Retirement of Executive Chairman on December 31, 2019

On June 6, 2019, Eric F. Billings informed the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Arlington Asset Investment Corp. (the “Company”) that he will retire as Executive Chairman of the Company after 30 years of service on December 31, 2019.  Following his retirement, Mr. Billings will no longer serve on the Board nor will he be an employee of the Company. Mr. Billings will become a consultant to the Company on January 1, 2020, for a two-year term.  Mr. Billings is expected to continue in his current role as Executive Chairman until December 31, 2019.  

Consulting Agreement

General

In connection with his retirement on December 31, 2019, Mr. Billings and the Company entered into a Retirement and Consulting Agreement on June 6, 2019 (the “Consulting Agreement”). Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, Mr. Billings will continue to serve as the Company’s Executive Chairman and a director until December 31, 2019 (assuming he is re-elected at the Company Annual Meeting of stockholders on June 10, 2019).  Until December 31, 2019, he will continue to receive his current base salary and will remain eligible to earn an annual incentive bonus for 2019. The Consulting Agreement provides that (i) on December 31, 2019 Mr. Billings will retire from all positions with the Company, including from the Board, and (ii) on January 1, 2020, he will begin a two-year consulting term with the Company.

Equity Awards

The Consulting Agreement provides that on July 1, 2019, Mr. Billings will be granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) equal to a number of shares of the Company’s common stock having a value on July 1, 2019 of $600,000.  The RSUs will vest equally on each of January 1, 2020, July 1, 2020, January 1, 2021, July 1, 2021 and January 1, 2022, subject to Mr. Billings’ continued employment/providing consulting services. The RSUs will vest sooner upon (i) certain terminations of Mr. Billings’ employment or service or (ii) a change in control of the Company if the buyer does not assume the award or, if assumed, Mr. Billings’ employment or service is terminated without cause or he resigns with good reason.

The Consulting Agreement also provides for the revision to Mr. Billings’ (i) one existing restricted stock award (covering 27,994 shares of common stock) so that the award will vest on December 31, 2019, subject to Mr. Billings’ continued employment, (ii) one existing performance award (covering 31,038 performance share units) so that the award will vest on December 31, 2019, subject to continued employment, and (iii) two existing performance share awards (covering 77,394 performance share units) so that the awards will remain outstanding, subject to Mr. Billings’ continued employment or service, and will vest to the extent that the related performance objectives are achieved.

Consulting Fees

From January 1, 2020 to January 1, 2022 (the “Consulting Term”), Mr. Billings will be entitled to an annual consulting fee of $500,000.  The Company will also pay Mr. Billings a “COBRA supplement” for each month during the Consulting Term.  In lieu of providing an office to Mr. Billings, the Company will also pay him $20,000 in both 2020 and 2021.  

Other

The Consulting Agreement provides that Mr. Billings’ current Change in Control Continuity Agreement with the Company will terminate effective December 31, 2019. In addition, Mr. Billings will be restricted from engaging in the mortgage REIT business and soliciting the Company’s employees through December 31, 2022. The Consulting Agreement also contains customary release of claims and non-disparagement provisions.
