Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

  (e) On March 14, 2010, the Board of Directors of NCR Corporation (“NCR” or the “Company”) appointed Robert Fishman (“Mr. Fishman”) to serve as the Company’s Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, effective immediately. Mr. Fishman has served as Interim Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer since October 2009, and previously served as Vice President and Corporate Controller and in various other key financial roles for NCR since joining the Company in June 1993.

In connection with Mr. Fishman’s appointment, the Compensation and Human Resource Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”), approved certain changes to Mr. Fishman’s compensation as outlined below.

 

   

Base Salary - Annual base salary will be $400,000 effective March 14, 2010.

 

   

Short-Term Incentive Award - Annual cash target bonus under the Company’s Management Incentive Plan (“MIP”), which was approved by stockholders in 2006, will be 100% of base salary based on core financial objectives, plus 10% of base salary based on customer success objectives. The actual cash payout relating to the core financial objectives can range between 0% and 200% of the target bonus, determined by the Committee based on NCR’s achievement of such objectives, further adjusted by each executive officer’s individual contribution towards achieving these results.

 

   

Long-Term Incentive Award - An equity award to recognize Mr. Fishman’s promotion comprised of performance-based restricted stock units of NCR Common Stock with an award value equal to $600,000, where 100% of the award will be earned, and will subsequently vest on the third anniversary of the grant date subject to Mr. Fishman’s continued employment with the Company, if NCR achieves a Non-pension Operating Income (NPOI) performance goal established by the Committee for the 2010 fiscal year. Acceptance of this award is subject to an award agreement that includes these terms, as well as the other applicable standard terms and conditions included in the form of 2010 performance-based restricted stock unit agreement approved by the Committee.

 

   

Standard Executive Benefits - Mr. Fishman is eligible to participate in NCR’s executive benefit programs currently available to the executive officers and as established by the Committee from time to time. These benefits include the Executive Medical Exam Program, which provides up to $5,000 per year for a comprehensive annual physical examination, the Executive Financial Planning Program, which provides an annual payment of $12,000, less applicable taxes, to be used for individual financial planning needs, and he is eligible for benefits under NCR’s Executive Relocation Policy. Also, as Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Fishman will continue to participate in the NCR Change in Control Severance Plan with a Tier II benefit level. Lastly, as an executive officer Mr. Fishman is subject to NCR’s executive stock ownership requirement and is also subject to the NCR Executive Compensation Recovery Policy.

Mr. Fishman entered into a letter agreement with the Company that incorporates the compensation terms above. In addition, the letter agreement contains customary non-competition, non-solicitation/non-hire and confidentiality provisions.

A copy of the Company’s press release announcing the appointment of Mr. Fishman is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and hereby incorporated by reference.
