General Description of New Employment Agreement
In connection with the Closing of the Business Combination, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) approved, and the Company entered into, an employment agreement with Susan Collyns (the “employment agreement”), which provides for Ms. Collyns’ continued employment with the Company as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. The employment agreement supersedes and replaces the prior employment agreement between the Company and Ms. Collyns, dated as of June 25, 2014. The material terms of the employment agreement are as follows:
Under the employment agreement, Ms. Collyns reports to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. Ms. Collyns’ employment under the employment agreement is at-will and will continue until terminated at any time by any party in accordance with the terms of the employment agreement.
In addition, the employment agreement provides for: (i) an annual base salary of $600,000, payable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices and which may be increased (but not decreased) in the sole discretion of the Board; and (ii) effective on the Closing of the Business Combination, a target annual bonus opportunity equal to 75% of Ms. Collyns’ annual base salary, based on the achievement of individual and/or Company performance goals as determined by the Board in its sole discretion. Any such annual bonus earned by Ms. Collyns shall be payable to her on the date annual bonuses are paid to other senior executives of the Company (but in no event later than March 15th of the year following the year in which such bonus was earned), subject to Ms. Collyns’ continued employment through the applicable payment date. Under the employment agreement, Ms. Collyns (and her spouse and/or eligible dependents) are eligible to participate in the customary health, welfare and fringe benefit plans maintained by the Company for the benefit of its senior executives.
