PALO ALTO, CA – Hippo Holdings Inc. (NYSE:HIPO), a company in the fire, marine, and casualty insurance industry, disclosed today that Yuval Harry, the Chief Revenue Officer, will be stepping down from his executive role. The separation agreement, effective from Monday, will see Harry transitioning to a consultative position within the company.
According to the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Harry's departure from his executive responsibilities will become effective on Friday, October 11, 2024. However, he will continue to provide consultation services to Hippo Holdings as an at-will employee until March 1, 2025, or possibly earlier based on decisions by the company or Harry himself.
Under the terms of the separation agreement, Harry will receive continued salary payments in line with the company's payroll practices and his equity awards will keep vesting according to their existing terms. Furthermore, he will be entitled to a cash payment equivalent to six weeks and three days of his current annual base salary, in addition to a month's worth of health coverage premiums under COBRA based on his present plan.
Harry's bonus for the 2024 calendar year will also be determined by the company's board of directors, contingent on the company's performance or other factors the board may consider relevant.
If Harry opts to resign before the agreed separation date, the company has agreed to enhance his separation pay proportionally to the number of days from his resignation to the separation date, plus the cost of COBRA premiums for the same period, after accounting for mandatory withholdings and deductions.
