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

On May 7, 2024, Crocs, Inc. (the “Company”) announced the appointment of Susan Healy as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, effective June 3, 2024 (the “Start Date”). As previously announced, Anne Mehlman, the Company’s current Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, was appointed Executive Vice President and Crocs Brand President, effective May 3, 2024, and will continue to serve as Chief Financial Officer until the Start Date. Ms. Healy will report to Andrew Rees, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

Ms. Healy, age 58, served as Chief Financial Officer of IAA, Inc., a global marketplace for automotive buyers and sellers, from September 2021 until March 2023. From September 2016 to January 2021, Ms. Healy served as the Senior Vice President, Finance for Ulta Beauty, a beauty retailer.

In connection with Ms. Healy’s appointment as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and as set forth in her offer letter from the Company (the “Offer Letter”), Ms. Healy’s annual base salary will be $750,000 per year and she will be eligible to participate in the Company’s annual bonus plan with a target bonus of 100% of her earnings for the 2024 plan year. Ms. Healy will be eligible to participate in the Company’s long-term incentive plan, subject to the terms and conditions of the then-current plan, with a target equity award value of 200% of her base salary. Ms. Healy will also receive, pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Company’s 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”), a $2,000,000 equity grant, 33% of which will be time-based restricted stock units (the “RSUs”) and 67% of which will be performance-based restricted stock units (the “PSUs”). The RSUs and the PSUs will each vest on terms consistent with equity grants made to the Company’s other named executive officers.

Ms. Healy will also be eligible for certain relocation benefits up to $200,000 (gross), subject to a requirement to reimburse the Company, as set forth in the Offer Letter, if Ms. Healy voluntarily ends her employment, is terminated for “Cause” (as defined in the Offer Letter) or resigns for Good Reason (as defined in the Offer Letter). In addition, Ms. Healy is entitled to participate in employee benefit plans and programs generally available to the Company’s executive officers.

Pursuant to the terms of the Offer Letter, if Ms. Healy is terminated by the Company without Cause or resigns for Good Reason, subject to her execution of a general release of claims, she will be entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to her then-current base salary. Ms. Healy will also be eligible to participate in the Company’s Change in Control Plan (the “CIC Plan”) with a Severance Payment Percentage (as defined in the CIC Plan) of 200%, subject to the terms and conditions of the CIC Plan. The Offer Letter also provides for a non-competition covenant and non-solicitation of employees covenant, each of which is consistent with those set forth in the offer letters previously entered into by the Company’s other named executive officers.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Healy and any other person pursuant to which Ms. Healy was appointed as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Ms. Healy does not have any family relationship with any director or officer of the Company or any other person nominated or chosen by the Company to become a director or executive officer, and there are no transactions in which Ms. Healy has an interest requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

The foregoing description of the Offer Letter does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Offer Letter, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
