Separation and Consulting Agreement with William E. Saxelby

 

As previously disclosed by the Company on August 22, 2014, Mr. Michael T. Leatherman has been appointed the Company’s Interim President and Chief Executive Officer and Mr. William E. Saxelby, the Company’s previous President and Chief Executive Officer and director, has stepped down from such positions, in each case effective as of September 15, 2014.

 

On September 12, 2014, Landauer, Inc. (the “Company”) and William E. Saxelby entered into a Separation and Consulting Agreement (the “Agreement”).  The Agreement describes the benefits that Mr. Saxelby will receive pursuant to his existing agreements with the Company, including (i) a cash payment  of $1,618,050, which equals two times the sum of Mr. Saxelby’s base salary and the average of Mr. Saxelby’s three most recent annual bonuses, (ii) a cash payment of $284,337, which is equal to Mr. Saxelby’s target incentive bonus for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2014, prorated through September 15, 2014, and (iii) vesting of 27,648 shares of the Company’s common stock, which reflects prorated vesting through September 15, 2014 of shares of the Company’s common stock previously granted to Mr. Saxelby under restricted share and performance share award agreements.

 

Pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. Saxelby will provide consulting services to the Company until September 30, 2015.  Mr. Saxelby’s consulting services will focus on Radwatch market penetration and transition matters related to the military vertical market.  As compensation for the consulting services, the Company has awarded Mr. Saxelby 11,403 shares of the Company’s common stock with a value of approximately $400,000 as of the grant date, subject to vesting based on the satisfaction of performance goals related to his consulting services.
