On October 21, 2015, we announced some strategic changes to our organizational structure which are intended to further elevate and reinforce our design and innovation driven brand focus. As a result of these changes, we have eliminated the role of Chief Product Officer and Tara Poseley, who has served as our Chief Product Officer since she joined lululemon in October 2013, will be leaving lululemon after providing transition consulting services through the end of March 2016.
In connection with Ms. Poseley’s termination of employment, we entered into a Separation Agreement and Release on October 19, 2015. Under this agreement, Ms. Poseley agreed to provide transition consulting services to us until the end of March 2016. We agreed to pay Ms. Poseley payments equal to her base salary in accordance with our usual payroll practices and dates during the period she provides consulting services to us. In addition, Ms. Poseley will be eligible to receive a bonus under our Executive Bonus Plan if she continues to provide these services through the end of the fiscal year and her outstanding equity awards will continue to vest according to the terms of our equity incentive plans and applicable equity award agreements during the period she provides consulting services to us.
A copy of the press release we issued about this matter is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
