(c) Effective October 23, 2015, SMTC Corporation extended Jim Currie’s appointment as the interim Chief Financial Officer of SMTC to April 30, 2016.
Mr. Currie's services are being provided under an amended interim management services agreement between SMTC and Knightsbridge Interim Management Inc., a company that identifies and places independent contractors who provide certain interim management services (the "Management Services Agreement") and a letter of agreement (the "Letter of Agreement") with Mr. Currie. The Management Services Agreement and Letter Agreement both terminate on October 23, 2015 unless terminated earlier under various circumstances, each of which circumstance requires not more than 20 business days prior written notice of termination. Under the Management Services Agreement, Knightsbridge Interim Management Inc. will be paid $1,275 per day.
The Letter of Agreement stipulates that Mr. Currie will be paid by Knightsbridge Interim Management Inc. and will not be entitled to participate in any insurance (other than director and officer insurance and errors and omissions insurance coverage maintained on his behalf), health, welfare or other benefit plans or remunerations available to SMTC's employees except for reimbursement of pre-approved travel and other expenses incurred in this position. The Letter Agreement also requires that SMTC indemnify Mr. Currie in connection with the performance of his duties as interim Chief Financial Officer.
Other than the extension of the termination date of the management services agreement to April 30, 2016, the terms of the management services agreement and the letter of agreement remain unchanged.
