Employment Agreement
In connection with the entry into the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of August 6, 2020, by and among Third Point Reinsurance Ltd. (the “Company), Sirius International Insurance Group Ltd. (“Sirius”), a Bermuda exempted company limited by shares, and Yoga Merger Sub Limited (“Merger Sub”), a Bermuda exempted company limited by shares and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into Sirius (the “Merger”), with Sirius continuing as the surviving company in the Merger, as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company, to be renamed SiriusPoint Ltd., following the Merger is referred to herein as the “Surviving Company”. The Company has agreed to the terms of an employment agreement with Sid Sankaran, dated as of August 6, 2020 (the “Employment Agreement”), pursuant to which Mr. Sankaran has been appointed Chairman of the Board and, concurrently with the closing of the Merger (“Closing”), shall be appointed as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Surviving Company. The employment term for Mr. Sankaran will be three years beginning on the Closing with an automatic one-year renewal, subject to a 90-day contractual non-renewal notice period that may be exercised by either party. During the employment term, Mr. Sankaran is entitled to receive (a) an annual salary of $1,000,000, (b) a target bonus of 75% of his annual salary, and (c) an annual equity award equal to 475% of his annual salary. The first annual equity award will be granted in calendar year 2021 within 30 days after the Closing. Immediately following the public announcement of the execution of the Merger Agreement, on August 6, 2020, Mr. Sankaran was granted a restricted share award with a grant date fair value of $3,000,000 (the “Announcement Share Award”), and immediately following the Closing he will be granted a restricted share award with a grant date fair value of $5,500,000 (the “Closing Share Award”) and an award of 400,000 options to purchase common shares, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Company (“Company Shares”) with an exercise price equal to $15.00 per Company Share or, if higher, the closing price on the grant date (the “Closing Option Award,” and, together with the Announcement Share Award and the Closing Share Award, the “Initial Awards”). The Initial Awards will generally vest in five equal installments on each anniversary of the Closing, subject to Mr. Sankaran’s continued services to the Surviving Company.
If, following the Closing, Mr. Sankaran’s employment is terminated by the Surviving Company without cause (or by reason of non-renewal of the Employment Agreement), if Mr. Sankaran resigns for good reason, Mr. Sankaran will be entitled to receive: (i) all accrued and unpaid base salary and benefits, (ii) an annual bonus payment, prorated for the period of his service prior to the termination date; (iii) payment of two times the sum of Mr. Sankaran’s base salary and target annual bonus opportunity; (iv) 24 months of continued participation in medical and life insurance benefits at active employee rates; (v) accelerated vesting of any portion of the Initial Awards that would vest within two years following his termination; (vii) any vested options to purchase Company Shares held by Mr. Sankaran will remain exercisable until their normal expiration date; and (viii) his performance shares will remain outstanding through the scheduled vesting dates and will vest pro rata through the termination date and/or be forfeited based solely on satisfaction of the applicable performance goals without regard to his continued service. The payment of the above shall be contingent on Mr. Sankaran executing a general release of all claims against the Surviving Company. Mr. Sankaran will be subject to 24 month post-termination non-compete and non-solicitation restrictions.
