Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 1, 2014, Computer Task Group, Incorporated (“CTG”) entered into a Complete Restatement of the Stock Employee Compensation Trust (the “Restated Trust Agreement”), with South Dakota Trust Company LLC, as Trustee. Effective as of January 1, 2014, Thomas R. Beecher, Jr. (“Beecher”) resigned as trustee of the Trust and South Dakota Trust Company LLC (the “Trustee”) was appointed by the board of directors of CTG as custodial corporate trustee and excluded fiduciary of the Computer Task Group, Incorporated Stock Employee Compensation Trust (the “Trust or SECT”), which had the effect of changing the trust situs from New York to South Dakota. The administrative provisions of the Trust were also modified to allow the Trust to be directed as to investments and distributions and allow for the appointment of a trust protector. Pursuant to the Restated Trust Agreement, Buffalo CTG LLC (“Buffalo CTG”) was appointed as the initial investment advisor, initial member of the distribution committee and initial trust protector of the Trust. Beecher, Luke T. Jacobs (“Jacobs”) and Lee C. Wortham (“Wortham”) are the members of Buffalo CTG.

Effective as of January 1, 2014, CTG, the Trustee, Buffalo CTG, Beecher, Jacobs and Wortham entered into an Agreement of Representation and Indemnity (the “Representation Agreement”). Under the Representation Agreement, among other things, CTG agreed to indemnify and advance expenses to the Trustee, Buffalo CTG, Beecher, Jacobs and Wortham in connection with any action, suit or proceeding arising from their status as a trustee or other advisor of the Trust.

On May 20, 2016, CTG entered into a Supplemental Agreement of Representation and Indemnity (the “Supplemental Agreement”), by and among CTG, the Trustee, Buffalo CTG, Beecher, Jacobs and Wortham. The Supplemental Agreement amends the Representation Agreement to, among other things, approve the Trustee’s administration of the Trust and to release, discharge and indemnify the Trustee from and against any claims related to the Trustee’s administration of the Trust.

The foregoing summary description of the Restated Trust Agreement, the Representation Agreement and the Supplemental Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms of the Restated Trust Agreement, attached as Exhibit 10.1 to the Schedule 13D/A filed by the Computer Task Group, Incorporated Stock Employee Compensation Trust on May 5, 2014, the Representation Agreement, attached as Exhibit 10.2 to the Schedule 13D/A filed by the Computer Task Group, Incorporated Stock Employee Compensation Trust on May 5, 2014, and the Supplemental Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto, which are each incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 20, 2016, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to enter into the First Amendment to the Complete Restatement of the Stock Employee Compensation Trust and Termination of Trust with Buffalo CTG and South Dakota Trust Company LLC, as Trustee (the “First Amendment”) to terminate the Trust. Pursuant to the First Amendment, the Trust is terminated and its assets consisting of approximately 2.7 million shares of CTG common stock are to be distributed by the Trustee to CTG, to be placed in its corporate treasury. The SECT was formed more than 20 years ago as a unique vehicle to fund employee benefit plans. However, it has been underutilized for many years, leading the Company’s Board of Directors to determine that the same objective could be suitably accomplished through CTG’s existing incentive compensation plans. The Company also believes that the dissolution of the SECT creates a less complicated share structure for its shareholders.

The Company does not expect the dissolution to impact its operating performance. The SECT shares were excluded from calculations of CTG’s earnings per share, but included in calculations of the Company’s tangible book value, market capitalization and enterprise value. After the dissolution, the Company expects to have approximately 16.3 million shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis.

The foregoing summary description of the First Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms of the Restated Trust Agreement, attached as Exhibit 10.1 to the Schedule 13D/A filed by the Computer Task Group, Incorporated Stock Employee Compensation Trust on May 5, 2014, and the First Amendment, which is attached as Exhibit 10.2 hereto, which are each incorporated by reference herein.
