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

 

(e)       On May 21, 2021, AXIS Re SE, Dublin (Zurich Branch) (the “Company”), a subsidiary of AXIS Capital Holdings Limited, and Steve K. Arora, Chief Executive Officer – AXIS Reinsurance, entered into a new employment agreement (the “Swiss Employment Agreement”) and a related side letter (the “Swiss Side Letter” and together with the Swiss Employment Agreement, the “Swiss Employment Documents”) in order to convert the terms of Mr. Arora’s employment agreement from a U.S. expatriate arrangement to a localized contract under Swiss law.

 

The Swiss Employment Documents are effective June 1, 2021 and contain terms substantially similar to those of each of the employment agreement and letter agreement by and between Steve K. Arora and AXIS Specialty U.S. Services, Inc., each dated July 5, 2017, as amended. In particular, the Swiss Employment Agreement:

 

·provides that Mr. Arora’s annual base salary be paid in Swiss francs and shall be no less than CHF 860,000;
·requires either party to provide six months’ notice prior to termination for any reason, except for a termination by the Company for cause; and
·revises the non-compete period to six months and aligns the severance payment for the Company’s termination of Mr. Arora without cause (or by Mr. Arora for good reason), including following a change in control, with the revised non-compete period.

 

The descriptions of the Swiss Employment Documents contained herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Swiss Employment Agreement and the Swiss Side Letter which are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein.
