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

(b) On and effective as of April 13, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), Cambium Networks Corporation (the “Company”) announced the departure of Stephen Cumming from his position as Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Mr. Cumming’s departure from the Company is not a result of any disagreement with the Company’s independent auditors or any member of management on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or internal controls.

 

(c) On and as of the Effective Date, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Andrew Bronstein as Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Mr. Bronstein has no family relationship with any directors or executive officers of the Company, nor are there any arrangements or understandings between Mr. Bronstein and any other persons pursuant to which he was selected as an officer of the Company.

 

Mr. Bronstein previously served as Managing Director and Operating Partner of Vector Capital, a private equity firm and controlling shareholder of the Company from October 2017 to April 2022. From October 2018 to February 2022, Mr. Bronstein served as CFO of Cheetah Digital, a SaaS software solutions company and portfolio company of Vector Capital. From March 2015 to October 2017, Mr. Bronstein was a Senior Director at Alvarez & Marsal, a global professional services firm, where he also served as CFO for three portfolio companies. From May 2008 to January 2012, Mr. Bronstein served as a portfolio company CFO and was an Operating Partner for The Gores Group, a private equity firm. From September 1992 to April 2006, Mr. Bronstein served as CFO of SunGard Software, a SaaS spin-out from SunGard Data Systems, a SaaS technology company, and served as Chief Accounting Officer for SunGard Data Systems. Mr. Bronstein began his career in public accounting at PricewaterhouseCoopers focused on manufacturing and technology companies, initial public offerings, mergers & acquisitions and SEC filings.

 

In connection with Mr. Bronstein’s appointment, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the following compensation arrangements for Mr. Bronstein as of the Effective Date: (1) an annual base salary of $400,000; and (2) an annual target cash incentive opportunity of 70% of his annual base salary, provided that for 2022, Mr. Bronstein will receive a minimum payout equal to his target cash incentive opportunity. Additionally, the Company will grant Mr. Bronstein equity awards under the Company’s 2019 Share Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) in the form of (1) options (“Options”) to acquire 200,000 ordinary shares of the Company and (2) restricted share units (“RSUs”) to acquire 40,000 ordinary shares of the Company. The Options and RSUs will, in each case, vest 25% on the one-year anniversary of the grant date, with the remaining 75% vesting on a quarterly basis over the 36 months following the initial vesting date. The Options and RSUs will each be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and will both fully vest in the event a change in control (as such term is defined in the Plan) occurs and within one year following such change in control, Mr. Bronstein is terminated by the Company without cause (as defined in the award agreement) or Mr. Bronstein resigns for good reason (as defined in Mr. Bronstein’s offer letter). In the event Mr. Bronstein’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause prior to a change in control (as defined in the Plan), Mr. Bronstein will receive six months of base salary during the six-month period following the termination.

 

Mr. Bronstein will be eligible to participate in the Company’s standard employee benefit programs available to similarly situated officers, including medical, dental, life, 401(k), accidental life and dismemberment, and disability benefits.

(e) The terms of Mr. Cumming's separation agreement are still being determined.
