Blackbaud amended the employment agreement of CEO Michael P. Gianoni, effective March 10, 2025. His annual bonus is now an equity award rather than cash, and the amendment adds a new change-in-control COBRA reimbursement benefit. For shareholders, the filing shows a change in executive pay structure and severance terms, with the bonus tied to future stock value and performance goals.
Annual bonus target is 100% of base salary, with a payout range of 0% to 200% of target, paid in restricted stock units or restricted stock.
Severance bonus component is now a lump sum based on the average equity bonus value for the prior two calendar years, replacing the prior cash-based calculation.
New benefit: up to 12 months of COBRA premium reimbursement after a qualifying change-in-control termination.
On death or disability, unvested equity awards accelerate, and the cash bonus severance payment no longer applies.
