Item 5.02

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

Effective as of October 12, 2022 (the “Separation Date”), Dr. Louis R. Brothers resigned from his position as Chief Executive Officer and Director of BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”). The Company thanks Dr. Brothers for his service to the Company and its stockholders.

Effective immediately upon Dr. Brother’s resignation, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) unanimously appointed Amanda Long as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Board also appointed Mrs. Long as a director to fill the vacancy on the Board created by Dr. Brothers’ resignation. Mrs. Long will serve on the Board as a Class II Director for a term expiring at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders in 2023 and until her successor has been duly elected and qualified or until her earlier resignation or removal.

Mrs. Long, 36, joins the Company from International Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”) where she most recently served as Vice President of IT Automation beginning in September 2021. Prior to that role, Mrs. Long held several positions with IBM, including Vice President of its Integration & Application Platform business from May 2021 to September 2021, General Manager of its Watson Health Provider Analytics business from September 2020 to May 2021, Chief Product & Strategy Officer of its Watson Health Imaging & Oncology/Genomics business from November 2019 to September 2020, Chief Product & Strategy Officer of its Watson Health Imaging business from April 2019 to November 2019, and Global Head of Artificial Intelligence Product & Strategy of its Watson Health Imaging business from October 2017 to March 2019. Mrs. Long also served as Vice President of Product Management at Modernizing Medicine Inc. from May 2014 to July 2017 and Vice President of Product Management & Strategy at Experian Health from December 2011 to April 2014. Mrs. Long earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics from Connecticut College.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Mrs. Long and any other person pursuant to which Mrs. Long was appointed as Chief Executive Officer. There are no family relationships among any of the Company’s directors or executive officers and Mrs. Long.

In connection with her appointment as Chief Executive Officer and pursuant to an offer letter, dated as of October 11, 2022 (the “Offer Letter”), Mrs. Long will be entitled to the following compensation: (i) an annualized base salary of $450,000; (ii) eligibility to participate in the Company’s short-term incentive program with an annual cash bonus target of 125% of her annual base compensation based upon mutually developed performance objectives, with an initial bonus for 2022 of no less than $250,000, less applicable payroll deductions and withholdings; (iii) an up-front time-based long-term incentive award with a grant date value of $4,000,000, delivered 75% in the form of restricted stock units and 25% in the form of stock options, with a portion of the long-term incentive award valued at $200,000 and vesting as of December 31, 2022, and an additional 20% of the long-term incentive award will vest on the first anniversary of the grant date and the remaining 75% will vest in equal quarterly installments on the last day of each of the calendar quarters immediately following the first anniversary of the grant date; (iv) beginning in 2023 and subject to Compensation Committee approval, a recurring annual grant estimated to be valued at 200% of base compensation and split (at the Compensation Committee’s discretion) between restricted stock units, performance stock units, stock options and other long-term incentive vehicles; and (v) eligibility to participate in the Company’s employee benefit plans and programs in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable plans and programs. In connection with her appointment, the Company will also enter into its standard form of indemnification agreement (the “Standard Indemnification Agreement”) with Mrs. Long.

As part of Dr. Brothers resignation the Company entered into a separation agreement and general release (the “Separation and Release Agreement”), pursuant to which Dr. Brothers will receive the following payments and benefits, in each case, less all applicable taxes, withholdings and authorized or required deductions: (i) a payment of $410,000, which is equivalent to Dr. Brothers’ base salary for a period of twelve months, paid as salary continuation on the Company’s regular payroll schedule, and (ii) a lump sum payment of approximately $18,026, which is equivalent to twelve months of the employer share of health and welfare premiums for plans in which Dr. Brothers was enrolled as of the Separation Date (collectively, the “Severance Benefits”). The Company will also continue to pay Dr. Brothers’ vehicle lease for the twelve-month period commencing with the first monthly payment following the ADEA Release Effective Date (as defined in the Separation and Release Agreement). In exchange for the Severance Benefits, Dr. Brothers agreed to a release of claims in favor of the Company and reaffirmed his commitment to comply with his existing restrictive covenant obligations.


