On August 19, 2011, CECO Environmental Corp. (the “Company”) and Dennis W. Blazer, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Vice President—Finance and Administration, entered into a Transition Agreement (the “Agreement”) that supports the Company’s succession planning process. Under the Agreement, Mr. Blazer’s employment with the Company will terminate on January 31, 2012, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the Transition Agreement. Mr. Blazer may terminate the Agreement earlier upon 30 days’ prior written notice if a new Chief Financial Officer has not started employment, or 2 weeks notice if a new Chief Financial Officer has started employment, to the Company and the Company may terminate the Agreement earlier upon cause. Upon termination, unless terminated for cause, Mr. Blazer will be entitled to seven months base salary payments, plus reimbursement of the premiums of his medical and dental insurance at the same level as his current plan for 18 months if he resigns prior to January 31, 2012, or otherwise through January 2014. If a new Chief Financial Officer is hired prior to Mr. Blazer’s separation from the Company, he has agreed to resign his position as Chief Financial Officer (but not his employment).
If the Company and Mr. Blazer agree, Mr. Blazer will provide consulting services following the termination of his employment. The Agreement also contains a standard release from Mr. Blazer.
The Company has initiated a search for a new Chief Financial Officer and has identified several candidates. The Board of Directors is engaged in the interview process.
The description set forth herein of the terms and conditions of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, which is filed with this report as Exhibit 10.1, and incorporated by reference into this Item 5.02.
