October     , 2012

Dear Stockholders:

We are pleased to invite you to attend our 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on November 27, 2012 at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time, at our headquarters at 950 De Guigne Drive, Sunnyvale, California 94085 (the “Annual Meeting”).

The matters to be considered at the meeting are described in detail in the attached proxy statement. We will also report on our activities immediately following the meeting, and you will have an opportunity to submit questions or comments on matters of interest to stockholders generally. Included with the proxy statement is a copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.

Please use this opportunity to take part in the affairs of TeleNav by voting on the business to come before this meeting. Regardless of whether you plan to attend the meeting, I urge you to vote your proxy as soon as possible. Returning the proxy card does not deprive you of your right to attend the meeting and to vote your shares in person, and may save us from incurring additional proxy solicitation costs.

PROXY STATEMENT

FOR 2012 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Table of Contents
Q: What information is contained in these proxy materials?

 

A: You are receiving a proxy card, a copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”) for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 (“fiscal 2012”) and this proxy statement (collectively, the “proxy materials”). The information in this proxy statement relates to the proposals to be voted on at the Annual Meeting, the voting process, the compensation of our directors and most highly paid executive officers, corporate governance and information on our board of directors and certain other required information.

 

Q: What shares can I vote?

 

A: Each share of our common stock issued and outstanding as of the close of business on October 8, 2012 (the “Record Date”) is entitled to be voted on all items being voted on at the Annual Meeting. You may vote all shares owned by you as of the Record Date, including (1) shares held directly in your name as the stockholder of record, and (2) shares held for you as the beneficial owner in street name through a broker, bank, trustee, or other nominee. On the Record Date there were              shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.

 

Q: How many votes am I entitled to per share?

 

A: For all matters described in this proxy statement for which your vote is being solicited, each holder of shares of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held as of the Record Date.

 

Q: What is the difference between holding shares as a stockholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

 

A: Most of our stockholders hold their shares as a beneficial owner through a broker or other nominee rather than directly in their own name. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and those owned beneficially.

Stockholder of Record

If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., you are considered, with respect to those shares, the stockholder of record, and we sent the proxy materials directly to you. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to us or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting. If you requested to receive printed proxy materials, we have enclosed or sent a proxy card for you to use. You may also vote on the internet or by telephone, as described in the proxy materials and below under the heading “How can I vote my shares without attending the Annual Meeting?”

Beneficial Owner

If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer, trust, or other similar organization you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, and the proxy materials were forwarded to you by that organization. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank, trustee, or nominee how to vote your shares, and you are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting.

Since a beneficial owner is not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the broker, bank, trustee, or nominee that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares at the meeting. If you do not wish to vote in person or you will not be attending the Annual Meeting, you may vote by proxy. You may vote by proxy over the internet or by telephone, as described in the proxy materials and below under the heading “How can I vote my shares without attending the Annual Meeting?”

Table of Contents
Q: How can I vote my shares in person at the Annual Meeting?

 

A: Shares held in your name as the stockholder of record may be voted by you in person at the Annual Meeting. Shares held beneficially in street name may be voted by you in person at the Annual Meeting only if you obtain a legal proxy from the broker, bank, trustee, or nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we recommend that you also submit your proxy or voting instructions as described below so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the meeting.

 

Q: How can I vote my shares without attending the Annual Meeting?

 

A: Whether you hold shares directly as the stockholder of record or beneficially in street name, you may direct how your shares are voted without attending the Annual Meeting. If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote by proxy. You can vote by proxy over the internet by following the instructions provided in the proxy materials, or, if you requested to receive printed proxy materials, you can also vote by mail or telephone pursuant to instructions provided on the proxy card. If you hold shares beneficially in street name, you may also vote by proxy over the internet by following the instructions provided in the proxy materials, or, if you requested to receive printed proxy materials, you can also vote by telephone or mail by following the voting instruction card provided to you by your broker, bank, trustee, or nominee.

 

Q: Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy?

 

A: You may change your vote at any time prior to the taking of the vote at the Annual Meeting. If you are the stockholder of record, you may change your vote by (1) granting a new proxy bearing a later date (which automatically revokes the earlier proxy) using any of the methods described above (and until the applicable deadline for each method), (2) providing a written notice of revocation to our Corporate Secretary at TeleNav, Inc., 950 De Guigne Drive, Sunnyvale, California 94085 prior to your shares being voted, or (3) attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the meeting will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless you specifically so request. For shares you hold beneficially in street name, you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your broker, bank, trustee, or nominee following the instructions they provided, or, if you have obtained a legal proxy from your broker, bank, trustee, or nominee giving you the right to vote your shares, by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.

 

Q: Is my vote confidential?

 

A: Proxy instructions, ballots, and voting tabulations that identify individual stockholders are handled in a manner that protects your voting privacy. Your vote will not be disclosed either among our employees or to third parties, except: (1) as necessary to meet applicable legal requirements, (2) to allow for the tabulation of votes and certification of the vote, and (3) to facilitate a successful proxy solicitation. Occasionally, stockholders provide on their proxy card written comments, which are then forwarded to our management.

 

Q: How can I attend the Annual Meeting?

 

A: You are entitled to attend the Annual Meeting only if you were a stockholder as of the Record Date or you hold a valid proxy for the Annual Meeting. Since seating is limited, admission to the meeting will be on a first-come, first-served basis. You should be prepared to present photo identification for admittance. If you are not a stockholder of record but hold shares as a beneficial owner in street name, you should provide proof of beneficial ownership as of the Record Date, such as your most recent account statement for the period including the Record Date, a copy of the voting instruction card provided by your broker, bank, trustee, or nominee, or other similar evidence of ownership.

If you do not provide photo identification or comply with the other procedures outlined above, you will not be admitted to the Annual Meeting. For security reasons, you and your bags will be subject to search prior to your admittance to the meeting.

Table of Contents

Please let us know if you plan to attend the meeting by marking the appropriate box on the enclosed proxy card, or, if you vote by telephone or internet, by indicating your plans when prompted.

The meeting will begin promptly at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time on November 27, 2012.

 

Q: How many shares must be present or represented to conduct business at the Annual Meeting?

 

A: A majority of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock must be present in person or represented by proxy in order to hold the meeting and conduct business. This is called a quorum. Your shares will be counted for purposes of determining if there is a quorum, even if you wish to abstain from voting on some or all matters introduced at the meeting, if you are present and vote in person at the meeting or have properly submitted a proxy card. Both abstentions and broker non-votes (described below) are counted for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.

 

Q: How are votes counted?

 

A: In the election of directors, you may vote “FOR” all or some of the nominees or your vote may be “WITHHELD” with respect to one or more of the nominees.

For the other item of business, you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST,” or “ABSTAIN.” If you elect to “ABSTAIN,” the abstention has the same effect as a vote “AGAINST.” If you provide specific instructions with regard to certain items, your shares will be voted as you instruct on such items. If no instructions are indicated, the shares will be voted as recommended by the board of directors.

 

Q: What is the voting requirement to approve each of the proposals?