In addition, the Separation and Release Agreement provides that Dr. Brothers’ outstanding options and restricted stock units granted pursuant to the BigBear.ai Holdings, Inc. 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) will remain outstanding and eligible to vest until the earlier of (x) the date on which Dr. Brothers incurs a Termination of Service (as defined in the Plan) or (y) October 12, 2023. In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), so long as Dr. Brothers has not incurred a Termination of Service prior to the consummation of such Change in Control, Dr. Brothers’ outstanding options and restricted stock units, if any, will vest. The Separation and Release Agreement also addresses the treatment of Dr. Brothers’ awards from BBAI Ultimate Holdings, LLC.

Effective as of October 12, 2022, BigBear.ai LLC (the “Subsidiary”) and Dr. Brothers entered into a consulting agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”), pursuant to which Dr. Brothers will receive a fee of $75,000 paid in quarterly installments of $18,750 and will provide certain services to the Subsidiary for specific projects that are mutually agreed upon from time to time, including but not limited to serving as the chairman of an advisory board for the Subsidiary. The Consulting Agreement will terminate on October 12, 2023, unless otherwise extended for additional one-year periods upon agreement of both parties.

SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE

This Separation Agreement and General Release (the “Agreement”) is entered into by and between BigBear.ai, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (referred to throughout this Agreement as “Employer” or “the Company”) and Louis Reginald (Reggie) Brothers (“Employee”). The term “Party” or “Parties” as used herein shall refer to Employer, Employee, or both, as may be appropriate.

1. Last Day of Employment. Employee’s last day of employment with Employer in his capacity as Chief Executive Officer will be October 12, 2022 (“Separation Date”) as a result of his voluntary resignation from the Company. This Agreement is invalid if signed by Employee prior to Employee’s last date of employment.

2. Separation/Consideration. In consideration for signing this Agreement, and complying with its terms, Employer and Employee agree as follows:

(a) Employee’s employment as Chief Executive Officer, as well as from all other officer, director and employment positions that Employee held at or through the Company, and any of its parents, subsidiaries or affiliates, ceased effective as of the Separation Date. Except as approved by the Company in writing, Employee agrees not to hold himself out as a partner, member, director, officer or employee of, or as otherwise affiliated with, the Company (including on social media) after the Separation Date. Employee agrees to promptly execute such additional documentation as requested by the Company to effectuate the foregoing.

(b) Regardless of whether Employee executes this Agreement, the Company shall timely pay to Employee, minus applicable taxes, withholdings and authorized or required deductions: (i) all earned, but unpaid, wages and accrued, but unused, vacation time earned in accordance with applicable law and Company policy through the Separation Date; (ii) any unpaid expenses or other reimbursements, due to Employee under the Company’s policies, provided that Employee must submit for reimbursement any outstanding business-related expenses within ten (10) days following the Separation Date; and (iii) if applicable, a refund of all ESPP deductions taken during the current offering period as part of the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Program that have not been used to purchase shares as of the Separation Date.

(c) Employee will receive under separate cover information regarding Employee’s rights under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act and, if applicable, any state continuation coverage laws (collectively, “COBRA”). Employee acknowledges that Employee should review the COBRA notice and election forms carefully to understand Employee’s rights and obligations to make timely elections, provide timely notification and make timely premium payments. Except as to any vested benefits or as otherwise provided herein or required under applicable law, Employee’s right to, and participation in, medical, dental and vision plans as an employee shall terminate as of the last day of the month that includes the Separation Date, in accordance with the specific terms of each plan (i.e., October 31, 2022).

(d) Separation Payments. In exchange for Employee’s agreements provided herein, and provided that Employee complies with this Agreement at all times and the “ADEA Release” (as defined below) becomes effective pursuant to its terms, the Company shall pay to Employee:

(i) $410,000.00 less all applicable taxes, withholdings and authorized or required deductions, which represents twelve (12) months of base salary, which shall be paid as salary continuation on the Company’s regular payroll schedule, following the ADEA Release Effective Date.


(ii) a lump sum payment of $18,025.92, less all applicable taxes, withholdings and authorized or required deductions, which represents the cost of the employer share of health and welfare premiums for plans in which you were enrolled as of the Separation Date for a period of twelve (12) months, to be paid in one lump sum on the second regularly scheduled Company payroll date following the ADEA Release Effective Date.

