF without Cause or by Mr. Dahl for Good Reason and such termination occurs after the end of the Company’s fiscal year but prior to the payment of any annual cash incentive applicable to such fiscal year, TCF shall pay Mr. Dahl the annual incentive earned under such incentive program when such amounts are paid to other participants in the program.

At Mr. Dahl’s election, TCF will pay the monthly premiums for COBRA coverage for up to 12 months following a termination by the Company without Cause or by Mr. Dahl for Good Reason. “Cause,” “Good Reason,” and “Change in Control” have the meanings provided in the Employment Agreement. The foregoing description of the agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Employment Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3 and is incorporated by reference herein.