 

A: A plurality of the votes cast is required for the election of the directors. The affirmative “FOR” vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal is required to approve (i) the material terms of our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, (ii) the material terms of our Bonus Plan and (iii) the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2013. The affirmative “FOR” vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock is required to approve the proposal to amend Article I of our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to change our name to Telenav, Inc.

If you hold shares beneficially in street name and do not provide your broker with voting instructions, your shares may constitute “broker non-votes.” Generally, broker non-votes occur on a matter when a broker is not permitted to vote on that matter without instructions from the beneficial owner and instructions are not given. In tabulating the voting result for any particular proposal, shares that constitute broker non-votes are not considered votes cast on that proposal. Thus, broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of any matter being voted on at the meeting, assuming that a quorum is obtained. Abstentions are considered votes cast and thus have the same effect as votes against the matter.

We encourage you to provide instructions to your bank or brokerage firm by voting your proxy. This action ensures your shares will be voted at the meeting in accordance with your wishes.

 

Q: Is cumulative voting permitted for the election of directors?

 

A: No. You may not cumulate your votes for the election of directors.

 

Q: What happens if additional matters are presented at the Annual Meeting?

 

A:

Other than the five items of business described in this proxy statement, we are not aware of any other business to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting. If you grant a proxy, the persons named as proxy holders, Dr. HP Jin and Michael Strambi, or any of them, will have the discretion to vote your shares on any

Table of Contents
  additional matters properly presented for a vote at the meeting. If for any reason any of the nominees is not available as a candidate for director, the persons named as proxy holders will vote your proxy for such other candidate or candidates as may be nominated by the board of directors.

 

Q: Who will serve as inspector of elections?

 

A: The inspector of elections will be our General Counsel, Loren Hillberg. Our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., will assist the inspector of elections with tabulating the votes.

 

Q: Who will bear the cost of soliciting votes for the Annual Meeting?

 

A: We will pay the entire cost of preparing, assembling, printing, mailing, and distributing these proxy materials and soliciting votes. If you choose to access the proxy materials and/or vote over the internet, you are responsible for internet access charges you may incur. If you choose to vote by telephone, you are responsible for telephone charges you may incur. In addition to the mailing of these proxy materials, the solicitation of proxies or votes may be made in person, by telephone or by electronic communication by our directors, officers, and employees, who will not receive any additional compensation for such solicitation activities.

 

Q: Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?

 

A: We will announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting and publish them on our website at http://investor.telenav.com. We will also disclose voting results on a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) within four business days after the Annual Meeting, which will also be available on our website.

 

Q: How can I contact TeleNav’s transfer agent?

 

A: You can contact our transfer agent by either writing Computershare Trust Company, N.A., P.O. Box 43078, Providence, RI 02940, or by telephoning (866) 298-8535 or (781) 575-2879.

 

Q: I share an address with another stockholder, and we received only one paper copy of the proxy materials. How may I obtain an additional copy of the proxy materials?

 

A: We have adopted a procedure called “householding,” which the SEC has approved. Under this procedure, we deliver a single copy of the proxy materials to multiple stockholders who share the same address unless we received contrary instructions from one or more of the stockholders. This procedure reduces our printing costs, mailing costs and fees. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to be able to access and receive separate proxy cards. Upon written request, we will deliver promptly a separate copy of the proxy materials to any stockholder at a shared address to which we delivered a single copy of any of these documents. To receive a separate copy of the proxy materials, you may write or email us at the following address and email address:

TeleNav, Inc.

Email: IR@telenav.com

Tel: (408) 245-3800

Fax: (408) 245-0238

Q: How do I get electronic access to the proxy materials?

Your election to receive proxy materials by email will remain in effect until you terminate it.

Director Independence

In September 2012, our board of directors undertook a review of the independence of the directors and considered whether any director has a material relationship with us that could compromise the ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his responsibilities. As a result of this review, our board of directors determined that each of Messrs. Carolan, Chen, Chiu and Zaelit are “independent directors” as defined under the rules of the NASDAQ Global Market, constituting a majority of independent directors of our board of directors as required by the rules of the NASDAQ Global Market. Upon Mr. Xie’s appointment to our board of directors in July 2012, our board of directors determined that Mr. Xie is independent.

Board Composition

Our board of directors is currently composed of six members. Our bylaws permit our board of directors to establish by resolution the authorized number of directors and six directors are currently authorized.

Each class of directors is elected for a three-year term to succeed the class whose term is then expiring. The terms of the directors expire upon the election and qualification of successor directors at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held during 2012 for the Class III directors, 2013 for the Class I directors, and 2014 for the Class II directors.

Board Leadership Structure

Our board of directors believes that our chief executive officer is best situated to serve as our chairman of the board, because he is the director most familiar with our business and industry, and most capable of effectively identifying strategic priorities and leading the discussion and execution of strategy. Independent directors and management have different perspectives and roles in strategy development. Our independent directors bring experience, oversight and expertise from outside the industry, while our chief executive officer brings company-specific experience and expertise. Our board of directors believes that the combined role of chairman of the board and chief executive officer promotes strategy development and execution, and facilitates information flow between management and our board of directors, which are essential to effective governance.

One of the key responsibilities of our board of directors is to develop strategic direction and hold management accountable for the execution of strategy once it is developed. Our board of directors believes the combined role of chairman of the board and chief executive officer, together with our independent directors, is in the best interest of stockholders because it provides the appropriate balance between strategy development and independent oversight of management.

Board Meetings and Committees

During fiscal 2012, the board of directors held four meetings and acted four times by written consent. Each of the directors attended or participated in 100% of the meetings of the board of directors and 100% of the meetings held by all committees of the board of directors on which he served during the past fiscal year, except Ken Xie, who was not a member of the board of directors during the past fiscal year. The board of directors has two standing committees: an audit committee and a compensation committee.

Audit Committee. The audit committee oversees our corporate accounting and financial reporting processes. The audit committee generally oversees:

 

   

Our accounting and financial reporting processes as well as the audit and integrity of our financial statements;

 

   

The qualifications and independence of our independent registered public accounting firm;

 

   

The performance of our independent registered public accounting firm; and

 

   

Our compliance with its systems of disclosure controls and procedures, internal controls over financial reporting and compliance of our employees, directors and consultants with ethical standards adopted by us.

The audit committee also has certain responsibilities, including without limitation, the following:

 

   

Selecting and hiring the independent registered public accounting firm;

 

   

Supervising and evaluating the independent registered public accounting firm;

 

   

Evaluating the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm;

 

   

Approving audit and non-audit services and fees;

 

   

Reviewing financial statements and discussing with management and the independent registered public accounting firm our annual audited and quarterly financial statements, the results of the independent audit and the quarterly reviews, and the reports and certifications regarding internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls; and

 

   

Reviewing reports and communications from the independent registered public accounting firm.

