On March 8, 2019, CDW Corporation (the “Company”) entered into amended and restated Compensation Protection Agreements with each of Christine A. Leahy (as previously modified to reflect the specific terms set forth in Ms. Leahy’s Amended and Restated Compensation Protection Agreement dated January 1, 2019), Jill M. Billhorn, Mark C. Chong, Elizabeth H. Connelly, Christina M. Corley, Douglas E. Eckrote, Collin B. Kebo, Robert F. Kirby, Frederick J. Kulevich, Christina V. Rother, Jonathan J. Stevens and Matthew A. Troka (each, an “Executive Officer”), effective as of January 1, 2020. Under each Compensation Protection Agreement, the Executive Officer is entitled to severance benefits upon a qualifying termination of employment with the Company and its subsidiaries.
The sole purpose of amending and restating such Compensation Protection Agreements was to extend the expiration date of each such agreement by three years — from January 1, 2020 to January 1, 2023.
The foregoing is only a summary of the material terms of the Compensation Protection Agreements, as amended and restated, and does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Ms. Leahy’s Compensation Protection Agreement and the form of the other Executive Officers’ Compensation Protection Agreements, as amended and restated, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
