Arrangements with Mr. Shulman

On July 10, 2018, Mr. Shulman, the Company and the Company’s affiliate, OneMain General Services Corporation (“OMGS”), entered into an employment agreement memorializing the terms of Mr. Shulman’s employment as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “Employment Agreement”).

The Employment Agreement provides that Mr. Shulman will receive an annual base salary of $800,000 and will be eligible for an annual target bonus of $5,500,000, payable in cash, performance stock units and restricted stock units, in each case subject to certain performance goals to be established by the Compensation Committee of the Board.  The cash and restricted stock units portions of the 2018 target bonus will be $3,666,667 prorated to take into account the period from the Start Date through the end of such fiscal year, and will also include an additional amount equal to two-thirds of Mr. Shulman’s target bonus at his prior employer, prorated to take into account the period from January 1, 2018 to the Start Date.  The performance stock units, which will be granted annually, are subject to three-year performance vesting conditions to be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board.  The performance stock unit portion of the annual bonus will be granted annually beginning in 2019 and no later than March 31 of each year. With respect to the grant of performance stock units in 2019, such amount shall be equal to $1,833,333 plus (1) a pro rata portion of such amount related to the period in 2018 from the Start Date through the end of such year, and (2) a pro rata portion of one-third of Mr. Shulman’s target bonus at his prior employer from January 1, 2018 through the Start Date.

In consideration of the commencement of Mr. Shulman’s employment with the Company and OMGS, and in part to compensate Mr. Shulman for equity awards forfeited at his prior employer, subject to the approval of the Compensation Committee, Mr. Shulman will also receive a one-time equity grant of restricted stock units with an aggregate value of $3,000,000, which will vest as follows: 50% on December 31, 2018; 25% on December 31, 2019; and 25% on December 31, 2020.  If Mr. Shulman’s employment is terminated by the Company for cause or Mr. Shulman resigns without good reason on or after December 31, 2018, but on or before December 31, 2019, Mr. Shulman will be required to pay the Company the fair market value (as of the termination date) of the number of shares he received (after tax withholding) in connection with the portion of the grant that vests on December 31, 2018.  Finally, on July 12, 2018, the Compensation Committee approved a one-time grant to Mr. Shulman  of cash-settled options with respect to 650,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (in three tranches of 300,000, 225,000 and 125,000 shares) (subject to certain vesting conditions relating to the trading price of the Company’s common stock and the portion of the Company’s common stock available for trading, as well as certain other terms and conditions).

Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, the Company or one of its affiliates will reimburse Mr. Shulman for his reasonable attorney fees incurred in connection with the negotiation of the Employment Agreement and all related agreements.


The Employment Agreement provides that Mr. Shulman will receive certain payments and benefits in the event of a termination of his employment under specific circumstances.  If Mr. Shulman’s employment is terminated by the Company other than for cause (not including a termination of employment due to death or disability) or he resigns for good reason, then he would be entitled to (1) a severance payment equal to $2,633,333, payable in equal installments over a twenty-four (24) month period in accordance with the Company’s payroll (or, if such termination occurs within the 24-month period following a change in control, a single lump sum); (2) any earned but unpaid annual bonus for the calendar year immediately preceding the termination; (3) an amount equal to two-thirds (2/3) of the average annual bonus earned in respect of the three (3) years completed prior to the year of termination (or, if Mr. Shulman has been employed for less than three years as of such termination, the number of years completed prior to the year of termination; provided, however that if the year of termination is 2018 or 2019, the amount shall be equal to two-thirds of the target amount of his annual bonus), pro-rated based on the number of days in which Mr. Shulman was employed during such year paid at the same time such bonuses are normally paid in accordance with the normal practices of the Company with regard to paying bonuses to similarly situated executives subject to certain adjustments; and (4) a lump sum payment equal to twelve (12) months of COBRA.
