Summary
Carrier Global Corporation (CARR) filed an 8-K on June 12, 2023, to disclose executive compensation arrangements related to the planned divestiture of its Fire and Security businesses. The filing details a performance incentive and retention bonus for Jurgen Timperman, President of the Fire and Security Segment, designed to align his compensation with the successful execution of the business exit and achievement of financial targets. Specifically, Mr. Timperman has the opportunity to earn a cash bonus based on exceeding Adjusted Operating Profit and Free Cash Flow targets for the Fire and Security segment, alongside a separate bonus upon the completion of the divestiture, contingent on his continued employment. The total maximum bonus opportunity for both components over a multi-year period is capped at $2.5 million. This arrangement reflects the Compensation Committee's recognition of the complex dual mandate Mr. Timperman faces: driving performance during the divestiture process while also managing the sale itself.
