Astec Industries adopts executive severance plan covering named executive officers

Neutral Impact 2 of 5 leadership Written later

Astec Industries' Board approved an Executive and Key Employee Severance Plan on December 18, 2024, covering key employees, including four named executive officers. The plan sets severance pay and benefits if participants are terminated without cause or resign for good reason, with larger payments if the termination occurs within 24 months after a change in control. The filing does not report any financial results or an executive departure.

Key points

  • Plan approved by the Board on December 18, 2024; Jaco van der Merwe is a Tier I Participant, and Brian Harris, Michael Norris and Ben Snyman are Tier II Participants.
  • Tier I change-in-control severance is 3.0 times base salary and target bonus, with 36 months of group health costs; Tier II is 2.0 times with 24 months.
  • Participants must sign a restrictive covenant agreement; existing individual severance agreements with named executive officers terminate upon acknowledgment.
