IonQ amends executive severance plan; adjusts triggers and PSU acceleration terms
IonQ, Inc.
- Termination after Change in Control Period no longer qualifies for severance benefits under amended plan.
- Pre-CIC termination now eligible for target annual bonus, prorated bonus, and 100% acceleration of time-based equity.
- For CEOs only, conversion to subsidiary or reporting change after CIC can still be Good Reason; for others it does not.
- Relocation more than 50 miles not Good Reason if employee permitted to work from home.
- PSU acceleration in CIC termination uses greater of target or projected performance; stock price hurdle still applies.
