On March 26, 2015, Alico, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that Kenneth Smith resigned as the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer effective as of March 20, 2015.

Under the Separation and Consulting Agreement, Mr. Smith will be entitled, subject to his execution, delivery, and non-revocation of a general release of claims in favor of the Company, to the following benefits: (a) $525,000 in cash in a lump sum, (b) an annual consulting fee of $200,000 during the period commencing on his resignation date and ending on second anniversary of his resignation date, subject to his continuing to provide services to the Company (the amounts described in clauses (a) and (b), the “Consulting Fees”), and (c) if, as of the third anniversary of his resignation date, annualized revenues in respect of certain Company water projects equal or exceed certain thresholds, then an amount up to $300,000 in cash in a lump sum (depending on such revenues), subject to his continuing to provide services to the Company (the amount in clause (c), the “Third Year Payment”). The Separation and Consulting Agreement also provides that, if Mr. Smith’s consulting services are terminated by the Company without cause during the consulting period, he will be paid the amount of any unpaid Consulting Fees under the Separation and Consulting Agreement and continue to be eligible to receive the Third Year Payment.
