On March 11, 2024, the compensation committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the board of directors of Xerox Holdings Corporation (together with Xerox Corporation, the “Company”) approved an amendment and restatement of the Officer Severance Program, which was originally established effective July 18, 2018 and subsequently amended effective January 18, 2020 and February 17, 2021 (the “Prior OSP,” and, as amended and restated, the “A&R OSP”).
The A&R OSP amends the Prior OSP to (i) extend the termination date of the program from December 31, 2024 to December 31, 2026, with automatic renewal on each January 1 thereafter for an additional
one-year
period unless the Company notifies the eligible officers under the program of its intent to terminate the program, (ii) add a “termination for good reason” (as defined in the A&R OSP) as a payment trigger for eligible officers serving as the Chief Executive Officer or the President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, and (iii) provide for continued vesting of any outstanding equity awards under the Company’s Performance Incentive Plan for eligible officers serving as the Chief Executive Officer or the President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, in the event of such officer’s “termination for good reason” or any involuntary termination other than for “cause.”
Under the A&R OSP, in the event that an eligible officer experiences an involuntary termination other than for “cause” or, for the Chief Executive Officer or the President and Chief Operating Officer, a “termination for good reason,” the affected executive is eligible to receive (i) continued payment of base salary for one year (or, in the case of the Chief Executive Officer, two years), (ii) continuation of health and welfare benefits at similarly situated active employee rates during the salary continuance period, (iii) a prorated annual incentive award for the year of termination, and (iv) for eligible officers other than the Chief Executive Officer or the President and Chief Operating Officer, continued vesting of outstanding equity awards for the salary continuance period, at the Compensation Committee’s discretion, or for the Chief Executive Officer or the President and Chief Operating Officer, continued vesting of outstanding equity awards through the full term of each award, with performance awards being subject to the full performance period and paid based upon actual performance. The receipt of the severance benefits under the A&R OSP is conditioned on the executive’s execution of a release of claims in favor of the Company and a
non-compete
and
non-solicitation
agreement.
The foregoing description of the A&R OSP does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the A&R OSP, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form
8-K
and incorporated herein by reference.
