On August 28, 2009, Steve Watkins, Chief Executive Officer, resigned as Chief Executive Officer and Director of InfuSystem Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) effective September 7, 2009 (the “Resignation Date”).
The Company and Mr. Watkins have entered into a separation agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) which contains a general release of the Company and its officers, directors and affiliates from any claims by him. Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, and in lieu of what Mr. Watkins may have been entitled to under the terms of his employment agreement with the Company, the Company will pay Mr. Watkins (i) his annual base salary of Three Hundred Ten Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($310,500) for a period of two years following the Resignation Date in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices and (ii) a bonus in the amount of One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) for the 2009 calendar year within thirty (30) days of the Resignation Date. The Company will continue to pay for Mr. Watkins’ existing health insurance benefits for a period of two years following the Resignation Date. Additionally, any unvested portions of Mr. Watkins’ stock options or restricted share grants will vest pro rata based upon his services to the Company as Chief Executive Officer during the 2009 calendar year. All of the foregoing benefits are contingent upon Mr. Watkins’ satisfaction of certain confidentiality and non-compete obligations under the terms of the Separation Agreement. Both the Company and Mr. Watkins are also subject to mutual non-disparagement obligations.
The foregoing description of the Separation Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Separation Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
In connection with Mr. Watkins’ resignation, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) has (i) appointed Sean McDevitt, the current Chairman of the Board, as Chief Executive Officer and (ii) formed an Executive Committee consisting of Chairman Sean McDevitt, Wayne Yetter and John Voris, with Mr. McDevitt serving as Executive Chairman. The Board has authorized Sean McDevitt, as Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman of the Executive Committee, to fill the role of principal executive officer of the Company until such time as the Board may appoint a successor Chief Executive Officer. The Executive Committee will assist Mr. McDevitt in fulfilling his obligations with respect to such role. Mr. McDevitt will receive a monthly retainer in the amount of $25,000 for his services as Executive Chairman. Each of Messrs. Yetter and Voris will receive a monthly retainer in the amount of $5,000 for his services as a member of the Executive Committee.
