Item 5. Other Information
(a)Severance and Non-Competition Agreement
On December 11, 2024, the Company adopted the Severance and Non-Competition Plan (the “Severance Plan”) that defines each participant’s entitlements upon an Involuntary Termination (as defined in the Severance Plan). Under the Severance Plan, if a participant experiences an Involuntary Termination the participant would receive a lump sum cash payment equal to the product of the participant’s annual base salary and target bonus for the year in which such Involuntary Termination occurs, and the participant’s severance multiple. In addition, the participant would receive a pro rata bonus based on the number of days worked for the year of termination based on the actual bonus they would have received if they had been employed through the end of the year. The participant’s severance multiple is determined by their level of participation, with Level 1 being 2.0, Level 2 generally being 1.25, and Level 3 being 1.0. Participants are also entitled to continued participation in group health plans for a period equal to the product of one year and the participant’s severance multiple, up to a maximum of 18 months. Additionally, participants are eligible for up to $15,000 in outplacement assistance benefits, which must be used by the end of the second calendar year following the year of such Involuntary Termination. The participants are subject to standard confidentiality undertakings and agree to several restrictive covenants under the Severance Plan. Pursuant to the Severance Plan, the participants each agree to a non-competition covenant that generally limits their ability to compete with the Company in any countries in which it conducts business. The participants also agree to non-solicitation and non-disparagement covenants. These limitations continue during the term of employment and for a duration equal to the product of one year and the participant’s severance multiple following termination, regardless of the cause of the termination. For purposes of the “Level 2” severance multiple, Mr. Austin’s severance multiple is 1.5 pursuant to the terms of his offer letter.
The foregoing description of the Severance Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Severance Plan which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and is incorporated by reference herein.
