Section 5 — Corporate Governance and Management
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
As previously disclosed, Mr. Thomas Lillelund ceased acting as Chief Executive Officer of Aspen’s reinsurance segment effective August 7, 2018. On August 29, 2018, Aspen Insurance UK Limited (“Aspen UK”) and Mr. Lillelund executed a letter, dated August 29, 2018 (the “Letter”), outlining the terms and conditions of Mr. Lillelund’s departure. Among other things, Aspen UK has agreed to release Mr. Lillelund early such that his employment with Aspen UK will cease on October 31, 2018 (the “Departure Date”). Aspen UK has also agreed that Mr. Lillelund may begin to work for a global P&C insurance company with effect from November 1, 2018.
With effect from the Departure Date, Mr. Lillelund will have no claim for any payment for salary or other benefits under (i) the Service Agreement, dated June 29, 2016, between Aspen UK and Mr. Lillelund, (ii) the Change in Control Agreement, dated June 29, 2016, between Aspen UK, Aspen Insurance Holdings Limited and Mr. Lillelund and (iii) an International Assignment Letter, dated June 29, 2016, between Aspen UK and Mr. Lillelund.
All Performance Shares and Restricted Share Units which were previously granted to Mr. Lillelund under the terms of the Aspen Insurance Holdings Limited 2013 Share Incentive Plan, as amended, and which have not already vested and been distributed to Mr. Lillelund by the Departure Date will lapse on the Departure Date and will, from such date, cease to be eligible for vesting. This forfeiture also applies to any Performance Shares which have already become “Eligible Shares” under the relevant long term incentive award agreement as at the Departure Date (meaning that the relevant financial performance criteria in relation to those Performance Shares have been tested but they remain subject to a requirement of continued employment until the relevant vesting date).
This summary is qualified in its entirety by the Letter which is attached hereto and filed as Exhibit 10.1.
