Compensatory Arrangements of Warren Sutherland

 

On May 15, 2017, CCUR Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) and Warren Sutherland entered into an “Employment Agreement” related to Mr. Sutherland’s appointment as Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) for the Company (the “Sutherland Employment Agreement”), a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 10.2 in the Form 8-K filed by the Company on May 15, 2017 and is incorporated herein by reference. On January 30, 2018, the Company entered into a “First Amendment to Employment Agreement” with Mr. Sutherland (the “First Amendment”) amending certain terms of the Employment Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 in the Form 8-K filed by the Company on February 2, 2018 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Effective January 1, 2019, the Company entered into a “Second Amendment to Employment Agreement” with Warren Sutherland (the “Second Amendment”) which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, unless otherwise terminated pursuant to Sections 4.1-4.7, Mr. Sutherland’s employment as CFO for the Company will continue through March 1, 2020 (the “Initial Term”). Unless Mr. Sutherland or the Company provides notice of non-renewal at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of the Initial Term, Mr. Sutherland’s employment will automatically be extended after the Initial Term and continue on an ongoing basis until terminated pursuant to Sections 4.1-4.7 of the Sutherland Employment Agreement, as amended. If Mr. Sutherland’s employment is (i) not extended beyond the Initial Term, (ii) terminated directly by the Company without Due Cause (as defined in the Sutherland Employment Agreement, as amended), or (iii) constructively by the Company without Due Cause (as defined in the Sutherland Employment Agreement, as amended), Mr. Sutherland will be eligible to receive the following severance compensation (the “Severance Compensation”) :

 

(i) his salary at the time of termination during a twelve month (12) severance period from the date of termination or constructive termination.
(ii) the amount of annual bonus award, if any, paid in the year prior to termination or constructive termination; provided, however, that if Mr. Sutherland’s employment is not extended beyond the Initial Term, he will not be eligible to receive this bonus payment which is contemplated by clause (b) of Section 4.4 of the Sutherland Employment Agreement, as amended.
(iii) COBRA continuation coverage during the severance period under the Company’s health plan for Mr. Sutherland and his eligible dependents that were covered under the health plan at the time of his termination at the same premium charged to active employees during such period.

 

Payment of the Severance Compensation to Mr. Sutherland continues to be subject to him executing, and not revoking, a release of claims. If Mr. Sutherland is terminated for any reason he is prohibited from competing with the Company, soliciting its customers or trying to hire its employees for the period in which he receives the Severance Compensation, if any, plus one year.

 

In addition, pursuant to the Second Amendment Mr. Sutherland will be eligible for an annual bonus under the NAV Program (defined below) in a target amount of twenty-five percent (25%) of the available bonus pool. Mr. Sutherland’s salary is reviewed annually and he is eligible to receive long-term incentive awards. Mr. Sutherland will receive an annualized salary of $250,000 effective January 1, 2019 and will receive an award of 25,000 shares of restricted stock under the CCUR Holdings, Inc. Amended and Restated 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Plan”) which shall vest in three equal installments on the anniversary of the grant date.

 

The foregoing description of the Second Amendment is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Second Amendment, a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Adoption of 2019 CCUR Bonus Plan

 

On January 1, 2019, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board, the Board adopted the 2019 CCUR Bonus Plan, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and also referred to herein as the “NAV Program”, pursuant to which certain employees of the Company have the opportunity, among other things, to earn cash and equity incentive awards through a program based on growth in the Company’s net asset value (“NAV”). The NAV Program replaces the Company’s previous “Annual Incentive Bonus” program implemented for senior employees. The NAV Program is subject to, and where applicable, governed by, the terms of the Stock Plan.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the NAV Program, each participant in the program is eligible to receive a portion of a bonus pool allocated by the Compensation Committee based on the Company’s NAV growth in a calendar year net of a five percent (5%) required return threshold, subject to certain adjustments and exclusions as set forth therein. The Compensation Committee will determine the participants of the NAV Program and the allocations of the share of the bonus pool among such participants. As set forth in the Second Amendment, twenty-five percent (25%) of the bonus pool has been allocated to Mr. Sutherland.

 

For each NAV Program participant, their portion of the bonus pool shall be awarded as follows: (a) fifty percent (50%) of the award value will be paid in cash within seventy-four (74) days after the end of the calendar year for which it is awarded; and (b) fifty percent (50%) will be paid in cash, equity or a combination thereof, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee and subject to the limitations set forth in the Stock Plan.

 

The foregoing description of the NAV Program is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the 2019 CCUR Bonus Plan, a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Exhibit 10.2

 

2019 CCUR Bonus Plan

 

The 2019 CCUR Bonus Plan (the “ Bonus Plan ”), adopted by the Board of Directors of CCUR Holdings, Inc. (the “ Company ”) on January 1, 2019 upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board, is set forth as follows:

 

General

 

The Bonus Plan shall be subject to, and where applicable, governed by, the terms of the CCUR Holdings, Inc. Amended and Restated 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “ Incentive Plan ”) (or any successor plan intended to qualify under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended).

