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

 

On September 5, 2024, Amcor plc (the “Company”) announced that Fred Stephanthe Company’s President, Amcor Flexibles North America, will become Chief Operating Officer of the Company (the “COO”), effective immediately.

 

Mr. Stephan, 59, has served as President of Amcor Flexibles North America and a member of the Global Management Team, since joining Amcor in June 2019 with the acquisition of Bemis Company, where he was President of Bemis North America. Mr. Stephan has also had oversight of the Amcor Flexibles Latin America business since April 2024. From 2004 to 2017, Mr. Stephan served in senior executive and commercial roles at Johns Manville, a Berkshire Hathaway company, including as Senior Vice President and General Manager, Insulation Systems. Previously, Mr. Stephan spent five years at General Electric, ultimately serving as President and CEO of GE Lighting Systems. He began his career at GE Plastics. Mr. Stephan earned his B.S. in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Purdue University.

 

Mr. Stephan is a party to an employment agreement with the Company, dated June 21, 2019 (the “Original Employment Agreement”). On September 5, 2024, in connection with Mr. Stephan’s appointment to the COO role, he entered into a letter agreement with the Company, dated as of such date (the “COO Letter Agreement”) that sets forth employment and compensation terms relating to his role as the COO, and which incorporates certain terms of the Original Employment Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the COO Letter Agreement, Mr. Stephan will receive an annualized base salary of USD 1,150,000. He will continue to participate in the Management Incentive Plan (the “MIP”) including a target percentage of 100% of base salary and payouts ranging from 0 to 200% of base salary based on individual and Company performance. Mr. Stephan will continue to participate in the Company’s Equity Management Incentive Plan (the “EMIP”), with an annual grant valued at 50% of the cash MIP payout paid to him and delivered in the form of time-based restricted share units (“RSUs”). He will also continue to participate in the Long-Term Incentive Plan with grants made to him based on a grant date fair value of 225% of his base salary.

 

If the Company were to terminate Mr. Stephan other than for cause (as set forth in his Original Employment Agreement) while he is serving as COO, then he would be entitled to severance equivalent to twelve month’s base salary. Mr. Stephan’s restrictive covenants, as set forth in his Original Employment Agreement, continue for twelve months following termination of employment. The notice period for Mr. Stephan to terminate his employment as identified under his Original Employment Agreement is changed to six months’ written notice.

 

There are no transactions since the beginning of the Company’s last fiscal year in which the Company is a participant and in which Mr. Stephan or any members of his immediate family have any interest that are required to be reported under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. No family relationships exist between Mr. Stephan and any of the Company’s directors or executive officers. The appointment of Mr. Stephan was not pursuant to any arrangement or understanding between him and any person, other than a director or executive officer of the Company acting in his or her official capacity.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the COO Letter Agreement and the Original Employment Agreement are not complete and are in summary form only and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the COO Letter Agreement and the Original Employment Agreement, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, respectively.

I also agree not to use or disclose any confidential information of any of my prior employers for the benefit of the Company and to continue to abide by all confidentiality agreements I may have with my prior employers. I further agree not to bring onto the Company’s premises, or electronically transmit, any documents incorporating confidential information of any prior employer.

This Agreement may not be modified, waived, or terminated unless such modification, waiver, or termination is agreed to in a writing signed by me and AMCOR. The failure of the Company to enforce any provision of this Agreement or to act promptly after a breach shall not be deemed a waiver of any of AMCOR’s or the Company’s rights. This Agreement is for the benefit of and is binding upon AMCOR’s and the Company’s agents, successors and assigns, as well as my heirs, executors, representatives, and agents. This is the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, and representations of the parties pertaining to the subject matter set forth in this Agreement.
