Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On March 25, 2026, HA Sustainable Infrastructure Capital, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted the HA Sustainable Infrastructure Capital, Inc. Executive Protection Plan (the “Severance Plan”), pursuant to which the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and certain management employees of the Company as determined by the Compensation Committee (each, including the CEO, a “Covered Employee”), will be eligible to receive certain severance benefits as described in the Severance Plan. Effective May 1, 2026, the Severance Plan will provide Tier A benefits to the CEO, Tier B benefits to the Company’s named executive officers and Tier C benefits to other members of management as determined by the Compensation Committee from time to time.
Under the terms of the Severance Plan, in the event of a “Qualifying Termination,” which generally means a termination of a Covered Employee’s employment by the Company without Cause (as defined in the Severance Plan) (other than due to death or disability) or, for Covered Employees in Tier A or Tier B only, a resignation by the Covered Employee due to a Constructive Termination (as defined in the Severance Plan), the Covered Employee will be eligible to receive severance benefits based on the Covered Employee’s applicable benefit tier as summarized herein.
Severance Benefits for a Qualifying Change in Control Termination
In the event of a Qualifying Termination that occurs during the one-year period beginning on the date of a Change in Control (as defined in the Severance Plan) of the Company (a “Change in Control Period”), the severance benefits are as follows:
•
Tier A: a lump sum cash payment equal to 3.0 times the sum of the Covered Employee’s annual base salary and average bonus, and a COBRA continuation payment for 24 months;
•
Tier B: a lump sum cash payment equal to 2.0 times the sum of the Covered Employee’s annual base salary and average bonus, and a COBRA continuation payment for 18 months; and
•
Tier C: a lump sum cash payment equal to 1.5 times the sum of the Covered Employee’s annual base salary and average bonus, and a COBRA continuation payment for 12 months.
Severance Benefits for a Non-Change in Control Qualifying Termination
For a Qualifying Termination that occurs other than during a Change in Control Period, the severance benefits are as follows:
•
Tier A: a lump sum cash payment equal to 3.0 times the sum of the Covered Employee’s annual base salary and average bonus, and a COBRA continuation payment for 24 months;
•
Tier B: a lump sum cash payment equal to 1.5 times the sum of the Covered Employee’s annual base salary and average bonus, and a COBRA continuation payment for 18 months; and
•
Tier C: a lump sum cash payment equal to 1.0 times the sum of the Covered Employee’s annual base salary and average bonus, and a COBRA continuation payment for 12 months.
Additional Terms
Among other eligibility conditions, a Covered Employee must sign and return a participation agreement to participate in the Severance Plan. Also, payment of severance benefits under the Severance Plan is subject to the Covered Employee’s execution and non-revocation of a release of claims and compliance with certain restrictive covenants applicable to the Covered Employee.
In addition, the Severance Plan provides that severance benefits will be subject to a reduction in order to avoid any excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code if the total payments to a Covered Employee in connection with a Change in Control would exceed the threshold for “parachute payments” (with such reduction applied only if it would result in a greater after-tax benefit to the individual than receiving the full payments and paying the excise tax). The Severance Plan does not provide any tax gross-up payments to Covered Employees for excise taxes.
The foregoing description of the Severance Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Severance Plan, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2026.
