Item 5.02.    Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

As previously disclosed by NII Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), the Board of Directors approved an organizational restructuring of the Company to further streamline expenses by shifting the costs and associated responsibilities from the Company’s headquarters in Reston, Virginia to its operating subsidiary in Brazil. In connection with this restructuring, the Board of Directors approved a Form of Separation and Release Agreement (the “Agreement”) for certain executive officers of the Company. The Agreements, which are expected to be executed by these officers in the event of their termination of employment with the Company, were provided to the officers on November 13, 2015. On April 25, 2017, the Company announced that Roberto Rittes had joined the Company as Chief Executive Officer, Nextel Brazil. In connection with Mr. Rittes’ appointment, Steven Shindler, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, agreed to remain with the Company to assist with the management transition. On June 5, 2017, the Company and AINMT Holdings AB (“AINMT”), an international telecommunications company operating primarily in Norway under the “ice.net” brand, along with certain affiliates of the Company and AINMT, entered into an agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) to partner in the ownership of Nextel Brazil.

On July 25, 2017, in connection with the foregoing and in response to stockholder feedback on the Company’s executive compensation program expressed through an advisory say-on-pay vote at the Company’s annual meeting, and with the transition of Mr. Rittes into his new role complete, the Board approved a termination date of August 1, 2017 for Mr. Shindler. As provided in the Agreement, Mr. Shindler will receive 200% of his base salary on his severance date. He will also be eligible for earned benefits, including a cash bonus for the second quarter of 2017 at the same achievement level as other eligible employees if and when it is paid, and a payment for earned and unused vacation. Mr. Shindler also remains eligible for a bonus payment pursuant to the Key Employee Incentive Plan (“KEIP”) approved by the bankruptcy court in connection with the Company’s sale of its operations in Mexico pursuant to the terms and conditions of the KEIP, if and when payments are made to other eligible employees. In addition, Mr. Shindler has agreed to continue to serve as a point of contact for AINMT and to facilitate the closing of AINMT’s investment as contemplated in the Investment Agreement, and the Agreement with Mr. Shindler was amended to provide for an additional payment of 200% of his annual target bonus and 18 months of COBRA benefits should the Company complete a transaction that meets the definition of Change of Control as defined in the Company’s Change of Control Severance Plan on or before July 31, 2018. These additional benefits align with the additional benefits Mr. Shindler would have been eligible for under the Company’s Change of Control Severance Plan.

The description of Mr. Shindler’s Separation and Release Agreement contained in this Form 8-K is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Employment Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.

Mr. Shindler will continue to serve as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors and will receive $200,000 per year and health benefits in connection with this role.

Coincident with Mr. Shindler’s departure as an executive officer, Mr. Rittes will assume the role and perform the functions of principal executive officer of the Company. Mr. Rittes, 43, previously served as a key officer for Brazilian telecom companies Brasil Telecom and Oi Paggo, fr






om 2004 to 2011. Most recently, Mr. Rittes was a principal at H.I.G. Capital, a leading global private equity investment firm, from 2016 to 2017. Prior to that, Mr. Rittes served as Chief Financial Officer of Boa Vista Serviços, a Brazilian credit bureau managed by TMG Capital, from 2013 to 2016. From 2011 to 2012, Mr. Rittes served as Chief Financial Officer of Estre Ambiental, an environmental services group in Latin America managed by BTG and Angra. Mr. Rittes holds a master degree in business administration from Harvard Business School.

Mr. Rittes previously entered into an Employment Agreement with Nextel Brazil that provides for an annual base salary of R$2,400,000 and an annual bonus of up to R$4,800,000 paid quarterly and based on achievement of specific quarterly performance measures and targets set by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Mr. Rittes was also granted an equity award of 1,500,000 options in May 2017 with an exercise price of $0.5547 that vest ratably over three years from the date of grant. Should Mr. Rittes be terminated without cause, he will receive a severance payment of one times his annual base salary unless the legally mandated severance is greater than this amount. Pursuant to his agreement, Mr. Rittes is also eligible for medical, dental, customary executive insurance and meal vouchers.

The description of Mr. Rittes’ Employment Agreement contained in this Form 8-K is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Employment Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.

In addition, the Agreements with Daniel Freiman, Chief Financial Officer, and Shana Smith, General Counsel, were updated to provide for a target termination date of April 1, 2018, but when termination will occur has not been determined. Mr. Freiman and Ms. Smith were also provided a payment equal to six months of base salary to be paid in August 2017 in connection with their agreement to remain with the Company. Should Mr. Freiman and Ms. Smith become eligible for benefits under the Company’s Change of Control Severance Plan, this payment will be deemed an advance of the amount due to these executives and will reduce the benefits due under the Company’s Change of Control Severance Plan.

