Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On March 3, 2021, Citrix Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amendment to each of (1) that certain Employment Agreement, dated July 10, 2017, with David J. Henshall, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “Employment Agreement”), and (2) that certain Executive Agreement, dated January 19, 2017, with Antonio G. Gomes, Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer of the Company (the “Executive Agreement”), each effective as of March 1, 2021. The amendments were approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Compensation Committee”) in connection with the Compensation Committee’s annual review of the executive officers’ compensation to reflect changes in the target variable cash compensation for such executive officers since the dates of such agreements. Under the terms of the existing Employment Agreement, Mr. Henshall was entitled to a cash severance payment in certain circumstances calculated in part based on a variable cash compensation target equal to 125% of his annual base salary, which represented his target variable cash compensation at the time that the Employment Agreement was executed. Similarly, under the terms of the existing Executive Agreement, Mr. Gomes was entitled to a cash severance payment in certain circumstances calculated in part based on a variable cash compensation target equal to 75% of his annual base salary, which represented his target variable cash compensation at the time that the Executive Agreement was executed. Because Mr. Henshall’s and Mr. Gomes’ variable cash compensation targets are currently 150% and 90% of their annual base salaries, respectively, and the Compensation Committee may determine to change such targets in the future, the amendments to the Employment Agreement and the Executive Agreement provide for each executive officer’s target variable cash compensation for purposes of such agreements to equal the executive’s variable cash compensation target for the then current fiscal year.

The foregoing summary of the amendments to the Employment Agreement and the Executive Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the amendments to the Employment Agreement and the Executive Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