During fiscal 2012, the members of our audit committee were Messrs. Chen, Chiu and Zaelit. Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Zaelit is a financial expert as contemplated by the rules of the SEC implementing

Table of Contents

Section 407 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Mr. Zaelit serves as the chairman of the audit committee. Entities controlled by Mr. Chen currently hold more than 10% of our outstanding common stock. Our board of directors has considered the independence and other characteristics of each member of our audit committee. Our board of directors believes that the composition of the audit committee meets the requirements for independence under the current requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market and SEC rules and regulations. We believe that the audit committee charter and the functioning of the audit committee comply with the applicable requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market and SEC rules and regulations. Our audit committee also serves as our qualified legal compliance committee. We intend to comply with future requirements to the extent they become applicable to us.

The audit committee held four meetings during fiscal 2012 and acted one time by written consent. The audit committee has adopted a written charter approved by the board of directors, which is available on our website at http://investor.telenav.com/governance.cfm.

The Audit Committee Report is included in this proxy statement on page 61.

Compensation Committee. The compensation committee oversees our corporate compensation policies, plans and benefits programs and has the responsibilities described in “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis” below.

The members of our compensation committee are Messrs. Carolan and Chiu. Mr. Carolan has been appointed to serve as the chairman of the compensation committee. We believe that each member of the compensation committee meets the requirements for independence under the current requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market, is a nonemployee director as defined by Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act and is an outside director as defined pursuant to Section 162(m). We believe that the compensation committee charter and the functioning of the compensation committee comply with the applicable requirements of the NASDAQ Global Market and SEC rules and regulations. We intend to comply with future requirements to the extent they become applicable to us.

Copies of the charter for our compensation committee is available without charge, upon request in writing to 950 De Guigne Drive, Sunnyvale, California 94085; Attn: Corporate Secretary or on the investor relations portion of our website, http://investor.telenav.com/governance.cfm. The inclusion of our website address in this proxy statement does not include or incorporate by reference the information on our website into this proxy statement.

See “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis” and “Election of Directors—Director Compensation” below for a description of our processes and procedures for the consideration and determination of executive and director compensation.

The compensation committee held four meetings during fiscal 2012 and acted two times by written consent.

The Compensation Committee Report is included in this proxy statement on page 42.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During fiscal 2012, our compensation committee consisted of Messrs. Carolan and Chiu. None of the members of the compensation committee has at any time been one of our officers or employees. None of our executive officers serves, or in the past year has served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers who serve on our board of directors or compensation committee.

Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

Our board of directors, as a whole and through its committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. With the oversight of our full board of directors, our senior management is responsible for the day-to-day management of the material risks we face. In its oversight role, our board of directors has the responsibility to satisfy itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate and functioning as designed. Our board of directors holds strategic planning sessions with senior management to discuss strategies, key challenges, risks and opportunities for us. This involvement of the board of directors in setting our business strategy is a key part of its oversight of risk management, its assessment of management’s appetite for risk, and its determination of what constitutes an appropriate level of risk for us. Additionally, our board of directors regularly receives updates from senior management and outside advisors regarding certain risks we face, including various operating risks. Our senior management attends meetings of our board of directors and its committees on a quarterly basis, and as is otherwise needed, and are available to address any questions or concerns raised by the board on risk management and any other matters.

Each of our board committees oversees certain aspects of risk management and reports their findings to the full board of directors on a quarterly basis, and as is otherwise needed. Our audit committee is responsible for overseeing risk management of financial matters, financial reporting, the adequacy of our risk-related internal controls, internal investigations, and enterprise risks, generally. Our compensation committee oversees risks related to compensation policies and practices, and is responsible for establishing and maintaining compensation policies and programs designed to create incentives consistent with our business strategy that do not encourage excessive risk-taking.

In connection with its oversight of compensation-related risks, our compensation committee has reviewed an assessment by management of our compensation programs and practices for its employees, including its executive and non-executive programs and practices. In its review, the compensation committee evaluated whether our policies and programs encourage unnecessary or excessive risk-taking and controls, and how such policies and programs are structured with respect to risks and rewards, as well as controls designed to mitigate any risks. As a result of this review, the compensation committee determined any risks that may result from our compensation policies and practices for our employees are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

Additional review or reporting on enterprise risks is conducted as needed or as requested by the board of directors or a committee thereof.

Process for Recommending Candidates for Election to the Board of Directors

Because our board of directors only has one member who is not independent and we are a young public company, our board of directors does not feel there is a strong need for a nominating and governance committee. Instead, director candidates are selected by a majority of our independent directors, based on suggestions from our board members, management and certain stockholders. The board of directors may also retain third-party executive search firms to identify independent director candidates from time to time. It is the policy of the board of directors to consider recommendations for candidates to the board of directors from stockholders holding at least 1% of our outstanding shares of common stock continuously for at least 12 months prior to the date of the submission of the recommendation. The independent directors of our board of directors will consider persons recommended by our stockholders in the same manner as a nominee recommended by the board of directors, individual board members or management.

A stockholder that desires to recommend a candidate for election to the board of directors should send the recommendation in writing to 950 De Guigne Drive, Sunnyvale, CA 94085; Attn: Corporate Secretary. This written recommendation must include the candidate’s name, home and business contact information, detailed biographical data, relevant qualifications, information regarding any relationships between us and the candidate

 

11


Table of Contents

within the last three years and evidence of the required ownership of our common stock by the recommending stockholder. Such recommendation must also include a statement from the recommending stockholder in support of the candidate, particularly within the context of the criteria for membership on our board of directors, including issues of character, integrity, judgment, diversity of experience, independence, area of expertise, corporate experience, length of service, potential conflicts of interest, other commitments and personal references.

In accordance with the advance notice provisions in our bylaws, director nominations to be considered at any annual meeting of stockholders must be received not less than 45 days, and not more than 75 days, prior to one-year anniversary of the date on which we first mailed proxy materials, or a notice of availability of proxy materials (whichever is earlier), to stockholders in connection with the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that no annual meeting was held in the previous year or if the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than 30 days prior to or delayed by more than 60 days after the one-year anniversary of the date of the previous year’s annual meeting, then, in order for notice by the stockholder to be timely, it must be received by our Corporate Secretary not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of (i) the 90th day prior to such annual meeting, or (ii) the tenth day following the day on which Public Announcement (as defined below) of the date of such annual meeting is first made. “Public Announcement” means disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or a comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by us with the SEC pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. To be timely for a special meeting, such notice must be received by our Corporate Secretary at our offices at 950 De Guigne Drive, Sunnyvale, CA 94085 not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such special meeting or the tenth day following the day on which Public Announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the board of directors to be elected at such meeting. This means that for purposes of our 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, such nominations must have been received no sooner than July 22, 2012, and no later than August 21, 2012.

Where the board of directors has either identified a prospective nominee or determines that an additional or replacement director is required, the board of directors may take such measures that it considers appropriate in connection with its evaluation of a director candidate, including candidate interviews, inquiry of the person or persons making the recommendation or nomination, engagement of an outside search firm to gather additional information, or reliance on the knowledge of the members of the committee, the board or management. While we do not have a formal diversity policy for board membership, the board of directors seeks directors who represent a mix of backgrounds and experiences that will enhance the quality of our board of directors’ deliberations and decisions. In its evaluation of director candidates, including the members of the board of directors eligible for re-election, the board of directors considers a number of factors, including the following:

 

   

the current size and composition of the board of directors and the needs of the board of directors and the respective committees of the board of directors;

 

   

such factors as issues of character, judgment, independence, diversity, age, expertise, diversity of experience, length of service, other commitments and potential conflicts of interest; and

 

   

such other factors as the board of directors may consider appropriate.

