As previously disclosed, Sandeep Chalke, the Senior Vice President, Chief Commercial Officer of Accuray Incorporated (the “Company”), will depart from the company effective March 31, 2026. In connection with Mr. Chalke’s departure, on March 13, 2026, the Company entered into a separation agreement and general release (the “Separation Agreement”) with Mr. Chalke. The Separation Agreement provides for (i) the vesting of Mr. Chalke’s equity grants that were due to vest on May 31, 2026 under the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan, with all equity due to vest after that date forfeited, (ii) a lump sum payment of $459,000, equal to twelve (12) months of Mr. Chalke’s annual base salary; and (iii) a pro-rated portion of the bonus Mr. Chalke would have received for the Company’s fiscal year 2026 under the Company’s bonus plan, payable at the same time as bonuses are paid to other Company executives. These benefits are provided in lieu of any other severance payments or noncompetition consideration under prior agreements, and the Separation Agreement, which includes a general release of claims, becomes effective upon expiration of a seven-business-day revocation period following execution.

 

The foregoing summary of the terms of the Separation Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Separation Agreement, a copy of which is filed as an Exhibit 10.1 hereto.
