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

On November 29, 2023, Genpact Limited (the “Company”) and Kathryn Stein, its Senior Vice President, Chief Strategy Officer and Global Business Leader, Enterprise Services and Analytics, agreed that Ms. Stein would separate from the Company, effective January 12, 2024 (the “Separation Date”). The Company expressed its appreciation for Ms. Stein’s contributions and service to the Company.

In connection with Ms. Stein’s departure, Ms. Stein and the Company entered into a separation agreement and general release (the “Separation Agreement”), dated November 29, 2023, confirming the terms of Ms. Stein’s separation from the Company. Pursuant to the Separation Agreement and subject to Ms. Stein’s non-revocation of a general release of claims in favor of the Company and its affiliates, Ms. Stein is entitled to receive the following payments and benefits on or after the Separation Date: (i) a lump sum payment of $650,000, less applicable deductions, equaling Ms. Stein’s unpaid annual bonus for calendar year 2023, (ii) a lump sum payment in an amount equal to any benefits accrued and due to Ms. Stein under any applicable benefit plans and programs of the Company, less applicable deductions, (iii) severance payments equal to six months of Ms. Stein’s base salary, plus seven additional weeks of her base salary based on her years of service with the Company, or $413,000, less applicable deductions, to be paid in equal installments over the 12-month period following the Separation Date, (iv) a lump sum payment of $60,606, less applicable deductions, equaling the cost that would be payable by the Company to obtain continued heath care coverage for Ms. Stein and her spouse and eligible dependents, as applicable, under the Company’s employee group health plan for the 18-month period following the Separation Date, and (v) a lump sum payment of $21,000, less applicable deductions, equaling Ms. Stein’s pro-rated unpaid annual bonus for calendar year 2024.

In addition, with respect to certain of Ms. Stein’s outstanding and unvested options, restricted share unit awards and performance share awards, the Separation Agreement provides for accelerated vesting of such equity awards with respect to the number of shares that would have vested had Ms. Stein continued in employment or service for a period of 12 months following the Separation Date. Unvested option awards held by Ms. Stein that are subject to accelerated vesting pursuant to the Separation Agreement (as well as any previously vested portion of such options) will remain exercisable for a period of six months following the Separation Date (or, if earlier, until the expiration of the term of such option). The severance benefits set forth herein are subject to Ms. Stein’s compliance with certain non-competition and non-solicitation covenants for a period of one year after the Separation Date.

In addition to the non-competition and non-solicitation covenants described above, the Separation Agreement also provides for, among other things, a release of claims by Ms. Stein in favor of the Company and its affiliates and continuing confidentiality, non-disparagement and cooperation obligations applicable to Ms. Stein.

The foregoing description of the Separation Agreement is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Separation Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY BEFORE SIGNING
THIS SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE INCLUDES A RELEASE OF ANY AND ALL KNOWN AND UNKNOWN CLAIMS AGAINST GENPACT
IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE DOCUMENT FULLY, DO NOT SIGN IT
SEPARATION AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE

This SEPARATION AGREEMENT and GENERAL RELEASE (the “Agreement”) is made this 29th day of November 2023, by and between Kathryn Vanpelt Stein, along with anyone who has or obtains any legal rights or claims through her (collectively, “Employee”), and Genpact Limited and its related and/or affiliated companies (“Genpact” or the “Company”).
 
WHEREAS, Employee has been employed by Genpact since on or about December 1, 2016;
 
WHEREAS, on November 2, 2021, Employee signed an Employment Agreement with Genpact (“Employment Agreement”);
 
WHEREAS, Employee and Genpact have discussed Employee’s separation from Genpact; and
 
WHEREAS, Employee and Genpact wish to resolve and fully and finally settle, compromise, and forever discharge any and all claims and issues that have been raised, or which could have been raised, or which Employee has now or may ever have had against Genpact.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS STIPULATED AND AGREED AS FOLLOWS:
 
1.          Termination of Employment. Employee agrees that her employment with Genpact will end effective January 12, 2024 (the “Date of Termination”). Beginning on the date hereof (the “Transition Date”), Employee agrees that she will cooperate fully with Genpact’s efforts to transfer Employee’s duties and responsibilities to others as may be necessary to effectuate an orderly and effective transition.  Employee will remain as a full-time employee for the period from the Transition Date through the Date of Termination (the “Employment Term”).  Provided this Agreement has become effective and irrevocable and subject to its terms:
 
