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

 

On June 15, 2022, Sonoco Products Company (the “Company”) promoted Rob Dillard to the position of Chief Financial Officer, effective as of July 1, 2022.

 

Mr. Dillard, age 48, joined the Company in 2018 and has led the Company’s corporate strategy and mergers and acquisitions activities. Mr. Dillard was most recently the Company’s Chief Strategy Officer and holds a BA in Economics along with an MBA from the University of North Carolina. Mr. Dillard will continue to report to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

 

In connection with Mr. Dillard’s promotion to Chief Financial Officer, the Company’s Executive Compensation Committee (the “Executive Compensation Committee”) approved the following adjustments to his compensation, effective as of June 15, 2022: (i) Mr. Dillard’s annual base salary will be increased by 20% from $496,560 to $595,872 and (ii) Mr. Dillard’s threshold, target and maximum payouts under the Company’s Annual Cash Incentive Plan (expressed as a percentage of annual base salary) will be increased from 28%, 70% and 140% to 34%, 85% and 170%, respectively. In addition, the Executive Compensation Committee has determined that Mr. Dillard will be granted an award of restricted stock units under the Company’s 2019 Omnibus Incentive Plan with a grant date value equal to $500,000, which award will be eligible to vest in full on the fifth anniversary of the date of grant, subject to Mr. Dillard’s continuous employment through such vesting date. The increase in annual base salary and annual cash incentive compensation, as well as the award of restricted stock units, were determined using national market surveys and peer company data consistent with the Executive Compensation Committee’s existing practices. Mr. Dillard will continue to be eligible to participate in the Company’s Change-in-Control Plan.

 

There are no family relationships between Mr. Dillard and any director, executive officer or person nominated or chosen by the Company to become a director or executive officer of the Company within the meaning of Item 401(d) of Regulation S-K. There are no arrangements or understandings with any other person pursuant to which Mr. Dillard will be appointed as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer.

 

Item 7.01Financial Statements and Exhibits.

 

On June 15, 2022, the Company issued a press release announcing the appointment of Mr. Dillard to the position of Chief Financial Officer as described herein. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
