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

 

On July 1, 2010, CIBER, Inc. (“CIBER”) announced that effective July 1, 2010, David Peterschmidt has been named president and chief executive officer and has also been appointed to serve as a Class III Director on the board of directors of CIBER.  He will not serve on any committees of the board of directors.  A copy of the press release announcing Mr. Peterschmidt’s appointment as president and chief executive officer is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report. Peter H. Cheesbrough, interim president and chief executive officer, will resume his prior position as executive vice president and chief financial officer, effective July 1, 2010, at his prior compensation as disclosed in CIBER’s definitive proxy statement filed April 23, 2010.

 

In connection with CIBER’s appointment of Mr. Peterschmidt as president and chief executive officer, CIBER and Mr. Peterschmidt entered into an employment agreement, dated as of July 1, 2010, which provides for the following:

 

(i)            an initial three-year term;

 

(ii)           a starting base salary of $600,000 annually;

 

(iii)          in the event that between 80% and 100% of the 2010 performance target is achieved, a bonus for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2010, that is equal to the percentage of the 2010 performance target achieved multiplied by the base salary, and pro rated based on the portion of the year that Mr. Peterschmidt is employed by CIBER, provided that such bonus shall not be less than 80% and not greater than 100% of the base salary;

 

(iv)          for all other fiscal years, a target bonus of 100% of base salary if the performance target for the respective fiscal year is achieved, which bonus may be greater or less than 100% of base salary based upon whether performance targets have been achieved or exceeded;

 

(v)           an inducement grant of 1,400,000 CIBER stock options (the “Inducement Grant”), which shall vest in four equal yearly installments on the anniversary of the grant (such grant as evidenced by the CIBER Non-Qualified Option Agreement between CIBER and Mr. Peterschmidt, which is attached as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference); and

 

(vi)          customary relocation expenses to move personal effects and an interim housing allowance of up to $6,000 per month starting July 1, 2010 and ending March 31, 2011, or such earlier date as Mr. Peterschmidt is no longer incurring interim housing expenses.

 

In the event of a change of control of CIBER (as defined in the agreement), in addition to already earned salary and earned but unpaid bonus for the prior year, Mr. Peterschmidt is entitled to receive certain benefits, subject to his executing a separation and release agreement. Such benefits include (i) a prorated bonus (provided that performance targets are met) for the portion

Upon either Mr. Peterschmidt’s termination by the Company without cause, or by Mr. Peterschmidt for good reason (each term as defined in the agreement), in addition to already earned salary and earned but unpaid bonus for the prior year, Mr. Peterschmidt is entitled to receive certain benefits, subject to his executing a separation and release agreement. Such benefits include (i) a prorated bonus (provided that performance targets are met) for the portion of the year in which the termination occurs, (ii) a severance payment equal to 1.5 times Mr. Peterschmidt’s then current base salary and annual bonus at target level in effect on the day of termination, (iii) vesting of all unvested equity awards proportionately through the date of termination (subject to achievement of performance criteria, if any), (iv) vesting of a certain portion of the Inducement Grant, based upon a formula and (v) health benefits for a period of 18 months following termination. Mr. Peterschmidt is also entitled to certain benefits upon termination of his employment as a result of death or disability.

 

Mr. Peterschmidt is subject to non-compete, non-solicitation of clients and no-hire obligations during his employment and for 18 months after termination.  In addition, Mr. Peterschmidt may not take any action in furtherance of a third party acquiring control of CIBER for the same period.
