Item 5.02Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

As previously reported, Destination Group XL, Inc. (the “Company”) and its Chief Executive Officer, Mr. David A. Levin, entered into a Transition Agreement, dated as of March 20, 2018 and amended on June 25, 2018, that addresses Mr. Levin’s future retirement and related successor issues (the “Transition Agreement”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Transition Agreement, Mr. Levin will continue as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer until December 31, 2018 or a successor is identified, if earlier, at which time Mr. Levin may resign for good reason pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement.  However, if a successor is not found by December 31, 2018, Mr. Levin will remain employed through December 31, 2019 for reasonable transition duties or other consulting activities or projects.  The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, taking into account Mr. Levin’s willingness to remain with the Company after December 31, 2018 as described above, wanted to ensure in the Transition Agreement that Mr. Levin would receive compensation for serving through December 31, 2019 that would be roughly equivalent to the amount he otherwise would have received under his employment agreement if he resigned for good reason.  

On July 31, 2018, the Company and Mr. Levin entered into the Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to Transition Agreement to modify the amount Mr. Levin would be entitled to receive if he remains employed through December 31, 2019.  Specifically, Section 1(e) of the Transition Agreement originally provided for a guaranteed payout at target of Mr. Levin’s AIP Bonus and LTIP award for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2020, if he remained employed through December 31, 2019.  In order to be consistent with the Company’s pay for performance practice, the Second Amendment modifies Section 1(e) such that if Mr. Levin remains employed through December 31, 2019, the determination of any payout under the AIP Bonus and LTIP award for the fiscal year ended February 1, 2020, if any, will be based on actual achievement of performance metrics.

The foregoing description of the Second Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Second Amendment, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by this reference.
