On January 28, 2020, ExlService Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) announced in a press release that the Company’s Board of Directors had appointed Maurizio Nicolelli, 51, as the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Mr. Niolelli is expected to join effective February 3, 2020. Effective upon Mr. Nicolelli’s appointment, Pavan Bagai has resigned his role as interim Chief Financial Officer and will continue in his previous role as President and Chief Operating Officer.

 

Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Nicolelli served as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Casa Systems (NASDAQ: CASA) beginning in 2019. He previously served 23 years at FactSet Research Systems (NYSE: FDS), where he was Senior Vice President, Principal and Chief Financial Officer from 2009 to 2018, and had global responsibility for finance, accounting, tax, treasury and investor relations. He also led FDS’s M&A efforts overseeing more than 20 acquisitions.

 

In connection with his appointment, Mr. Nicolelli and the Company entered into an employment agreement, under which Mr. Nicolelli’s annual base salary will be $475,000 and his discretionary annual target cash bonus will be 75% of his base salary. Mr. Nicolelli will also receive a joining bonus of $225,000, payable in two installments, and an initial grant of restricted stock units of the Company’s common stock with a fair market value of $425,000, which will vest in four equal, annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date. In addition, Mr. Nicolelli will become eligible to receive annual equity awards, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors in its sole discretion, subject to performance and other conditions. Mr. Nicolelli will be entitled to participate in the benefit plans and programs commensurate with his position that are provided by the Company to its senior executives generally, which are more fully described in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2019 annual meeting of stockholders.
