Item 5.02 — Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On November 14, 2010, Dell Inc. (“Dell”) and Ron Garriques, President, Communications Solutions, executed a Separation Agreement and Release (the “Separation Agreement”) and a Consultancy Agreement (the “Consultancy Agreement”) pursuant to Mr. Garriques’ decision to leave Dell. Under the terms of the Separation Agreement, and consistent with Dell’s standard executive severance package, Mr. Garriques will receive a severance payment of $1.44 million and an incentive plan payment of $378,000. Mr. Garriques’ departure date will be January 28, 2011. A copy of the Separation Agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Under the terms of the Consultancy Agreement, Mr. Garriques will provide consulting services to Dell from January 31, 2011 through December 31, 2011 and will receive two lump sum payments of $3,154,120 on or before February 28, 2011 and December 31, 2011, respectively. These payments are based on Mr. Garriques’ projected long-term incentive plan payouts through 2011 and are contingent on Mr. Garriques’ compliance with the terms and conditions of the Consultancy Agreement which reinforce his non-compete and employee non-solicitation obligations. A copy of the Consulting Agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The foregoing descriptions of the Separation Agreement and the Consultancy Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the agreements.
