Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On May 4, 2015, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of XPO Logistics, Inc. (XPO) approved the appointment of Hervé Montjotin as President of XPO and Chief Executive Officer of XPO Logistics Europe, subject to and effective upon the consummation of XPOs planned acquisition of a majority stake in Norbert Dentressangle SA (ND) (such acquisition, the Transaction) pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement relating to ND and the Tender Offer Agreement between XPO and ND (the Transaction Agreements), in each case as previously disclosed on the Form 8-K filed by XPO with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 29, 2015.
Mr. Montjotin, 49, is the current Chairman of the Executive Board and Chief Executive Officer of ND. Prior to serving in his current position with ND, Mr. Montjotin served as the Transport Division Managing Director and Managing Director of ND from 2001 until 2012, and as HR Director from 1996 until 2001. Mr. Montjotin is a graduate of the Ecole Normale Superieure and obtained an advanced degree in Social Sciences and a Masters degree from ESCP Europe Paris business school.
Concurrently with approval of this appointment, the Compensation Committee also approved two letter agreements between XPO and Mr. Montjotin. Pursuant to the letter agreements, XPO has agreed to make an inducement equity grant to Mr. Montjotin, following and contingent upon the consummation of the Transaction. The letter agreements also address, among other things, treatment of Mr. Montjotins existing ND incentive arrangements in connection with the Transaction, and impose various restrictive covenants upon Mr. Montjotin, including a three-year post-termination non-competition covenant.
