Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On July 31, 2024, Etsy, Inc. ("Etsy") issued a press release announcing its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and is hereby incorporated by reference.
Information in Item 2.02 and Exhibit 99.1 of this Form 8-K shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise incorporated by reference into any filing pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as otherwise expressly stated in such filing.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On July 25, 2024, Rachel Glaser, Etsy’s Chief Financial Officer, notified Etsy that she has decided to retire. Ms. Glaser is currently expected to remain Etsy’s Chief Financial Officer until the earlier of when a successor is appointed or April 1, 2025, and then serve in an advisory capacity through June 30, 2025 to support continuity and a smooth transition.
On July 31, 2024, Ms. Glaser and Etsy entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) governing the terms of her remaining period of service to Etsy. The Letter Agreement provides for continuing base salary at her current rate through April 1, 2025, management cash incentive program eligibility for 2024, and her outstanding equity awards continuing to vest in accordance with their terms. In exchange for advisory services and a general release of all claims in favor of Etsy, beginning in April 2025, Ms. Glaser will receive an advisory fee equal to $27,000 per month during the period that she serves in an advisory capacity, the costs of continuation coverage under Etsy’s group healthcare plans through October 31, 2025, and any stock options vested and outstanding on her retirement date will remain exercisable until the earlier of 18 months following April 1, 2025 or the original stock option expiration dates.
This description of the Letter Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Letter Agreement. A copy of the Letter Agreement is expected to be filed as an exhibit to Etsy’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending September 30, 2024.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains or references forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements include statements relating to the timing of Ms. Glaser’s retirement and her future advisory role. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terms such as "could," "expect," "intend," "may," "plan," "will," or similar expressions and derivative forms and/or the negatives of those words.
Forward-looking statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those that we expect. These risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to the timing of Ms. Glaser’s retirement and transition. Other risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those that Etsy expects are more fully described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, and subsequent reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, achievements, or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will occur.
Forward-looking statements represent our beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this report. We disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements.
