I am pleased to offer you the position of Executive Vice President Finance with Cubic Corporation, with a starting salary of $400,000.00 per year. You will report directly to Bradley H. Feldmann,  President & CEO, with a mutually acceptable starting date to be determined. Upon the retirement or resignation of the current Chief Financial Officer, anticipated to be on or around October 2, 2017, and contingent upon the approval of the Cubic Board of Directors we will propose that you be named Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer.

Sign On Bonus 

In consideration of accepting this position and completing one year of service with Cubic, you will receive a sign-on bonus of $150,000.00, minus required tax withholdings. The sign on bonus will be paid to you in advance with your first regular paycheck following the start of your employment. Should you voluntarily terminate your employment with Cubic prior to completing one year of service, you agree to reimburse Cubic the full amount of the sign on bonus.

For the remainder of FY2017, you will be eligible to participate in Cubic’s discretionary short term incentive (bonus) plan. As part of this plan, your bonus target will be 60% of your base salary (prorated for FY17). Decisions regarding whether a bonus will be paid, and the amount of such bonus, are at the sole discretion of the Company.

Beginning in FY2018, you will be eligible for Cubic’s formula-based bonus plan, with a bonus target of 60% of your base salary. You must be employed by Cubic on the date bonuses are paid in order to earn such bonus. Additional information about this bonus plan will be provided to you after hire.

The target value for your first annual award of RSUs is $500,000.00 for FY2018, one half time based vesting and one half performance based vesting. RSUs are subject to Board of Directors approval and certain vesting schedules provided in the Plan.  Future awards of RSUs under the LTI Plan are at the Company’s sole discretion. All RSUs awarded are subject to the terms and conditions of the LTI Plan, including any future Plan amendments, as well as your individual RSU Award Agreements. A pamphlet summarizing the LTI Plan provisions is included with this offer letter. You will also be provided a complete copy of the LTI Plan after hire.
