On behalf of Randall Lipps, and Omnicell’s Board of Directors, Omnicell, Inc. (the “Company”) is pleased to offer you the role of Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer reporting directly to Randall Lipps as our Chairman, President, CEO and Founder. Your target start date for employment is tentatively planned for May 15th, which we will finalize by mutual agreement upon your acceptance of our offer.
Compensation & Annual Incentive Opportunity
Your bi-weekly salary will be $18,269.24 (less applicable taxes and other standard payroll deductions), which is an annual equivalent of $475,000.
You will also be eligible to receive a discretionary bonus under Omnicell’s MBO Bonus Plan (the MBO Plan), where your MBO Bonus Target will be 90% of your annual base salary (or $427,500 annually), where your actual payout “earned” (between 0% to 90% of your base salary paid to you during each quarter) will be determined based on your individual and company performance to be established each quarter, where if earned, will be paid out on a quarterly basis under the terms of the MBO Plan. Given that you will start in the middle of the second calendar quarter, your first opportunity to participate in the MBO Plan for 2023 will commence July 1, 2023, for MBO goals established and achieved for the third calendar quarter of 2023 under the terms of the MBO Plan.
You will also be eligible to participate in Omnicell’s Overachievement Bonus Plan (the Overachievement Plan) on a pro-rated basis for 2023, where the payout “earned” will be determined between 0% to 80% of your MBO Bonus Target outlined above (or up to $342,000 annually) based on Omnicell exceeding/overachieving certain “key” annual performance goals established by the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) each year. Please note that any payout from Omnicell bonus plans is earned and paid solely at the discretion of Omnicell under the terms of each bonus plan.
One-Time Sign-on Awards (Cash & LTI)
We are also pleased to offer you a one-time, Cash Sign-on Bonus in the gross amount of $50,000.00 (less applicable taxes and other standard payroll deductions) payable to you within 30 days following your start date with the Company. In the unlikely event that you terminate your employment with Omnicell for any reason prior to being employed by the Company for a period of one year, you will be required to repay a prorated portion of your Cash Sign-on Bonus.
