Family Relationships

Board Structure

 

Our Board currently comprises six members. Effective as of the Closing, the following people were appointed as directors of the Company:

 

Class I directors:   Eva F. Huston and Stephen C. Daffron;

 

Class II directors:   Ryan M. Hinkle and Timothy I. Maudlin; and

 

Class III directors:   Chinh E. Chu and Michael A. Farlekas.

 

Our directors are divided into three classes serving staggered three-year terms. Class I, Class II and Class III directors will serve until our annual meetings of stockholders in 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively. At each annual meeting of stockholders, directors will be elected to succeed the class of directors whose terms have expired. This classification of our Board could have the effect of increasing the length of time necessary to change the composition of a majority of the Board.

 

Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, the Insight Member has the right to nominate the IVP Directors to the Board and CC Capital, on behalf of the Sponsor, has the right to nominate the Sponsor Directors to the Board, in each case, for so long as such entity and their respective affiliates beneficially own certain specified percentages of the economic interests in the Company and E2open Holdings. The Chief Executive Officer of the Company is designated as the final member of the Board.

 

Director Independence

 

Under the rules of NYSE, independent directors must comprise a majority of a listed company’s board of directors. In addition, the rules of NYSE require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees be independent. Under the rules of NYSE, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of that company’s board of directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Audit committee members must also satisfy the additional independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and the rules of NYSE. Compensation committee members must also satisfy the additional independence criteria set forth in Rule 10C-1 under the Exchange Act and the rules of NYSE.

 

In order to be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and under the rules of NYSE, a member of an audit committee of a listed company may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the committee, the board of directors, or any other board committee: (1) accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries; or (2) be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries.

 

To be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10C-1 under the Exchange Act and under the rules of NYSE, the board of directors must affirmatively determine that the member of the compensation committee is independent, including a consideration of all factors specifically relevant to determining whether the director has a relationship to the company which is material to that director’s ability to be independent from management in connection with the duties of a compensation committee member, including, but not limited to: (i) the source of compensation of such director, including any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee paid by the company to such director; and (ii) whether such director is affiliated with the company, a subsidiary of the company or an affiliate of a subsidiary of the company.

 

The Board has undertaken a review of the independence of each director and considered whether each director of the Company has a material relationship with the Company that could compromise his or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. As a result of this review, the Company determined that Chinh E. Chu, Eva F. Huston, Stephen C. Daffron, Ryan M. Hinkle and Timothy I. Maudlin are “independent directors” as defined under the listing requirements and rules of NYSE and the applicable rules of the Exchange Act.

Board Leadership Structure

 

The Company believes that the structure of the Board and its committees will provide strong overall management of the Company.

 

Committees of the Board

 

The Board will have an audit committee, compensation committee, and nominating and corporate governance committee. The composition and responsibilities of each of the committees of the Board is described below. Members will serve on these committees until their resignation or until as otherwise determined by the Board.

 

Role of the Board in Risk Oversight

 

Risk is inherent with every business, and how well a business manages risk can ultimately determine its success. We face a number of risks, including the risks described above under the heading “Risk Factors.” Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risks we face, while our Board, as a whole and through its committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management of the Company. In its risk oversight role, our Board has the responsibility to satisfy itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed.

 

The role of the Board in overseeing the management of our risks is conducted primarily through committees of the Board, as disclosed in the descriptions of each of the committees below and in the charters of each of the committees. The full Board (or the appropriate Board committee in the case of risks that are under the purview of a particular committee) discusses with management our major risk exposures, their potential impact on us, and the steps we take to manage them. When a Board committee is responsible for evaluating and overseeing the management of a particular risk or risks, the chairperson of the relevant committee reports on the discussion to the full Board during the committee reports portion of the next Board meeting. This enables the Board and its committees to coordinate the risk oversight role, particularly with respect to risk interrelationships.

 

A copy of the Corporate Governance Guidelines is available on our investor relations website.

(1)Effective September 1, 2019, each of Messrs. Farlekas’, Janik’s and Hantman’s base salary was increased from $334,000, $280,000, and $314,000, respectively, to $380,000, $300,000, and $350,000, respectively. In fiscal 2020, Mr. Farlekas’ base salary included an incremental payment of $41,713 to account for his increased expenses for frequent travel on behalf of the company. E2open pays Mr. Farlekas this additional amount in regular installments in accordance with E2open’s regular payroll practices and does not require that it be used towards any specific expense, or that Mr. Farlekas provide any documentation as to how the proceeds are used. In fiscal 2021, this amount was $41,714.

