On September 27, 2019, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) of Akamai Technologies, Inc. (“Akamai” or the “Company”) approved an amendment and restatement of the Akamai Technologies, Inc. Executive Severance Pay Plan (the “Executive Severance Plan”) to, among other things, replace references to stock options with references to equity awards (as no executive currently holds any outstanding stock options) and eliminate the requirement that an executive enter into a noncompetition agreement to be entitled to receive severance payment under the Executive Severance Plan. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Executive Severance Plan set forth in Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
On September 27, 2019, following approval by the Compensation Committee, the Company entered into an Addendum to the Transition Agreement dated February 25, 2019 between Akamai and James Benson, its former Chief Financial Officer (the “Addendum”). The Addendum (i) extends the term of the original agreement from September 30, 2019 to February 28, 2020; (ii) provides that Mr. Benson is eligible for a discretionary bonus of $40,000 at the conclusion of such term; and (iii) provides for the termination of unvested time-based restricted stock units issued by the Company that are held by Mr. Benson. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Addendum set forth in Exhibit 10.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
