Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
(e) Effective March 15, 2013, Blackbaud, Inc. entered into Management Transition Retention Agreements with certain of its officers including, but not limited to, named executive officers Anthony W. Boor, Jana B. Eggers, Bradley J. Holman and Kevin W. Mooney. Each of these Agreements provides that Blackbaud will make certain payments to the officers if he or she is terminated without “cause” or resigns for “good reason” (as such terms are defined in the Agreement) within 12 months after a new chief executive officer commences employment with Blackbaud. In these circumstances, Blackbaud will make the following payments to the officers: (a) a lump sum payment of 18 months of the officer's base salary at the rate in effect on the termination date, (b) a lump sum payment of the officer's annual target bonus for the year in which the termination takes place, prorated to reflect the percentage of days worked through the termination date, (c) reimbursement of the officer's applicable COBRA premiums (or Australian equivalent, in the case of Mr. Holman) for the lesser of 12 months following the termination date or until the officer becomes eligible for insurance benefits from another employer, and (d) 12 months accelerated vesting of all the officer's then outstanding and unvested stock options and other equity awards. Each Agreement also provides that it does not otherwise change the officer's employment status with Blackbaud.
The foregoing description of the Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full and complete text of the Agreements, a form of which is to be filed as an Exhibit to Blackbaud's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2013.
