The same SEC filing stated that effective Jan. 1, current CEO Fabrizio Freda will serve as a special adviser to the company until his retirement on June 30. Freda is required to devote not less than 20 percent of his time to his responsibilities in this role.

During this period, Freda’s annual base salary rate of $2.1 million will remain unchanged.
