On July 6, 2015, Mark Lucas, the Chief Executive Officer of Imation Corp. (the “Company”), provided notice to the Company claiming that his removal from the Company’s Board of Directors on May 23, 2015 constitutes “Good Reason” for the termination of his employment under the terms of his Amended and Restated Severance and Change in Control Agreement with the Company dated November 24, 2014 (the “Agreement”) and his performance award agreements with the Company, and that he intends to terminate his employment at an unspecified date not earlier than September 21, 2015. The Agreement provides that the Company has 30 days from the receipt of the notice to cure the “Good Reason.” Mr. Lucas and the Company’s Board of Directors had commenced in January of this year a succession planning process for the position of Chief Executive Officer, which is continuing and is expected to conclude prior to Mr. Lucas’ termination of employment with the Company. Mr. Lucas and the Board of Directors have been, and will continue to be, committed to furthering Imation's strategic direction to focus on Data Storage and Security, and to return to growth and ongoing profitability, including efforts to explore strategic alternatives.
The form of Agreement and forms of performance award agreements have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and are described in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 20, 2015 filed with Securities and Exchange Commission on April 10, 2015, all of which are incorporated herein by reference.
