Section 5—Corporate Governance and Management

 

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(e) On May 30, 2008, the Compensation and Leadership Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company’s indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary, Freescale Semiconductor, Inc., authorized and approved a form of Employment Agreement to be entered into with certain senior executives, including certain named executive officers (the “Form Employment Agreement”). The Form Employment Agreement provides for the annual base salary and initial target bonus for the executive on the date the Employment Agreement is executed.

The Form Employment Agreement also provides that the executive will be eligible to participate in any long-term incentive plans or programs and welfare and other benefit plans established by Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. for its senior officers generally.

The executive is also entitled to severance upon a qualifying termination of employment. The severance prior to a change in control is equal to the executive’s pro-rated bonus plus two times the executive’s annual base salary if the executive is terminated on or prior to December 31, 2009; and one and a half times the executive’s annual base salary if the executive is terminated on or after January 1, 2010. Upon a qualifying termination in connection with a change in control, the executive is entitled to severance equal to the executive’s pro-rated bonus plus two times the executive’s annual base salary and target bonus. In addition, Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. will provide a gross-up payment to the executive under certain circumstances with respect to excise taxes resulting from parachute payments received by the executive upon a qualifying termination following a change in control.

The Form Employment Agreement also includes a release of claims and non-competition and non-solicitation covenants by the executive for a two-year period following termination of employment with Freescale Semiconductor, Inc.

The Form Employment Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
