Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On June 30, 2017, Kimball Electronics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into new employment agreements (the “Agreements”) with our executive officers, including each of our Named Executive Officers (the “NEO’s”). The Agreements supersede all prior employment agreements entered into with our executive officers. The Agreements primarily change the timing of rights and payments related to termination by the Company without cause or by the executive with good reason under certain performance related incentive compensation plans to allow better alignment of the payout with the terms of those programs. All other benefits and obligations under the Agreements are substantially the same as those under the prior agreements. The Agreements impose non-compete, non-disclosure, and non-solicitation obligations on the executive officers and also provide for the rights and payment of compensation upon a change in control or in the event of separation of employment under certain circumstances.
This foregoing description of the Agreements is only a summary of the material terms of these Agreements signed by our NEO’s. For complete text of these Agreements, see the form agreement filed with this Current Report Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1, which is incorporated herein by reference.
