Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On December 27, 2021, Mirion Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) approved various compensation-related items for certain of the Company’s senior executives, including compensation packages and agreements for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s other named executive officers (collectively, the “NEOs”).

 

Chief Executive Officer Amended Employment Agreement

 

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) recommended for approval, and the Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved, an amendment effective as of December 27, 2021 (the “Employment Agreement Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement dated August 13, 2021 between the Company and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Thomas Logan (the “Employment Agreement”). The Employment Agreement Amendment provides for a base salary of $700,000 and a target bonus of 100% of base salary (with the potential to earn up to 150% of base salary). The Employment Agreement Amendment also provides that, beginning in calendar year 2022 and for each subsequent calendar year occurring during Mr. Logan’s employment term, Mr. Logan will be eligible to be considered for annual long-term equity incentive grants having a target total grant date value equal to $2,700,000 (which, for calendar year 2022, will be in the form of two-thirds time-vesting restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and one-third performance-vesting restricted stock units (“PSUs”)). As described more fully below, Mr. Logan also received an equity grant on December 27, 2021 with a total target grant date fair value of $6,000,000.

 

Pursuant to his Employment Agreement Amendment, Mr. Logan will also be entitled to continued base salary payments for a period of twenty-four months following a termination of employment without “cause” or a resignation for “good reason” (as each term is defined in the Employment Agreement). Alternatively, in the event that Mr. Logan’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause or he resigns for good reason within twenty-four months immediately following a change in control that occurs after January 1, 2022, Mr. Logan will be entitled to two (2) times the sum of (A) his base salary and (B) his target bonus, which amount shall be paid in equal installments over twenty-four months.

 

The Employment Agreement Amendment also replaced the provision in Mr. Logan’s existing employment agreement that provided him with a tax gross-up in the event excise taxes are imposed on him under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 4999”) with a “best net” provision. In the event Mr. Logan is entitled to receive amounts that would otherwise result in the imposition of excise taxes on him under Section 4999, such payments will be either (i) reduced to a level that will not trigger the imposition of Section 4999 excise taxes or (2) if the net after-tax amount Mr. Logan would retain after the imposition of such additional taxes would be greater, paid to him in full.

 

The foregoing description of the Employment Agreement Amendment is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Employment Agreement Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Other NEO Amended Employment Agreements

 

On December 27, 2021, the Committee approved amendments to the employment agreements for Brian Schopfer and Michael Freed that provide for enhanced severance entitlements in the event of a qualifying termination of employment in connection with a change in control. Under the amendments to their employment agreements, in the event Mr. Schopfer or Mr. Freed are terminated by the Company without cause or they resign for good reason within twelve months immediately following a change in control that occurs after January 1, 2022, they will be entitled to one (1) times the sum of (A) their base salary and (B) their target bonus. Each of the employment agreements was also amended to provide that in the event the executive is entitled to receive amounts that would otherwise result in the imposition of excise taxes on him under Section 4999, such payments will be either (1) reduced to a level that will not trigger the imposition of Section 4999 excise taxes or (2) if the net after-tax amount the executive would retain after the imposition of such additional taxes would be greater, paid to him in full The foregoing description of the amendments to the employment agreements are qualified in their entirety by the full text of such agreements, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.2 and 10.3 and are incorporated herein by reference.

The Committee also approved revised compensation packages for Messrs. Schopfer and Freed, which are described below. The new base salaries are effective as of December 27, 2021 and short-term incentive compensation levels are effective for the 2022 calendar year.

    Short-Term Incentive Compensation

Brian Schopfer

Michael Freed

Chief Operating Officer 

  $ 412,000     Target of 50% of Base Salary (Maximum of 100% of Base Salary)

 

In addition to the foregoing, the Committee approved the following equity grants to the NEOs, which grants were made on December 27, 2021: (i) an equity grant with a target total grant date value equal to $6,000,000 for Mr. Logan, $4,000,000 of which will be granted in the form of RSUs and $2,000,000 of which will be granted in the form of PSUs, and (ii) an equity grant with a target total grant date value equal to $1,200,000 for Mr. Schopfer, $800,000 of which will be granted in the form of RSUs and $400,000 of which will be granted in the form of PSUs. The RSUs will vest in four equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date, and the PSUs will vest following the end of a three-year performance period subject to the achievement of specified performance goals in respect of relative total shareholder return and organic revenue growth. The Committee also approved a special short-term incentive bonus to Mr. Freed with a target value of $150,000, to be paid in two installments subject to (i) the achievement of specified levels based on the Company’s budgeted performance, and (ii) his continued employment through each of the applicable payment dates.

