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

On June 15, 2022, AGCO Corporation (the “Company”) announced that effective July 1, 2022, Andrew H. Beck would be stepping down as Chief Financial Officer and would be replaced by Damon J. Audia. Mr. Audia joins AGCO from Kennametal Inc., an industrial technology leader specializing in tooling and wear-resistant solutions, where he served as the CFO since August 2018. Prior to Kennametal, Mr. Audia served as Senior Vice President and CFO at Carpenter Technology Corporation, a global manufacturer of premium specialty alloys. Mr. Audia is 51 years old.

In connection with his appointment, the Company entered into an Employment and Severance Agreement with Mr. Audia. The Agreement provides for a base salary of $700,000 per year, and customary incentive compensation and other benefits. The Agreement also contains customary non-compete, non-solicitation and confidentiality provisions and severance benefits when the termination is without “cause” or for “good reason.” The size of the severance benefits depends on whether the termination involved a change of control.

Mr. Beck will serve as Senior Advisor to both the CEO and the new CFO until early 2023.

A copy of the Company’s press release dated June 15, 2022, announcing Mr. Beck’s retirement and Mr. Audia’s appointment is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
