On January 26, 2023, Charter entered into an employment agreement (the “Fischer Employment Agreement”) with Jessica Fischer, our Chief Financial Officer.
The Fischer Employment Agreement, which is effective as of February 5, 2023, has a term ending February 5, 2025 (or upon an earlier termination of employment) and provides that Ms. Fischer will continue to serve as Chief Financial Officer. The Fischer Employment Agreement provides that Ms. Fischer will receive an annual base salary of at least $800,000 and a target annual cash bonus opportunity of 150% of her annual base salary.
Ms. Fischer will also continue to participate in our employee benefit plans and receive perquisites as generally provided to our other senior executives. In addition, consistent with Ms. Fischer’s prior employment agreement, we will continue to reimburse Ms. Fischer for all reasonable and necessary expenses incurred in connection with the performance of her duties.

The termination benefits described above are subject to Ms. Fischer’s execution of a release of claims in favor of Charter and its affiliates. In addition, Ms. Fischer has agreed to comply with covenants concerning non-disclosure of confidential information, assignment of intellectual property and non-disparagement of Charter and, for two years following termination, covenants concerning non-competition and non-solicitation of customers of Charter and its affiliates and, for one year following termination, covenants concerning non-solicitation of employees of Charter and its affiliates.
