Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
As previously announced, on September 17, 2014, the Board of Directors (the “Manager Board”) of EnLink Midstream Manager, LLC (the “Manager”), the managing member of EnLink Midstream, LLC (the “Registrant”), upon the recommendation of its governance and compensation committee, and the Board of Directors (the “Partnership Board” and, together with the Manager Board, the “Boards) of EnLink Midstream GP, LLC (the “General Partner”), the general partner of EnLink Midstream Partners, LP (the “Partnership”), upon the recommendation of its compensation committee, approved the form of a severance agreement (the “Original Severance Agreement”). EnLink Midstream Operating, LP (“EnLink Midstream Operating” or the “Company”), a subsidiary of the Partnership, thereafter offered the Original Severance Agreement to certain of its employees, including the Manager’s and the General Partner’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer and other named executive officers (the “officers”).
On October 31, 2014, the Boards approved the form of an amended and restated severance agreement (the “Amended Severance Agreement”). The Amended Severance Agreement amends the Original Severance Agreement to provide that: (i) the term (the “Term”) of the Amended Severance Agreement shall commence on the execution date of the Amended Severance Agreement (the “Effective Date”) and continue until the earlier of (A) the first anniversary of the Effective Date, provided that the Term shall be automatically renewed for additional one-year periods beginning on the day following the first anniversary of the Effective Date (each, a “Renewal Date”), unless the Partnership Board or its compensation committee, as applicable, provides the officer with written notice (a “Non-Renewal Notice”) of the Company’s election not to renew the Term at least 30 days prior to any such Renewal Date, or (B) the termination of the officer’s employment; (ii) an officer’s employment many not be terminated by the Company for any reason other than Cause (as defined in the Amended Severance Agreement) for the 90-day period that follows the termination of the Amended Severance Agreement pursuant to a Non-Renewal Notice; and (iii) the Partnership Board or its compensation committee may amend the Amended Severance Agreement, effective as of an applicable Renewal Date, upon 30 days’ notice to the officer.
The foregoing description of the Amended Severance Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended Severance Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
