Appointment of D. Anthony Scaglione as Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer

On June 18, 2020, Office Depot, Inc. (the “Company”) announced the appointment of D. Anthony Scaglione (age 47) to serve as Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer effective July 20, 2020. Prior to joining the Company, Mr. Scaglione most recently served as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at ABM Industries Incorporated (“ABM”), where he was responsible for all financial, M&A, IT, tax, enterprise services and procurement functions from 2009 to 2020. Prior to joining ABM in 2009, Mr. Scaglione held executive finance positions at CA Technologies from 2005 to 2009. Prior to CA Technologies, Mr. Scaglione served as a manager with Ernst & Young from 2001 to 2005. Mr. Scaglione holds a Master of Business Administration from Fairleigh Dickinson University and holds dual honors degrees in Finance and Accounting from Rutgers University.

There are no family relationships between Mr. Scaglione and any director or executive officer of the Company, and he has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Further information about Mr. Scaglione and his appointment as Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer is included in the Company’s press release issued on June 18, 2020, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Description of Agreements with Mr. Scaglione

Letter Agreement between the Company and Mr. Scaglione

The Company entered into a Letter Agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with Mr. Scaglione, which sets forth the terms of Mr. Scaglione’s employment with the Company as Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, effective July 20, 2020 (the “Effective Date”).

This summary of the Letter Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Letter Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K which is incorporated herein by reference.

Base Salary. Mr. Scaglione will receive an annual base salary of $650,000.

Bonus Eligibility. Mr. Scaglione will be eligible to receive an annual target bonus equal to 90% of his annual eligible earnings, subject to the terms and conditions of the Office Depot, Inc. 2020 Corporate Incentive Plan.

Sign-On Bonus. Mr. Scaglione will be eligible for a sign-on bonus in the amount of $500,000, less applicable taxes, payable following completion of his first 90 days of continuous employment with the Company pursuant to the terms of the Sign-On Bonus Agreement.

Sign-On Equity. Mr. Scaglione will receive a new hire sign-on equity award effective on the Effective Date (“grant date”) equal to a value of $1,500,000 and will consist of time-vested restricted stock units (“RSUs”). The RSUs will vest 1/9 on the first anniversary of the grant date and the remaining 8/9 will vest split equally on the second and third anniversaries of the grant date, as long as Mr. Scaglione is continuously employed by the Company through each anniversary date. The actual number of RSUs Mr. Scaglione will receive will be determined by taking the $1,500,000 award value and dividing it by the fair market value (“FMV”) as calculated by AON/Radford, and will take into consideration the average closing stock price for the trailing 20 days prior to the grant date (“average stock price”).

Long-Term Incentive Program. Mr. Scaglione will receive a 2020 long-term incentive program award equal to an annual grant value of $1,600,000 (the “2020 LTI award”) which will be prorated (reduced) based on the Effective Date relative to the original March 10, 2020 grant date for 2020 annual awards under the Company’s 2019 Long Term Incentive Plan. The 2020 LTI award will be granted on the Effective Date and consist of the following three components which are aligned with the 2020 long term incentive plan design: 1) 30% performance stock units (“PSUs”) tied to the Company’s Free Cash Flow Performance for the fiscal periods of 2020-2022; 2) 30% PSUs tied to relative Total Shareholder Return for the performance period between March 10, 2020 and March 10, 2023; and 3) 40% time-vested RSUs, with vesting to occur in one-third installments on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date as long as Mr. Scaglione is continuously employed by the Company through each anniversary date. The actual number of RSUs and PSUs Mr. Scaglione will receive will be determined by taking the prorated award value and dividing it by the FMV, as calculated by AON/Radford, and will take into consideration the average stock price.

Clawback Provisions. Any incentive-based compensation or other amounts paid to Mr. Scaglione pursuant to the Letter Agreement or any other agreements or arrangements with the Company will be subject to clawback under any applicable Company clawback policy (including any such policy adopted by the Company pursuant to applicable law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement).

Change in Control Agreement. Mr. Scaglione is eligible to participate in the Company’s Executive Change in Control Plan which provides for severance benefits in the event that he is involuntarily terminated following a Change in Control, as defined therein, at the Tier 1 level. A form of the Company’s Executive Change in Control Plan has been previously filed.

