Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On May 1, 2026, Luxfer Holdings PLC (the “Company”) entered into Executive Severance and Change in Control Agreements and/or Amended and Restated Executive Severance and Change in Control Agreements (collectively, the “Agreements”) with certain executive officers, including the following named executive officers (the “NEOs”): Andrew Butcher, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer; Stephen Webster, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer; Howard Mead, the Company’s Vice President and General Manager, Luxfer Gas Cylinders – Composite; and Jeffrey Moorefield, the Company’s Vice President and General Manager, Luxfer Magtech.
The Agreements provide for termination payments, other benefits and related conditions for receipt of such payments and other benefits in connection with certain qualifying termination events, all of which are substantially consistent with the payments, other benefits and related conditions currently contemplated in connection with such termination events by the NEOs’ existing employment arrangements with the Company, or existing executive and severance and change in control agreements with the Company, each as described in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 30, 2026 under the heading “Termination and Change in Control,” except for the following:
|
●
|
In each of the Agreements, the provisions relating to covenants of the NEOs reflect an updated approach imposing certain responsibilities on the NEO during the notice period and requiring the NEO to provide reasonable assistance to the Company, and omit obligations relating to non-competition and, in the Agreements of Mr. Butcher and Mr. Mead, non-solicitation.
|
|
●
|
In the Agreements of Messrs. Mead and Moorefield, the definition of a “Change in Control Termination” has been modified to include, in addition to a qualifying termination of employment in connection with a Change in Control (as defined in the Agreement), a qualifying termination of employment upon or during the two-year period following a disposition by the Company or an affiliate or subsidiary of more than 75% of (i) the aggregate assets used by the Company, affiliate or subsidiary in the Division (as defined in the Agreement) with respect to which the NEO then primarily provides services (the “Primary Division”) or (ii) its equity interests in the entity or entities holding substantially all of assets of the Primary Division, in each case to an unrelated entity and in each case as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company.
|
The preceding description of the Agreements is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by the text of the Agreements, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 (Mr. Butcher’s Agreement), Exhibit 10.2 (Mr. Webster’s Agreement), Exhibit 10.3 (Mr. Mead’s Agreement) and Exhibit 10.4 (Mr. Moorefield’s Agreement).
