ITEM 5.02. | DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS. |
On August 7, 2025, Veralto Corporation (the “Company”) announced that Sylvia A. Stein will cease to serve as Senior Vice President and Chief Legal Officer effective October 31, 2025 (the “Last Active Date”). Ms. Stein’s departure from the Company is not a result of any disagreement with the Company’s independent auditors or any member of management on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or internal controls.
In order to facilitate a smooth and orderly transition, on August 1, 2025, the Company and Ms. Stein entered into a Separation Agreement and General Release (the “Severance Agreement”), pursuant to which she will continue to serve in her current capacity until October 31, 2025 and thereafter remain employed by the Company in a transitional role until her termination from employment on January 2, 2026 (the “Separation Date,” and the period between the Last Active Date and the Separation Date, the “Transition Period”).
During the Transition Period, Ms. Stein will (i) continue to receive her regular base salary, less applicable withholdings and taxes, (ii) be entitled to continued vesting of all outstanding equity awards through the Separation Date, and (iii) continue to participate in the Company’s employee benefit plans.
Assuming the fulfillment of all obligations during the Transition Period, the non-revocation of the Severance Agreement (including the delivery of the Release included therein), and provided that prior to the Separation Date Ms. Stein does not resign without “good reason” or engage in conduct that would constitute “cause” as defined in the Veralto Corporation Senior Leaders Severance Pay Plan (as amended, the “Plan”), following the Separation Date, Ms. Stein will be entitled to receive (i) her annual target incentive compensation for fiscal year 2025, to be approved by the Company’s compensation committee and paid in the ordinary course in March 2026, and (ii) the separation payments due under and in accordance with sections III and IV and the related terms of the Plan. The Plan was previously filed with the SEC as Exhibits 10.28, 10.29 and 10.30 to the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, filed February 25, 2025. No new compensatory arrangements are being entered into with Ms. Stein in connection with her departure from the Company.
The above description of the Separation Agreement and General Release is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Separation Agreement and General Release, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1.
