Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

 

On July 21, 2020, Tailored Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that, as a result of the unprecedented and industrywide business disruptions resulting from the coronavirus pandemic, it is implementing a series of organizational changes.

 

Specifically, the Company will make organizational changes that will result in the elimination of approximately 20% of its corporate positions by the end of the fiscal second quarter. In connection with the corporate workforce reduction, the Company expects to record a pre-tax charge of approximately $6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 for severance payments and other termination costs, all of which are cash costs.

 

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

 

Jack Calandra, the Company’s current Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, will be leaving the Company. This event occurred on July 15, 2020. Mr. Calandra will remain employed by the Company through July 31, 2020 and, in accordance with the terms of his separation agreement, will receive a lump sum of $600,000 upon his departure, which is the equivalent of one year’s base salary. Pursuant to his separation agreement, Mr. Calandra provides a full release of all claims related to his employment with and/or separation from the Company and agrees not to work for certain named competitors of the Company or solicit employees from the Company for a period of twelve months following his termination date. The Company has no immediate plans to replace Mr. Calandra. In the near term, Mr. Calandra’s responsibilities will be divided between Dinesh Lathi, President and Chief Executive Officer, and Holly Etlin, a Managing Director at AlixPartners who has been appointed to a newly created role of Chief Restructuring Officer with the Company.

 

Effective August 2, 2020, John Vazquez, age 43, has been appointed Chief Accounting Officer and Treasurer of the Company and will also serve as the Company’s principal financial officer.

Mr. Vazquez is a Certified Public Accountant licensed in the state of Florida.

 

There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Vazquez and any other persons pursuant to which Mr. Vazquez was selected as an officer. Neither Mr. Vazquez nor any related person of Mr. Vazquez has a direct or indirect material interest in any existing or currently proposed transaction to which the Company is or may become a party. Mr. Vazquez is not related to any of the executive officers or directors of the Company.

Mr. Vazquez will receive an annual base salary of $250,000. His 2020 annual incentive and long term incentives will be determined in due course by the Company’s Compensation and Organizational Development Committee at the same time the determination is made for other executives of the Company. Mr. Vazquez also participates in the Company’s Vice President Change in Control Severance Plan.
