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 March 30, 2022, Porch Group, Inc. (the “Company”) mutually agreed with Martin Heimbigner, Chief Financial Officer of the Company (the “Executive”), to begin a search for the Executive’s successor and entered into a transition arrangement. The Company engaged an independent executive search firm to assist in sourcing qualified candidates and expects to retain a new Chief Financial Officer during 2022.
On August 9, 2022, the Company approved a second amendment (the “CFO Offer Letter Amendment”) to the offer letter, effective June 15, 2020, as amended on February 11, 2022 (the “CFO Offer Letter”) with the Executive. A summary of the material terms of the CFO Offer Letter Amendment is set forth below and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
CFO Offer Letter Amendment
Base Salary: Effective October 1, 2021, Executive’s annual base salary was increased to $390,000 (previously $350,000).
Bonus Compensation Programs: The CFO Offer Letter Amendment provides that Executive is eligible for participation in certain incentive programs, as follows:
In order to continue to facilitate an orderly transition to a new Chief Financial Officer, a 2022 transition cash bonus program of $250,000.00 in the aggregate, with 40% earned upon timely filing of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2022 (such timely filing, the “10-Q Event”) and, subject to the Company electing to extend the Executive’s transition services thereafter, 60% earned upon timely filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 (such timely filing, the “10-K Event”).
In addition, given Executive’s contributions to the Company thus far in 2022 and those anticipated to occur thereafter, a short-term incentive cash bonus program with a target bonus of $205,000 per 360-day period, subject to a maximum payout of $247,708.
In each case, Executive must remain continuously employed in good standing through the applicable milestone date as a condition to earn the bonus.
Stock Option Exercise Period Extensions: Executive’s nonqualified stock option awards that were issued pursuant to the CFO Offer Letter that are vested and outstanding on each of September 30, 2022, the 10-Q Event and the 10-K Event will be exercisable, depending on the milestone achieved, for between 1 year and 2 years and 90 days following separation of employment from the Company (previously, such period generally was 90 days following separation of employment). In each case, Executive must remain continuously employed in good standing through the applicable milestone date as a condition to any extension of the option exercise period.
Severance: The CFO Offer Letter Amendment provides that, upon specified severance events and subject to a customary mutual release, certain bonus compensation will be paid in full and the applicable stock options will be exercisable for 2 years and 90 days following separation of employment.
