When former HHGregg CEO and executive chairman Jerry W. Throgmartin passed away in January after a sudden illness, his old employer collected a $40 million payout from a life insurance policy it had taken out on Throgmartin years earlier.
The electronics retailer will pay $600,000 to Throgmartin’s personal estate, in accordance with the terms of an employment agreement, and plans to keep the rest for “general corporate and working capital purposes.”
