Jerry V. Noyce Retirement
On February 4, 2008, Health Fitness Corporation (the “Company”) announced that Jerry V. Noyce retired from the Company and his employment as Vice Chairman was terminated, effective January 31, 2008, but he will continue to serve as a director on the Company’s Board of Directors.
The Company entered into an Agreement for Separation From Employment (the “Agreement”) with Mr. Noyce. The Agreement provides that the Company will pay Mr. Noyce (i) a lump sum equal to his base salary for 2007, or $275,000, and (ii) a bonus payment for 2007 of $15,000. In addition, Mr. Noyce’s Restricted Stock Agreement with the Company, dated June 1, 2007, will be amended such that Mr. Noyce will receive a fully vested allocation of the appropriate number of shares of restricted stock for achievement of 2007 performance objectives set by the Board of Directors. There will be no vesting of shares of restricted stock relating to 2008 and 2009 performance objectives; accordingly, the maximum number of shares of restricted stock held by Mr. Noyce under the Restricted Stock Agreement that will vest will be reduced from 125,000 to a number based upon the final 2007 audit of the applicable performance objectives. Mr. Noyce will also receive a lump sum payment of approximately $3,000 to compensate him for accrued but unused vacation time through the end of his employment. The Agreement also provides for the payment by the Company of group health coverage premiums under COBRA for 18 months or until Mr. Noyce reaches age 65, whichever occurs first. In return, Mr. Noyce has granted the Company a general release of any past claims by Mr. Noyce against the Company, including, but not limited to, any discrimination or other employment-related claims. The Company has also entered into a Consulting Agreement with Mr. Noyce, pursuant to which Mr. Noyce will perform consulting services for the Company from time to time, until the Consulting Agreement is terminated by either party, at a rate of $200 per hour, with the hours in any calendar year not to exceed 19.9% of the hours he worked in 2007.
The foregoing descriptions of the Agreement and the Consulting Agreement are intended to be a summary of these agreements and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Agreement and the Consulting Agreement, which are attached to this Report as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively, and incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein.
