Item 5.02.
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.


(b) On January 7, 2016, James Walters submitted a resignation from his position as Executive Vice President, Sales & Marketing of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, which resignation will be effective as of January 11, 2016.
 
(e) In connection with his resignation, Mr. Walters entered into a Severance Payment and Release Agreement with ClubCorp USA, Inc., his employer and an indirect subsidiary of the Company, on January 7, 2016 (the “Separation Agreement”). Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, Mr. Walters will be placed on “garden leave” for the period commencing on January 11, 2016 and ending on March 15, 2016, on which date his employment will automatically terminate (such period, the “Garden Leave Period”). As a continuing employee during the Garden Leave Period, Mr. Walters will participate in the employer sponsored health plan and receive his base salary. In addition, so long as he does not terminate his employment prior to the expiration of the Garden Leave Period, Mr. Walters will become vested in any shares of restricted stock and any performance restricted stock units for which the applicable vesting conditions are satisfied prior to the expiration of the Garden Leave Period. Should Mr. Walters terminate his employment prior to the expiration of the Garden Leave Period pursuant to the terms of the Separation Agreement he will become vested in any shares of restricted stock, but not any of the performance restricted stock units for which the applicable vesting conditions are not satisfied prior to the earlier expiration of the Garden Leave Period. Mr. Walters will also remain eligible to receive his bonus, if any, earned under the Company’s 2015 Short Term Incentive Plan. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the Separation Agreement, Mr. Walters will be entitled to receive (i) a lump sum cash severance payment of $339,166.66 on March 15, 2016, (ii) a dues free recallable membership at a Company-owned club selected by Mr. Walters with “Signature Gold Golf” privileges (and the initiation/deposit fee waived) through January 10, 2021, and (iii) payment of $10,000.00 for reimbursement of his expenses incurred in commuting in 2015 from his primary residence in Wisconsin to the Company’s corporate office in Texas.

The description of the Separation Agreement set forth herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K.