 

(2)The amounts reported in this column for fiscal year ended February 28, 2021 represent the equity-based compensation expense computed in accordance with FASB ASC 718 as a result of the accelerated vesting and modification to the Class B Units granted to each of our named executive officers prior to the occurrence of the Business Combination. For accounting purposes, the Class B Units were modified because the vesting of certain awards that would not have otherwise vested was accelerated upon closing of the Business Combination. The amounts reflect the equity-based compensation expense for these grants and do not represent the actual economic value that may be realized by each named executive officer. There can be no assurance that these amounts will ever be realized. In connection with the Business Combination, the Class B Units were exchanged in part for cash and in part for equity consideration comprised of common units of E2open Holdings, together with a corresponding number of shares of Class V Common Stock of the Company, Series 1 RCUs of E2open Holdings and Series 2 RCUs of E2open Holdings based on the equity consideration valuation at the closing of the Business Combination. Of the amounts reported in this column in respect of each named executive officer’s unvested awards that were accelerated, for each of Messrs. Farlekas, Janik and Hantman, $3,493,365, $641,457 and $963,115 was delivered in cash, respectively, and the remainder was delivered in equity.

(3)The amounts reported as earned in this column represent the bonuses earned by each named executive officer pursuant to the Executive Bonus Plan. For fiscal 2020, these amounts were paid in May 2020. The amounts required to be reported with respect to fiscal 2021 are not calculable at this time. We anticipate such bonus amounts to be determined on or about by April 15, 2021. For additional information, please see “— Executive Bonus Plan” below.

 

(4)The amounts listed in the “All Other Compensation” column represent matching contributions paid on behalf of each named executive officer under our 401(k) plan.

Certain of the compensation paid to E2open’s named executive officers reflected in the summary compensation table was provided pursuant to employment agreements, which are summarized below. Except as described below under “— Severance Benefits,” each of the named executive officers is employed on an at-will basis. The agreements that covered employment in fiscal 2021 were superseded by new employment letter agreements discussed in more detail below under “— Key Compensation Actions for Fiscal Year 2022.”

 

Each of Messrs. Farlekas, Janik, and Hantman were a party to an employment agreement memorializing the terms of the executive’s employment with E2open. Effective September 1, 2019, each of Messrs. Farlekas’, Janik’s and Hantman’s base salary was set at $380,000, $300,000, and $350,000, respectively. Mr. Farlekas also received an annual payment, totaling $41,714 in fiscal 2021, to account for his expenses for frequent travel on behalf of the company. E2open pays Mr. Farlekas this additional payment in regular installments in accordance with E2open’s regular payroll practices and does not require that it be used towards any specific expense, or that Mr. Farlekas provide any documentation as to how the proceeds are used. In addition, each of Messrs. Farlekas, Janik and Hantman were eligible to earn a target annual bonus of $380,000, $240,000, and $325,000, respectively, subject to the executive’s continued employment through the applicable payment date. Each executive was also a party to E2open’s standard Proprietary Information Agreement, which subjected him to an indefinite confidentiality provision, an inventions assignment provision, and a 12-month post-termination non-solicit of E2open’s employees and, for Messrs. Farlekas and Janik, customers. Mr. Farlekas was also subject to a nine-month post-termination non-compete.

 

Executive Bonus Plan

 

Bonuses payable to E2open’s named executive officers in respect of service during fiscal 2020 were paid in May 2020 and determined based on the achievement of the following performance criteria: company recurring revenue, gross margin percentage, EBITDA and individual performance objectives, each, as established by the Board of Managers of E2open Holdings and given a weighting of 45%, 10%, 25% and 20%, respectively. For fiscal 2020, based on the actual level of achievement of our operating and personal performance objectives, the bonus for each executive was funded at 100%, resulting in a payout to each of Messrs. Farlekas, Janik and Hantman of $380,000, $240,000, and $325,000, respectively.

 

Bonuses payable to E2open’s named executive officers in respect of service during fiscal 2021 are expected to be paid in May 2021 and will be determined based on the achievement of the following performance criteria: total company revenue which includes both subscription and professional services revenue, net annual recurring Revenue, gross margin percentage, EBITDA and individual performance objectives, each, as established by the Board of Managers of E2open Holdings and given a weighting of 25%, 40%, 25% and 10%, respectively. Actual payout of such bonus is not calculable at this time and will be included on a Form 8-K within four business days of its final determination upon the completion of E2open’s review of E2open’s financial performance for fiscal year 2021.

