Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

 

(d) On March 24, 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of SS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) elected Francesco Vanni d’Archirafi to the Board to fill a vacancy resulting from an increase in the size of the Board from seven directors to eight directors. Mr. Vanni d’Archirafi was elected as a Class III director to serve until the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until his successor has been duly elected and qualified. The Company announced the election of Mr. Vanni d’Archirafi in its March 26, 2025 press release. A copy of that press release is being filed with this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.

The Company’s Nominating and Governance Committee (the “Nom Gov Committee”) engaged a third-party consultant to conduct a thorough director search process, and also considered recommendations from Board members and management of the Company.

Mr. Vanni d’Archirafi was nominated and unanimously recommended by the Nom Gov Committee after review of his and other director candidates’ integrity, business acumen, expertise, skills, experience, and other criteria for Board member selection set forth in the Nom Gov Committee’s charter and in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines.

 

Consistent with the Company’s historical approach for newly elected directors, in connection with his election, the Board approved the grant to Mr. Vanni d’Archirafi of an initial award of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2023 Stock Incentive Plan. The RSUs granted to Mr. Vanni d’Archirafi have a grant date value of $100,000, with the actual number of RSUs to be granted determined by dividing the grant date value by the Company’s stock price on the date of grant. The RSUs will vest on the first anniversary of the grant date. In addition, as a member of the Board, Mr. Vanni d’Archirafi will participate in the Company’s non-employee director compensation program (“the Director Compensation Program”). A description of the Director Compensation Program is set forth on page 30 of the Company's proxy statement for the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 12, 2024, which description is incorporated herein by this reference.

There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Vanni d’Archirafi and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as a director. In addition, Mr. Vanni d’Archirafi has never been employed at the Company or any of its subsidiaries. There are no related person transactions (within the meaning of Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K) between Mr. Vanni d’Archirafi and the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
