(b) | The information set forth under Item 5.02(e) of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference. |
(e) On March 29, 2019, Shutterfly, Inc. (the Company) entered into a Transition Agreement (the Transition Agreement) for transition services through October 15, 2019 (the Transition Period) with Michael Meek, who will be stepping down from his role as the President and Chief Executive Officer of Lifetouch Inc. (Lifetouch) to pursue other activities. The Company has initiated efforts to identify a new President of Lifetouch.
Pursuant to the Transition Agreement, Mr. Meeks termination of employment constitutes Good Reason (as defined in Mr. Meeks Change in Control Severance Agreement (the CIC Agreement)) and he will receive his base salary as currently in effect while he provides services during the Transition Period. Upon Mr. Meeks termination of employment at the end of the Transition Period, or if prior to the end of the Transition Period, Mr. Meeks employment with the Company is terminated by the Company other than for Cause (as defined in the CIC Agreement), Mr. Meek shall be entitled to receive: (a) a lump sum cash payment equal to two (2) times the sum of (i) his base salary, plus (ii) his target incentive bonus at the time of the Lifetouch acquisition, (b) a lump sum cash payment equal to the applicable employer portion of health benefit and insurance premium payments for 24 months; and (c) 12 months of executive-level outplacement services with a provider selected by the Company. As provided in his January 12, 2018 Offer Letter with the Company (which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 10.22 to the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018), Mr. Meek will be entitled to a prorated portion of the retention bonus he was granted, based on the number of months Mr. Meek is employed by Lifetouch and Shutterfly following the effective date of the Lifetouch acquisition. Mr. Meek is required to sign a release of claims to receive the payments and acceleration benefits described above.
Pursuant to the terms of certain obligations the Company assumed in its acquisition of Lifetouch and upon separation of employment, Mr. Meek will be entitled to the accelerated vesting of phantom stock awards made by Lifetouch in September 2017; this payment will be made on or about December 15, 2019.
The foregoing description of the Transition Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Transition Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
A copy of the CIC Agreement detailing the terms of Mr. Meeks severance benefits upon a change in control is filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Copies of the phantom stock unit agreements detailing the obligations the Company assumed in its acquisition of Lifetouch are filed as Exhibit 99.3 and Exhibit 99.4 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