Class B Units

 

Prior to the Business Combination, E2open Holdings had a unit-based compensation program that authorized, at the discretion of the Board of Managers of E2open or a committee thereof, the issuance of non-vested restricted Class B Units. In connection with the Business Combination, all Class B Units were exchanged in part for cash and in part for equity consideration comprised of common units of E2open Holdings, together with a corresponding number of shares of Class V Common Stock of E2open Parent, Series 1 RCUs of E2open Holdings and Series 2 RCUs of E2open Holdings based on the equity consideration valuation at the closing of the Business Combination. All time and performance based vesting conditions in respect of the Class B Units were deemed to have been satisfied as of the closing of the Business Combination.

 

Health and Welfare Plans

 

E2open’s named executive officers are eligible to participate in its employee benefit plans, including its medical, dental, vision, life, disability, health and dependent care flexible spending accounts, health savings account and accidental death and dismemberment benefit plans, in each case on the same basis as all of its other employees.

 

Retirement Plan

 

E2open sponsors a retirement plan intended to qualify for favorable tax treatment under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), containing a cash or deferred feature that is intended to meet the requirements of Section 401(k) of the Code, for the benefit of its employees, including the named executive officers. No minimum benefit is provided under the plan. An employee is 100% vested in his or her pre-tax deferrals when contributed. E2open will match 50% of the first 6% of compensation contributed to the 401(k) plan during each calendar year. E2open’s matching contribution is made in February of the year following the year to which the match relates, and each participant is immediately vested in the matching contribution. Participants must be employed with E2open on December 31st of the applicable plan year to receive the matching contribution.

 

Severance Benefits

 

Other than as set forth below, E2open did not offer or have in place for its named executive officers any severance or similar compensation programs providing for additional benefits or payments in connection with a termination of employment, change in job responsibility or change in control as of February 28, 2021.

 

Michael A. Farlekas.   Pursuant to Mr. Farlekas’ employment agreement, if Mr. Farlekas’ employment was terminated by E2open (other than for cause (as defined in his employment agreement), or as a result of his death or permanent disability), subject to Mr. Farlekas’ execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims in favor of E2open and its affiliates, Mr. Farlekas was entitled to (i) continued payment of his base salary for nine months and (ii) an additional monthly amount equal to $1,900 for healthcare expenses for six months following the date of such termination, provided that the healthcare stipend will cease earlier if Mr. Farlekas becomes eligible to receive healthcare coverage from a subsequent employer.

 

Jarett J. Janik.   Pursuant to Mr. Janik’s employment agreement, if Mr. Janik’s employment was terminated by E2open (other than for cause (as defined in his employment agreement) or because of his death or permanent disability), subject to Mr. Janik’s execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims in favor of E2open and its affiliates, Mr. Janik was entitled to continued payment of his base salary for six months following such date of termination.

 

Peter R. Hantman.   Pursuant to Mr. Hantman’s employment agreement, if Mr. Hantman’s employment is terminated by E2open (other than for cause (as defined in his employment agreement) or as a result of his death or permanent disability), subject to Mr. Hantman’s execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims in favor of E2open and its affiliates, Mr. Hantman was entitled to the sum of (a) 50% of his then-current base salary and (b) 50% of his target annual bonus for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs, paid in equal installments over six months following such date of termination.

 

In connection with the Business Combination, these severance benefits were terminated and replaced by the E2open Parent Holdings, Inc. Executive Severance Plan — see “— Key Compensation Actions for Fiscal Year 2022.”

Executive Annual Incentive Program

 

The Board approved the adoption of an Executive Annual Incentive Program, which provides for a cash bonus to our executive team, including our named executive officers, upon achievement of specific performance milestones. The objective of the Executive Annual Incentive Program is to reward achievement of annual financial performance goals, and to establish appropriate company performance expectations to ensure executives are accountable for the Company’s continued growth and financial performance.

