Effective as of October 31, 2006 (the “Separation Date”), John D. Gregg resigned his employment as an executive officer of Indus International, Inc. (“the Company”). Mr. Gregg served as Executive Vice President of Field Operations since February 2004.
In connection with his departure, Mr. Gregg and the Company entered into a Separation Agreement, General Release of All Claims and Covenant Not to Sue dated October 31, 2006 (the “Separation Agreement”). In consideration of Mr. Gregg’s service with the Company and in exchange for Mr. Gregg’s release of claims and covenant not to sue, the Company will pay Mr. Gregg a lump sum of $119,995, which is equal to six (6) months of his salary. The Company will also reimburse Mr. Gregg, on a monthly basis for up to six (6) months, for the full amount of any payments he makes under COBRA to continue receiving health, medical, and/or dental benefits for himself or his dependents under the Company’s benefit plans. The Company’s reimbursement obligation will terminate before the end of such six (6) month period if Mr. Gregg becomes eligible to receive health, medical, and/or dental benefits from a new employer.
Mr. Gregg also holds outstanding options to purchase 440,000 shares of Company stock. Pursuant to the applicable equity incentive plans and award agreements, 207,500 unvested options will terminate as of the Separation Date and will be of no further force or effect, and 232,500 vested options will remain exercisable for three months following the Separation Date. Mr. Gregg will forfeit all of his right, title, and interest in and to the 25,000 shares of restricted stock that he holds, and the shares of restricted stock will revert to the Company.
The foregoing description of the Separation Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Separation Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