The payments under this Section 2 (collectively, the “Separation Payments”), are not earnings or wages under any Company 401(k) plan.

Company shall also continue to pay Employee’s vehicle lease (Account Number 02 0632 CR573) for vehicle with VIN ending in L202-5497 for a period of 12 months commencing with the first monthly payment following the ADEA Release Effective Date.

3. No Consideration Absent Execution of this Agreement. Employee understands and agrees that Employee would not receive the monies and/or benefits specified in Paragraph 2 above, except for Employee’s timely execution of this Agreement and the fulfillment of the promises contained herein.

4. Forfeiture of Unvested Awards.

(a) As of immediately prior to the Separation Date, Employee holds (i) 1,500,000 Class B Units (the “B Units”) in BBAI Ultimate Holdings, LLC, which were granted pursuant to the Incentive Unit Grant Agreement dated as of February 16, 2021 (the “Grant Agreement”), (ii) an option to purchase 100,000 and 146,429 shares of common stock of Bigbear.ai Holdings, Inc. (“PubCo”), which were granted to Employee on December 7, 2021 and March 30, 2022, respectively (the “Options”) pursuant to PubCo’s 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), and (iii) an award of 40,000 and 58,571 restricted stock units, which were granted to Employee on December 7, 2021 and March 30, 2022, respectively under the Plan (the “RSUs”).

(b) The vesting of the Options and RSUs shall cease, and any unvested Options and RSUs (and all rights arising from such Options and from being a holder thereof) shall be forfeited, upon the earlier of (i) the date on which Employee incurs a Termination of Service (as defined in the Plan) or (ii) October 12, 2023. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the grant agreements governing the Options and the RSUs, in the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan), so long as Employee has not incurred a Termination of Service prior to the consummation of such Change in Control, all of Employee’s unvested Options and RSUs that remain outstanding, if any, will automatically become vested immediately prior to the consummation of such Change in Control. Per the terms of the Plan, any vested Options that have not been exercised shall expire 30 days after the date on which Employee incurs a Termination of Service.

(c) The 900,000 Class B Units designated as “Tranche I Units” and “Tranche III Units” which, as of the Separation Date, are fully vested, will not be forfeited but will remain outstanding, subject to the terms, including the repurchase rights, of the award agreement evidencing the grant of the B Units (together with the Tranche II Units, the “Retained Equity”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Tranche II Units will not be forfeited but will remain outstanding following the Separation Date; provided, that, if the ADEA Release does not become effective pursuant to its terms, the Tranche II Units (and all rights arising from such Tranche II Units and from being a holder thereof) will be automatically forfeited without consideration or notice and without any further action by the Company or any other person or entity.

(d) As of the Separation Date, Employee acknowledges and agrees that Employee does not hold any equity interests or other securities in any Released Party (as defined below) (or rights to acquire or derivative rights in respect of any such equity interests or other securities), other than the Retained Equity and Employee does not have any claim for profits or distributions or cash or other assets of any Released Party that does not arise out of the Retained Equity.

5. Continuing Obligations.

(a) Employee hereby reaffirms Employee’s obligations under the Grant Agreements, Code of Conduct, Non-Solicitation Agreement, and Employee Non-Disclosure and Intellectual Property Assignment Agreement and agrees to comply at all times with Employee’s post-employment obligations (including, for the avoidance of doubt, all non-competition, nonsolicitation and similar obligations set forth in such agreements). In addition, because of the Employer’s legitimate business interest and the good and valuable consideration offered to the Employee, for six (6) months beginning on the Separation Date, Employee agrees and covenants not to engage in any Competitive Activity within the United States relating to augmented analytics or cyber solutions provided to the US Federal government. For purposes of this non-compete clause, “Competitive Activity” means to, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, engage in, provide services to, or otherwise participate in, whether as an employee, employer, owner, operator, manager, advisor, consultant, agent, partner, director, stockholder, officer, volunteer, intern, or any other similar capacity, Without limiting the foregoing, Competitive Activity also includes activity that may require or inevitably require the Employee’s disclosure of trade secrets, proprietary information, classified information or Confidential Information.