 

Performance measures and goals for determining named executive officers’ fiscal year 2022 annual incentive awards are based on the Company’s achievement of financial performance goals, including organic revenue growth, net bookings, and adjusted EBITDA. For each performance measure, 100% of the bonus opportunity will be paid with respect to such metric if target performance is achieved. Payout begins at 25% of target for both net bookings and adjusted EBITDA while payout begins at 50% of target for organic revenue growth. All payouts max out at 200% of target. No bonus will be allocated to a performance measure if minimum threshold results are not achieved.

 

The Executive Annual Incentive Program will be administered by the Compensation Committee.

 

Equity Incentive Plan

 

At the extraordinary general meeting held on February 2, 2021, CCNB1 shareholders considered and approved the Incentive Plan and reserved 15,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock for issuance. The Incentive Plan was approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, and became effective, on February 4, 2021. The purposes of the Incentive Plan are to enable E2open to attract and retain the types of employees and independent directors who will contribute to long-range success, provide incentives to align the interests of employees and independent directors with those of stockholders, and promote the success of the business. These incentives are provided through the grant of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance share awards, cash awards and other equity-based awards. For a full description of the Incentive Plan, see the Proxy Statement/Prospectus in the section titled “Shareholder Proposal 3: The Equity Incentive Plan Proposal” filed on January 12, 2021.

Executive Severance Plan

 

On February 4, 2021, the Company adopted an Executive Severance Plan for the benefit of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and each of his direct reports. Pursuant to the severance plan, upon a qualifying termination of employment (which includes a termination of employment by the Company without “cause” or following a resignation for “good reason” (each, as defined in the plan)), subject to the execution of a release of claims against the Company and its affiliates, the participant would be eligible to receive severance equal to (i) a lump sum payment equal to one-times the participant’s base salary and target bonus opportunity, (ii) a pro-rata bonus for the year in which the termination occurs, determined based on actual performance following the end of the applicable performance period and paid at such time as all other bonus participants, and (iii) reimbursement for a portion of the participant’s COBRA continuation coverage premiums for a period of up to 18 months. If the qualifying termination occurs following a change in control of the Company, the severance payments will be equal to (i) a lump sum payment equal to two-times the participant’s base salary and target bonus opportunity, (ii) a pro-rata bonus for the year in which the termination occurs, determined based on actual performance following the end of the applicable performance period and paid at such time as all other bonus participants, and (iii) reimbursement for a portion of the participant’s COBRA continuation coverage premiums for a period of up to 18 months. Payment of the severance benefits is generally subject to the participant’s agreement to be subject to a covenant not to compete with the Company or solicit its employees and customers for a period of 12 months following a termination of employment.

 

Director Compensation

 

The Company adopted a new board of directors’ compensation program which is designed to provide competitive compensation necessary to attract and retain quality non-employee directors and to encourage ownership of Class A Common Stock to further align their interests with those of our stockholders. The new program, effective March 1, 2021, offers the following compensation for non-employee directors:

 

An annual cash retainer of $75,000;

 

An annual cash retainer of $100,000 for the chair of the board of directors, $20,000 for the chair of the audit committee, $15,000 for the chair of the compensation committee and $10,000 for the chair of the nominating & governance committee; and

 

An equity retainer with a value of $175,000, payable in the form of restricted stock units that vest on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant. For fiscal year 2022, the grant was fixed as of March 1st at a stock price of $9.77, resulting in 17,912 restricted stock units. The actual grant will occur as soon as the Company’s Form S-8 is filed in April, with the one-year vesting requirement commencing at such time

 

All cash retainers will be payable quarterly in arrears.

 

Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions

 

Other than as described below, there have not been, nor are there any currently proposed, transactions or series of similar transactions meeting this criteria to which we have been or will be a party other than compensation arrangements, including employment, termination of employment and change in control arrangements, which are described where required under “Executive Compensation”. We believe the terms of the transactions described below were comparable to terms we could have obtained in arm’s-length dealings with unrelated third parties.

 

CCNB1 Related Party Transactions

 

Related Party Loans

 

On January 16, 2020, the Sponsor agreed to loan CCNB1 up to $300,000 to be used for the payment of costs related to the IPO pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). The Note is non-interest bearing, unsecured and due upon the closing of the IPO. CCNB1 borrowed approximately $125,000 under the Note. On May 29, 2020, CCNB1 repaid the Note to the Sponsor in full.

 

139

 

  

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, CCNB1 had certain arrangements with the Sponsor, its affiliates and certain of its officers and directors pursuant to which such affiliates may have, but were not obligated to, loan CCNB1 funds for working capital and similar operational purposes (“Working Capital Loans”). Upon completion of the Business Combination, CCNB1 would have been required to repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to it. CCNB1 did not have any borrowings under the Working Capital Loans and no such amounts were repaid to the Sponsor or any other affiliate of CCNB1.