The board of directors has also specified the following minimum qualifications to be satisfied by any nominee for a position on the board of directors:

 

   

predominantly independent;

 

   

of high integrity;

 

   

have qualifications that will increase overall effectiveness of the board of directors; and

 

   

meet other requirements as may be required by applicable rules, such as financial literacy or financial expertise with respect to audit committee members.

 

12


Table of Contents

After completing the evaluation and review, the board of directors makes a recommendation to the independent members of the board of directors as to the persons who should be nominated to the board of directors, and the independent members of the board of directors determine and approve the nominees after considering the recommendation and report of the board of directors and management.

Attendance at annual meetings of stockholders by the Board of Directors

Although we do not have a formal policy regarding attendance by members of the board of directors at our annual meeting of stockholders, we encourage, but do not require, directors to attend. Last year, one director attended our annual meeting of stockholders.

Contacting the Board of Directors

In cases where stockholders wish to communicate with the board of directors or any individual member of the board of directors, messages can be sent to our General Counsel, at TeleNav, Inc., 950 De Guigne Drive, Sunnyvale, CA 94085, Attn: General Counsel. Our General Counsel monitors these communications and will provide a summary of all received messages to the board of directors at each regularly scheduled meeting of the board of directors. Where the nature of a communication warrants, our General Counsel may determine, in his judgment, to obtain the more immediate attention of the appropriate committee of the board of directors, a non-management director, independent advisor or management, as our General Counsel considers appropriate. Our General Counsel may decide in the exercise of his judgment whether a response to any stockholder communication is necessary.

Our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the automatic grant of nonstatutory stock options to our nonemployee directors. Each individual who first joins our board of directors as a nonemployee director will receive, at the time of such initial election or appointment, an automatic option grant to purchase 10,416 shares of our common stock, provided such person has not previously been in our employ. In addition, as of 2011, each individual who continues to serve as a nonemployee member of the board of directors, whether or not such individual is standing for re-election at that particular annual meeting, will be granted an option to purchase 4,166 shares of common stock on the date of each annual stockholders meeting, provided such individual has served as a nonemployee member of our board of directors for at least six months. Directors who are also employees are eligible to receive options and be issued shares of common stock directly under our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan.

Each automatic grant under our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan will have an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value per share of our common stock on the grant date, and will have a maximum term of 10 years, subject to earlier termination should such an individual cease to serve as a member of our board of directors.

PROPOSAL TWO

APPROVAL OF THE MATERIAL TERMS OF THE 2009 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

We are asking our stockholders to approve the material terms of our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan to enable certain incentive compensation under such plan to qualify as deductible “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m). Stockholder approval of the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast affirmatively or negatively at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy. Our executive officers and directors have an interest in this proposal by virtue of their being eligible to receive equity awards under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan.

Section 162(m) Performance-Based Compensation

If our stockholders approve its material terms, our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan will continue to provide us with the potential benefit to take tax deductions associated with certain types of executive equity compensation.

Awards granted under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan may be designed to qualify as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m). Pursuant to Section 162(m), we generally may not deduct for federal income tax purposes compensation paid to our chief executive officer or to our three other highest paid executives (other than our chief financial officer) to the extent that any of these persons receive more than $1 million in compensation in any single year. However, if the compensation qualifies as performance-based for Section 162(m) purposes, we may deduct for federal income tax purposes the compensation paid even if such compensation exceeds $1 million in a single year. For performance-based vesting full-value awards (i.e., stock units or restricted stock granted with certain performance-based vesting milestones) granted under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan to qualify as fully deductible “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m), among other things, our stockholders must approve the material terms of the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan at this Annual Meeting. A favorable vote for this proposal will allow us to deduct certain executive compensation in excess of $1 million and provide us with potentially significant future tax benefits and associated cash flow. If this proposal is not approved, the company will cease making grants under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan until such time, if any, as stockholder approval is obtained.

We strongly believe that the approval of the material terms of the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan is important to our continued success. The compensation committee of our board of directors believes that equity awards motivate high levels of performance, align the interests of employees and stockholders by giving employees the perspective of an owner with an equity stake in us, and provide an effective means of recognizing employee contributions to our success. The compensation committee believes that equity awards are a competitive necessity in the environment in which we operate, and are essential to recruiting and retaining the highly qualified technical and other key personnel who help us meet our goals, as well as rewarding and encouraging current employees. The compensation committee believes that the ability to continue to grant equity awards in a tax-efficient manner is important to our future success.

Description of the Equity Plan

In October 2009, our board of directors adopted, and in December 2009 our stockholders approved, our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan. A copy of the plan is attached as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement. The 2009 Equity Incentive Plan became effective upon adoption by our board of directors and we began granting awards under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan when our initial public offering occurred in May 2010. Our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, to our employees and any parent and subsidiary corporations’ employees, and for the grant of nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units and performance shares to our employees, directors and consultants and our parent and subsidiary corporations’ employees and consultants. As of October 8, 2012,              employees (including one employee director), five nonemployee directors and consultants were eligible to participate in the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan.

Table of Contents

Authorized shares. The maximum aggregate number of shares that may be issued under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan is 2,083,333 shares of our common stock, plus (i) shares that as of the date of our initial public offering, were reserved but not issued pursuant to any awards granted under our 1999 Stock Option Plan and were not subject to any awards granted thereunder, and (ii) any shares subject to stock options or similar awards granted under the 1999 Stock Option Plan that expire or otherwise terminate without having been exercised in full and unvested shares issued pursuant to awards granted under the 1999 Stock Option Plan that are forfeited to or repurchased by us, with the maximum number of shares to be added to the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above equal to 6,089,029 shares. In addition, the number of shares available for issuance under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan will be annually increased on the first day of each of our fiscal years, beginning July 1, 2011, by an amount equal to the least of:

 

   

1,666,666 shares;

 

   

4% of the outstanding shares of our common stock as of the last day of our immediately preceding fiscal year; or

 

   

such amount as our board of directors may determine.

We expect approximately 1,666,666 shares will be added to the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan each year for the next three years and based on current business conditions, we expect that such shares will be granted to qualified individuals over the three year period.

Shares issued pursuant to awards under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan that we repurchase or that are forfeited, as well as shares used to pay the exercise price of an award or to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to an award, will become available for future grant under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan. In addition, to the extent that an award is paid out in cash rather than shares, such cash payment will not reduce the number of shares available for issuance under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan.

As of June 30, 2012, 8,288,059 shares had been reserved under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan and an additional 1,653,950 shares were added to such plan on July 1, 2012.

