2020 annual short-term incentive compensation award at target, which is 50% of his base salary;

 

a lump sum of $24,169, less applicable withholdings, reflecting the value of twelve (12) months of continuing health, dental and vision coverage under COBRA; and

 

vesting of the 5,418 Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) awarded in April 2020 to occur one year from the date of separation.

The Separation Agreement contains a release and certain restrictive covenants that are binding upon Mr. Menon.  The foregoing description of the Separation Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Separation Agreement, which the Company intends to file as an exhibit to the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 26, 2020.
