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

As previously announced, Kelly Williams was appointed President & Chief Operating Officer of Mobile Mini, Inc. (the “Company”) on October 17, 2018. On January 15, 2019, the Company entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Mr. Williams to document this appointment. A copy of the employment agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Mr. Williams already had an employment agreement so below is an overview of the material changes from his prior agreement:

 

   

Title changed to President & Chief Operating Officer

 

   

Base salary increased to $558,000

 

   

Annual equity grant for 2019 increased to 150% of Employee’s base salary

Below is a fuller description of the amended and restated agreement.

This employment agreement provides for Mr. Williams’ continued employment and appointment as President & Chief Operating Officer for a term commencing on October 17, 2018 and expiring on December 31, 2019. Notwithstanding its fixed term, the employment agreement automatically renews for successive one-year periods beginning on December 31, 2019 and on each December 31st thereafter, unless the Company or Mr. Williams gives 90-day prior written notice of an intention to terminate employment on the last day of the then-current employment period.

Under the employment agreement, Mr. Williams will be paid a base annual salary of $558,000. The base salary will be reviewed annually. Mr. Williams is eligible for an incentive bonus equal to 75% of his base salary, subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s incentive bonus plan and as the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors may determine. Mr. Williams is eligible for all equity-based employee benefit plans maintained by the Company, including, but not limited to, the Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended. Subject to the discretion of the Compensation Committee and the Company’s and Mr. Williams’s performance during relevant periods, it is anticipated that his annual level of participation in the Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, will be 150% of his base salary. He will also receive certain other benefits, including participation in all employee benefit plans, vacation and sick leave.

The Company may terminate the employment agreement for Cause (as defined in the employment agreement), including upon (i) commission of an act of fraud or intentional misrepresentation or an act of embezzlement, misappropriation or conversion of assets or opportunities of the Company, (ii) material dishonesty or willful misconduct in the performance of duties, (iii) willful violation of any law, rule or regulation in connection with the performance of duties, or (iv) material breach of the employment agreement by Mr. Williams. The Company may also terminate the employment agreement upon Mr. Williams’s disability or by written notice.

Mr. Williams may terminate the employment agreement for Good Reason (as defined in the employment agreement), including upon (i) assignment to Mr. Williams of material duties that are materially inconsistent with those originally contemplated by the employment agreement, (ii) a reduction in base salary (excluding “across the board” reductions for all senior executives), (iii) any material breach of the employment agreement by the Company, (iv) purported termination for Cause by the Company where such Cause does not exist, or (v) in the case of assignment of the employment agreement by the Company, failure of the Company to obtain from such assign an agreement to assume and agree to perform under the employment agreement. Either party may terminate the employment agreement by giving prior verbal or written notice to the other.

The employment agreement may terminate upon a Change in Control (as defined in the employment agreement) of the Company, including (i) an acquisition by any person of more than 35% of the voting shares of the Company, (ii) a change in more than 1/3 of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company, or (iii) the consummation of a merger, consolidation, reorganization, liquidation or dissolution, or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.


Upon termination by the Company for Cause, death or disability, or if the Company fails to renew his employment term, or upon voluntary termination by Mr. Williams other than for Good Reason, Mr. Williams or his estate is entitled to any Accrued Compensation (as defined in the employment agreement) and, in the case of death or disability, a prorated amount of his cash bonus (determined by the average cash bonus amount paid in the preceding two years). Upon (i) termination by Mr. Williams for Good Reason, (ii) termination by the Company without Cause, or (iii) termination within one year of a Change in Control of the Company, Mr. Williams is entitled to any Accrued Compensation (as defined in the employment agreement) plus a lump-sum severance payment of an amount equal to (a) in the case of Good Reason or without Cause, one times the sum of his then-current annual base salary and the Payment Amount (defined in the employment agreement as 75% of his annual base salary in effect in the year in which termination occurs), and (b) in the case of a Change in Control and termination within one year thereafter by the Company other than for Cause, death or disability or by Mr. Williams for Good Reason, two times the sum of his then-current annual base salary and the Payment Amount. In addition, the Company will continue to pay certain health insurance amounts for Mr. Williams and his dependents for a period of up to 24 months. Upon a Change in Control or a termination of employment (not including termination by the Company for Cause or voluntary termination by Mr. Williams for other than Good Reason), his equity-based compensation awards shall accelerate and vest (other than performance-based equity which would remain subject to the Company achieving the relevant performance metrics).

The employment agreement also provides that Mr. Williams will not solicit employees or customers of the Company during his employment or within two years of the termination of his employment.

There are no other arrangements or understandings pursuant to which Mr. Williams was selected for his position. There are no family relationships among any of our directors, executive officers, and Mr. Williams. There are no related party transactions between us and Mr. Williams reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
