Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
At our annual meeting of stockholders held on May 20, 2014, our stockholders approved the amendment and restatement of our 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, or Equity Plan. Our board of directors approved the amendment and restatement of the Equity Plan at a meeting held on March 26, 2014, and the Equity Plan, as amended and restated, became effective following stockholder approval at the annual meeting as disclosed in Item 5.07 below.
Upon stockholder approval at the annual meeting, the Equity Plan was materially amended to comply with various requirements of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Among other provisions, the Equity Plan was amended to specify that awards under the Equity Plan may be made subject to the attainment of performance goals relating to one or more business criteria within the meaning of Section 162(m) and may provide for a targeted level or levels of achievement using one or more of the following measures: bookings; capital expenditures; cash flow; change in assets; cost of capital; customer retention; customer satisfaction; debt; debt reduction; delivery performance; design wins; earnings before interest and taxes; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization; earnings per share, diluted or basic; earnings per share from continuing operations, diluted or basic; economic value added; expense reduction levels; gross or operating margin; individual objectives; inventory turnover; market share; net asset turnover; net bookings; net earnings; net income; net or gross sales; net profit; new product introductions; operating cash flow; operating earnings; operating expenses; pre-tax profit; productivity; profit; profit margin; return on capital; return on equity; return on investment; return on net assets; return on sales; return on total assets; revenue; stock price; total earnings; total stockholder return; and working capital. The Equity Plan, as amended, specifies that performance goals may differ from participant to participant and from award to award, may be used alone or in combination, may be used to measure our performance as a whole or the performance of one of our business units, and may be measured relative to a peer group or index.
In addition, the Equity Plan, as amended, contains annual grant limits intended to satisfy certain Section 162(m) requirements. Specifically, the maximum number of shares and/or dollars which may be issued to any one individual in any fiscal year pursuant to the Equity Plan is as follows:
|
| | |
Award Type | | Annual Number of Shares or Dollar Value |
Stock Option | | 2,000,000 |
Stock Appreciation Right | | 2,000,000 |
Restricted Stock Units | | 1,000,000 |
Restricted Stock | | 1,000,000 |
Performance Shares | | 1,000,000 |
Performance Units | | Initial Value of $3,000,000 |
