On December 17, 2015, Cardtronics, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that Edward H. West would succeed Chris Brewster as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer on the date immediately following the date on which the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015 (“2015 10-K”) is filed with and accepted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and that Mr. Brewster will continue for a period of time as an executive advisor to the Company to, among other responsibilities, assist in the transition to Mr. West.

 

The Company filed its 2015 10-K with the SEC on February 22, 2016. In connection with this event and Mr. Brewster’s appointment as an executive advisor, on February 22, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) with Mr. Brewster that amended and restated his previous employment agreement in its entirety to reflect his new role as an executive advisor with a salary of $500,000 per year.  Mr. Brewster is eligible to receive prorated cash and equity incentive bonuses for the time period prior to the filing and acceptance of the 2015 10-K.  However, Mr. Brewster will not participate in any of the Company’s cash or equity incentive bonus plans covering any time period after the filing and acceptance of the 2015 10-K.  The Agreement shall have a term of one year, unless terminated earlier or extended pursuant to its terms.  Mr. Brewster’s retirement from the Company shall be effective upon the termination of the Agreement.