Termination of Employment. If Mr. Scaglione is involuntarily terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined in the Letter Agreement) or voluntarily resigns for Good Reason (as defined in the Letter Agreement), then the Company will pay to Mr. Scaglione the following as severance benefits:

 

(i)

18 months of Mr. Scaglione’s base salary at the rate in effect on the date of his employment termination;

 

(ii)

18 times the difference between the Company’s monthly COBRA charge on the date of Mr. Scaglione’s employment termination for the type of Company-provided group health plan coverage in effect for Mr. Scaglione on that date and the applicable active employee charge for such coverage;

 

(iii)

a bonus calculated based on actual performance under the Company’s annual bonus plan for the Company’s fiscal year in which the termination occurs, and Mr. Scaglione’s annual eligible earnings in the fiscal year in which the termination occurs, with payment under this subsection (iii) being made to Mr. Scaglione at the same time as payments are made to other participants in the corporate bonus program, as described in the Letter Agreement; and

 

(iv)

any earned but unpaid annual bonus for the completed fiscal year preceding the fiscal year of termination, which unpaid bonus will be paid when annual bonuses are paid to other senior executives for such fiscal year.

Miscellaneous. Mr. Scaglione will be eligible to participate in the Company’s Executive Car Allowance Program in accordance with its terms, as the terms may be amended from time to time (currently, a bi-weekly car allowance of $600).

Mr. Scaglione’s employment with the Company is also subject to the execution by him of the Company’s Associate Non-Competition, Confidentiality and Non-Solicitation Agreement (the “Associate Agreement”), which agreement contains customary covenants regarding confidentiality, non-disclosure, non-competition, non-solicitation, non-disparagement, and proprietary rights. The Associate Agreement is substantially similar to the Form of Associate Agreement between the Company and certain executives of the Company previously filed.

Your offer for employment is also conditioned upon your representation that you do not have any post-employment obligations (contractual or otherwise) that would limit in any respect your employment with Office Depot and your contemplated duties or otherwise subject Office Depot to liability for breach of any such obligations.  Your acceptance of employment shall constitute your affirmation of the foregoing representation.

Employment at Will/Severance:  All employment with Office Depot is at will, and nothing herein shall be construed to constitute an employment agreement or deemed a guarantee of continued employment.  In the event that, at any time during your employment (except as provided in the CIC Plan (defined below)), you are terminated by Office Depot without Cause, or you resign for Good Reason, Office Depot will pay to you, less applicable taxes and other deductions required by law, the sum of (i) 18 months of your then-prevailing base salary at the rate in effect on the date of your employment termination, (ii) 18 times the difference between Office Depot’s monthly COBRA charge on your date of employment termination for the type of Company-provided group health plan coverage in effect for you on that date and the applicable active employee charge for such coverage, (iii) bonus calculated based on actual performance under Office Depot’s annual bonus plan for Office Depot’s fiscal year in which the employment termination occurs, and your annual eligible earnings in the fiscal year in which the employment termination occurs, and (iv) any earned but unpaid annual bonus for the completed fiscal year preceding the fiscal year of termination, which unpaid bonus will be paid when annual bonuses are paid to other senior executives for such fiscal year.  Payment due under (iii), if any, will be made at the same time as payments are made to other active participants in the annual bonus plan following determination of actual performance by the Compensation Committee.  Office Depot must deliver to you a release agreement in a form substantially consistent with Office Depot’s standard form of general release used for officers and not inconsistent with the terms of this letter (the “Release”) within seven days following the date of your employment termination.  As a condition to receipt of the severance benefits specified in this section, you must (A) sign the Release and return the signed Release to Office Depot within the time period prescribed in the Release (which will not be more than 45 days after Office Depot delivers the Release to you), and (B) not revoke the Release within any seven-day revocation period that applies to you under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended; the total period of time described in (A) and (B) above is the “Release Period.”  Office Depot will pay the severance benefits specified in this section to you in a lump sum within 15 days following the expiration of the Release Period.  In the event you decline or fail for any reason to timely execute and deliver the Release or you revoke the Release, then you will not be entitled to the severance benefits specified in this section. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Office Depot, the severance benefits specified in this section shall be in lieu of any severance payment or benefit under any Office Depot severance plan, policy, program or practice (whether written or unwritten) and, therefore, such severance

benefits shall be the exclusive source of any severance benefits.  For purposes of this letter, other than as applies under the CIC Plan, Cause and Good Reason are defined as follows:

“Cause” means: (i) your willful failure to perform your material duties (other than any such failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness); (ii) your willful failure to comply with any valid and legal directive of the CEO; (iii) your engagement in dishonesty, illegal conduct or misconduct, which is, in each case, materially injurious to Office Depot or its affiliates; (iv) your embezzlement, misappropriation or fraud, whether or not related to your employment with Office Depot; (v) your conviction of or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to a crime that constitutes a felony (or state law equivalent) or a crime that constitutes a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude; (vi) your willful violation of a material policy of Office Depot; or (vii) your material breach of any material obligation under this letter, the Associate Non-Competition, Confidentiality and Non-Solicitation Agreement, or any other written agreement between Office Depot and you.  Termination of your employment shall not be deemed to be for Cause unless and until Office Depot delivers to you a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds of the Board, finding that you are guilty of the conduct described in any of (i) through (vii) above, after having afforded you a reasonable opportunity to appear (with counsel) before the Board. Except for a failure, breach or refusal which, by its nature, cannot reasonably be expected to be cured, you shall have thirty (30) business days from the delivery of written notice by Office Depot within which to cure any acts constituting Cause; provided, however, that if Office Depot reasonably expects irreparable injury from a delay of thirty business (30) days, Office Depot may give you notice of such shorter period within which to cure as is reasonable under the circumstances, which may include the termination of your employment without notice and with immediate effect. For purposes of this “Cause” definition, no act or failure by you shall be considered “willful” if such act is done by you in the good faith belief that such act is or was in the best interests of Office Depot or one or more of its businesses.