Exhibit 10.1

AMENDED AND RESTATED SEPARATION AND RELEASE AGREEMENT

This Amended and Restated Separation and Release Agreement (“Agreement”) is made by and between NII Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("NII"), and Steve Shindler (hereinafter “Employee”) on July 25, 2017. NII and Employee are collectively referred to as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party.”

RECITALS :

    
WHEREAS, in connection with the wind down of its operations in Reston, Virginia, NII is undergoing a reduction-in-force that will result in the elimination of Employee’s position;

WHEREAS, NII desires to provide Employee with separation benefits to assist Employee in the transition from employment with NII;

WHEREAS, the parties to this agreement desire to resolve all issues, whether known or unknown, arising out of Employee’s employment and separation from employment in a mutually satisfactory manner, confidentially, and without resort to litigation; and

WHEREAS, this Agreement replaces and supersedes the prior Separation and Release Agreement dated November 13, 2015 and all amendments thereto.

AGREEMENT :

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and of the mutual covenants herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties do hereby covenant and agree:

1.
Termination of Employment; Separation Benefits     

A. Employee will be terminated from employment due to job elimination on August 1, 2017 as described below (the “Termination Date”). In consideration of Employee’s acceptance of this Agreement:

1)      NII shall pay Employee two times annual base salary. Using Employee’s base salary as of July 25, 2017, this would be $1,948,751.76. This amount is subject to increase based on the base salary in effect on the Termination Date and shall be paid to Employee in one lump sum, payable within twenty (20) business days of the Termination Date or the Effective Date (as defined below).

2)      In the event that NII exercises its discretion to make a payment under NII’s cash bonus plan following the execution of this Agreement and that bonus covers a period prior to and including the Employee’s Termination Date, NII shall pay to Employee the unpaid prorated bonus to which Employee would have been entitled

1



based on NII’s actual performance and pursuant to the terms and conditions of the then applicable bonus plan if and when it is paid.

3)      In the event that NII triggers a payment pursuant to the Key Employee Incentive Plan (the “KEIP”), as provided for in NII’s bankruptcy proceedings concluded in June 2015, NII shall pay to Employee his portion of the KEIP pursuant to the terms and conditions of the KEIP and when payments are made to other eligible employees.

4)      In the event that on or before July 31, 2018 a transaction is completed that meets the definition of Change of Control as defined in NII’s Change of Control Severance Plan, as amended and restated effective November 2, 2015, NII shall pay to Employee an additional payment equal to 200% of Employee’s target annual bonus in effect on the Termination Date and 18 months of COBRA benefits in one lump sum, payable within twenty (20) business days of the closing date of such transaction.

B. Employee hereby agrees that NII will deduct from the above-described payments all withholding taxes and other payroll deductions that NII is required by law to make from wage payments to employees. Employee hereby agrees that the payments and performances described in this Agreement are all that Employee shall be entitled to receive from NII except for vested qualified retirement benefits, if any, to which Employee may be entitled under NII's ERISA plans. Employee further acknowledges and agrees that the payment described in Section 1(A) shall be deemed to satisfy NII’s obligations pursuant to NII’s Severance Plan (as amended and restated February 27, 2013) (the “Severance Plan”), that such payment represents the full amount payable to Employee under the terms of the Severance Plan, and that the Severance Plan requires Employee to execute this Agreement as a condition of receiving any such payments.

2.
Consideration
Employee hereby agrees and acknowledges that the benefits set forth in Section 1 of this Agreement are more than Employee would otherwise be entitled to receive under any of NII’s policies and procedures and that they are in addition to anything of value to which Employee already is entitled; and, specifically, that because execution of this Agreement is a condition of receiving any benefits under the Severance Plan, to the extent it would be deemed to apply to Employee’s termination, Employee is not otherwise entitled to any of the benefits set forth in Section 1. Employee acknowledges and agrees that the amount made payable to him is in complete satisfaction of any and all claims of any kind that he has made or could have in connection with his employment and separation from employment.
    
