Item 5.02 — Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On September 12, 2024, T-Mobile US, Inc. (“T-Mobile” or the “Company”) entered into a compensation letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with Peter Osvaldik, its Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, that provides for his continued employment with the Company. The material terms of the Letter Agreement are described below.
Mr. Osvaldik’s employment under the Letter Agreement will continue until July 2, 2026 (the “Expiration Date”). The Company may extend the term of Mr. Osvaldik’s employment under the Letter Agreement by providing him with written notice no later than 30 days prior to the Expiration Date, and Mr. Osvaldik will have 30 days to accept or decline the offer. If the Company does not provide Mr. Osvaldik with such an extension offer or Mr. Osvaldik does not timely accept such offer, then Mr. Osvaldik’s employment with the Company will terminate on the Expiration Date (a “Non-Extension Termination”).
Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, Mr. Osvaldik is entitled to (i) an annual base salary of no less than $975,000; (ii) an annual short-term cash incentive (“STI”) targeted at no less than 200% of Mr. Osvaldik’s eligible base earnings for the applicable calendar year, payable based on the attainment of pre-established performance goals; and (iii) annual long-term incentive (“LTI”) awards with an aggregate grant-date target value of no less than 250% of the sum of Mr. Osvaldik’s annual base salary and his target STI for the applicable calendar year.
The Letter Agreement provides that if Mr. Osvaldik’s employment terminates due to a Non-Extension Termination, then, subject to his timely execution and non-revocation of a release of claims and continued compliance with applicable restrictive covenants and cooperation obligations, he will be entitled to receive:
| • | a lump-sum payment, in cash and/or shares of Company common stock (as determined by the Company), equal to (i) 2.5x the target grant-date value of Mr. Osvaldik’s performance-based LTI award that was granted to him on July 5, 2023 (the “2023 Special PRSU Award”), as disclosed in the Company’s annual Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 26, 2024 (the “Target Grant-Date Value”), minus (ii) the aggregate dollar value of the portion of the 2023 Special PRSU Award that vests as of July 1, 2026 (determined based on the Company’s closing stock price on such vesting date); provided, that in no event will such payment exceed $10,000,000; |
| • | Company-paid health and dental benefit coverage for up to 18 months following such termination; and |
| • | continued eligibility for T-Mobile’s employee mobile service discount program. |
If Mr. Osvaldik’s employment is terminated by T-Mobile without “cause” or by Mr. Osvaldik for “good reason” (each as defined in the Letter Agreement) (each, a “qualifying termination”) prior to July 2, 2026, then, subject to his timely execution and non-revocation of a release of claims and continued compliance with applicable restrictive covenants and cooperation obligations, he will be entitled to receive:
| • | a lump-sum payment, in cash and/or shares of Company common stock (as determined by the Company), equal to (i) a pro-rated portion of the 2.5x the Target Grant-Date Value (based on the number of days that he was employed during the period beginning on the 2023 Special PRSU Award grant date and ending on the date of the qualifying termination), minus (ii) the aggregate dollar value of the portion of the 2023 Special PRSU Award that vests in connection with Mr. Osvaldik’s qualifying termination pursuant to the Letter Agreement (as described below and determined based on the Company’s closing stock price on such termination date); provided, that in no event will such payment exceed a pro-rated portion of $10,000,000 (based on the number of days that he was employed during the period beginning on the 2023 Special PRSU Award grant date and ending on the date of the qualifying termination); |
| • | Company-paid health and dental benefit coverage for up to 18 months following such termination; |
| • | continued eligibility for T-Mobile’s employee mobile service discount program; and |
| • | if the qualifying termination occurs prior to July 1, 2026, a portion of the 2023 Special PRSU Award will vest, determined by multiplying (x) the total number of shares or units, as applicable, subject to such award that would, absent Mr. Osvaldik’s termination of employment, become earned and vested based on actual performance attained during the performance period ending on the last day of the Company’s fiscal quarter ending immediately prior to the termination date by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days between the grant date and the date of such termination, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the full performance period. |
Under the Letter Agreement, upon Mr. Osvaldik’s termination due to a Non-Extension Termination or due to a qualifying termination at any time during the term of the Letter Agreement, Mr. Osvaldik will forfeit any outstanding and unvested LTI awards (after taking into account the accelerated vesting of the 2023 Special PRSU Award noted above), as well as his STI award for the calendar year of termination.
In addition, (i) the incentive compensation provided to Mr. Osvaldik under the Letter Agreement is subject to recovery by the Company in accordance with the Company’s Amended and Restated Executive Incentive Compensation Recoupment Policy or any other Company clawback or recoupment policy; and (ii) to the extent that any payment or benefit received by Mr. Osvaldik pursuant to the Letter Agreement or otherwise would be subject to an excise tax under Internal Revenue Code Section 4999, such payments and/or benefits will be subject to a “best pay cap” reduction if such reduction would result in a greater net after-tax benefit to Mr. Osvaldik than receiving the full amount of such payments.
The foregoing description of the Letter Agreement with Mr. Osvaldik is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Letter Agreement, a copy of which will be subsequently filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
