Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On May 15, 2020, the Board of Directors of John Bean Technologies Corporation (the “Company”) approved, effective May 15, 2020, an amendment and restatement of the John Bean Technologies Executive Severance Pay Plan, as previously amended and restated effective January 1, 2013 (the “Amended and Restated Severance Plan”), which is available as a benefit to executive officers and other specified employees of the Company. The Amended and Restated Severance Plan includes amendments to the prior plan as follows: (1) clarification that the Amended and Restated Severance Plan does not apply to an executive that has severance benefits provided through an employment agreement with the Company; (2) confirmation that any temporary salary reductions will be disregarded under the terms of the Amended and Restated Severance Plan; and (3) revision of the list of disqualifying events that would cause a participant to be ineligible to receive benefits under the Amended and Restated Severance Plan.
The above description is a summary of the terms of the Amended and Restated Severance Plan and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Amended and Restated Severance Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