 

Short-Term Incentive Compensation Program

 

On December 27, 2021, the Committee also adopted and approved the terms of the Company’s executive short-term incentive compensation program (the “STIP”), which will govern the terms of annual cash incentive awards granted to eligible executives of the Company (including each of the Company’s current NEOs), as determined by the Committee from time to time. The Committee (or its delegate) will administer the STIP and will have the authority to determine all of the terms of the awards granted under the STIP.

 

Payments under the STIP are based on the achievement of specified performance goals, including 50% on EBITDA, 30% on Organic Revenue Growth and 20% on Free Cash Flow. Following the end of the performance period, the Committee will determine achievement of the performance goals. The specific targets relating to the performance goals will be set in connection with the establishment of the Company’s budget for the 2022 calendar year.

1.AMENDMENTS

 

(a)Section 8(c) is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:

 

Termination Without Cause; Termination Without Cause in Connection with a Change in Control. If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company at any time during the Employment Period without Cause (with certain enhancements pursuant to Section 8(c)(i) if such termination occurs within twelve (12) months immediately following a Change in Control (as such term is defined in the Incentive Plan) that occurs after January 1, 2022), Executive shall be entitled to receive Executive’s Base Salary through the date of termination as well as any accrued benefits through the date of termination which may be owing in accordance with the Company’s policies. All other Company obligations to Executive pursuant to this Agreement will become automatically terminated and completely extinguished. Upon termination without Cause, Executive will also be entitled to the following from the Company: (i) payment of an amount equal to Executive’s then current Base Salary for a period of twelve (12) months following Executive’s termination (the “Severance Period”), payable in accordance with the usual payroll policies in effect at the Company as if Executive was employed at the time, commencing on the first payroll date occurring sixty (60) days from the date of termination; provided however that, if Executive’s termination of employment pursuant to this Section 8(c) occurs within twelve (12) months immediately following a Change in Control that occurs after

 

 

 

January 1, 2022, Executive shall instead be entitled to one (1) times the sum of (A) his Base Salary and (B) his target amount of his Incentive Bonus (the “Target Bonus”), which amount shall be paid in equal installments over the Severance Period in accordance with the usual payroll policies in effect at the Company as if Executive was employed at the time, commencing on the first payroll date occurring sixty (60) days from the date of termination; provided, further that any such payments under this Section 8(c)(i) that otherwise would be paid prior to the date that the release contemplated by Section 8(h) (the “Release”) becomes effective instead shall be paid within fifteen (15) business days after such effective date, and the remaining such payments shall be paid over the remainder of the Severance Period; provided, further, that if the period during which Executive may execute and revoke the Release begins in one calendar year and ends in the next calendar year, then any such payments that otherwise would be paid in such first calendar year instead shall be paid during the first fifteen business days of such next calendar year; (ii) a pro rata portion of Executive’s Incentive Bonus, if any, for the applicable period during the fiscal year ending on the date of termination (which portion of the Incentive Bonus shall be reasonably determined by the Board of Directors at the end of the applicable bonus period), payable at the same time as such payment would be made during Executive’s regular employment with the Company; and (iii) continued payment by the Company, for a period equal to the lesser of (A) the Severance Period and (B) such time that Executive commences employment with a new employer and becomes eligible to participate in that employer’s health care benefits plan, of the group health continuation coverage premiums for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents under Title X of the Consolidated Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”) provided that Executive elects to continue and remains eligible for these benefits under COBRA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the payment of the COBRA premiums would result in a violation of the nondiscrimination rules of Section 105(h)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended or any statute or regulation of similar effect (including but not limited to the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the 2010 Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act), then in lieu of reimbursing the COBRA premiums, the Company, in its sole discretion, may elect to instead pay Executive on the first day of each month, a fully taxable cash payment equal to the COBRA premiums for that month, subject to applicable tax withholdings (such amount, the “Special Severance Payment”), for the remainder of the Severance Period. Executive may, but is not obligated to, use such Special Severance Payment toward the cost of COBRA premiums.

 

(b)Section 8(e) is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:

 

Termination by Executive for Good Reason; Termination by Executive for Good Reason in Connection with a Change in Control.

