Item 5.02.Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On September 26, 2023, Peloton Interactive, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that Tom Cortese will transition to a non-executive advisory role at the Company and that Nick Caldwell will succeed him as the Chief Product Officer of the Company on November 1, 2023. In connection with the change in Mr. Cortese’s role, Mr. Cortese has entered into a Transition Agreement (the “Founder Transition Agreement”) with the Company, pursuant to which Mr. Cortese has agreed to provide services to the Company through May 16, 2024 (the “Transition Date”) in order to facilitate a smooth and orderly transition of his responsibilities in his role as Chief Product Officer. Pursuant to the Founder Transition Agreement, Mr. Cortese will continue to be paid his annual base salary through the Transition Date, and his outstanding restricted stock awards will continue to vest in accordance with their terms. Unless earlier terminated for cause, Mr. Cortese’s termination on the Transition Date will be treated as a termination without cause under the Company’s Severance and Change in Control Plan (the “Severance Plan”), and he will be entitled to receive the non-change in control severance payments and benefits as a tier 1 participant provided under the Plan, except that Mr. Cortese: (i) agreed to forfeit vested and unvested stock options to purchase an aggregate of up to 1,164,159 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, in each case granted to him after February 2019, and (ii) will continue to hold stock options to purchase an aggregate of up to 2,228,536 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, which are fully vested and in each case were granted to him prior to February 2019.
The Severance Plan was filed as Exhibit 10.9 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 11, 2020, and is incorporated by reference herein. The Founder Transition Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto, and is incorporated by reference herein.