In fiscal 2012, we granted approximately 2,263,000 shares. In fiscal years 2011 (ended June 30, 2011, hereinafter “fiscal 2011”) and 2010 (ended June 30, 2010, hereinafter “fiscal 2010”), we granted approximately 2,651,000 and 2,119,000 shares respectively.

Plan administration. The 2009 Equity Incentive Plan will be administered by our board of directors which, at its discretion or as legally required, may delegate such administration to our compensation committee or one and/or more additional committees. In the case of awards intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m), the committee will consist of two or more “outside directors” within the meaning of Section 162(m).

Subject to the provisions of our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, the administrator has the power to determine the terms of awards, including the recipients, the exercise price, if any, the number of shares subject to each award, the vesting schedule applicable to the awards, together with any vesting acceleration, and the form of consideration, if any, payable upon exercise of the award. The administrator also has the authority, subject to the terms of the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, to amend existing awards to reduce or increase their exercise price, to allow participants the opportunity to transfer outstanding awards to a financial institution or other person or entity selected by the administrator, to institute an exchange program by which outstanding awards may be surrendered in exchange for awards that may have different exercise prices and terms, to prescribe rules and to construe and interpret the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan.

Section 162(m) Performance Goals. We have designed the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan so that it permits us to issue awards that qualify as performance-based under Section 162(m). Thus, the administrator may make performance goals applicable to a participant with respect to an award. At the administrator’s discretion, one or more of the following performance goals may apply: (i) cash flow (including operating cash flow or free cash flow), (ii) revenue (on an absolute basis or adjusted for currency effects), (iii) gross margin, (iv) operating

 

19


Table of Contents

expenses or operating expenses as a percentage of revenue, (v) earnings (which may include earnings before interest and taxes, earnings before taxes and net earnings), (vi) earnings per share, (vii) stock price, (viii) return on equity, (ix) total shareholder return, (x) growth in shareholder value relative to the moving average of the S&P 500 Index or another index, (xi) return on capital, (xii) return on assets or net assets, (xiii) return on investment, (xiv) economic value added, (xv) operating profit or net operating profit, (xvi) operating margin, (xvii) market share, (xviii) contract awards or backlog, (xix) overhead or other expense reduction, (xx) credit rating, (xxi) objective customer indicators, (xxii) new product invention or innovation, (xxiii) attainment of research and development milestones, (xxiv) improvements in productivity, (xxv) attainment of objective operating goals, and (xxvi) objective employee metrics. The performance measures listed above may apply to either to our company as a whole or, except with respect to stockholder return metrics, a region, business unit, affiliate or business segment, and measured either on an absolute basis or relative to a pre-established target, to a previous period’s results or to a designated comparison group, and, with respect to financial metrics, which may be determined in accordance with GAAP, in accordance with IASB Principles or which may be adjusted when established to exclude or include any items otherwise includable or excludable under GAAP or under IASB Principles or any other objectively determinable items including, without limitation, (a) any extraordinary non-recurring items, (b) the effect of any merger, acquisition, or other business combination or divestiture, or (c) the effect of any changes in accounting principles affecting our or a business unit’s, region’s, affiliate’s or business segment’s reported results.

Section 162(m) share and dollar limits. No participant may be granted stock options and stock appreciation rights to purchase more than 2,000,000 shares of common stock in any fiscal year, except that up to 4,000,000 shares may be granted in the participant’s first fiscal year of service. No participant shall be granted restricted stock, performance shares, or restricted stock units covering more than 1,500,000 shares of common stock in any fiscal year, except that up to 3,000,000 shares may be granted in the participant’s first fiscal year of service. No participant may be granted performance units covering more than $2,000,000 in any fiscal year, except that performance units covering up to $4,000,000 may be granted in the participant’s first fiscal year of service.

Stock options. The administrator may grant incentive and/or nonstatutory stock options under our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan. Except for options granted pursuant to Section 424(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, the exercise price of such options must equal at least the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The term of an incentive stock option may not exceed 10 years, except that with respect to any participant who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock, or of certain of our parent or subsidiary corporations, the term of such incentive stock option may not exceed five years and the exercise price must equal at least 110% of the fair market value of our common stock on the grant date. The administrator will determine the methods of payment of the exercise price of an option, which may include cash, shares or other property acceptable to the plan administrator. Subject to the provisions of our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, the administrator determines the term of all other options. After the termination of service of an employee, director or consultant, the participant may exercise his or her option, to the extent vested as of such date of termination, for the period of time stated in his or her option agreement. Generally, if termination is due to death or disability, the option will remain exercisable for 12 months. In all other cases, the option will generally remain exercisable for three months following the termination of service. However, in no event may an option be exercised later than the expiration of its term.

Stock appreciation rights. Stock appreciation rights may be granted under our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan. Stock appreciation rights allow the recipient to receive the appreciation in the fair market value of our common stock between the exercise date and the date of grant. Subject to the provisions of our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, the administrator determines the terms of stock appreciation rights, including when such rights vest and become exercisable and whether to settle such awards in cash or with shares of our common stock, or a combination thereof, except that the per share exercise price for the shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of a stock appreciation right will be no less than 100% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant.

Restricted stock. Restricted stock may be granted under our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan. Restricted stock awards are grants of shares of our common stock that are subject to various restrictions, including restrictions on

Table of Contents

transferability and forfeiture provisions. Shares of restricted stock will vest and the restrictions on such shares will lapse, in accordance with terms and conditions established by the administrator. Such terms may include, among other things, vesting upon the achievement of specific performance goals determined by the administrator and/or continued service to us. The administrator, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the time at which any restrictions will lapse or be removed. Recipients of restricted stock awards generally will have voting and dividend rights with respect to such shares upon grant without regard to vesting, unless the administrator provides otherwise. Shares of restricted stock that do not vest for any reason will be forfeited by the recipient and will revert to us.

Restricted stock units. Restricted stock units may be granted under our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan. Each restricted stock unit granted is a bookkeeping entry representing an amount equal to the fair market value of one share of our common stock. The administrator determines the terms and conditions of restricted stock units including the vesting criteria, which may include achievement of specified performance criteria or continued service to us, and the form and timing of payment. The administrator, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the time at which any restrictions will lapse or be removed. The administrator determines in its sole discretion whether an award will be settled in stock, cash or a combination of both.

Performance units/performance shares. Performance units and performance shares may be granted under our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan. Performance units and performance shares are awards that will result in a payment to a participant only if performance goals established by the administrator are achieved or the awards otherwise vest. The administrator will establish organizational or individual performance goals in its discretion, which, depending on the extent to which they are met, will determine the number and/or the value of performance units and performance shares to be paid out to participants. After the grant of a performance unit or performance share, the administrator, in its sole discretion, may reduce or waive any performance objectives or other vesting provisions for such performance units or performance shares. Performance units shall have an initial dollar value established by the administrator prior to the grant date. Performance shares shall have an initial value equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the grant date. The administrator, in its sole discretion, may pay earned performance units or performance shares in the form of cash, in shares or in some combination thereof.

