Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain
Officers.
On September 21, 2022, IEH Corporation ("IEH" or the "Company") entered into a
new employment agreement with William H. Craig, its Chief Financial Officer and
Treasurer. The new employment agreement with Mr. Craig is effective as of July
1, 2022 and will expire on June 30, 2027. The following is a summary of the
terms of the new employment agreement with Mr. Craig, which summary is qualified
in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, which is filed
as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Under the employment agreement, Mr. Craig will continue to serve as the Chief
Financial Officer and Treasurer of IEH and will receive a base salary of
$247,200 per annum and be eligible to receive an annual bonus for each fiscal
year of employment based on performance targets and other key objectives
established by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the
Company (the "Committee"). During the term of the agreement, he shall also be
eligible to receive equity or performance awards pursuant to any long-term
incentive compensation plan adopted by the Committee or the Board of Directors.
In the event of the termination of Mr. Craig's employment by us without "cause"
or by his for "good reason", as such terms are defined in the employment
agreement, he would be entitled to: (a) a severance payment of 24 months of base
salary; (b) continued participation in our health and welfare plans for up to
24 months; (c) all accrued but unpaid compensation; and (d) the accelerated
vesting of equity compensation awards to the extent they are subject to
time-based vesting conditions. If his employment is terminated because of death
or disability, he or his beneficiary, as the case may be, will be paid his
accrued compensation, a pro rata bonus for the year of termination, the
accelerated vesting of outstanding equity compensation awards and in the case of
disability, a severance payment of one year of base salary.
Further, under the new employment agreement, if within 90 days of a "change in
control" (as defined in the new employment agreement) either Mr. Craig's
employment is terminated, or he terminates his employment for "good reason", the
Company shall pay and/or provide to his substantially the same compensation and
benefits as if his termination was without "cause" or for "good reason", except
that he will also be entitled to the accelerated vesting of all outstanding
equity compensation awards held by him. Such benefits remain subject to
limitation to avoid the imposition of the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") if such payments
would constitute an "excess parachute payment" as defined in Section 280G of the
Code. Mr. Craig's new employment agreement did not otherwise materially modify
any of the payments or benefits to which he was entitled under his prior
employment agreement in the event of a termination of his employment. Pursuant
to the employment agreement, Mr. Craig is subject to customary confidentiality,
non-solicitation of employees and non-competition obligations that survive the
termination of such agreement.
