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

 

On June 28, 2010, the Board of Directors of Montpelier Re Holdings Ltd. (the “Company”) approved amendments to the service agreements of Christopher L. Harris, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President, and Thomas G.S. Busher, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, each of which becomes effective July 1, 2010.

 

The principal amendments to Mr. Harris’ service agreement provide for: (i) an increase in his annual salary from $675,000 to $900,000, effective on April 1, 2011, as well as the concurrent elimination of his existing Bermuda housing allowance of $144,000 annually; (ii) a two and one-half year extension of its term to December 31, 2013; and (iii) a mandatory reduction in certain amounts payable under his service agreement if, when combined with all other payments he might receive from the Company (or any successor or parent or subsidiary thereof), such aggregate payments are considered an “excess parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

The principal amendments to Mr. Busher’s service agreement provide for: (i) an increase in his annual salary from $650,000 to $775,000, effective on April 1, 2011, as well as the concurrent elimination of his existing Bermuda housing allowance of $144,000 annually; and (ii) a two and one-half year extension of its term to December 31, 2013.

 

The foregoing is qualified in its entirety by reference to the amendments to Mr. Harris’ service agreement, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and the amendments to Mr. Busher’s service agreement, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.
