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

 

On July 2, 2016, Air Methods Corporation (the “ Company ”) entered into an amendment to its employment agreement with Michael D. Allen (the “ Allen Employment Agreement Amendment ”).  On July 8, 2016, the Company entered into amendments to its existing employment agreements with each of Peter P. Csapo, David D. Doerr, Crystal L. Gordon and Sharon J. Keck (together with the Allen Employment Agreement Amendment, the “ Employment Agreement Amendments ”).  Under each existing employment agreement, the employee’s term of employment automatically renewed for subsequent one year terms unless either the Company or the employee provided ninety days’ advance written notice to the other party that such party did not wish to renew the existing agreement, and upon termination following expiration of the term the employee was entitled to limited or no severance benefits.  As amended by the Employment Agreement Amendments, the employment agreements provide that upon expiration of the applicable initial term, each employee’s employment automatically renews for subsequent one year terms until such employee’s employment with the Company is terminated in accordance with the employment agreement, thus entitling the employee to the severance benefits set forth in the employment agreement.

 

The foregoing does not constitute a complete summary of the terms of the Employment Agreement Amendments, and reference is made to the complete text of the Employment Agreement Amendments, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, and 10.5 and incorporated by reference herein.
