Explanatory Note
| Item 5.02 | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. |
Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Mr. Marx will receive an annual base salary of $1,250,000 and an annual target bonus equal to no less than one-hundred-and-fifty percent of his base salary (and with a maximum payout of 200% of the target bonus amount). Mr. Marx is also eligible to participate in employee benefit plans and programs consistent with those provided generally to similarly-situated executives from time to time.
To offset incentive opportunities forfeited from his prior employer, Mr. Marx will receive a sign-on cash bonus in an amount equal to €412,500 no later April 30, 2025, provided that Mr. Marx remains continuously employed through that date. Mr. Marx will also receive a grant of restricted share units (the “the Initial RSU Award”) with an initial grant date value of $11,920,000, with approximately $6,970,000 of such amount vesting on February 28, 2025 and approximately $4,950,000 vesting on February 28, 2026, subject in each case to satisfactory performance and continued employment with CNH as of each such date. Mr. Marx will also be eligible for annual long-term incentive awards in the form of performance share units, with a target grant date value of $9,000,000.
Under the Employment Agreement, upon a termination of employment without Cause or for Good Reason other than on or within 24 months after a Change of Control (as each such term is defined in the Employment Agreement), Mr. Marx will receive cash severance equal to 12 months base salary as of the termination date (the “Cash Severance”), payable in equal installments over 12 months. In addition, a prorated portion of Mr. Marx’s equity and long-term incentive awards would be eligible to vest, based on the time employed during the employment period and subject to any applicable performance conditions; provided that no less than two-thirds of the Initial RSU Award will be vested (taking into account any portion that vested and settled prior to the termination). Upon a termination of employment without Cause or for Good Reason on or within 24 months after a Change of Control, Mr. Marx will receive the Cash Severance, payable 60 days after termination, and full vesting of equity and long-term incentive awards, at the target level of performance (if applicable). Severance and post-termination vesting benefits payable pursuant to the Employment Agreement are subject to Mr. Marx’s execution and non-revocation of a release of claims and compliance with restrictive covenants, including non-solicitation and non-competition covenants that continue for one year following a termination of employment.
The foregoing description of the Employment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Employment Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
