Explanatory Note
This
Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) is being filed by BrightView Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) to
amend the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 15, 2022
(the “Initial Form 8-K”), solely to supplement the Company’s disclosure under Item 5.02 of the Initial Form 8-K to provide
a description of the terms of the Transition Services and Separation Agreement entered into between the Company, BrightView Landscapes,
LLC (the “Employer”) and Jeffery R. Herold on July 20, 2023 (the “Transition Agreement”). At the time of the filing
of the Initial 8-K, the terms of the Transition Agreement had yet to be definitively determined. This Amendment does not otherwise modify
or update any other disclosures in the Initial Form 8-K.
Item 5.02 | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of
Certain Officers. |
As previously disclosed in
the Initial Form 8-K, the Company announced on December 15, 2022 that Jeffery R. Herold stepped down as President of the Evergreen West
(Maintenance Services) business (“Evergreen West”) of the Company, effective at the close of business on December 13, 2022
(the “Transition Date”) and that he will provide services as a non-executive employee for a period of time after the Transition
Date. In connection with Mr. Herold’s transition from President of Evergreen West to a non-executive employee, Fred Freund took
the role of President of Evergreen West effective December 14, 2022.
On July 20, 2023, the
Company, the Employer and Mr. Herold entered into the Transition Agreement, which, in exchange for a release of claims and other
valuable consideration, provides that Mr. Herold will be employed full-time as a non-executive employee of the Employer during the
period beginning on August 1, 2023 and continuing until August 1, 2024 (the “Termination Date”), unless earlier
terminated under the Transition Agreement. Pursuant to Transition Agreement, Mr. Herold will (i) receive an annual base salary of
$247,000 beginning August 1, 2023; (ii) have an opportunity to earn an annual incentive bonus for fiscal year 2023 in connection with his services as President of Evergreen West, subject to terms and conditions of the Company’s annual bonus plan, with a
target annual bonus of $363,750 (equal to his target annual bonus opportunity in effect at the beginning of fiscal year 2023); and
(iii) continue to be eligible to participate in the employee benefit plans generally available to employees of the Company. Under
the Transition Agreement, Mr. Herold is subject to the restrictive covenants contained in the employment letter agreement with the
Employer, dated July 2, 2018 (the “Employment Letter”).
Under the Transition Agreement,
if Mr. Herold terminates employment on the Termination Date, or is terminated by the Employer without “cause” (as defined
in the Employment Letter) then, subject to his timely execution and non-revocation of a release of claims, he will be eligible to receive
a severance payment equal to his annual base salary as in effect prior to the Transition Date ($495,000), payable over the 12-month period
following the Termination Date, and up to 18 months of COBRA premium reimbursements equal to the employer portion of such premium.
In connection with Mr. Herold’s
termination, Mr. Herold will forfeit all unvested equity awards; provided, however, if Mr. Herold terminates employment on the Termination
Date, or is terminated by the Company without cause on or after March 31, 2024 and prior to the Termination Date (each a “Qualifying
Termination”) then, subject to Mr. Herold’s continued compliance with the Transition Agreement and any restrictive covenants
he is subject to through the applicable vesting dates: (i) a Qualifying Termination will be treated as “retirement” for purposes
of the awards of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock unit (“PSUs”) granted in fiscal year 2022
under the terms of the applicable grant agreements (and any notice requirements will be waived), and as a result, (x) the 29,779 RSUs
granted in fiscal year 2022 will continue to vest in accordance with their terms in substantially equal installments on November 18, 2024,
November 18, 2025 and November 18, 2026, and (y) a prorated portion of the target PSUs granted in fiscal year 2022 (which would be 26,470
for a Qualifying Termination on the Termination date) will continue to vest in accordance with their terms, subject to actual performance
results for the full performance period; and (ii) 4,937 RSUs granted in fiscal year 2021 and 5,280 RSUs granted in fiscal year 2020 will
remain outstanding and vest on November 18, 2024 and November 19, 2024, respectively. Any vested options will remain exercisable for 90
days following the Termination Date (or any earlier termination of employment).