 
(a)
During the Employment Term, the Company will continue to pay Employee’s bi-weekly salary of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00), less applicable deductions and withholdings, to be paid on the regularly scheduled pay dates, and in a regular manner consistent with Genpact’s normal payroll practices during the Employment Term. Any monies earned during the Employment Term paid after the Date of Termination will be paid pursuant to the terms of this Paragraph 1(a) on a prorated basis for that pay period pursuant to applicable law;

 
(b)
During the Employment Term, Employee will accrue the same employee benefits that Employee was receiving prior to the commencement of the Employment Term, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the applicable controlling benefit plan documents;

 
(c)
During the Employment Term, Employee will assist on special projects as designated by Genpact, if needed, in addition to cooperating in good faith with the Company in its efforts to transfer Employee’s duties;


 
(d)
The Company may terminate Employee’s employment for Cause (as that term is defined in the Employment Agreement), as determined in the Company’s sole discretion, at any time during the Employment Term. If Employee is terminated for Cause during the Employment Term, Employee shall only be entitled to receive those payments set forth in Paragraph 5(b) of the Employment Agreement, subject to Employee signing this Agreement, and the Release of Claims attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement becoming irrevocable;

 
(e)
Should Employee’s employment end prior to January 12, 2024, the date of Employee’s actual termination shall be the Date of Termination. Subject to all conditions herein, including Employee’s execution and non-revocation of this Agreement and the Release of Claims attached hereto as Exhibit A, if Employee’s employment ceases in accordance with Paragraph 5(c) of the Employment Agreement, Employee shall be entitled to receive the benefits set forth in Paragraph 5(c);

 
(f)
Effective on the Date of Termination, Employee and/or her dependents (who are qualified beneficiaries) may be eligible to continue such coverage at her (or their) own expense for the duration of the period for which she is (or they are) eligible pursuant to the provisions of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”). All coverage provided to Employee and/or her dependents pursuant to this Paragraph shall be subject to the provisions of the applicable insurance policies and the continuation provisions of COBRA (and any changes or amendments with respect to such plans, policies or statute); and

 
(g)
For the avoidance of doubt, the terms and conditions of Section 4(c) of the Employment Agreement remain in effect after the Termination Date.

2.       Return of Company Property.Employee agrees to return all Company property in Employee’s possession or control to Genpact including, but not limited to, any computer equipment, office keys, credit and telephone cards, ID and access cards, and any and all original and duplicate copies of checklists, cheat sheets, training material, reports, company files, calendars, books, employee handbooks, records, notes, notebooks, correspondence, customer lists, manuals, computer programs, computer disks, diskettes and any other magnetic and other media materials containing confidential or proprietary information concerning Genpact no later than ten (10) days after the Date of Termination.
 
3.        Consideration.In consideration for Employee signing this Agreement, the Release of Claims attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement becoming irrevocable, Employee’s submission of all actuals and receipts for any outstanding Company expenses (if any as of the Date of Termination), Employee’s return of all Company property referred to in paragraph 2, and in full satisfaction of all of the Company’s obligations to Employee, the Company agrees that:

 
i.
On the Date of Termination, or as soon as practicable following such Date of Termination and in accordance with applicable law, it will pay Employee, in a lump sum,

 
(a)
Six Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($650,000), equaling Employee’s unpaid annual bonus for calendar year 2023, less applicable deductions.

2

 
(b)
any benefits accrued and due to Employee under any applicable benefit plans and programs of the Company, less applicable deductions.

ii.
It will also pay Employee,

a severance payment in equal installments over the twelve-month period following the Date of Termination and in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices, in an amount equal to six months of base salary plus seven additional weeks of base salary based on Employee’s years of service with the Company or Four Hundred Thirteen Thousand Dollars ($413,000), less applicable deductions.

