On September 21, 2016, NCR Corporation (“NCR” or the “Company”) announced that its Board of Directors has appointed Mark D. Benjamin to serve as the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Benjamin is expected to join the Company during October 2016.
Previously Mr. Benjamin, 46, held various leadership and operational roles with Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (“ADP”), which he joined in 1992. At ADP, Mr. Benjamin served as President, Global Enterprise Solutions, from July 2013 to September 2016, as President, Employer Services International from July 2011 to June 2013, and as Senior Vice President, Services and Operations - Small Business Services and TotalSource from April 2008 to June 2011.
In connection with his appointment, the Company and Mr. Benjamin entered into a letter agreement, dated September 16, 2016, under which he will receive an annual base salary of $750,000, and participate in the Company’s Management Incentive Plan with a total annual cash target bonus opportunity of 125% of his base salary. He will also receive a new hire equity award of single-metric performance-based restricted stock units with an award value equal to $8,500,000, which will be the subject of a separate grant agreement. He will also be eligible for future annual equity grants under the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Program which, for 2017, will include restricted stock units with an aggregate value of no less than $3,500,000. Mr. Benjamin will participate in the NCR Executive Severance Plan, with a separation benefit of one and one-half times (1.5x) his annual base salary and target bonus (as defined in the plan) in the event of a qualifying termination, and will participate in the Amended and Restated NCR Change in Control Severance Plan with a “Tier I” benefit level. He will also be entitled to immediate vesting of his new hire equity award and 2017 annual equity award in the event of a qualifying termination, provided the applicable performance goals are met.
Additional information about these benefit plans and programs, and other plans and programs generally available to the Company’s executive officers, is included in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2016 annual meeting of its stockholders filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 10, 2016.
