On March 13, 2019, John N. McMullen notified 3D Systems Corporation (the “Company”) of his intention to retire as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company effective as of December 31, 2019 or, if earlier, the date that a successor Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company is hired (the “Transition Date”).

 

In connection with Mr. McMullen’s decision to retire, on March 14, 2019, the Company and Mr. McMullen entered into a Transition Agreement (the “Transition Agreement”).

 

Pursuant to the Transition Agreement, Mr. McMullen will remain employed in his current position until the Transition Date. Following the Transition Date, Mr. McMullen will serve as a non-employee consultant to the Company for a period of 12 months (the “Consulting Period”). During the Consulting Period, Mr. McMullen shall perform such tasks and provide such services to which the Company and Mr. McMullen mutually agree.

 

Pursuant to the Transition Agreement, Mr. McMullen’s current base salary of $515,000 will continue until the Transition Date, after which Mr. McMullen will be entitled to receive an annual consulting payment equal to his current base salary, paid in 12 monthly installments during the Consulting Period. The Transition Agreement provides that Mr. McMullen’s 2019 annual incentive award in the amount of up to 50% of his applicable base salary, based on the determination of the Company’s Compensation Committee and Chief Executive Officer based on individual and Company performance goals, will be pro-rated based on the Transition Date. Mr. McMullen’s time-based equity awards will continue to be eligible to vest through the Consulting Period with any unvested time-based equity awards vesting on the last day of the Consulting Period. His performance-based equity awards will continue to be eligible to vest through the Transition Date. He will also continue to receive Company healthcare and other benefits available to other senior executives of the Company following the Transition Date and through the Consulting Period.

 

The preceding description of the Transition Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Transition Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, which is incorporated herein by reference.
