Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On June 14, 2010, the Company entered into a second amendment to its amended and restated severance and change in control agreement with its President and Chief Operating Officer, Timothy J. Romenesko.  The second amendment provides that if Mr. Romenesko’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without cause prior to May 17, 2012 (the date on which Mr. Romenesko becomes 55 years of age), such termination shall be deemed a “Retirement” under the Company’s Stock Benefit Plan and Mr. Romenesko shall be deemed fully vested in his Additional Supplemental Company Account under the AAR CORP. Supplemental Key Employee Retirement Plan.  The purpose of the amendment is to protect Mr. Romenesko from the loss of certain benefits earned during his 29-year career with the Company if he is terminated without cause by the Company prior to his becoming retirement-eligible at age 55 on May 17, 2012.

 

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the second amendment, a copy of which is filed with this Current Report as Exhibit 10 and incorporated herein by reference.
