Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On May 16, 2019, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Integra LifeSciences Holdings Corporation (the “Company”), upon the recommendation of the Board’s Compensation Committee, adopted the Integra LifeSciences Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), effective May 16, 2019.
Under the Plan, a select group of management or highly compensated employees (within the meaning of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended) of the Company and its participating subsidiaries, including the Company’s “named executive officers,” may defer the payment and taxation of up to 75% of their base salary and up to 100% of bonus amounts and other eligible cash compensation. Cash deferrals are immediately vested; otherwise, deferrals generally vest as provided in the underlying compensation arrangement. The Plan also allows for discretionary supplemental employer contributions by the Company, in the Company’s sole discretion, which may be subject to a vesting schedule determined at the time such a contribution is made.
A participant’s compensation deferrals and discretionary supplemental employer contributions (if any) will be credited or debited with notional investment gains and losses equal to the experience of selected deemed investment funds offered under the Plan, which will be the same or similar to the investment funds offered under the Integra LifeSciences Corporation 401(k) plan, and elected by the participant.
A participant may elect to receive or begin receiving his or her deferred compensation and earnings thereon on a specified date or following separation from service, either in a lump sum or in annual installments, as provided in the Plan and elected by the participant. Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, payments may be accelerated in certain circumstances, including death of the participant.
The Plan is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and generally will be administered by the Company’s Retirement Plans Committee or its delegate. The Compensation Committee or the Retirement Plans Committee may amend or terminate the Plan in accordance with its terms.
The foregoing description of the Plan is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s related Registration Statement on Form S-8.
