Beam Inc., a spirits company based in Deerfield, Ill., said its chief financial officer, Robert Probst, will resign from the company, effective Jul. 10, 2014. Beam’s principal accounting officer, Leo Mierzwicki, and its president, North America, William Newlands, plan to resign on May 31.  The resignation plans come as Suntory Holdings Ltd., the Japan-based food and beverage company, is slated to acquire Beam during the second quarter of this year. Mr. Probst will receive a golden parachute with an estimated value of $8.2 million if the companies merge by April 30, according to a proxy filing. He received compensation valued at $2.4 million in 2012, according to a proxy filing.