be entitled to the following from the Company: (i) payment of an amount equal to Executive’s then current Base Salary for the Severance Period, payable in accordance with the usual payroll policies in effect at the Company as if Executive was employed at the time, commencing on the first payroll date occurring sixty (60) days from the date of termination; provided however that, if Executive’s termination of employment pursuant to this Section 8(e) occurs within twelve (12) months immediately following a Change in Control that occurs after January 1, 2022, Executive shall instead be entitled to one (1) times the sum of (A) his Base Salary and (B) his Target Bonus, which amount shall be paid in equal installments over the Severance Period in accordance with the usual payroll policies in effect at the Company as if Executive was employed at the time, commencing on the first payroll date occurring sixty (60) days from the date of termination; provided, further that any such payments under this Section 8(e)(i) that otherwise would be paid prior to the date that the Release becomes effective instead shall be paid within five (5) business days after such effective date, and the remaining such payments shall be paid over the remainder of the Severance Period; provided, further, that if the period during which Executive may execute and revoke the Release begins in one calendar year and ends in the next calendar year, then any such payments that otherwise would be paid in such first calendar year instead shall be paid during the first fifteen business days of such next calendar year; (ii) a pro rata portion of Executive’s Incentive Bonus, if any, for the applicable period during the fiscal year ending on the date of termination (which portion of the Incentive Bonus shall be reasonably determined by the Board of Directors at the end of the applicable bonus period), payable at the same time as such payment would be made during Executive’s regular employment with the Company; and (iii) continued payment by the Company, for a period equal to the lesser of (A) the Severance Period and (B) such time that Executive commences employment with a new employer and becomes eligible to participate in that employer’s health care benefits plan, of the group health continuation coverage premiums for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents under COBRA provided that Executive elects to continue and remains eligible for these benefits under COBRA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the payment of the COBRA premiums would result in a violation of the nondiscrimination rules of Section 105(h)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended or any statute or regulation of similar effect (including but not limited to the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the 2010 Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act), then in lieu of reimbursing the COBRA premiums, the Company, in its sole discretion, may elect to instead pay Executive on the first day of each month, the Special Severance Payment, for the remainder of the Severance Period. Executive may, but is not obligated to, use such Special Severance Payment toward the cost of COBRA premiums.

 

(c)A new Section 22 is hereby added as follows:

 

Code Section 280G. To the extent that any of the payments and benefits provided for under this Agreement together with any payments or benefits under any other agreement or arrangement between the Company and Executive (collectively, the “Payments”) would constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, the amount of such Payments shall be reduced to the amount that would result in no portion of the Payments being subject to the excise tax imposed pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code if and only if such reduction would provide Executive with an after-tax amount greater than if there was no reduction.  Unless the Company and Executive otherwise agree, any determination required under this Section 22 shall be made in

 

3 

 

writing in good faith by the Company’s independent accounting firm or such other nationally or regionally recognized accounting firm selected by the Company (the “Accountants”), whose determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Executive and the Company for all purposes. Any reduction shall be done in a manner that maximizes the amount to be retained by Executive, provided that to the extent any order is required to be set forth herein, then such reduction shall be applied in the following order: (i) payments that are payable in cash that are valued at full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24(a) will be reduced (if necessary, to zero), with amounts that are payable last reduced first; (ii) payments due in respect of any equity valued at full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24(a) will be reduced next (if necessary, to zero), with amounts that are payable or deliverable last reduced first; (iii) payments that are payable in cash that are valued at less than full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G- 1, Q&A 24 will be reduced next (if necessary, to zero), with the highest values reduced first (as such values are determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24); (iv) payments due in respect of any equity valued at less than full value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24 will be reduced next (if necessary, to zero), with the highest values reduced first (as such values are determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q&A 24); and (v) all other non-cash benefits not otherwise described in clauses (ii) or (iv) of this Section 22 will be next reduced pro rata. The Company and Executive shall furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 22. The Company shall bear all costs that the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 22.

 

2.EFFECTIVENESS OF AMENDMENT; COUNTERPARTS

 

This Amendment shall become effective on the Effective Date. Except as amended by the terms of this Amendment, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. This Amendment may be executed by electronic transmission (i.e., facsimile or electronically transmitted portable document (PDF) or DocuSign or similar electronic signature) and in counterparts any one of which need not contain the signature of more than one Party, but all such counterparts taken together will constitute one and the same instrument.

(a)Section 8(c) is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:

 

Termination Without Cause; Termination Without Cause in Connection with a Change in Control. If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company at any time during the Employment Period without Cause (with certain enhancements pursuant to Section 8(c)(i) if such termination occurs within twelve (12) months immediately following a Change in Control (as such term is defined in the Incentive Plan) that occurs after January 1, 2022), Executive shall be entitled to receive Executive’s Base Salary through the date of termination as well as any accrued benefits through the date of termination which may be owing in accordance with the Company’s policies.

All other Company obligations to Executive pursuant to this Agreement will become automatically terminated and completely extinguished.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the payment of the COBRA premiums would result in a violation of the nondiscrimination rules of Section 105(h)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended or any statute or regulation of similar effect (including but not limited to the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the 2010 Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act), then in lieu of reimbursing the COBRA premiums, the Company, in its sole discretion, may elect to instead pay Executive on the first day of each month, the Special Severance Payment, for the remainder of the Severance Period.
