Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
Five9, Inc. (the “Company”) today announced that the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company appointed, effective as of May 3, 2018, Rowan Trollope as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and as a Class II director of the Company with a term set to expire at the 2019 annual meeting of stockholders. In connection with this appointment, Barry Zwarenstein will no longer serve as Interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective as of May 3, 2018, but will continue to serve as Chief Financial Officer of the Company.
Mr. Trollope, age 45, is a 26-year veteran of the enterprise software industry. Prior to being appointed the Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company, Mr. Trollope served as Senior Vice President and General Manager, Applications Group at Cisco Systems, Inc., an information technology company, since October 2015. From November 2012 to October 2015, Mr. Trollope served as Senior Vice President and General Manager, Collaboration Technology Group of Cisco. Mr. Trollope has also served as a director of VeriFone Systems, Inc. since May 2017. Mr. Trollope was selected to serve on our Board because of the perspective he will bring to our Board as Chief Executive Officer and his extensive experience in the technology industry.
In connection with Mr. Trollope’s appointment, the Company and Mr. Trollope entered into an offer letter dated April 7, 2018 (the “Offer Letter”). Pursuant to the Offer Letter, Mr. Trollope will receive an initial base salary of $575,000 and will be eligible to earn an annual bonus with a target amount of 115% of his base salary under the Company’s 2018 Executive Bonus Program, subject to the achievement of corporate performance targets the Compensation Committee approved in February 2018, and with any bonus paid in his first quarter of employment prorated based on his start date. In addition, Mr. Trollope will be eligible to receive benefits under the Key Employee Severance Benefit Plan (the “KESP”) as a Tier 1 Participant, except that upon a Constructive Termination (as defined in the Offer Letter) that is not in connection with a change in control, Mr. Trollope will also receive (1) a lump sum cash payment equal to 12 months of his then-current base salary and (2) continued health insurance coverage for 12 months. The Company will also grant Mr. Trollope a restricted stock unit award (“RSU”) with a target dollar value of $14.0 million, which will vest as to one-third of the total number of shares subject to the RSU on June 3, 2019 and one-twelfth of the total number of shares subject to the RSU every three months thereafter, in each case, subject to his continued service with the Company on each vesting date, except that if he is terminated without cause or incurs a Constructive Termination prior to June 3, 2019, such RSU will become vested through his termination date as if the RSU had been subject to quarterly vesting.
The foregoing is not a complete description of the Offer Letter and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Offer Letter, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The Company entered into an indemnification agreement with Mr. Trollope in the form previously filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 5, 2015. The indemnification agreement requires the Company to indemnify Mr. Trollope to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against liability that may arise by reason of his service to the Company, and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against him as to which he could be indemnified, among other things.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
