(the “Registrant”) adopted forms of agreements to be used to evidence certain stock option, restricted unit, restricted stock and performance stock unit grants made to our executive officers, including our named executive officers, pursuant to the 2014 Omnibus Award Plan (the “2014 Plan”) and the UK Tax Advantaged Sub-Plan to the 2014 Plan (the “UK Sub-Plan”). The 2014 Plan and the UK Sub-Plan have been filed as exhibits to the Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. The forms of: (i) stock option grant agreement; (ii) UK Sub-Plan stock option grant agreement; (iii) restricted unit award agreement; (iv) restricted stock award agreement; and (v) performance stock unit award agreement are attached as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2. 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are hereby incorporated by reference.
Change in Control Severance Plan
On September 9, 2015, following the adoption of the forms of grant agreements described above, the Board of Directors of the Registrant, upon recommendation of the Committee, adopted an Amended and Restated Change in Control Severance Plan for Corporate Officers (the “Severance Plan”), which amends and restates the Registrant’s existing Change in Control Severance Plan for Corporate Officers. The Severance Plan now provides, among other things, that (defined terms used, but not defined below, have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Severance Plan):
(i)
Severance payments, when payable pursuant to the Severance Plan, will be equal to 200% (or in the case of the Registrant’s chief executive officer, 250%) of the Participant’s Current Total Annual Compensation;
(ii)
A pro-rata bonus, when payable pursuant to the Severance Plan, will be paid in an amount equal to a pro-rata portion of the Participant’s target annual cash bonus opportunity for the fiscal year in which the Participant’s Qualifying Termination occurs, determined by multiplying the amount of such target annual cash bonus opportunity by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the fiscal year of the Qualifying Termination that the Participant is employed by the Registrant and the denominator of which is 365;
(iii)
A medical benefit payment, when payable pursuant to the Severance Plan, will be paid in an amount equal to the amount of the Registrant’s portion of 12 months’ of medical insurance premiums with respect to the Participant at the same rate that the Registrant paid immediately prior to the Participant’s Qualifying Termination;
(iv)
As additional consideration for the Severance Benefit (and additional benefits) provided under the Severance Plan, each Participant agrees to and/or reaffirms the restrictive covenants contained in the Registrant’s Restrictive Covenant Agreement entered into between the Participant and the Registrant prior to the date of the Severance Plan or effective upon the Participant becoming subject to the Severance Plan;
(v)
the Committee shall enforce the Severance Plan in accordance with its terms and shall not have administrative discretion to vary the terms of the Severance Plan or a Participant’s rights under the Severance Plan; and
(vi)
The Registrant intends that the Severance Plan and all benefits provided thereunder either comply with, or be exempt from, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder.
The foregoing summary of certain provisions of the Severance Plan is not meant to be complete or exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety be reference to the Severance Plan, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.6 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is hereby incorporated by reference.
