Group 1 Automotive, Inc. updated the severance terms for executive Daryl Kenningham through a second amendment to his existing Incentive Compensation, Confidentiality, Non-Disclosure and Non-Compete Agreement. The change focuses on what he would receive if his employment ends under certain specified circumstances.
If Mr. Kenningham resigns because of a material breach by the company, after a Constructive Termination Event, or after a Termination Without Cause, he would receive 1.5 times the sum of his base salary and target annual bonus, eighteen months of COBRA health coverage, and a pro-rated bonus for the year of termination. If those events or an involuntary compensation reduction occur within six months after a Corporate Change, the cash multiple increases to 2.0 times and COBRA coverage extends to twenty-four months.
Severance will be paid in a lump sum on the first day of the seventh month after separation, contingent on his compliance with restrictive covenants and delivery of a release. These severance benefits remain his sole remedy in connection with his employment and termination, and all other terms of the agreement stay in effect.
