Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On March 23, 2026, the board of directors (the “Board”) of Versigent Limited (the “Company”) appointed Mr. Paul Meister as a director of the Board, increasing the size of the Board from two to three directors, in each case effective as of 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on March 27, 2026. Upon his appointment, Mr. Meister will be a member of the Company’s Audit Committee, Compensation and Human Resources Committee and Nominating and Governance Committee.
The Board has determined that Mr. Meister (i) qualifies as an “independent” director under all applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), (ii) is financially literate as required by the rules and regulations of the NYSE, and satisfies the definition of “audit committee financial expert” set out in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act, and (iii) satisfies the requirements for audit committee membership established by Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act, and has no material relationship with the Company (either directly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company).
It is expected that Mr. Meister will be appointed as Chair of the Board as of and following the effective time of the previously announced distribution of the ordinary shares of the Company by Aptiv PLC (“Aptiv”) to holders of Aptiv’s ordinary shares on a pro rata basis (the “Spin-Off”). The Spin-Off is expected to be effective as of 12:01 a.m., New York City time, on April 1, 2026 (the “Distribution Date”). The Company will convert into a public limited company and will be renamed Versigent PLC upon the effectiveness of the Spin-Off. Following the conversion, the Board will exist as the board of directors of the Company as a public limited company.
Biographical information for Mr. Meister is set forth in the section titled “Management” of the Information Statement, dated March 12, 2026 (the “Information Statement”), filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC on March 12, 2026, and such information and description are incorporated by reference herein.
Mr. Meister has no family relationships with any member of the Board or any executive officer of the Company and is not a party to any transactions that would be disclosed under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Meister and any other person and the Company pursuant to which Mr. Meister was appointed to serve in his role.
Following the consummation of the Spin-Off, Mr. Meister will participate in the Company’s director compensation program, pursuant to which Mr. Meister is expected to receive annual compensation in the amount of $300,000 for his services as a non-employee director, which will be paid in cash and time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and an additional annual cash retainer of $185,000 for his service as non-executive Chair of the Board. Mr. Meister may elect, on an annual basis, to receive 60%, 80% or 100% of his annual compensation in RSUs, with the remainder to be paid in cash. Cash amounts will be payable quarterly in arrears and will be prorated for partial years of service. RSU grants will be made on the day of the Company’s annual shareholder meeting and will generally vest on the day before the next annual meeting (other than during the calendar year in which the Spin-Off occurs, in which case, RSU grants will be made following the Spin-Off). Mr. Meister will be required to hold $600,000 in the Company’s ordinary shares and has up to five years from his date of appointment to fulfill this holding requirement.
