On January 14, 2026, Wolfspeed, Inc. entered into a new employment agreement with its Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President, Gregor van Issum, effective January 1, 2026, replacing prior arrangements dated July 6, 2025 and December 12, 2025. The updated contract largely maintains previously disclosed terms but adds company-funded access to the Duke Executive Health program, and reiterates that van Issum must repay a $450,000 sign-on bonus if he resigns for any reason or is terminated for cause within one year of September 1, 2025, with “Cause” tightly defined around performance failures, legal violations, dishonesty, damaging felony convictions, or material breaches of confidentiality and noncompete obligations. The agreement confirms van Issum’s at-will employment status while detailing standard post-termination entitlements, including unpaid salary, expenses, unused vacation, remaining health-program payments, and applicable benefit-plan amounts, alongside his eligibility under Wolfspeed’s senior leadership severance plan, underscoring the company’s effort to formalize executive employment terms and retention mechanisms for a key financial leader.
