This Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends the Current Report on Form 8-K of Cable One, Inc. (the “Company”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 12, 2022 and dated as of April 8, 2022, as amended by the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on May 25, 2022 and dated May 19, 2022 (as amended, the “April 12th 8-K”).
 
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
 
As previously disclosed in the April 12th 8-K, on April 11, 2022, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company appointed Todd M. Koetje, the Company’s Senior Vice President, Business Development and Finance, to succeed Steven S. Cochran as the Company’s next Chief Financial Officer, effective July 1, 2022 (the “Transition Date”).
 
On July 1, 2022, the Company and Mr. Cochran entered into a Transition Agreement and General Release of Claims (the “Transition Agreement”), as approved by the Compensation and Talent Management Committee of the Board, under which Mr. Cochran has agreed to remain employed as a Senior Advisor to the Company through January 31, 2023 to assist in the orderly transition of the role of Chief Financial Officer.
 
Under the terms of the Transition Agreement, Mr. Cochran will be entitled to receive: (i) a base salary at an annualized rate of $240,000 commencing as of the Transition Date and continuing for the remainder of his employment with the Company; and (ii) a performance-based cash bonus in accordance with the terms of the Company’s 2022 Annual Executive Bonus Plan (the “2022 Bonus Plan”) with a full-year 2022 target bonus opportunity of $273,965 and a potential funding range of zero to 200% of target based on the Company’s achievement of the performance criteria specified under the 2022 Bonus Plan (the “2022 Bonus”). The 2022 Bonus will be payable at the same time as bonuses are paid to other executives of the Company under the 2022 Bonus Plan. The Transition Agreement also contains a customary release of claims by Mr. Cochran, an acknowledgement by Mr. Cochran of his obligations to comply with the non-compete, non-solicitation and other restrictive covenants set forth in the Company’s Clawback Policy, and other customary terms.
