On August 14, 2023, the Company notified Olaf Heyden, the Company’s Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer, that his service agreement will not be renewed and will otherwise expire on February 24, 2024 in accordance with its term. Mr. Heyden is expected to remain with the Company into the fourth quarter of 2023 to assist with the transition process. Mr. Heyden will receive severance compensation consistent with the terms of his service agreement, as described in Exhibit 10.14 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The Company has also notified David Caldwell, the Company’s Executive Vice President, Strategy & Corporate Development, that his position will be eliminated. Mr. Caldwell will receive severance compensation consistent with the Company’s Senior Leadership Severance Plan in connection with a termination without cause, as described in the Company’s Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2023. Mr. Caldwell is expected to remain with the Company through the end of the year to ensure an appropriate transition.
As previously disclosed, Jonathan B. Leiken, Executive Vice President, Chief Legal Officer and Secretary of the Company, is resigning to accept another senior executive position outside of the Company. In light of Mr. Leiken’s contributions to the Company’s restructuring efforts and his willingness to delay the commencement of his new role prior to the Company’s emergence from those proceedings, the Board of Directors has waived the repayment obligation of the previously disclosed retention award he received. Elizabeth C. (Lisa) Radigan, has succeeded Mr. Leiken as the Company’s Executive Vice President, Chief Legal Officer and Secretary.
