Item 9B. Other Information
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On November 16, 2023, Michael DiTullio, President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, Kristian Talvitie, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, Catherine Kniker, Executive Vice President, Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer, and Aaron von Staats, Executive Vice President, General Counsel entered into new Executive Agreements with PTC Inc. (the “Company”). The new Executive Agreements replace the executives’ existing Executive Agreements with the Company.
The Executive Agreements provide certain compensation and employment protections to the executives. Each Executive Agreement provides that, upon a change in control of the Company, (i) all performance measures under any outstanding equity award held by the executive will be deemed to have been met at the target level, and (ii) the executive will receive a payment in an amount equal to the pro-rata portion of the executive’s target incentive bonus for the current year. Upon any termination of the executive’s employment after a change in control of the Company, (i) all equity awards held by the executive will accelerate and vest in full, (ii) the executive will receive a payment in an amount equal to: (a) 100% of the executive’s highest base salary in the six months preceding the termination date, plus (b) 100% of the executive’s highest applicable target bonus, and (iii) the executive will be entitled to continued participation in the Company’s medical, dental and vision benefit plans (the “Benefit Plans”) for one year, or payment of an amount sufficient to purchase substantially equivalent benefits if continued participation is not permitted under the applicable Benefit Plan or if the Benefit Plan is terminated. The Executive Agreement also provides that, upon termination of the executive’s employment by the Company without cause (i) the executive will receive a payment in an amount equal to 100% of the executive’s highest base salary in the six months preceding the termination date plus 100% of the executive’s target bonus for the year in which the termination occurs, (ii) all equity awards held by the executive that would have vested in the twelve months following the termination date will vest, and (iii) the executive will be entitled to continued participation in the Benefit Plans or payment in lieu thereof as described above. The Executive Agreement also provides that upon termination of the executive’s employment by the Company due to the executive’s death or disability, all equity held by the executive will vest in full. Mr. DiTullio’s Executive Agreement also provides that if he voluntarily terminates his employment after September 30, 2025, or if he is terminated without cause, all outstanding equity held by him will continue to vest after such termination in accordance with its terms, which continued equity vesting after termination without cause replaces the equity acceleration described above in the event of termination without cause. To receive the payments and benefits under the Executive Agreement, the
executive must execute a release of claims in favor of the Company and continue to comply with the terms of the executive’s Proprietary Information Agreement with the Company. The preceding description of the Executive Agreements is qualified by reference to the full text of such agreements, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.5 and 10.6 of this Form 10-K.
