Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On December 14, 2023, IDACORP, Inc. (“IDACORP”) and Idaho Power Company (“Idaho Power”) appointed Amy I. Shaw to serve as the Vice President of Finance, Compliance, and Risk of IDACORP and Idaho Power, effective January 1, 2024 (the “Effective Date”). Ms. Shaw, age 44, will serve as the companies’ chief accounting officer and has been the Director of Investor Relations, Compliance, and Risk of IDACORP and Idaho Power since August 2023 and was the Director of Compliance, Risk, and Security of IDACORP and Idaho Power from May 2017 to August 2023.
The boards of directors did not make any changes to the compensation arrangements for Ms. Shaw upon approval of the appointment; however, on the Effective Date, Ms. Shaw will be a participant in the Security Plan for Senior Management Employees II (“SMSP”), as described in IDACORP’s 2023 Proxy Statement, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 4, 2023 (“Proxy Statement”). The SMSP has been previously filed with the SEC (File No. 1-14465, 1-3198, Form 10-K, filed on February 23, 2017, as Exhibit 10.31; as amended, File No. 1-14465, 1-3198, Form 10-Q, filed on August 3, 2017, as Exhibit 10.1).
IDACORP will enter into a change in control agreement with Ms. Shaw in connection with her appointment as Vice President of Finance, Compliance, and Risk. The terms of Ms. Shaw’s change in control agreement are consistent with the change-in-control agreement described in the Proxy Statement and do not include any tax gross-up provisions or any “single trigger” or “modified single trigger” payment provisions. The form of change in control agreement has been previously filed with the SEC (File No. 1-14465, 1-3198, Form 8-K, filed on March 24, 2010, as Exhibit 10.1).
Ms. Shaw will also enter into an indemnification agreement with IDACORP, which will provide, among other things, that IDACORP will indemnify and hold Ms. Shaw harmless for losses and expenses resulting from claims arising out of, or related to, the fact that she is or was an officer of IDACORP or its subsidiaries. The form of indemnification agreement has been previously filed with the SEC (File No. 1-14465, 1-3198, Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, filed on November 2, 2006, as Exhibit 10(h)(xix)).
Ms. Shaw’s spouse, Eric Shaw, is an employee of Idaho Power who received a combined base salary and incentive compensation from Idaho Power in excess of $120,000 in 2023. Eric Shaw is not an officer of Idaho Power and his base salary and incentive compensation were consistent with amounts paid to Idaho Power employees in similar roles, and the compensation and human resources committee and full board of directors approved the design and metrics of the incentive programs in which he participated in 2023. In November 2023, the board of directors reviewed, ratified, and approved the potential related party transaction involving Eric Shaw. There are no family relationships between Ms. Shaw and any director or executive officer of IDACORP or Idaho Power.
