On June 11, 2015, Brandon O’Brien tendered his resignation as Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) of ZAGG Inc (the “Company”). His resignation is not the result of any disagreement with the Company on matters relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. Under the terms of a Separation and Release Agreement entered into by the Company and Mr. O’Brien in connection with his departure, the Company agreed, among other things, to (a) pay Mr. O’Brien separation pay in the amount of $200,000 in twelve (12) equal semi-monthly installments of $16,666.67, less applicable withholding, commencing on the Company’s first regular payday following the effective date of the Separation Agreement, (b) deliver free and clear title to that certain 2007 Fleetwood Fiesta LX motorhome owned by the Company in lieu of Mr. O’Brien’s 2015 Q2 incentive bonus, (c) make a one-time payment in the amount of $10,000 to a scholarship fund of Mr. O’Brien’s choosing within twenty (20) days of the effective date of the Separation Agreement, and (d) allow 15,206 time-based restricted stock units previously granted to Mr. O’Brien to vest on September 21, 2015 rather being forfeited upon the separation. In addition, under the Separation Agreement, if Mr. O’Brien properly and timely elects to continue the medical and dental insurance coverage for him and his family under the Company’s group medical and dental plans (collectively, “Continuation Coverage”) pursuant the COBRA, the Company will pay that portion of the premium for such Continuation Coverage that equals the portion of the premium that the Company paid for the medical and dental insurance coverage for Mr. O’Brien while he was employed by the Company, until December 31, 2015. The foregoing obligations of the Company are subject to Mr. O’Brien’s fulfillment of his promises, covenants, agreements, waivers and releases contained in the Separation Agreement, including without limitation, his obligation to provide certain consulting services to the Company through December 31, 2015.

The Compensation Addendum attached hereto as Exhibit A describes certain components of your compensation for the 2015 fiscal year and is pro-rated from the effective date. Annually thereafter during the term of your employment you will be provided with a new Compensation Addendum which will set forth the elements of your compensation for the applicable fiscal year as approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. After you receive and sign or otherwise agree to, including by continuing your employment with the Company, the compensation terms set forth in such subsequent versions of the Compensation Addendum, such terms shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference. You will be compensated for your services to the Company and its Affiliates, subject to your full performance of your obligations hereunder, as described in the applicable Compensation Addendum, as follows:

(b)                Target Performance Cash Potential: Your Target Performance Cash Potential is described in the Compensation Addendum and is pro-rated from the effective date.

Unless otherwise expressly set forth in the Compensation Addendum for any applicable fiscal year, (i) the earned portion of the Target Performance Cash Potential will be paid within 90 days after the close of the fiscal year, (ii) the Company reserves the right to amend, change, or cancel any Target Performance Cash Potential arrangement in its sole discretion and (iii) you must be employed through the date the Target Performance Cash Potential is paid in order to be eligible to receive it.

(c)                 Target Performance Equity Potential: Your Target Performance Equity Potential is described in the Compensation Addendum and is pro-rated from the effective date.

Your participation will be subject to the terms of the applicable plan documents and generally applicable Company policies, as the same may be in effect from time to time, and any other restrictions or limitations imposed by law, including without limitation, applicable tax rules. You will accrue paid vacation in accordance with the Company's vacation policy in the amount of four (4) weeks per year. The Company reserves the right to cancel or change the benefit plans and programs it offers to its employees at any time.

(g)                Withholding: All payments made by the Company under this Agreement shall be reduced by any tax or other amounts required to be withheld by the Company under applicable law.

                     4.             Voluntary Termination. In the event that you voluntarily resign from your employment with the Company or any of its Affiliates without Good Reason (as defined in Paragraph 5) or in the event that your employment terminates as a result of your death or Disability (as defined in Paragraph 6(c)), you will be entitled to no compensation or benefits from the Company other than those earned under Paragraph 3 through the date of your termination. You agree that if you voluntarily terminate your employment with the Company without Good Reason, you will provide the Company with 90 days' written notice of your resignation. The Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive all or any part of such notice period and accept your resignation at an earlier date.

                     5.            Resignation for Good Reason. During the first twelve (12) months of your employment with the Company, you may terminate your employment for Good Reason within thirty (30) days of the event constituting Good Reason by delivering to the Company a notice specifying that you are terminating your employment for Good Reason, setting forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances you claim give you Good Reason, and giving the Company thirty (30) days to cure the circumstances you claim give you Good Reason. If you deliver such a notice and the Company fails to cure the circumstances you claim give you Good Reason within thirty (30) days resulting in a Separation (as defined in paragraph 6(c)) then the Company shall pay you the same severance you would have received if your employment had been terminated without cause pursuant Paragraph 6(b) of this Agreement, provided however, that you must sign a general release of known and unknown claims in a form satisfactory to the Company in order to receive such severance. For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" shall mean any of the following events if effected by the Company without your consent within twelve (12) months of the Hiring Date: (i) a change in your position with the Company which materially diminishes your duties, responsibilities, or authority; (ii) a material diminution of your Base Salary; (iii) a relocation of your principal place of employment by more than forty (40) miles; (iv) a material breach of this Agreement by the Company; or (v) the Company's failure to secure the written assumption of its material obligations under this Agreement from any successor to the Company. 