 

Forward Purchase Agreement and Forward Purchase Agreement Side Letter

 

In connection with the IPO, CCNB1 entered into the Forward Purchase Agreement with NBOKS, a member of the Sponsor, which provided for the purchase of up to the amount of the Forward Purchase Securities, for the Maximum Forward Purchase Amount, in a private placement to close concurrently with the closing of the initial business combination (which was the Business Combination). In connection with the Business Combination Agreement, NBOKS and CCNB1 entered into the FPA Side Letter, whereby NBOKS confirmed the allocation to CCNB1 of the Maximum Forward Purchase Amount and that it would subscribe for the Forward Purchase Securities in connection with the Business Combination. The Forward Purchase Securities were issued in connection with the Closing. The proceeds from the sale of Forward Purchase Securities formed part of the consideration payable under the Business Combination Agreement.

 

Backstop Agreement

 

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, CCNB1 entered into the Backstop Agreement with NBOKS, pursuant to which NBOKS agreed to, subject to the availability of capital it has committed to all special purpose acquisition companies sponsored by CC Capital and NBOKS on a first come first serve basis, allocate up to an aggregate of $300,000,000 to subscribe for shares of Class A Common Stock at $10.00 per share in connection with the Business Combination, which subscription amount would not exceed the number of shares of CCNB1 subject to redemption. Under the Backstop Agreement, CCNB1 and NBOKS made customary representations and warranties for transactions of this type regarding themselves, which terminated upon the Closing of the Business Combination. No portion of the Backstop was funded in connection with the Closing of the Business Combination.

 

Subscription Agreements

 

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, CCNB1 entered into a Subscription Agreement with CC Capital, an entity in which Chinh E. Chu, Director of CCNB1 has a controlling interest, pursuant to which CC Capital received 2,450,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at the Closing. In addition, concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, CCNB1 entered into Subscription Agreements with NBOKS and NBOKS Co-Invest Fund I LP, entities that Charles Kantor, Director of CCNB1 is the portfolio manager of, pursuant to which NBOKS and NBOKS Co-Invest Fund I, LP collectively received 2,400,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at the Closing.

 

In connection with the Business Combination, we entered into the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, the Tax Receivable Agreement, the Investor Rights Agreement and the Sponsor Side Letter Agreement, each of which is described in more detail under “The Business Combination — Related Agreements.”

 

E2open Related Party Transactions

 

Put Premium

 

On July 2, 2019, in connection with the Amber Road acquisition, E2open Holdings paid $5.3 million and $3.0 million to funds affiliated with Insight Partners and another private equity investor in E2open Holdings, respectively. These amounts were paid as a premium in exchange for a right granted by each investor to E2open Holdings to put and sell to such investor equity securities of E2open Holdings with a value equal to the aggregate amount paid by such investor pursuant to a commitment to provide equity financing to E2open, LLC for the Amber Road acquisition. This put right was not exercised by E2open Holdings.

SVB Credit Facility

 

On July 2, 2019, E2open Holdings incurred $36.6 million in term loans guaranteed by funds affiliated with Insight Partners pursuant to a joinder to such funds’ credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank. This indebtedness was repaid in full upon the consummation of the Business Combination.

 

Maudlin Consulting Agreement

 

On September 17, 2020, E2open entered into a consulting agreement with Timothy I. Maudlin (the “Maudlin Consulting Agreement”), pursuant to which, upon the successful completion of the Business Combination, Mr. Maudlin was entitled to an equity grant by the Company with a grant date fair value of $75,000, which is described in more detail in “Executive Compensation — Director Compensation.” If the Business Combination was not consummated, E2open would have, in lieu of the equity grant, made a one-time cash payment of $40,000 to Mr. Maudlin. Pursuant to the Maudlin Consulting Agreement, Mr. Maudlin was also given an opportunity to make an equity investment of $1,500,000 in E2open Holdings, which investment was consummated in exchange for Class A Units of E2open on October 10, 2020. Such grant was made on February 4, 2021 based on a closing stock price of $10.98 resulting in the issuance of 6,830 shares of fully vested Class A Common Stock. For additional information, see “Executive Compensation—Director Compensation.”
