Separation Agreement with Former CEO

As previously announced, on January 18, 2022, Wendell Blonigan resigned from his positions as the President and Chief Executive Officer of Intevac, Inc. (the “Company”), as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), and from all other positions he held in the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

On January 27, 2022, the Company entered into a Separation Agreement and Release (the “Separation Agreement”) with Mr. Blonigan. Under the terms of the Separation Agreement, Mr. Blonigan will receive: (i) a payment equal to $590,000, payable in equal installments in accordance with the Company’s standard payroll procedures for the twelve (12) month period following the separation date; (ii) continuing payments intended to defray Mr. Blonigan’s health care costs of $2,000 per month for twelve (12) months following the separation date; (iii) the payout of Mr. Blonigan’s 2021 bonus, in a lump sum payment equal to $125,375, which is equivalent to the amount Mr. Blonigan would have received had he remained an employee of the Company through the date such bonus payments were made, and (iv) accelerated vesting with respect to (a) 18,750 shares subject to a stock option granted to Mr. Blonigan in May 2018, and (b) 9,375 shares subject to a stock option granted to Mr. Blonigan in May 2019, which represents the number of shares that would have vested under each such option had Mr. Blonigan remain employed with the Company through May 31, 2022. As part of the Separation Agreement, and as a condition to receiving the foregoing benefits, the parties agreed to provisions relating to a release and waiver of claims, confidentiality, non-disparagement, tax consequences and post-separation support of certain Company efforts.