  6.              Other Termination. Your employment may be terminated under the circumstances set forth below.

(a)                Termination for Cause : If your employment is terminated by the Company for cause as defined below, you shall be entitled to no compensation or benefits from the Company other than those earned under Paragraph 3 through the date of your termination for cause. For purposes of this Agreement, a termination "for cause" occurs if you are terminated for any of the following reasons: (i) theft, dishonesty or falsification of any employment or Company records; (ii) improper disclosure of the Company's confidential or proprietary information resulting in damage to the Company; (iii) any action or inaction by you which has a material detrimental effect on the Company's reputation or business; (iv) your failure or inability to perform any assigned duties after written notice from the Company to you of, and a reasonable opportunity to cure, such failure or inability; (v) your conviction (including any plea of guilty or no contest) of a felony, or of any other criminal act if that act impairs your ability to perform your duties under this Agreement or (vi) your failure to cooperate in good faith with a governmental or internal investigation of the Company or its directors, officers or employees, if the Company has requested your cooperation. For purposes of this paragraph only, "Company" shall mean ZAGG and its Affiliates.  

2
 

(b)                Termination Without Cause: As indicated above, your employment by the Company is "at will." If a Separation occurs because your employment is terminated by the Company without cause (and not as a result of your death or Disability), and if you sign a general release of known and unknown claims in form satisfactory to the Company, you will receive severance payments equal to your current compensation ("Severance Pay") , less applicable withholding, for twelve (12) months after the date of the separation. Your "current compensation" shall mean the sum of your base salary plus your current annual targeted bonus. The Company will deliver the form of release to you within thirty (30) days after your Separation. You must execute and return the release within the period set forth in the prescribed form. The Severance Pay will commence within thirty (30) days after you return the signed release. During the severance period, the Company will also pay the premiums to continue your group health insurance coverage under COBRA if you are eligible for COBRA and have elected continuation coverage under the applicable rules. However, the Company's COBRA obligations shall immediately cease to the extent you become eligible for benefits from a subsequent employer.

( b)               Definition of Separation. For purposes of this Agreement, " Separation " means a "separation from service," as defined in the regulations under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code" ). For purposes of this Agreement, " Disability " means (i) your inability, by reason of physical or mental illness or other cause, to perform your duties hereunder on a full-time basis for a period of 90 days in any one year period, or (ii) in the discretion of the Board, as such term is defined in any disability insurance policy in effect at the Company during the time in question.

(c)               Commencement of Payments. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, each salary continuation payment under Paragraph 5 or 6(b) above is hereby designated as a separate payment. If the Company determines that you are a "specified employee" under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code at the time of your Separation, then (i) the salary continuation payments under Paragraph 5 or 6(b) above, to the extent that they are subject to Section 409A of the Code, will commence during the seventh month after your Separation and (ii) the installments that otherwise would have been paid during the first six months after your Separation will be paid in a lump sum when the salary continuation payments commence.

ZAGG Announces Bradley J. Holiday as Chief Financial Officer

 

 

SALT LAKE CITY, June 11, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ZAGG Inc (Nasdaq: ZAGG), a leading mobile device accessories company with a brand portfolio that includes ZAGG and iFrogz, today announced that Bradley J. Holiday has been appointed ZAGG’s Chief Financial Officer, effective July 13, 2015. Mr. Holiday is an accomplished global financial executive with a proven track record of success in the CFO role with leading consumer product companies.

 

Most recently Mr. Holiday, who has been a ZAGG Board member since 2012, served as CFO for Callaway Golf Company from 2000 until 2015, where he was instrumental in helping Callaway rebrand its name and lead a strategic transformation. In addition, Mr. Holiday was CFO of the Nike Golf Division from 1998 to 2000, and Nike’s retail division from 1995 to 1998 where he grew the division from $500 million to almost $1 billion in revenue.

 

"I am pleased to welcome Brad to the ZAGG management team. As a result of his almost three years as a ZAGG board member, we know Brad is an outstanding leader and brings experience in all aspects of accounting and finance,” stated Randy Hales, president and CEO of ZAGG.  “In his role at ZAGG, we expect that Brad will expand the use of analytics to improve the company’s performance, improve the rigor of cost management disciplines, and support our strategic growth objectives. In addition, his prior experience at large, multinational consumer retail companies will be particularly beneficial as we continue to expand our global distribution."

 

Mr. Holiday joined the ZAGG board of directors in August of 2012 and during his tenure served as the Audit Committee Chair. Effective July 13, 2015, Mr. Holiday will resign as chair and member of the Audit Committee and as a member of the Nominating and Governance Committee but will continue to serve on the Board of Directors until a replacement is appointed. Chairperson of the Board, Cheryl A. Larabee will become Audit Committee Chair upon Mr. Holiday’s resignation.

 

Brandon O’Brien has resigned his position as CFO effective June 11, 2015 with plans to retire. Mr. O’Brien is leaving the company on excellent terms. His resignation is not the result of any disagreement with ZAGG on matters relating to ZAGG’s operations, policies or practices.

 

"Brandon was instrumental in ZAGG becoming publicly traded in 2007, the company’s cross listing to Nasdaq in 2009, and leading the accounting and finance team over the past eight years," said Mr. Hales. "It has been a pleasure to work closely with Brandon and all of us extend our sincere appreciation for his contributions while at ZAGG."