 
(b)
within sixty days of the Date of Termination, an ex gratia amount of  Sixty Thousand Six Hundred Six Dollars ($60,606), less applicable deductions, equaling the cost that would be payable by the Company, as measured as of Employee’s Date of Termination, to obtain continued health care coverage for Employee and the Employee’s spouse and eligible dependents, as applicable, under the Company’s employee group health plan for the eighteen-month period following the Date of Termination, at the level in effect for each of them on the Date of Termination.

 
(c)
within sixty days of the Date of Termination, an ex gratia amount of Twenty One Thousand Dollars ($21,000), less applicable deductions, equaling on a prorated basis, Employee’s unpaid annual bonus for calendar year 2024.

4.            Equity Awards.
 
  (a)
Subject to Paragraph 4.d., Forty Eight Thousand Two Hundred Fifty Nine (48,259) options awarded in the grant agreement dated January 10, 2022 shall, upon the Date of Termination (the “Anniversary Date”), become vested and exercisable with respect to the number of shares (if any) that would have vested and become exercisable had Employee continued in employment or service for a period of twelve months following the Date of Termination (the “Special Vesting Option Shares”).  The option may be exercised for such Special Vesting Option Shares and any previously vested shares for a period of six months following the Anniversary Date, but in no event later than the expiration date of the option.  The option with respect to the Special Vesting Option Shares and any previously vested shares shall terminate on the date that is six months following the Anniversary Date or (if earlier) upon the expiration of the term of the option.

(c)
Subject to Paragraph 4.d., Twenty Five Thousand Three Hundred Twenty (25,320) outstanding performance share awards awarded in the grant agreement dated March 20, 2022 shall, on the Date of Termination, become vested with respect to the number of shares (if any, as determined in accordance with the agreement evidencing the award) that would have vested had Employee continued in employment or service for a period of twelve months following the Date of Termination, based on the level of attainment of the performance objectives. Any shares that vest under this Paragraph 4.c. shall be issued on the Date of Termination or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, but in no event later than the end of the calendar year in which the Date of Termination occurs. Any performance share award that was subject to vesting in whole or in part based on attainment of performance objectives and with respect to which the performance period has not been completed prior to the Date of Termination, shall terminate immediately upon the Date of Termination.
 

(d)
In the event that Employee violates the restrictive covenants set forth in Paragraph 14, Employee shall not be entitled, after the date of such violations or activity (as the case may be), to receive any payouts, benefits or continued vesting under this Paragraph 4, and any unvested equity shall be immediately forfeited, and the Company may take such other enforcement actions as set forth herein or permitted by applicable law.
 
 
(e)
For the avoidance of doubt, any other equity awards except those referenced herein that Employee has been awarded that are unvested as of the Termination Date will terminate and forfeit at the Termination Date.
 
5.         Bonus.  Except as provided in Paragraph 3.ii.c. above, Employee will be ineligible to receive any bonus payment for calendar year 2024. Employee acknowledges that notwithstanding the foregoing, she already has received any bonus payment to which she was entitled.
 
6.       Fair Benefit.Employee understands and agrees that the consideration referenced in Paragraphs 3 and 4 above, and any other benefit provided for in this Agreement, is more of a benefit than Genpact is required to provide to Employee under any policy, plan, procedure or contract with Genpact.  Employee acknowledges that she has not made any claims or allegations related to sexual harassment or sexual abuse and that none of the payments set forth in this Agreement are related to sexual harassment or sexual abuse.
 
7.   Non-Admission of Liability.This Agreement is not an admission of wrongdoing or liability of any kind by Genpact or any of its former or current principals, officers, directors, representatives, agents, employees, and consultants, and any such wrongdoing and liability is expressly denied.  This Agreement is entered into by the parties to avoid and to end all controversies between them.

4

11.       No Responsibility for Attorneys’ Fees.  Employee further understands and agrees that Genpact is not liable or responsible for Employee’s attorneys’ fees and costs, if any, in this matter.  Employee understands and agrees that any and all attorneys’ fees or costs owed to Employee’s counsel will be paid by Employee alone, and Employee waives any right to collect attorneys’ fees, disbursements or costs from Genpact pursuant to any claim under federal, state or local law, order or regulation.
 
