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

On November 29, 2018, Symantec Corporation (the “Company”) announced that Michael Fey, the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer, has resigned from his positions with the Company, effective immediately (the “Separation Date”). Greg Clark, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, has been appointed to the additional position of President effective as of the Separation Date.

The Company has entered into a Separation Agreement and General Release of All Claims (the “Agreement”) with Mr. Fey dated November 28, 2018. Under the terms of the Agreement, Mr. Fey agreed (i) to forego severance benefits or payments, rights to any unvested equity awards, and any cash bonus payments, (ii) that during a restricted period of 12 months following the Separation Date he will not, exercise, sell or transfer any shares subject to currently vested or exercisable Company stock options previously awarded, and (iii) to non-competition and non-solicitation covenants for a period of 12 months following the Separation Date. The Agreement also contains a general release and waiver of claims by Mr. Fey against the Company. In exchange, the Company agreed to extend the post-termination exercise period of Mr. Fey’s vested stock options until the earlier of (a) 15 months following the Separation Date and (b) the Final Exercise Date of such stock options.

The foregoing description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Separation Agreement and Release of All Claims, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.01 to this report.
