Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On October 1, 2015, NMI Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) and John (“Jay”) Sherwood, Jr. amended Mr. Sherwood’s Employment Agreement, dated March 6, 2013, as amended (the “Employment Agreement”) to provide that Mr. Sherwood’s title and duties at the Company will change from President to Vice Chairman. Mr. Sherwood and the Company do not plan to renew the Employment Agreement upon expiry on January 17, 2016. Mr. Sherwood will assist with the transition of his duties and provide consultation to the Board of Directors during the transition period.
“I’m incredibly proud of the Company we have built since Brad Shuster and I formed National MI a little over three years ago. The Company has successfully completed its initial capital raise and public offering, and after establishing our finance function and overseeing the Company’s sales, operations and information technology groups, I am confident the Company is well on its way to becoming a market leader in the mortgage insurance industry,” Mr. Sherwood commented. “Accordingly, given our firm financial and operational footing and solid succession plan, I believe now is the appropriate time for me to begin thinking about stepping aside and seeking additional opportunities to build new, high-growth businesses in the marketplace. I have the utmost confidence in our Board of Directors and our leadership team and firmly believe that National MI is positioned for continued growth and success for years to come.”
The foregoing summary of the amendment to Employment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 10.1 attached hereto and the terms of the Employment Agreement and the subsequent amendments thereto, copies of which are incorporated herein by reference to Exhibits 10.10 and 10.11 to our Form S-1 Registration Statement (Registration No. 333-191635), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 9, 2013.
