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

On January 20, 2023, David Stefko, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer of Vince Holding Corp. (the “Company”), notified the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) of his decision to retire and to resign from his positions, effective February 10, 2023. Mr. Stefko’s decision to resign is not related to any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. On January 20, 2023, the Board approved the appointment of Amy “Levy” Trooskin to serve as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company and its subsidiaries, effective February 10, 2023. Mr. Stefko will continue to serve as a part-time advisor to the Company to assist with the transition through May 2023, which period may be extended based on a mutual agreement.

 

Ms. Levy, age 37, joined the Company in 2016 and currently serves as Senior Vice President, FP&A and Investor Relations of the Company. Previously, Ms. Levy served as a senior member of the finance team at Michael Kors.

 

Concurrently with her appointment, Ms. Levy entered into an employment letter with the Company which provides for the following compensation for Ms. Levy: (i) a base salary of $425,000; (ii) annual cash bonus opportunity at target of 60% of base salary, provided predetermined performance metrics are met; and (iii) a grant of 9,107 restricted stock units on February 10, 2023, vesting ratably over four years on the first, second, third and fourth anniversary of the grant date.

 

If Ms. Levy’s employment is terminated by the Company without “cause” (as such term is defined in the Company’s Amended and Restated 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan), Ms. Levy will be eligible to receive severance benefits equivalent to her then current base rate of pay for twelve (12) months, subject to a satisfactory release by her.

 

There are no family relationships between Ms. Levy and any director, executive officer or nominees thereof of the Company. There are no related party transactions between the Company and Ms. Levy that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

A copy of the press release announcing Mr. Stefko’s retirement and resignation as well as Ms. Levy’s appointment is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
