Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, members of the Company's leadership team, including executive officers Douglas B. Woodworth, Chief Financial Officer, and Gordon A. Walker, Senior Vice President, agreed to temporarily reduce their base salaries by 20%.
As previously disclosed, Mr. Woodworth and Steel Services Ltd entered into an Employment Agreement dated as of March 12, 2019, as amended on April 15, 2020 and April 30, 2020 (the "Woodworth Employment Agreement"). In connection with such salary reduction, Mr. Woodworth and Steel Services Ltd. entered into the Third Amendment to the Woodworth Employment Agreement (the "Third Amendment") on July 8, 2020. Pursuant to the Third Amendment, Mr. Woodworth agreed to his salary reduction and waived any rights he may have in connection thereto. In addition, the Third Amendment provides that, in the event the Company does not fully rescind Mr. Woodworth's salary reduction on or before September 1, 2020, Mr. Woodworth is entitled to claim that such salary reduction constitutes "Good Reason" under the Woodworth Employment Agreement and may terminate the Woodworth Employment Agreement and be entitled to the severance set forth therein. All other terms of the Employment Agreement remained unchanged.
The foregoing description of the Third Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Third Amendment, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
