On October 28, 2015, we announced David A. Brearton, our Executive Vice President, Strategic Initiatives would retire at the end of 2015.
On December 15, 2015, one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Mondelēz Global LLC (Mondelēz Global), entered into a retirement agreement (the Agreement) with Mr. Brearton, which is typical for the retirement of a senior executive. The Agreement provides Mr. Brearton receives benefits in connection with his retirement, including: a full 2015 Management Incentive Program award based on target performance for the individual performance component and actual performance for the company performance component; early retirement eligibility for purposes of stock options; vesting of his entire 2013 restricted stock grant and two-thirds of his 2014 restricted stock grant on December 31, 2015, his last day of employment with Mondelēz Global (Mr. Brearton will forfeit all other unvested restricted stock); and eligibility to receive his entire award of performance share units subject to the 2013-2015 performance cycle and a pro-rated award of performance share units subject to each of the 2014-2016 performance cycle and the 2015-2017 performance cycle, if any, in all cases based on actual company performance against the applicable performance goals.
The Agreement also subjects him to restrictive covenants, including a non-compete, and confidentiality provisions, provides for a release of claims and is intended to comply with, or be exempt from, Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
