On May 4, 2012, OSI Restaurant Partners, LLC (the “Company”) announced the appointment of David Deno, 54, as the Company's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, commencing on May 7, 2012. Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Deno served as Chief Financial Officer of the international division of Best Buy Co. since December 2009. Prior to joining Best Buy Co., Mr. Deno was a consultant with Obelysk Capital from February 2009 to December 2009. Prior to joining Obelysk Capital, Mr. Deno was a Managing Director of CCMP Capital Advisors, LLC (“CCMP”), a private equity firm from August 2006 to February 2009. While with CCMP, Mr. Deno was the President and then CEO of Quiznos, LLC, an operator of quick service restaurants.
The material terms of Mr. Deno's employment with the Company are as follows:
• | Mr. Deno will be paid an annual base salary of $600,000. |
• | Mr. Deno will be eligible to participate in the Company's annual bonus program with a target bonus opportunity of 85% of base salary based on both Company performance against objectives as set forth in the Company's incentive program and individual performance against goals. For the year 2012, Mr. Deno will be eligible for the full-year program with a guaranteed payment equal to his target bonus. |
• | Mr. Deno will be paid a sign-on bonus of $425,000, less applicable taxes. One-half of the sign-on bonus will be paid to Mr. Deno on the date of his first paycheck from the Company, and the other half will be paid six months after the start of his employment with the Company. If Mr. Deno voluntarily terminates his employment with the Company within 12 months following each payment of the sign-on bonus, Mr. Deno is required to reimburse the Company for such payment. |
• | Mr. Deno will receive a one-time grant of options to purchase 400,000 shares of common stock of Bloomin' Brands, Inc., the Company's ultimate parent (“Bloomin' Brands”), with standard vesting of five years contingent on continued employment with the Company, subject to the terms of the Bloomin' Brands' 2007 Equity Incentive Plan and standard option award agreement. |
• | If Mr. Deno's employment is terminated by the Company without cause, Mr. Deno will be eligible to receive severance equal to a minimum of twelve months of his base salary. |
• | Mr. Deno will be entitled to reimbursement of reasonable costs associated with his relocation to Tampa, Florida in accordance with the Company's relocation policy. If Mr. Deno voluntarily terminates his employment, or if the Company terminates Mr. Deno's employment for cause within one year of the state date of his employment with the Company, Mr. Deno will be required to repay all relocation costs. |
• | Mr. Deno will be eligible to participate in benefit programs offered by the Company to its executives, which include personal time off, paid holidays, medical benefits, and participation in the Company's non-qualified deferred compensation plan. |
It is expected that Mr. Deno will enter into an employment agreement with the Company setting forth these and other terms of his employment.
As previously announced, Dirk Montgomery, the Company's current Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, will cease to be Chief Financial Officer effective upon commencement of Mr. Deno's employment, and will assume the new role of Chief Value Chain Officer.