3.
Complete Release

In exchange for the consideration set forth herein, Employee hereby knowingly and voluntarily releases and forever discharges NII and any related companies, including, without limitation, their affiliates, former and current employees, officers, agents, directors, shareholders, investors, attorneys, successors and assigns or any of them (the “Released Parties”) from all liabilities, claims, demands, rights of action or causes of action Employee had, has or may have against any of the Released Parties, including but not limited to any claims or demands based upon or relating to Employee’s employment with NII or the termination of that employment. This includes

This also includes but is not limited to a release by Employee of any claims for wrongful discharge, breach of contract, under the Severance Plan, or any other statutory, common law, tort or contract claim that Employee had, has or may have against any of the Released Parties. This release covers both claims that Employee knows about and those that Employee may not know about.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither party is releasing any right to enforce this Agreement, and Employee is not releasing: (1) any vested qualified retirement benefits under NII’s ERISA plan (although it does include a release of all claims to benefits under the Severance Plan); (2) the right to continuation in NII’s medical plans as provided by COBRA; (3) any claims for unemployment compensation or workers compensation benefits or other rights that may not be released as a matter of law; (4)  any claims solely relating to the validity of this general release under the ADEA, as amended; (5) any non-waiveable right to file a charge with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other federal, state or local governmental agency or commission (“Government Agencies”); or (6) any rights to indemnification pursuant to NII’s or any successor company’s Certificate of Incorporation, Delaware General Corporation Law or the Director and Officer Indemnification Agreement between the Parties. If a government agency were to pursue any matters that are released herein, Employee agrees that this Agreement will control as the exclusive remedy and full settlement of all such claims by Employee for money damages. However, Employee understands that this Agreement does not limit Employee’s ability to communicate with any Government Agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency. This Agreement does not limit Employee’s right to receive an award for information provided to any Government Agencies.

Employee represents and warrants that Employee has no knowledge of any improper or illegal actions, misstatements or omissions by NII, is not aware of any facts or evidence that could give rise to such a claim, nor does Employee know of any basis on which any third party or governmental entity could assert such a claim. Employee further represents and warrants that he/she has fulfilled Employee’s duties to NII to the best of Employee’s abilities and in a reasonable and prudent manner, and that Employee has not knowingly engaged, directly or indirectly, in any actions or omissions that could be perceived as improper or unlawful, nor has Employee failed to report any such actions or omissions to NII. Employee further represents and warrants that he/she has been paid all compensation due and owing from NII as a result of Employee’s work, that he/she has received all rights to which Employee is entitled under the Family and Medical Leave Act, and that he/she is not suffering from any undisclosed illness or injury that would be compensable under NII’s workers’ compensation insurance.


3



Employee hereby acknowledges and agrees that this release is a general release and that by signing this Agreement, he is signing and agreeing to this release.

4.
Non-Release of Future Claims

Employee understands and agrees that he is waiving any and all rights and claims under the ADEA. Employee agrees that his waiver of these ADEA claims is knowing and voluntary, and understands that he is forever releasing any such claims that might have arisen before the date of this Agreement. The Parties agree that the decision to terminate Employee’s employment has been made prior to the execution of this Agreement.

5.
Encouragement to Consult with Attorney

Employee has had the opportunity to consult with an attorney and has been encouraged to do so prior to executing this Agreement.

6.

Employee acknowledges and agrees that any changes made to this Agreement after it first was offered do not re-start the running of the 45-day period. Employee may execute the Agreement prior to the expiration of the 45-day period but in no event may he execute it prior to the Termination Date. Employee acknowledges that in the event he decides to execute this Agreement in fewer than 45 days, he has done so with the express understanding that he has been given and declined the opportunity to consider this release for a full 45 days. Employee acknowledges that his decision to sign the Agreement in fewer than 45 days was not induced by NII through fraud, misrepresentation, or a threat to withdraw or alter the offer prior to the expiration of the 45-day time period. Employee acknowledges receipt of the OWBPA document appended to this Agreement that contains the employees affected by this termination program and their titles and ages.

7.
Employee's Right to Revoke Agreement

Employee may revoke this Agreement within seven (7) days of Employee's signing it.

If Employee has not revoked the Agreement, the eighth (8 th ) day after Employee signs this Agreement shall be the Effective Date for purposes of this Agreement.

8.
No Future Lawsuits

Employee promises never to file a lawsuit asserting any claims that are released in Section 3 of this Agreement. In the event Employee breaches this Section 8, Employee shall pay to NII all of its expenses incurred as a result of such breach, including but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses.

9.
Disclaimer of Liability

This Agreement and the payments and performances hereunder are made solely to assist Employee in making the transition from employment with NII, and are not and shall not be construed to be an admission of liability, an admission of the truth of any fact, or a declaration against interest on the part of NII.
