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

On September 11, 2023, Fathom Digital Manufacturing Corporation (the “Company”) announced the appointment, effective as of September 5, 2023, of Doug Beaton to serve as its Chief Operating Officer (“COO”), a newly created position at the Company.

Prior to joining the Company, from 2021 to the present, Mr. Beaton, age 54, was Chief Operating Officer of SencorpWhite, Inc., a leading provider of automated storage and retrieval systems, and from 2014 to 2020, was Vice President and General Manager of Symmetry Medical (a division of Tecomet, Inc.), a manufacturer of medical devices and equipment. Mr. Beaton previously held operations leadership roles at Watts Water Technologies, Inc., ThermoFisher Scientific Inc. and Danaher Corporation.

Mr. Beaton graduated from the United States Military Academy, West Point, with a BS in engineering and computer science. Mr. Beaton also earned an MBA from the University of New Hampshire.

As COO, Mr. Beaton will receive a base salary of $325,000 and a cash sign-on bonus of $50,000, which is subject to repayment if Mr. Beaton voluntarily terminates his employment or is terminated for cause prior to March 5, 2024. In connection with the Company’s annual bonus plan for 2023, Mr. Beaton will be eligible to receive a discretionary cash bonus of up to approximately $54,000 (reflecting a target bonus opportunity of 50% of Mr. Beaton’s annual base salary of $325,000, prorated for his months of service from September 5, 2023 through December 31, 2023). In addition, Mr. Beaton will be eligible to participate in the Company’s 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”) with an incentive target award for 2023 having a grant date value of $282,000, and an annual going forward target award opportunity with a grant date value of $600,000. Any awards to Mr. Beaton under the Omnibus Plan will be subject to the terms of the plan and any applicable time-based and/or performance-based vesting conditions. Mr. Beaton will also be eligible to participate in the Company’s Executive Severance and Change in Control Plan (the “Severance Plan”) under which Mr. Beaton will be eligible for severance if his employment is terminated by the Company without “cause” or if he resigns for “good reason” (each as defined in the Severance Plan). Mr. Beaton will also be eligible to participate in all other benefit plans generally offered to other senior executives of the Company in similar positions and with similar responsibilities (subject to any applicable waiting periods and other restrictions), including health insurance coverage and paid Company holidays.

Mr. Beaton was not appointed pursuant to any arrangement or understanding between him and any other person. There are no family relationships between Mr. Beaton and any director or executive officer of the Company and Mr. Beaton does not have any direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
