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

As part of its previously announced business transformation and cost reduction process, Teradata Corporation (the “Company” or “Teradata”) is exiting its Marketing Applications business so that Teradata can focus exclusively on its core Data and Analytics business. Accordingly, in light of its new single business model, on December 1, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) decided to dissolve the co-president management structure. As a result, the Board eliminated the Co-President position held by Hermann Wimmer and he is no longer an executive officer as of that date. In addition, as of December 1, 2015, Robert Fair has been named the Company’s Chief Operating Officer and Michael Koehler has been named President in addition to his current position as Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

The Company and Mr. Wimmer are negotiating the terms of certain arrangements that will apply to his separation from Teradata and its German subsidiary with whom he has an employment agreement, and the Company will promptly file an amendment to this Form 8-K to include a description of the terms and conditions of any material separation arrangements after that information is determined or becomes available.
