Change in Directors or Principal Officers, Submission of Matters to a Vote of Securit
On March 5, 2013, Hologic, Inc. ("Hologic" or the "Company") entered into a Severance and Change of Control Agreement with Mark J. Casey, Chief Administrative Officer, Senior Vice President and General Counsel (the "Change of Control Agreement"). The Change of Control Agreement supersedes and replaces a prior change of control agreement entered into with Mr. Casey.
The Change of Control Agreement provides that if a change of control occurs
during its term, and within the three-year period following the consummation of
such change of control (the "Employment Period"), the Company terminates the
employment of Mr. Casey for reasons other than death, disability (as defined) or
cause (as defined), or Mr. Casey resigns for good reason (as defined), then
(i) Mr. Casey shall have the right to receive a lump sum cash payment equal to
his accrued compensation through the date of termination of his employment,
(ii) Mr. Casey shall be entitled to receive, within 30 days of the date of
termination of his employment, a lump sum cash payment equal to the product of
2.99 times the sum of his annual base salary and highest annual bonus, and
(iii) all of Mr. Casey's stock options, restricted stock units and other equity
awards will become immediately and fully vested, and any options (or other
similar awards) shall remain exercisable for the shorter of the remaining term
of the award or a period of one year following Mr. Casey's termination. The term
"highest annual bonus" is defined as the greater of (i) the average of annual
bonuses paid to Mr. Casey over the three fiscal years preceding the fiscal year
in which the change of control occurs, (ii) the annual bonus paid to Mr. Casey
in the fiscal year preceding the fiscal year in which the change of control
occurs, or (iii) the maximum bonus award opportunity determined in accordance
with the Company's bonus plan for the fiscal year preceding the fiscal year in
which the change of control occurs. The Company will also continue to provide
health and dental benefits to Mr. Casey for the remaining term of the Employment
Period. The Change of Control Agreement does not provide for any change of
control benefits, including the acceleration of equity awards, if Mr. Casey
remains employed by the Company or voluntarily terminates his employment (other
than a resignation for good reason).
If Mr. Casey dies or Mr. Casey's employment is terminated by reason of disability during the Employment Period, then he, or his heirs or estate, is entitled to be paid an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid compensation through the date of termination, pro-rata highest annual bonus (as defined) based on the number of days elapsed during the fiscal year through the date of termination, continuation of certain welfare benefits for the remaining term of the Employment Period and a cash payment equal to the sum of his annual base salary and the highest annual bonus.
If other than in relation to a change of control as described above, the Company terminates the employment of Mr. Casey without cause or Mr. Casey resigns for good reason then Mr. Casey shall be entitled to receive certain benefits, including (i) a lump sum cash payment equal to his accrued compensation through the date of termination of his employment, (ii) a pro-rated bonus for the year in which employment is terminated, (iii) a one-year continuation of his base salary and payment of an amount equal to the average of annual bonuses paid to him over the preceding three fiscal years divided by the number of payroll periods during such one-year severance period, and (iv) a one-year continuation of his medical and dental benefits.
If Mr. Casey is entitled to a payment or benefit under the Change of Control Agreement that is subject to a Section 280G excise tax, there will be no excise tax gross-up and the change of control payments and benefits shall be limited to the following, whichever yields the highest net after-tax amount: (i) the amount of any payments, benefits or other compensation (collectively the "Company Payments") provided by the Change of Control Agreement, or (ii) one dollar less than the amount of the Company Payments that would subject Mr. Casey to the excise tax imposed by Section 280G.
The initial term of the Change of Control Agreement extends until December 31, 2015; provided, that, commencing on December 31, 2014 and each December 31st thereafter, the term of the agreement will automatically be extended for an additional three years unless, not later than thirty (30) days prior to each December 31, the Company provides notice that it does not wish to extend the Change of Control Agreement. If the Company provides such notice, then the agreement will continue in effect for a period of two years from the applicable December 31.
The above description of the Change of Control Agreement does not purport to be complete and it is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Change of Control Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this report as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.