Automatic director grants. Our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan also provides for the automatic grant of nonstatutory stock options to our nonemployee directors. Each nonemployee director appointed to the board of directors automatically receives an option to purchase 10,416 shares upon such appointment. This initial award vests as to 1/36th of the shares subject to the initial award on the last day of each month commencing the first full month after such initial award is granted, provided he or she continues to serve as a director through such vesting dates. In addition, nonemployee directors who have been directors for at least six months automatically receive a subsequent option to purchase 4,166 shares on each date of our annual meeting of stockholders. These subsequent awards vest as to 1/12th of the shares subject to such subsequent award on the last day of each month commencing the first full month after such subsequent award is granted, provided he or she continues to serve as a director through such vesting dates. All awards granted under the automatic grant provisions have a term of 10 years and an exercise price equal to the fair market value on the date of grant. The administrator may change the terms of future automatic awards granted to our nonemployee director including with respect to the types and number of awards granted.

Transferability of awards. Unless the administrator provides otherwise, our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan generally does not allow for the transfer of awards and only the recipient of an award may exercise such an award during his or her lifetime.

Certain adjustments. In the event of certain changes in our capitalization, to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits available under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, the administrator will make adjustments to the number and class of shares that may be delivered under the plan and/or the number, class and price of shares covered by each outstanding award and the numerical share limits contained in the plan.

Table of Contents

In the event of our proposed liquidation or dissolution, the administrator will notify participants as soon as practicable and all awards will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed transaction.

Merger or change in control. Our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan provides that in the event of a merger or change in control, as defined under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, each outstanding award will be treated as the administrator determines, except that if a successor corporation or its parent or subsidiary does not assume or substitute an equivalent award for any outstanding award, then such award will fully vest, all restrictions on such award will lapse, all performance goals or other vesting criteria applicable to such award will be deemed achieved at 100% of target levels and such award will become fully exercisable, if applicable, for a specified period prior to the transaction. The award will then terminate upon the expiration of the specified period of time. If the service of an outside director is terminated on or following a change of control, other than pursuant to a voluntary resignation, his or her options, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights, if any, will vest fully and become immediately exercisable, all restrictions on his or her restricted stock will lapse, and all performance goals or other vesting requirements for his or her performance shares and units will be deemed achieved at 100% of target levels and all other terms and conditions met.

Plan amendment, termination. Our board of directors has the authority to amend, suspend or terminate the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan provided such action does not impair the existing rights of any participant. Our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan will automatically terminate ten years from the date it was adopted by our board of directors, unless we terminate it sooner.

U.S. Federal Tax Information

Options. Options granted under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan are either incentive stock options that are intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code or nonstatutory options that do not qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code.

No taxable income is reportable when an incentive stock option is granted or exercised (except for purposes of the alternative minimum tax, in which case taxation is generally the same as for nonstatutory stock options). If the participant exercises the option and then later sells or otherwise disposes of the shares more than two years after the grant date and more than one year after the exercise date, the difference between the sale price and the exercise price will be taxed as capital gain or loss. If the participant exercises the option and then later sells or otherwise disposes of the shares before the end of the two- or one-year holding periods described above, he or she generally will have ordinary income at the time of the sale equal to the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date (or the sale price, if less) minus the exercise price of the option.

An optionee will not recognize any taxable income at the time the optionee is granted a nonstatutory option. However, upon its exercise, the optionee will recognize taxable income generally measured as the excess of the then fair market value of the shares purchased over the purchase price. Any taxable income recognized in connection with an option exercise by an optionee who is also our employee will be subject to tax withholding by us. Upon resale of such shares by the optionee, any difference between the sale price and the optionee’s purchase price, to the extent not recognized as taxable income as described above, will be treated as short-term or long-term capital gain or loss, depending on the holding period.

Stock appreciation rights. No taxable income is reportable when a stock appreciation right is granted to a participant. Upon exercise, the participant will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market value of any shares of our common stock received and/or the amount of cash received. Any additional gain or loss recognized upon any later disposition of the shares of our common stock would be a capital gain or loss.

Restricted stock, performance units and performance shares. A participant will not have taxable income upon grant (unless, with respect to restricted stock that is not in the form of restricted stock units, he or she elects to be taxed at that time). Instead, he or she will recognize ordinary income at the time of vesting/delivery equal to the fair market value (on the vesting date) of the vested shares or cash received minus any amount paid for the shares of our vested common stock.

Tax effect for TeleNav–Section 162(m). We generally will be entitled to a tax deduction in connection with an award under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan in an amount equal to the ordinary income realized by a participant at the time the participant recognizes such income (for example, the exercise of a nonqualified stock option). Special rules limit the deductibility of compensation paid to our chief executive officer or to our three other highest paid executives (other than our chief financial officer). Under Section 162(m), the annual compensation paid to any of these specified executives will be deductible only to the extent that it does not exceed $1,000,000. However, we can preserve the deductibility of certain compensation in excess of $1,000,000 if certain of the conditions of Section 162(m) are met with respect to awards. If this proposal is approved, the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan has been designed to permit the committee to grant awards that qualify as performance-based for purposes of satisfying the conditions of Section 162(m), thereby permitting us to continue to receive a federal income tax deduction in connection with such awards. Our company, however, retains the flexibility to structure awards that do not qualify as deductible performance-based compensation under Section 162(m), and provides no guarantee that any compensation intended to qualify as deductible performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) does qualify.

Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 409A”) imposes certain requirements on non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements. These include requirements with respect to an individual’s election to defer compensation and the individual’s selection of the timing and form of distribution of the deferred compensation. Section 409A also generally provides that distributions must be made on or following the occurrence of certain events (e.g., the individual’s separation from service, a predetermined date, or the individual’s death). Section 409A imposes restrictions on an individual’s ability to change his or her distribution timing or form after the compensation has been deferred. For certain individuals who are officers, Section 409A requires that such individual’s distribution commence no earlier than six months after such officer’s separation from service.

If an award is subject to and fails to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A, the recipient of that award will recognize ordinary income on the amounts deferred under the award, to the extent vested, which may be prior to when the compensation is actually or constructively received. Also, if an award that is subject to Section 409A fails to comply with Section 409A’s provisions, Section 409A imposes an additional twenty percent (20%) federal income tax on compensation recognized as ordinary income, as well as possible interest charges and penalties. Certain states have enacted laws similar to Section 409A which impose additional taxes, interest and penalties on non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements. We will also have reporting requirements with respect to such amounts, and will have certain withholding requirements.

THE FOREGOING IS ONLY A SUMMARY OF THE EFFECT OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAXATION UPON PARTICIPANTS AND TELENAV UNDER THE PLAN. IT DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE COMPLETE, AND DOES NOT DISCUSS THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF A SERVICE PROVIDER’S DEATH OR THE PROVISIONS OF THE INCOME TAX LAWS OF ANY MUNICIPALITY, STATE OR FOREIGN COUNTRY IN WHICH A SERVICE PROVIDER MAY RESIDE.

Accounting Treatment. Under current accounting rules mandating expensing for all compensatory equity awards, including stock options and RSUs, we recognize compensation expense for all awards granted under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan. This results in a direct charge to our reported earnings.

