Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
As previously disclosed in the Original Report, on September 12, 2022, the
Company and Jennifer Walsh mutually agreed that she would depart her positions
of chief financial officer and principal accounting officer at the Company,
effective October 1, 2022. On October 12, 2022 (the "Execution Date), Ms. Walsh
and the Company entered into a separation agreement, which includes a general
release and waiver of claims against the Company and the Company's released
parties (the "Separation Agreement"), which, unless revoked, will become
effective on October 20, 2022 (the "Effective Date"). Pursuant to the Separation
Agreement, Ms. Walsh's employment with the Company in a non-executive capacity
will continue until December 31, 2022, or an earlier date determined by the
Company or Ms. Walsh with 30 days' written notice (the actual date of separation
from employment, the "Separation Date"). In consideration for Ms. Walsh's
execution of the Separation Agreement and certain obligations as set forth
therein, including Ms. Walsh's execution and non-revocation of a second general
release and waiver of claims against the Company and the Company's released
parties attached to the Separation Agreement (the "Second Release"), the Company
agreed to grant certain benefits to which Ms. Walsh would not be otherwise
entitled, as described below. These benefits supersede any severance benefits
Ms. Walsh to which was entitled pursuant to the employment agreement dated July
19, 2021, between the Company and Ms. Walsh.
In exchange for the promises in the Separation Agreement and Second Release, the
Company will pay Ms. Walsh a total gross amount of $178,750, less lawful
deductions. This amount is equal to six months of her current base salary as
follows: (i) Ms. Walsh will receive a gross amount of $13,750, less lawful
deductions, which is equal to two weeks of Ms. Walsh's current base salary,
following her execution and non-revocation of the Separation Agreement and (ii)
Ms. Walsh will receive a gross amount of $165,000, less lawful deductions, which
is equal to the remainder of the six-month monetary payment following her
execution and non-revocation of the Second Release.
In addition, and in consideration of and contingent upon Ms. Walsh's execution
and non-revocation of the Second Release, the Company will (i) pay the actual
2022 bonus, if any, Ms. Walsh would have earned pursuant to the terms of the
Company's annual incentive bonus plan for 2022, had Ms. Walsh's separation from
employment not occurred, (ii) provide Ms. Walsh with subsidized health coverage
for up to six months following the Separation Date, (iii) accelerate the vesting
of 36,471 of the 145,883 shares underlying restricted stock units granted to Ms.
Walsh on March 28, 2022 (the "Accelerated Incentive Grant RSUs"), and (iv)
extend the post-termination exercise period of the 743,454 unexercised shares
underlying fully vested stock options (the "Options") held by Ms. Walsh until
the date that is twelve months after the Separation Date, unless terminated
earlier according to the applicable stock option agreement or the Shapeways,
Inc. 2010 Stock Plan. As of the Separation Date, any of Ms. Walsh's restricted
stock units other than the Accelerated Incentive Grant RSUs that are unvested
and remain subject to a service-based vesting requirement will be forfeited.
The description of the terms and conditions of the Separation Agreement and the
Second Release are qualified in their entirety by reference to the agreements,
which are filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.
