On August 6, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors appointed W. Nicholas Howley as Chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr. Howley has served as Executive Chairman since April 26, 2018. In his role as Chairman of the Board, Mr. Howley will continue to primarily focus his efforts on matters relating to significant mergers and acquisitions, capital allocation and deployment, major strategic initiatives and issues, and leadership of the Board of Directors.
Also on August 6, 2021, the Company and Mr. Howley entered into a Stock Option Agreement (the “Option Agreement”). Pursuant to the Option Agreement, (i) Mr. Howley’s Fifth Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with the Company dated April 26, 2018 was terminated, other than the non-competition and non-solicitation covenants contained therein which continue until September 30, 2023 and the non-disclosure obligations contained therein which continue indefinitely, and (ii) the Company issued to Mr. Howley a one-time grant of 105,000 non-qualified stock options (the “Options”) with an exercise price of $629.11, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on August 6, 2021. The Options will be eligible to vest as follows: up to 40% of the Options will be eligible to vest at the end of fiscal year 2022, up to 40% of the Options will be eligible to vest at the end of fiscal year 2023, and up to 20% of the Options will be eligible to vest at the end of fiscal year 2024. In each case, vesting will be subject to the satisfaction of criteria related to the Company’s performance to be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors consistent with the criteria applicable to options granted to Company senior management in fiscal 2022. The Option Agreement provides that upon termination of Mr. Howley as Chairman by reason of death, disability, termination without cause, resignation from the Board or failure of Mr. Howley to be re-elected to the Board, 40% of the remaining unvested options may continue to vest in accordance with their terms for a termination on or after October 1, 2022 and prior to October 1, 2023, 80% of the remaining options may continue to vest in accordance with their terms for a termination on or after October 1, 2023 and prior to October 1, 2024, and 100% of the remaining options, if any, may continue to vest in accordance with their terms for a termination on or after October 1, 2024. In each case, the continued vesting is subject to the applicable performance criteria. The Option will be the sole compensation for Mr. Howley’s continued service on the Board and he will not receive any Board fees.
Pursuant to the Option Agreement, the Company is required to indemnify Mr. Howley to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law, and Mr. Howley is entitled to the protection of the Company’s directors and officers insurance policies, in each case in connection with his service as an officer, director or employee of the Company. Mr. Howley is required to hold stock or vested in-the-money options with a value of at least $6,000,000 and at least $3,000,000 of that must be held in stock.
The foregoing description of the terms of the Option Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Option Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1.
