On March 9, 2012, the Organization and Compensation Committee of the Franklin Covey Co. (the Company) Board of Directors approved a new change in control severance agreement (the Severance Agreement) for its executive officers and certain other members of senior management. Following a change in control of the Company, participants in the Severance Agreement are eligible to receive a lump sum payment equal to their annual total targeted compensation and may receive reimbursement of medical and dental insurance premiums to secure benefit coverage continuation. The following executive officers are covered by the Severance Agreement.
|
·
|
Robert A. Whitman – Chief Executive Officer
|
|
·
|
Stephen D. Young – Chief Financial Officer
|
|
·
|
M. Sean Covey – Executive Vice President of Global Solutions and Partnerships
|
|
·
|
Shawn D. Moon – Executive Vice President of Global Sales and Delivery
|
|
·
|
C. Todd Davis – Executive Vice President and Chief People Officer
|
The Severance Agreement terminates when a participant ceases to be an executive officer or a senior officer, unless the participant is entitled to payment of severance benefits as provided in the Severance Agreement. The provisions of the Severance Agreement are substantially the same as those found in the previously existing change in control severance plan that was disclosed in the Company’s most recent Proxy Statement filed with the SEC on December 22, 2011. The previous change in control severance plan expired on March 10, 2012.
The foregoing description of the Severance Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Severance Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto.
