Change in Directors or Principal Officers
Changes to Board of Directors
On November 10, 2008, we received the resignation of Timothy Chen as a member of our Board of Directors. His resignation was effective November 12, 2008.
On November 12, 2008, the Board of Directors elected Susan Whitney to the Board and elected her a member of the Board's Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Ms. Whitney retired from IBM in 2007, where she most recently served as General Manager, IBM System x.
Upon her election to the Board, Ms. Whitney received an option to purchase 30,000 shares of our common stock under our 2003 Equity Incentive Plan. The option has a seven-year term, becomes exercisable in four equal annual installments and has an exercise price per share equal to the closing price of a share of our common stock on the date of grant.
Adoption of Policy on Recoupment of Incentive Compensation
On November 12, 2008, our Compensation Committee adopted a policy requiring our executive officers, if requested by the Compensation Committee, to repay or return "covered payments" in the event that we issue a material restatement of our financial statements, where the restatement is caused, in whole or in part, by the individual's intentional misconduct. "covered payments" means cash bonuses paid after the date of adoption of the policy and stock options, restricted stock units and any other equity-based awards.
The policy permits the committee to cancel specified equity awards and to recover the after-tax amount realized by a covered individual from bonus payments, specified stock sales and restricted stock unit vestings.
The Compensation Committee has the discretion to seek to recoup a different amount, if it believes it appropriate under the circumstances. The committee expects to require each of our executive officers to agree to the terms of this policy in the option agreement for the next option grant the officer receives.
