On August 19, 2015, SFX Entertainment, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into amendments to the employment agreements between the Company and each of Gregory Consiglio (the “Consiglio Amendment”) and Kevin Arrix (the “Arrix Amendment”).
The Consiglio Amendment modifies certain terms of Mr. Consiglio’s employment agreement with the Company dated January 22, 2015. The Amendment memorializes Mr. Consiglio’s previous disclosed appointment in July to the positions of President and Chief Executive Officer of Beatport, LLC, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, and his resignation from his positions as the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer. The Consiglio Amendment eliminates the annual target bonus of $400,000 and instead provides for a base salary of $300,000 and an annual bonus of $150,000. The Consiglio Amendment further provides that, upon the termination of Mr. Consiglio’s employment by the Company without “cause” or by Mr. Consiglio due to “good reason,” the Company shall make a severance payment to Mr. Consiglio equal to 6 months’ of his then-current annual salary and 50% of his annual bonus. The other material provisions of Mr. Consiglio’s original employment agreement, including the terms of certain sign-on equity grants, remain in full force and effect.
The Arrix Amendment amends the employment agreement between Mr. Arrix, the Company’s Executive Vice President, Global Brand Partnerships, and the Company dated January 22, 2015. The Arrix Amendment provides for a $300,000 base salary per annum and eliminates the performance-based target bonus of $500,000 and the additional performance-based equity bonus of up to 150,000 shares of common stock of the Company that were provided in the original employment agreement. The Arrix Amendment further provides that, upon the termination of Mr. Arrix’s employment by the Company without “cause” or by Mr. Arrix due to “good reason,” the Company shall make a severance payment to Mr. Arrix equal to 6 months’ of his then-current annual salary and 50% of his prior annual bonus, if any. The other material provisions of Mr. Arrix’s original employment agreement, including the terms of certain sign-on equity grants, remain in full force and effect.
Copies of the Consiglio Amendment and the Arrix Amendment are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 and are incorporated herein by reference.