 

Each Bonus Plan participant will be eligible to receive a portion of a bonus pool allocated by the Company based on growth in the Company’s Net Asset Value (“ NAV ”), if any. Each plan participant shall have been communicated their target bonus at the beginning of the calendar year, or upon hiring or inclusion in the Bonus Plan.

 

Bonus Funding

 

All Bonus awards will be funded from a bonus pool (“ Bonus Pool ”) to be determined as follows:

 

· The Company will establish a target bonus pool for all plan participants (“ Target Pool ”) and establish the beginning of year Compensation Net Asset Value (“ Bonus NAV ”) and Bonus NAV per share.

 

· Promptly following the end of the calendar year, the Company will determine the Company’s end of year Bonus NAV per share, to be certified by the Compensation Committee.

 

The Company will fund a Bonus Pool up to ten percent (10%) of the excess, if any, of (A) end of year Bonus NAV per share divided by (B) beginning of year Bonus NAV per share, and subtracting one from the quotient (“ NAV Return ”) less (C) the required threshold return of five percent (5%) (“ Threshold Return ”) and, if this net amount is positive, it will be multiplied by (D) beginning of year Bonus NAV.

 

Threshold Performance and High-Water Mark

 

Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, if the NAV Return is less than the Threshold Return, then no Bonus shall be awarded for the calendar year. In addition, if the NAV Return is less than the Threshold Return, then the Bonus Pool for the next two calendar years shall be based on a NAV Return using the end of year Bonus NAV per share as compared to the highest end of year Bonus NAV per share for the preceding two calendar years as the beginning of year Bonus NAV per share, per the formula above. 


Bonus Distribution

 

If the NAV Return is above the Threshold Return, then, upon the recommendation of management, the Compensation Committee will distribute the Bonus NAV in accordance with the contractual obligations binding upon the Company in effect at the time of the distribution.

 

Payouts and Grants

 

For each plan participant, their Bonus NAV shall be awarded as follows: (a) fifty percent (50%) of the award value will be paid in cash within seventy-four (74) days after the end of the calendar year for which it is awarded ; and (b) fifty percent (50%) to be paid in cash, equity or a combination thereof, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee and subject to the limitations set forth in the Incentive Plan. 


Net Asset Value (NAV)

 

For the purpose of the foregoing calculation, the Company’s “Net Asset Value” is generally calculated by as follows:

 

Net Asset Value, without duplication, is the amount equal to:

 

(A) Total Assets (as reflected on Company’s audited Balance Sheet for the then-ended calendar year), less

 

 

 

 

(B) all Indebtedness and other liabilities of the Company reflected on such Balance Sheet and determined in accordance with GAAP, including those related to the Company’s investments to the extent not taken into account in the calculation of the fair market value of such investments included in Total Assets;  provided  that for such purposes, the derivative attributable to the conversion feature in any series of preferred stock that the Company may issue will not be considered a liability.

 

Compensation Net Asset Value

 

Net Asset Value would then be adjusted as follows to arrive at Compensation Net Asset Value (“Bonus NAV”):

 

(1) To exclude the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities,
(2) Adding the amount of any dividends paid on account of the Company’s capital stock,
(3) Adding the amount spent buying back any of the Company’s common stock under a Board-approved stock buyback plan,
(4) To exclude accruals for any Bonus NAV and payments contemplated by any asset management agreement or other agreement approved by the Company’s Board relating to the allocation and management of the Company’s assets, and
(4) Eliminating the impact of any common stock issuances to third  parties by the company by adjusting for the impact to the beginning of year Bonus NAV. 

 

Common Stock outstanding

 

(1) Beginning of year common stock outstanding should be adjusted for:
a. Any common stock issuances to third parties
b. Stock splits

 

(2) End of year common stock outstanding should be adjusted for:
a. Preferred stock conversions
b. Stock repurchases
c. Exercise of options by named executive officers

 

Fair Market Value

 

(i) in the case of any security that is either (a) listed on a national securities exchange or (b) an actively traded security in the over-the-counter-market that represents equity in a person with a market capitalization of at least $50,000,000 on each trading day in the preceding sixty (60) day period prior to such date, the product of (x) (i) the sum of the daily volume weighted average price of a single unit of such security for each of the twenty (20) consecutive trading days immediately prior to such date, divided by (ii) 20, multiplied by (y) the number of units of such security being valued, 

 

(ii) in the case of any security that is not so listed or not an actively traded security or any other property or asset (other than cash equivalents), the fair market value thereof (defined as the price that would be negotiated in an arms’ length transaction for cash between a willing buyer and willing seller, neither of which is acting under compulsion), as determined by a written opinion of a nationally recognized investment banking, appraisal, accounting or valuation firm that is not an affiliate of the Company and is selected by the Company in good faith and

 

(iii) in the case of cash equivalents, the face value thereof.

 

Beginning of Year Bonus NAV

 

For the purpose of setting a beginning of year Bonus NAV to be used in determining the amount to be funded to a Bonus Pool, start with the end of year Bonus NAV for the previous measurement period and then adjust as follows:

 

(1) Eliminate adjustments made for conversion of preferred stock into common stock,
(2) Eliminate adjustments made for the Company’s deferred financing costs, and
(3) Eliminate adjustments made for the exercise of options by named executive officers.
