Mr. Gear most recently served as Chief Financial Officer of IHS Markit Ltd. (“IHS Markit”), a position he held from February 2020 through February 2022, at which time IHS Markit completed its merger with S&P Global Inc. Prior to that, Mr. Gear served as Executive Vice President and President of Resources, Transportation, and CMS at IHS Markit since July 2016. Earlier, he served in multiple leadership roles across IHS Inc. (“IHS”). Prior to joining IHS in 2005, Mr. Gear held leadership positions at Activant Solutions Inc., smarterwork.com and Booz Allen Hamilton.

 

Jerre Stead, who has served as Executive Chair and Chief Executive Officer of the Company since 2019, is retiring from his Chief Executive Officer role effective September 1, 2022 and will continue as the non-executive Chair of the Board of Directors of the Company.

 

The Company’s press release dated July 11, 2022 announcing these management changes is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

In connection with his appointment as Chief Executive Officer-Elect and a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, on July 7, 2022, the Company entered into an offer letter with Mr. Gear (the “Offer Letter”). The Offer Letter provides that Mr. Gear will receive an initial annual base salary of $900,000, a target annual bonus opportunity equal to 150% of his base salary under the Company’s annual incentive plan (pro-rated for 2022) and a target annual equity incentive compensation opportunity with an initial 2022 grant of restricted share units and performance-based restricted share units with a grant date target value equal to $6.5 million, and will be eligible to participate in the other benefit plans generally made available to the Company’s senior executives. In addition, the Offer Letter provides that on or around July 15, 2022, Mr. Gear will receive a one-time equity sign-on bonus of restricted share units, with an aggregate grant date value of $3.5 million (with the number of Company shares underlying the restricted share units calculated using the closing price of Company shares on the New York Stock Exchange on July 11, 2022), which will vest, subject to Mr. Gear’s service to the Company, as follows: (i) 40% on July 11, 2023, (ii) 40% on July 11, 2024 and (iii) 20% on July 11, 2025.