PROPOSAL THREE

APPROVAL OF THE MATERIAL TERMS OF OUR INTERNAL REVENUE CODE 162(m) BONUS PLAN

Our stockholders are being asked to approve the material terms of our Bonus Plan in order to qualify payments under the Bonus Plan as performance-based in compensation for purposes of Section 162(m).

Section 162(m) imposes an annual deduction limit of $1 million on the amount of compensation paid to each of the chief executive officer and our three other highest paid executives (other than our chief financial officer). However, the $1 million deduction limit does not apply to qualified “performance-based compensation.” To be considered qualified performance-based compensation, bonus awards under the Bonus Plan must be subject to performance goals. The “material terms” of the Bonus Plan, including the performance criteria that may be used to establish performance goals that may qualify as “performance-based compensation,” must have been approved by stockholders within the five years preceding the award.

We are submitting this proposal to stockholders for approval of the material terms of the Bonus Plan. Approval of the material terms of the Bonus Plan will allow awards under the Bonus Plan to qualify as tax-deductible “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m).

For purposes of Section 162(m), the material terms of the Bonus Plan include (i) the employees eligible to receive awards under the Bonus Plan, (ii) a description of the business criteria on which the performance goals may be based, and (iii) either the maximum amount of compensation that can be paid to a covered employee under the plan or the formula used to calculate the amount of compensation that could be paid if the applicable performance goals are satisfied. Each of these aspects of the Bonus Plan is discussed below and is followed by a description of the other material features of the Bonus Plan.

In September 2009, our board of directors unanimously approved the Bonus Plan. In September 2012, our board of directors unanimously approved the amendment and restatement of the Bonus Plan (and directed that the Bonus Plan be submitted to stockholders at the Annual Meeting). If approved by our stockholders, the Bonus Plan will be effective for our company’s fiscal year commencing in 2012. If not approved by our stockholders, no payments for the purposes of Section 162(m) will be made pursuant to the Bonus Plan. A copy of the Bonus Plan is attached as Appendix B to this Proxy Statement.

The purpose of the Bonus Plan is to motivate certain executives to achieve objectively determinable performance milestones and to reward them when those performance milestones are achieved, following certification of the extent of such achievement by the compensation committee.

Description of the Performance Bonus Plan

Eligibility. Participants in the Bonus Plan are executive officers and key employees who are chosen solely at the discretion of our compensation committee. Our chief executive officer, all of our executive vice presidents and all of our senior vice presidents are eligible to be considered for participation in the Bonus Plan. Because our executive officers are eligible to receive awards under the Bonus Plan, our executive officers have an interest in this proposal. No person is automatically entitled to participate in the Bonus Plan in any Bonus Plan year. We may also pay discretionary bonuses, or other types of compensation, outside of the Bonus Plan.

Purpose. The purpose of the Bonus Plan is to motivate the participants to achieve our business objectives and to reward them when those objectives are satisfied. If certain requirements are satisfied, bonuses issued under the Plan may qualify as deductible “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m).

Administration. The Bonus Plan will be administered by the compensation committee, consisting of no fewer than two members of the board of directors.

Table of Contents

Determination of awards. Under the Bonus Plan, participants will be eligible to receive awards based upon the attainment and certification of certain performance criteria established by the compensation committee. The performance criteria the compensation committee may choose from may include one or more of the following: (i) cash flow (including operating cash flow or free cash flow), (ii) revenue (on an absolute basis or adjusted for currency effects), (iii) gross margin, (iv) operating expenses or operating expenses as a percentage of revenue, (v) earnings (which may include earnings before interest and taxes, earnings before taxes and net earnings), (vi) earnings per share, (vii) stock price, (viii) return on equity, (ix) total shareholder return, (x) growth in shareholder value relative to the moving average of the S&P 500 Index or another index, (xi) return on capital, (xii) return on assets or net assets, (xiii) return on investment, (xiv) economic value added, (xv) operating profit or net operating profit, (xvi) operating margin, (xvii) market share, (xviii) contract awards or backlog, (xix) overhead or other expense reduction, (xx) credit rating, (xxi) objective customer indicators, (xxii) new product invention or innovation, (xxiii) attainment of research and development milestones, (xxiv) improvements in productivity, (xxv) attainment of objective operating goals, and (xxvi) objective employee metrics. The performance measures listed above may apply to either our company as a whole or, except with respect to stockholder return metrics, a region, business unit, affiliate or business segment, and measured either on an absolute basis or relative to a pre-established target, to a previous period’s results or to a designated comparison group, and, with respect to financial metrics, which may be determined in accordance with GAAP, in accordance with IASB Principles or which may be adjusted when established to exclude or include any items otherwise includable or excludable under GAAP or under IASB Principles or any other objectively determinable items including, without limitation, (a) any extraordinary non-recurring items, (b) the effect of any merger, acquisition, or other business combination or divestiture, or (c) the effect of any changes in accounting principles affecting our company or a business unit’s, region’s, affiliate’s or business segment’s reported results.

Our compensation committee shall appropriately adjust any evaluation of performance under a performance criteria to exclude (i) any extraordinary non-recurring items as described in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 and/or in management’s discussion and analysis of financial conditions and results of operations appearing in our annual report to shareholders for the applicable year, or (ii) the effect of any changes in accounting principles affecting our company’s or a business units’ reported results.

Our compensation committee retains the discretion to reduce or eliminate any award that would otherwise be payable pursuant to the Bonus Plan.

Payment of awards. All awards will be paid in cash as soon as is practicable following determination of the award, unless our company establishes a plan to permit deferral of bonus amounts, in which case awards will be paid pursuant to the timing requirements of that plan and applicable law.

Maximum award. The amounts that will be paid pursuant to the Bonus Plan are not currently determinable. The maximum bonus payment that any participant may receive under the Bonus Plan in any of our fiscal years is $3,000,000.

Amendment and termination. The compensation committee may amend, suspend or terminate the Bonus Plan, in whole or in part, at any time, including the adoption of amendments deemed necessary or desirable to correct any defect or supply omitted data or reconcile any inconsistency in the Bonus Plan or in any award granted thereunder. The compensation committee may amend or modify the Bonus Plan in any respect, or terminate the Bonus Plan, without the consent of any affected participant. However, in no event may such amendment or modification result in an increase in the amount of compensation payable pursuant to any award.

Indemnification. Our board of directors and compensation committee are generally indemnified by the company for any liability arising from claims relating to the Bonus Plan.

U.S. federal income tax consequences. Under present federal income tax law, participants will recognize ordinary income equal to the amount of the award received in the year of receipt. That income will be subject to

 

26


Table of Contents

applicable income and employment tax withholding by the company. If and to the extent that the Bonus Plan payments satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) and otherwise satisfy the requirements for deductibility under federal income tax law, we will receive a deduction for the amount constituting ordinary income to the participant.

Awards to be Granted to Certain Individuals and Groups

Awards under the Bonus Plan are determined based on actual future performance, so future actual awards cannot now be determined.

