Mr. Schrepfer will continue to receive his base salary based on his current annual rate during the transition period and will remain eligible to participate in the employee benefits offered by the Company. In addition, in consideration for releases of claims and subject to the terms of the Agreement, Mr. Schrepfer will be entitled to receive an annual bonus for 2020 of $288,780 and accelerated vesting of his outstanding stock awards that would have vested had he remained with the Company through April 10, 2021.

Prior to joining Taro, he held positions with Xiromed US, Perrigo Pharmaceuticals, and Agis Group. Throughout his career, he has managed sales teams, built a commercial operations team, led M&A due diligence activities, and negotiated new business development and joint venture agreements.