(b) Nothing in this Agreement prohibits the Employee from purchasing or owning less than five percent (5%) of the publicly traded securities of any corporation, provided that the Employee’s ownership represents a passive investment and that the Employee is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group that controls, the corporation.

(c) Employee also agrees to refrain from disparaging or holding up to ridicule the name of the Company, its successors, and their current and former officers, directors, attorneys, agents and employees.

6. General Release, Claims Not Released and Related Provisions.

(a) General Release of All Claims. Employee, on Employee’s own behalf and on behalf of Employee’s heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns knowingly and voluntarily release and forever discharge Employer, its direct and indirect parent corporations, affiliates, subsidiaries, divisions, predecessors, insurers, reinsurers, professional employment organizations, representatives, successors and assigns, and their current and former employees, attorneys, officers, directors and agents thereof, both individually and in their business capacities, and their employee benefit plans and programs and their administrators and fiduciaries, both individually and in their business capacities (collectively referred to throughout the remainder of this Agreement as “Releasees”), of and from any and all claims,

known and unknown, asserted or unasserted, which the Employee has or may have against Releasees as of the date of execution of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any alleged violation of the following, as amended: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; Sections 1981 through 1988 of Title 42 of the United States Code; The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967; The Older Workers’ Benefit Protection Act of 1990; The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act; The Fair Credit Reporting Act; The Family and Medical Leave Act; The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008; The Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA); any other federal, state or local law, rule, regulation, or ordinance; any claims sounding in tort, contract (express or implied); claims for wrongful discharge, harassment of any kind, vacation or sick leave pay, intentional or negligent infliction of emotional distress, any basis for recovering costs, fees, or other expenses including attorneys’ fees incurred in these matters. In addition, Employee acknowledges that by signing this Agreement, Employee is also waiving his/her rights under any state or local laws in any of the states in which Employee worked for the Company during his/her employment. A list of the various state and local laws is set forth in Exhibit A attached to this Agreement.

(b) Release of Claimes under the ADEA. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Employee’s release of Claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as amended (the “ADEA Release”) shall only become effective upon: (i) Employee’s separate signature set forth on the signature page of this Agreement reflecting Employee’s assent to Employee’s release of Claims under the ADEA and (ii) the occurrence of the ADEA Release Effective Date (as defined below).

(c) Effective Date(s). The first date upon which Employee and the Company have signed this Agreement, and the Company has received Employee’s signature, shall be the “Effective Date”. Employee has seven (7) calendar days after the date on which Employee initially executes this Agreement for purposes of the ADEA Release to revoke Employee’s consent to the ADEA Release. Such revocation must be in writing and must be emailed to Claire Morse, CHRO at Claire.Morse@BigBear.ai. Notice of such revocation must be received within the seven (7) calendar days referenced above. If Employee does not sign this Agreement for purposes of the ADEA Release or if Employee revokes Employee’s execution of this Agreement for purposes of the ADEA Release, the ADEA Release shall be null and void and the “ADEA Release Effective Date” (as defined below) shall not occur. Provided that Employee does not revoke Employee’s execution of this Agreement for purposes of the ADEA Release within such seven (7) day revocation period, this ADEA Release will become effective on the eighth (8th) calendar day after the date on which Employee signs this Agreement for purposes of the ADEA Release (the “ADEA Release Effective Date”).

(d) Claims Not Released. Employee is not waiving any rights Employee may have to: (i) Employee’s own vested or accrued employee benefits under Employer’s qualified retirement benefit plans as of the Separation Date; (ii) benefits and/or the right to seek benefits under applicable workers’ compensation and/or unemployment compensation statutes; (iii) pursue claims which by law cannot be waived by signing this Agreement; and (iv) enforce this Agreement.

(e) Covenant Not to Sue. A “covenant not to sue” is a legal term which means Employee promises not to file a lawsuit in court. It is different from the General Release of Claims covered above. Besides waiving and releasing the claims set forth above in the General Release paragraph, Employee further agrees never to sue any of the Releasees in any forum for any reason covered by the General Release paragraph. If Employee sues any of the Releasees, Employee shall be liable for their reasonable attorneys’ fees and other litigation costs incurred in defending against such a suit. Notwithstanding this Covenant Not to Sue, Employee may bring a claim against Employer to enforce this Agreement.
