HubSpot adopts Executive Severance Plan covering CEO and other named officers

Neutral Impact 2 of 5 leadership Written later

HubSpot's Board approved an Executive Severance Plan on April 10, 2025, covering its CEO and other named executive officers except Messrs. Halligan and Shah. The plan sets out cash severance, COBRA premium payments and equity vesting terms for qualifying terminations, with larger payouts if termination occurs during a change-in-control period. The filing does not report a financial result, so the direct effect on shareholders depends on how the plan's terms are applied.

Key points

  • Board approved the Executive Severance Plan on April 10, 2025; the plan's term ends April 10, 2028 unless extended.
  • Outside a change in control, the CEO's severance includes base salary plus pro-rated target bonus paid over 12 months, and up to 12 months of COBRA premiums.
  • During a change-in-control period, the CEO receives a lump sum equal to 1.5 times base salary plus target bonus, and up to 18 months of COBRA premiums.
  • Payments require a separation agreement and release, including a general release of claims.