12.         No Other Claims, No Participation in Other Claims, No Outside Employment.
 
 
(a)
Employee represents that, by signing this Agreement, she has agreed to release and waive any claims that she could have brought against the Company to the maximum extent waivable by law, except for any claims, charges or complaints filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which Employee may file before or after the Date of Termination.

 
(b)
Except for any claims, charges or complaints filed with the SEC, which Employee may file before or after the Date of Termination, Employee represents that Employee has not filed any claims or causes of action of any kind against the Releasees with any local, state or federal agency, court or tribunal, nor does Employee have any knowledge or reason to believe that anyone else has filed such a charge or complaint on Employee’s behalf.  Subject to Paragraph 15, to the maximum extent permitted by law, Employee promises never to: i) file, prosecute, join, opt-in or participate in a lawsuit (including a collective, class or representative action) or other complaint or charge asserting any claim released in this Agreement; ii) knowingly bring or participate in any action against any Releasee under any unfair competition law or private attorney general law of any jurisdiction, nor shall Employee participate as a class representative, class member or aggrieved employee in any current or future class, collective, representative or private attorney general actions against any Releasees relating to any claim released in this Agreement, including, without limitation, any potential class, collective and/or representative action, whether currently pending or filed after the effective date of this Agreement; or iii) seek any damages, remedies, or other relief for Employee personally (any right to which Employee hereby waives and promises never to accept) with respect to any claim released in this Agreement, except with respect to any claims, charges or complaints filed with the SEC before or after Employee’s Date of Termination.  If Employee should file such a charge or complaint, or if any agency shall ever assume jurisdiction against the Releasees on behalf of Employee, she will be bound by Employee’s waiver and general release herein and Employee will not accept any benefit or remedy which may be awarded as a result of such charge(s) or complaint(s) to the maximum extent permissible by law, except this does not limit Employee's right to receive an award for information provided to the SEC staff or any other securities regulatory agency or authority.

7

 
(c)
As of the date of signing this Agreement, Employee is not aware of any violations of law by any of the Releasees.  As part of this settlement, to the maximum extent permissible by law, Employee specifically waives, releases and disclaims any interest in any claim release by this Agreement purportedly asserted on Employee’s behalf in any current or future class, collective, private attorney general and/or representative actions, except the foregoing shall not apply to any claim, charge or complaint filed with the SEC, which Employee may file before or after the Date of Termination.  Employee further agrees that Employee will opt-out of or not opt-in to (as the case may require) any such current or future actions which have been or may be filed against any of the Releasees and, if Employee fails or refuses to do so, this Agreement may be used as Employee’s binding agreement to effectuate that intended outcome, except the foregoing shall not apply to any claim, charge or complaint filed with the SEC, which Employee may file before or after the Date of Termination.

 
(d)
Employee represents that as of the date of signing this Agreement, Employee has not made any claims or allegations related to sexual harassment, sexual assault or sexual abuse against Genpact, and as of the date of Employee signing this Agreement, Employee does not have any claims related to sexual harassment, sexual assault or sexual abuse against Genpact.

13.         Confidentiality.

Subject to Paragraph 16, including Employee’s right to file a claim, charge or complaint with the SEC before or after the Date of Termination, Employee understands and agrees that the existence and terms of this Agreement are strictly confidential.  Employee agrees that she will not disclose the terms and conditions of this Agreement except to Employee’s immediate family (spouse or significant other, children and parents), counselors, tax advisors and attorneys and only if such individuals agree to the confidentiality provisions herein.  Unless compelled to testify at a deposition, administrative proceeding, trial, or as required by law, government rule or regulation, Employee shall refrain from issuing any article, memorandum, release, publicity or statement, whether oral or written, concerning the terms or conditions of this Agreement to the public.  Subject to the exceptions in Paragraph 16 and elsewhere in this Agreement, if contacted or subpoenaed by a third party or attorney wherein it is apparent that Employee may be asked to disclose confidential information in violation of this provision, Employee shall, as soon as possible, but in no event later than three (3) business days after receiving such notice, provide written notification to Richard D. Sutton, Vice President and Legal Counsel, Human Resources, Genpact, 521 Fifth Avenue, 14th Floor, New York, NY 10175.

