Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On August 14, 2014, Energizer Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that Daniel J. Sescleifer, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, plans to depart from the Company upon the completion of the previously announced separation of the household products and personal care products divisions of the Company into two independent, publicly traded companies (the “Spin-Off”).
In connection with Mr. Sescleifer’s departure from the Company, on August 11, 2014, the Company entered into a term sheet with Mr. Sescleifer (the “Term Sheet”) providing certain terms that will be included in a separation agreement between Mr. Sescleifer and the Company (the “Separation Agreement”). The Term Sheet provides for time-based, pro-rata participation in the Company’s fiscal 2015 Annual Cash Bonus Program consistent with Mr. Sescleifer’s current participation and treatment of restricted stock equivalents (“RSEs”) previously awarded to Mr. Sescleifer, including that upon the consummation of the Spin-Off:
• | Mr. Sescleifer will vest in a pro-rata portion, based on his period of employment with the Company during the applicable three-year vesting periods, of the 5,667 and 2,954 time-based RSEs that were awarded on December 10, 2012 and November 6, 2013, respectively, on the applicable vesting dates of those awards; |
• | Mr. Sescleifer will vest in a pro-rata portion, based on his period of employment with the Company during the applicable three-year vesting periods, of the amount of performance-based RSEs, subject to performance based vesting requirements, that were awarded on December 10, 2012 and November 6, 2013, respectively, on the applicable vesting dates of those awards. |
The Separation Agreement is also expected to contain customary non-competition and non-solicitation provisions.
