The approved base salary and target bonus amount for each officer is shown below.

Employment Agreement with Sarah J.S. Glickman
On June 5, 2019, the Committee approved an employment agreement with Sarah J.S. Glickman, Acting Chief Financial Officer (the “Employment Agreement”) that is generally consistent with its standard form of employment agreement for executive officers. Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Ms. Glickman will serve as the Acting Chief Financial Officer of the Company until a permanent Chief Financial Officer is appointed and, thereafter, in the role assigned to her by the Company, with an annual base salary of $425,000 and the opportunity to earn a performance-based bonus each year, targeted at 100% of base salary.
Upon Ms. Glickman’s termination of employment without cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement) either prior to a change of control of the Company or more than two years following a change of control of the Company, Ms. Glickman will be entitled to severance equal to six months of base salary, at the level in effect on the date of termination, any earned but unpaid annual bonus, and medical and dental coverage for a period of six months from the date of termination. In the event that, within two years following a change of control of the Company, the Company terminates Ms. Glickman’s employment without cause or Ms. Glickman resigns for good reason (as defined in the Employment Agreement), Ms. Glickman will receive a lump-sum cash payment equal to two times the sum of her base salary and target annual bonus, a prorated target bonus payment for the year of termination, and any earned but unpaid annual bonus, and medical and dental coverage for a period of 24 months from the date of termination. The severance benefits described in this paragraph are in all cases subject to Ms. Glickman’s execution and non-revocation of a release of claims.
The Employment Agreement also contains equity and annual bonus clawback provisions in the event of a restrictive covenant breach, termination of employment for cause, or engagement in fraud or willful misconduct that contributes materially to any financial restatement or material loss. Under the Employment Agreement, Ms. Glickman is subject to the following restrictive covenants: employee and customer non-solicitation during her employment and for a period of three years following her termination for any reason; confidentiality and non-disparagement during her employment and thereafter; and non-competition during her employment and for a period of two years following her termination for any reason. In addition, the Company generally has the option to extend the non-competition period for up to an additional year following a termination for any reason, provided that it continues to pay Ms. Glickman’s base salary as in effect on the date of termination during the extended non-competition period.