(b)
Employee agrees and acknowledges that during the course of her employment, Employee was exposed to confidential and proprietary business information about the Releasee’s businesses, including, but not limited to, information about its customers, their needs, and ongoing work being performed on behalf of the Releasees as well as potential business opportunities and Genpact’s sales strategy and analysis in addition to confidential and proprietary business information about Genpact’s clients, trade secrets, consultant contracts, customer lists, client financial information such as costs, revenues and billing, company financial projections, sources of supply, employment information and production, pricing policies, operational methods, notes, other confidential documents, manuals, security access, equipment, methods, processes, systems, techniques, inventions, machines, computer programs, and any and all other tangible items whether or not so labeled, and other business affairs of the Releasees and their clients learned by Employee at any time (“Confidential Information”).  Subject to Paragraph 16, Employee agrees to keep secret and not use, except for the purpose of the performance of her role for the Company, all Confidential Information that Employee received during the course of her employment and agrees not to disclose Confidential Information of Genpact, its subsidiaries, affiliates and related companies, and Genpact’s clients to anyone outside of Genpact.

 
(c)
All memoranda, notes, lists, records, documents whether or not labeled “Confidential” (and all copies thereof), made or compiled by Employee or made available to Employee concerning Genpact, whether at home or at work shall be Genpact’s property and shall be delivered to Genpact promptly upon the execution of this Agreement.

 
(d)
Employee’s confidentiality obligations under this Agreement are in addition to, and not in place of, any existing confidentiality agreements previously entered into between Employee and the Company, or any common law duties of confidentiality that Employee otherwise owes to the Company.

14.         Restrictive Covenants.

 
(a)
Noncompetition. In consideration of the payments by the Company to Employee pursuant to this Agreement, Employee hereby covenants and agrees that, during the Employment Term and for the twelve-month period following the Date of Termination, Employee shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, be employed by, engaged by, or otherwise assist, either as an individual on his or her own or as a partner, joint venturer, employee, agent, consultant, officer, trustee, director, owner, part-owner, shareholder, or in any other capacity, directly or indirectly, any of the entities listed on the competitor list attached as Exhibit B hereto, or any successor or affiliates of such entity. The foregoing restriction shall not include the passive ownership of securities in any entity listed on Exhibit B and exercise of rights appurtenant thereto, so long as such securities represent no more than two percent of the voting power of all securities of such enterprise.

(d)
The parties agree that the provisions of this paragraph are reasonable and necessary. Employee understands that the provisions of Paragraphs 14(a) and 14(b) may limit Employee’s ability to earn a livelihood in a business similar to the Company’s business but she nevertheless agrees and hereby acknowledges that (i) such provisions do not impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill or other business interests of the Company, (ii) such provisions contain reasonable limitations as to time and scope of activity to be restrained, (iii) such provisions are not harmful to the general public, (iv) such provisions are not unduly burdensome to Employee, and (v) the consideration provided hereunder is sufficient to compensate Employee for the restrictions contained in Paragraphs 14(a) and 14(b). In consideration of the foregoing and in light of Employee’s education, skills and abilities, Employee agrees that Employee shall not assert that, and it should not be considered that, any provisions of Paragraphs 14(a) and 14(b) otherwise are void, voidable or unenforceable or should be voided or held unenforceable. It is expressly understood and agreed that although Employee and the Company consider the restrictions contained in Paragraphs 14(a) and 14(b) to be reasonable, if a judicial determination is made by a court of competent jurisdiction that the time or territory or any other restriction contained in this Agreement is an unenforceable restriction against Employee, the provisions of this Agreement shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply as to such maximum time and territory and to such maximum extent as such court may judicially determine or indicate to be enforceable. Alternatively, if any court of competent jurisdiction finds that any restriction contained in this Agreement is unenforceable, and such restriction cannot be amended so as to make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of any of the other restrictions contained herein.

15.        Employment Reference.  Employee agrees that she will direct all reference inquiries regarding Employee’s employment at Genpact to the Genpact Human Resources Manager.  Genpact will respond to inquiries concerning Employee’s employment with Genpact by providing only Employee’s: (a) dates of employment; (b) title; and (c) a confirmation of ending salary, if Employee has already provided the inquiring third party with her ending salary.
