Under the Agreement, in addition to payment of his salary and accrued vacation through the Separation Date, the Company will pay or provide Mr. Borick with the following:
(a) A lump-sum cash payment in an amount equal to (i) $1,345,833 (eighteen months of Mr. Borick's current base salary and an amount equal to an additional 30 days of compensation at Mr. Borick's current salary rate), plus (ii) if the Separation Date occurs prior to March 31, 2014, the amount of base salary that would have been payable to Mr. Borick during the period beginning on the Separation Date and ending on March 31, 2014;
(b) A lump-sum cash payment in an amount equal to that which Mr. Borick is eligible to receive under the Company's CEO Annual Incentive Performance Plan (described in the Company's most recent proxy statement) for 2013, calculated as though Mr. Borick remains employed by the Company as of the end of the calendar year;
(c) A grant of a number of shares of Company common stock equal to the Black-Scholes value of an annual award of 120,000 stock options that Mr. Borick would have been eligible to receive under the Company's Equity Incentive Plan, divided by the Company's closing stock price as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on the Separation Date (or if no price is reported on that day, then the last day prior to such day on which a price is reported); and
(d) Vesting of all of Mr. Borick's unvested stock options and unvested restricted stock.
In addition, the Company and Mr. Borick entered a Consulting Agreement, dated the same date as the Agreement, providing for Mr. Borick to consult with the Company for a twelve-month period beginning on the later of the Separation Date or the date on which he ceases being a member of the board of directors of the Company (provided, such period shall begin no later than the date of the Company's annual meeting of stockholders in 2015), in exchange for monthly payments of $5,000.
The Agreement provides that if a change of control (as defined in the Agreement) of the Company occurs pursuant to an agreement executed prior to March 31, 2014, Mr. Borick would receive, in lieu of the first lump-sum payment described above, any higher amount that he would have received under his employment agreement related to a termination other than for cause or disability within one year of a change of control.
The Agreement also provides for the delivery of a release by Mr. Borick; continuation of covenants by Mr. Borick found in his employment agreement related to confidentiality, records, non-solicitation and non-disparagement; Mr. Borick's cooperation in connection with the transition of his duties to a new president or chief executive officer; the Company maintaining current directors' and officers' liability insurance policies; and reimbursement of Mr. Borick's reasonable attorneys fees in connection with the Agreement.
The Agreement will become effective within seven days of Mr. Borick signing it, provided that he does not revoke it prior to such time pursuant to his right to do so under the terms of the Agreement.
The Company issued a press release on October 14, 2013 regarding Mr. Borick's scheduled retirement. Such press release is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