“Good Reason” means the occurrence of any one or more of the following, in each case without your written consent: (i) a material reduction in your Base Salary (as such annual base salary may be increased from time to time), except for across-the-board annual base salary reductions affecting the executive leadership team; (ii) the relocation of Office Depot’s principal executive office to a location more than fifty miles (or such longer distance that is the minimum permissible distance under the circumstances for purposes of the involuntary separation from service standards under the Treasury Regulations or other guidance under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 409A”)) from its location on your Start Date and that results in a material increase to your normal daily commute, except for required travel on business for Office Depot or any subsidiary; (iii) the failure of Office Depot to obtain a satisfactory agreement from any successor to assume and agree to perform this letter and the CIC Plan; or (iv) material breach by Office Depot of any material provision of this letter, unless arising from your inability to materially perform your duties contemplated hereunder; provided, however, that you will only have Good Reason if you provide notice of termination to Office Depot of the existence of the event or circumstance constituting Good Reason specified in any of the preceding clauses within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of such event or circumstances and if such event or circumstance is not cured within thirty (30) days after Office Depot’s receipt of such notice of termination. If you initiate your separation from service for Good Reason, the actual separation from service must occur within sixty (60) days after the date of the notice of termination. Your failure to timely give notice of termination of the occurrence of a specific event that would otherwise constitute Good Reason will not constitute a waiver of your right to give notice of any new subsequent event that would constitute Good Reason that occurs after such prior event (regardless of whether the new subsequent event is of the same or different nature as the preceding event).

Change in Control Plan:  You will be eligible to participate in the Executive Change in Control Plan (“CIC Plan”) which provides for severance in the event that you are involuntarily terminated following a Change in Control, as defined therein, at the Tier 1 level.  Enclosed you will find a copy of the CIC Plan for your reference as well as a Notice of Selection for Participation in Executive Change in Control Severance Plan (“Notice”) which requires your acceptance prior to your effective participation in the CIC Plan.  Please return the signed Notice to me along with your signed offer letter.

Tax Treatment:  This letter will be construed and administered to preserve the exemption from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the guidance thereunder (“Section 409A”)

 


of payments that qualify as short-term deferrals pursuant to Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(4) or that qualify for the two-times compensation exemption of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii).  With respect to other amounts that are subject to Section 409A, it is intended, and this letter will be so construed, that any such amounts payable under this letter and Office Depot’s and your exercise of authority or discretion hereunder shall comply with the provisions of Section 409A so as not to subject you to the payment of interest and additional tax that may be imposed under Section 409A.  As a result, with respect to any amount that is subject to Section 409A (i) references to your termination of employment shall be deemed references to your “separation from service” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(h), and (ii) in the event you are a “specified employee” within the meaning of Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(i) on the date of your separation from service (with such status determined by Office Depot in accordance with rules established by Office Depot in writing in advance of the “specified employee identification date” that relates to the date of your separation from service or in the absence of such rules established by Office Depot, under the default rules for identifying specified employees under Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(i)), any amount that is payable to you in connection with your separation from service shall be paid six months after such separation from service (if you die after the date of your separation from service but before a payment has been made, such payment will be paid to your estate without regard to such six-month delay).  You acknowledge and agree that Office Depot has made no representation to you as to the tax treatment of the compensation and benefits provided pursuant to this letter and that you are solely responsible for all taxes due with respect to such compensation and benefits.

 

Clawback Provisions:  Any incentive-based compensation or other amounts paid to you pursuant to any and all agreements or arrangements with the Company will be subject to clawback under any applicable Company clawback policy (including any such policy adopted by the Company pursuant to applicable law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement).

Miscellaneous:  Office Depot is required to verify your eligibility to work in the United States.  Accordingly, on your first day of work at Office Depot, you must complete an Employment Eligibility Verification Form and provide original documentation establishing your identity and employment eligibility.  The List of Acceptable Documents for this purpose is enclosed for your reference.

If you fail to provide the necessary documentation to establish your identity and eligibility to work in the United States by the close of business of your second day of work, you will not be permitted to work at Office Depot.

Anthony, we are excited to have you join management as Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer.  I look forward to your response as soon as practicable.

Regards,
