Item
5.02 Departure
Of Directors Or Principal Officers; Election Of Directors; Appointment Of
Principal Officers.
On
August
25, 2006, Viseon accepted the resignation of Sean Belanger from its Board of
Directors and as the President and Chief Executive Officer of Viseon. To the
knowledge of Viseon’s executive officers, Mr. Belanger’s resignation was not due
to any disagreement with the Viseon’s operations, policies or
practices.
The
remaining directors of Viseon appointed John Harris, the Chief Technical Officer
of Viseon, to serve as the President and Chief Executive Officer, effective
immediately. At this time, Viseon has not named a replacement to the Board
of
Directors seat vacated due to the resignation of Mr. Belanger.
In
connection with Mr. Belanger’s resignation, he and Viseon entered into the
Separation Agreement, in order to provide for the termination of his employment
agreement and his compensation under that agreement, which was made effective
as
of July 31, 2006, and to set forth the parties’ agreement with respect to the
termination of his employment. The Separation Agreement includes a release
by
Mr. Belanger of claims that he may have against Viseon in connection with his
employment and under the terms of his employment agreement. The parties also
agreed in the Separation Agreement that Mr. Belanger would provide certain
advisory and consulting services to Viseon for a period of up to one year after
July 31, 2006, which is the effective date for the termination of his employment
agreement. As consideration for Mr. Belanger’s release, consulting services and
other commitments under the Separation Agreement, Viseon agreed to pay him
$300,000 in twenty-four installments during the twelve month period beginning
July 31, 2006, with the first four months of payments, in the amount of $100,000
(less any salary paid to him in August 2006), being paid in a lump sum within
two business days after the parties signed the Separation Agreement. In
addition, Viseon caused the 2,861,472 options granted to Mr. Belanger in May
2006, which have an exercise price of $0.32 per share, to be fully vested
immediately. Mr. Belanger’s options will continue to be subject to the remaining
terms of the relevant option agreements and company stock option
plans.
