Change of Control Severance Plan Clause Samples
A Change of Control Severance Plan is a contractual provision that outlines the compensation and benefits employees are entitled to if their employment is terminated following a change in the ownership or control of the company. Typically, this clause specifies eligibility criteria, the types of severance payments, continuation of benefits, and the conditions under which these apply, such as mergers, acquisitions, or significant shifts in company leadership. Its core practical function is to provide financial security to employees during periods of corporate transition, thereby reducing uncertainty and helping retain key personnel during potentially disruptive organizational changes.
