Jacunski, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and a Named Executive Officer in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2019 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, would be leaving the Company. On March 27, 2019, the Company and Mr. Jacunski entered into a Separation Agreement and General Release (the “Separation Agreement”), subject to a seven-day revocation period which has expired. The Separation Agreement sets forth the terms of his severance benefits. Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, in exchange for a general release of claims in favor of the Company and its affiliates, the Company will pay or provide Mr. Jacunski the following: i. Cash payments in an aggregate amount of $1,616,793 to be paid as follows: fifteen (15) equal monthly installments aggregating $560,000; a payment totaling $619,500 within 60 days following termination; and a payment of $437,293 on October 31, 2019. ii. An enhancement to Mr. Jacunski’s pension benefits under the P. H. Glatfelter Company Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) adjusted to calculate the value of the benefits as if he was 55 years old as of the date of his separation rather than an actual age of 53. Mr. Jacunski’s pension benefits will otherwise be determined based on his years of service and compensation as of the termination date in accordance with the terms of the applicable retirement plans. Such benefits will be paid in accordance with the terms set forth in the SERP. iii. Reimbursement of COBRA premiums for continued medical, prescription drug and dental coverage for the 15-month period following the termination date, less the amount that active employees pay for such coverage. As a condition to receiving the payments and benefits described above, Mr. Jacunski must continue to comply with confidentiality covenants by which he is bound, and for the 15-month period following termination of his employment, Mr. Jacunski must comply with covenants related to non-competition and non-solicitation of employees and other service providers.
