Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
Effective November 18, 2022, Dave Flitman resigned from his position as
President and Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Board of Directors
(the "Board") of Builders FirstSource, Inc. (the "Company") to accept another
opportunity outside of the industry.
Effective November 18, 2022, the Board appointed Dave Rush to serve as Interim
Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Board. Mr. Rush, age 60, has held
various strategic and operational roles with the Company, including Executive
Vice President, Strategic Management Office since March 2022, Executive Vice
President, Integration Management Office from January 2021 to March 2022, Chief
Operating Officer of the Eastern Division from November 2018 to January 2021,
and Senior Vice President - Strategy and Business Development from August 2017
to November 2018. Prior to that, he had been Senior Vice President - Integration
since the acquisition of ProBuild Holdings LLC by the Company in July 2015. From
2003 to 2015, Mr. Rush was an Area Vice President, with responsibility for more
than 18 locations in three states. He joined the Company as Vice President of
Finance of the Southeast Group in 1999. Before joining the Company, Mr. Rush
worked in various accounting and finance positions, primarily with
multi-location distribution companies, including as Chief Financial Officer of
the Bojangles Restaurant chain. He holds a B.A. in accounting from the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
In connection with his appointment as Interim Chief Executive Officer, the
Company and Mr. Rush have agreed to enter into an amended and restated
employment agreement to replace Mr. Rush's current employment agreement with the
Company. The material compensation terms that will be set forth in the amended
employment agreement are summarized below.
For serving as Interim Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Rush will receive an annual
salary of $1,000,000, subject to annual review by the Compensation Committee of
the Board. Mr. Rush will be eligible to earn an annual bonus with a target award
equal to 150% of his annual salary, based on achievement of performance goals
established from year to year by the Compensation Committee (for 2022, Mr.
Rush's annual bonus will be prorated for the amount of time he serves as Interim
Chief Executive Officer). In connection with his appointment as Interim Chief
Executive Officer, Mr. Rush received a one-time grant of time-based restricted
stock units having a value equal to $500,000, based on the closing price of the
Company's common stock on November 18, 2022, which vest on the one-year
anniversary of the grant date. Mr. Rush will receive an additional grant of
restricted stock units having a value equal to $4,000,000 in the first quarter
of 2023 (as part of the Company's regular equity award grant cycle). These
restricted stock units will be one-half time-based (vesting in equal annual
installments on the first three anniversaries of the grant date) and one-half
performance-based (vesting on the third anniversary of the grant date, subject
to achievement of performance goals). In the event Mr. Rush's employment is
terminated by the Company without "cause," or by Mr. Rush for "good reason," or
due to his death, disability or retirement, Mr. Rush's time-based restricted
stock units will become fully vested, and his performance-based restricted stock
units will remain outstanding and become payable at the end of the performance
period to the extent the performance goals are achieved. Mr. Rush will not be
entitled to any other severance payments or benefits.
