Change in Directors or Principal Officers, Financial Statements and Exhibits
(e)
On June 8, 2009, at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of UTi Worldwide Inc.
(the "Company"), the Company's shareholders approved the UTi Worldwide Inc. 2009
Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2009 LTIP") and the UTi Worldwide Inc. Executive
Incentive Plan (the "Executive Incentive Plan"). The Board of Directors
previously adopted the 2009 LTIP, and the Compensation Committee of the Board
previously adopted the Executive Incentive Plan, both subject to shareholder
approval.
The following summaries of the 2009 LTIP and the Executive Incentive Plan are
qualified in their entirety by reference to the texts of the 2009 LTIP and the
Executive Incentive Plan, which were previously filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") as Appendix A and Appendix B, respectively, to the
Company's proxy statement filed with the SEC on May 14, 2009.
Summary of the 2009 LTIP
The purpose of the 2009 LTIP is to (a) enhance the Company's ability to attract
highly qualified personnel; (b) strengthen the Company's retention capabilities;
(c) enhance the long-term performance and competitiveness of the Company; and
(d) align the interests of award recipients with the interests of the Company's
shareholders.
Under the 2009 LTIP, 6,250,000 of the Company's ordinary shares, no par value
(the "Ordinary Shares") are available for issuance, subject to adjustment as
provided for in the 2009 LTIP. Awards under the 2009 LTIP may take the form of
stock options (including "incentive stock options" to employees of the Company
and certain affiliates), stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted shares,
restricted share units, unrestricted shares, deferred share units, and
performance-based awards.
Employees, directors, consultants and non-employees to whom an offer of
employment has been or is being extended by the Company or any of its
subsidiaries are eligible to receive awards under the 2009 LTIP. Under the 2009
LTIP, however, no participant may receive stock options or SARs under the 2009
LTIP that relate to more than 1,000,000 Ordinary Shares, and the maximum
performance-based award that any one participant may earn in any one performance
period is $3,000,000 (or 1,000,000 Ordinary Shares if settled in Ordinary
Shares).
Either the Board of Directors or a committee appointed by the Board shall
administer the 2009 LTIP. The Compensation Committee of the Board or its
successor will administer the 2009 LTIP unless otherwise determined by the
Board. As administrator of the 2009 LTIP, the Compensation Committee has express
authority to determine the recipients of awards, the number of Ordinary Shares,
units or dollars to be covered by each award, and the terms and conditions of
awards, and has broad discretion to prescribe, amend and rescind rules relating
to the 2009 LTIP and its administration and to interpret, construe and otherwise
administer the 2009 LTIP and all award agreements. The Board may amend or
terminate the 2009 LTIP as it shall deem advisable subject to certain amendments
requiring shareholder approval.
The number and kind of shares subject to the 2009 LTIP and each award
outstanding or to be granted, any and all maximum limits on the number of
Ordinary Shares that may be delivered under the 2009 LTIP, any exercise price
for awards and any other relevant provisions are subject to equitable adjustment
in the event of (i) a share dividend, split or combination; (ii) a share
exchange; (iii) a recapitalization, merger in which the Company is the surviving
corporation, or a spin-off or split-off of an Affiliate; or (iv) other change in
the Company's capital stock.
A more detailed summary description of the 2009 LTIP may be found in the
Company's proxy statement filed with the SEC on May 14, 2009 under the heading
"Approval of the UTi Worldwide Inc. 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan (Proposal 3) -
Summary of the 2009 LTIP."
Summary of the Executive Incentive Plan
The Executive Incentive Plan is a component of the Company's overall strategy to
compensate its employees for delivering measurable results and is intended to
satisfy the requirements for "performance-based" compensation within the meaning
of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code ("Section 162(m)").
The Compensation Committee (or such other committee later designated by the
Board) will administer the Executive Incentive Plan and will interpret and
determine all questions pertaining to the Executive Incentive Plan and take any
action it deems necessary or advisable for the proper administration of the
Executive Incentive Plan.
Subject to the terms of the Executive Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee
has the sole discretion to determine the amounts, terms and conditions of each
award, as well as the executive officers of the Company or of any subsidiary of
the Company who are eligible to receive awards under the Executive Incentive
Plan. Awards under the Executive Incentive Plan will generally be payable in
cash after the end of the relevant performance period. With respect to any
fiscal year, however, the maximum amount payable to a participant under an award
is $3,000,000.
Subject to the terms of the Executive Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee
has complete discretion over determining (a) the performance period for
measuring performance; (b) the performance goals based on business and financial
criteria and the target levels of performance; and (c) a formula for calculating
a participant's award based on actual performance and the pre-established
performance goals. The performance periods and goals may differ from participant
to participant.
A more detailed summary description of the 2009 LTIP may be found in the
Company's proxy statement filed with the SEC on May 14, 2009 under the heading
"Approval of the UTi Worldwide Inc. Executive Incentive Plan (Proposal 4) -
Summary of the Executive Incentive Plan."