Required Vote

The vote “FOR” the approval of the material terms of our Bonus Plan requires a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on each proposal at the annual meeting. Unless marked to the contrary, proxies received will be voted “FOR” the approval of the material terms of our Bonus Plan.

Recommendation

Our board of directors recommends a vote “FOR” the approval of the material terms of our Bonus Plan.

PROPOSAL FOUR

APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE SECOND AMENDED AND

RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

On September 7, 2012, our board of directors unanimously approved and recommended that our stockholders approve an amendment to our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to the change the name of the corporation from “TeleNav, Inc.” to “Telenav, Inc.” (the “Amendment”).

On January 9, 2012, we began doing business as Telenav, Inc. This name change strengthens and better articulates our family of brands and focus on a broader range of location based services, including navigation. We believe the proposed name change will appropriately reflect our business activities, broaden appeal, expand our user base and maintain recognition of the Telenav brands.

If the proposal to amend our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to change our name to “Telenav, Inc.” is approved by our stockholders, the new name will become effective upon the filing of a certificate of amendment that includes the Amendment and other required information with the Secretary of State of Delaware. This Amendment will change Article I of the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to read in its entirety as follows:

“ARTICLE I.

The name of the Corporation is Telenav, Inc.”

If the name change becomes effective, the rights of stockholders holding shares represented by outstanding stock certificates and the number of shares represented by those certificates will remain unchanged. The name change will not affect the validity or transferability of any currently outstanding stock certificates nor will it be necessary for stockholders with certificated shares to surrender or exchange any stock certificates they currently hold as a result of the name change.

Required Vote

The vote “FOR” the approval of the amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation requires a majority of the shares outstanding. Unless marked to the contrary, proxies received will be voted “FOR” the approval of the amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

Recommendation

Our board of directors recommends a vote “FOR” the approval of the amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to change the name of the corporation to Telenav, Inc.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The following discussion and analysis of compensation arrangements of our named executive officers for fiscal 2012 should be read together with the compensation tables and related disclosures set forth below. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on our current plans, considerations, expectations, and determinations regarding future compensation programs. The actual amount and form of compensation and the compensation programs that we adopt may differ materially from currently planned programs as summarized in this discussion.

Overview. The compensation committee of our board of directors is responsible for establishing, implementing and monitoring adherence with our compensation philosophy. The committee seeks to ensure that the total compensation paid to our executive officers is fair and reasonable. Currently, we have six executive officers. Details of our fiscal 2012 compensation for our chief executive officer, chief financial officer and the three other most highly compensated executive officers, as well as our former chief financial officer, to whom we refer to as the named executive officers, can be found in the section entitled Executive Compensation—Fiscal 2012 Summary Compensation Table.” We provide types of compensation and benefits to our named executive officers similar to those we provide to our other executive officers and senior managers.

This section describes our compensation program for our executive officers. The discussion focuses on our executive compensation policies and decisions and the most important factors relevant to an analysis of these policies and decisions. We address why we believe our compensation program is appropriate for us and our stockholders and explain how executive compensation is determined.

At our annual meeting in 2011, our stockholders approved the advisory proposal on executive compensation. The stockholders also approved holding advisory votes on executive compensation once every three years. We will next seek a stockholder advisory vote on executive compensation at our annual meeting in 2014. Although none of the compensation committee’s subsequent actions or decisions with respect to the compensation of our executive officers were directly attributable to the results of the vote, the compensation committee took the vote outcome into consideration in the course of its deliberations and expects to continue to do so with respect to future advisory votes concerning executive compensation.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives. Historically, our compensation philosophy was to preserve cash and minimize expenses while rewarding the creation of long term stockholder value. Since becoming a public company, we have slowly shifted our compensation philosophy from a design more closely resembling that of a private company to one more suitable for a public company. As our organizational priorities continue to evolve, we intend to re-evaluate as circumstances dictate, at least on an annual basis, each component of our executive compensation program on a quantitative and qualitative basis to determine if the program is achieving its objectives.

Our executive compensation program seeks to attract talented, qualified executives to manage and lead our company and to motivate them to pursue and achieve our corporate objectives. We have created a compensation program that includes short term and long term components, cash and equity elements, and performance contingent payments in proportions that we believe will provide appropriate incentives to reward and retain our executives.

Our philosophy towards executive compensation reflects the following principles:

 

   

Total compensation opportunities should be competitive. We believe that our total compensation programs should be competitive so that we can attract, retain and motivate talented executive officers who will help us to perform better than our competitors.

 

32


Table of Contents
   

Total compensation should be related to our performance. We believe that a significant portion of our executive officers’ total compensation should be linked to achieving specified financial and business objectives that we believe will create stockholder value and provide incentives to our officers to work as a team.

 

   

Total compensation should be related to individual performance. We believe that executive officers’ total compensation should reward individual performance achievements and encourage individual contributions to achieve exceptional performance.

 

   

Equity awards help executive officers think like stockholders. We believe that our executive officers’ total compensation should have a significant equity component because stock based equity awards help reinforce the executive officer’s long term interest in our overall performance and thereby align the interests of the executive officer with the interests of our stockholders.

Based on these philosophies, we seek to reward our executive officers as and when we achieve our goals and objectives and to generate stockholder returns by giving significant weight to performance-based compensation. While ensuring that appropriate risk management measures are implemented by our executive officers, a significant portion of the compensation for our executive officers is at risk based on the achievement of established goals, which we believe aligns their interests with the interests of our stockholders.

Role of the Compensation Committee and Executive Officers in Setting Executive Compensation. The compensation committee of our board of directors has overall responsibility for recommending to our board of directors the compensation of our chief executive officer and determining the compensation of our other executive officers. Members of the committee are appointed by the board of directors. Currently, the committee consists of two members of the board of directors, Messrs. Carolan and Chiu. Our board of directors determined that each member of our compensation committee was and remains an outside director for purposes of Section 162(m), a nonemployee director for purposes of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act and an independent director as that term is defined under the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) rules.

The compensation committee operates under a written charter adopted by the board of directors, which establishes the duties and authority of the compensation committee. Copies of our compensation committee charter are available on our website at http://investor.telenav.com/governance.cfm.

The fundamental responsibilities of our compensation committee are:

 

   

to provide oversight of our compensation policies, plans and benefit programs including reviewing and making recommendations to our board of directors regarding compensation plans, as well as general compensation goals and guidelines for our executive officers and the board of directors;

 

   

to review and determine all compensation arrangements for our executive officers (including our chief executive officer) and to allocate total compensation among the various components of executive pay;

 

   

to review and approve all equity compensation awards to our executive officers (including our chief executive officer); and

 

   

to oversee and direct our equity compensation plans, including the 1999 Stock Option Plan, the 2002 Executive Stock Option Plan and the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, as applicable to all of our employees.

The compensation committee has the authority to engage the services of outside consultants, and it retained Compensia, Inc. (“Compensia”), an independent compensation consulting firm with substantial experience in the technology sector, as its compensation consultant in August 2011 to advise the compensation committee in matters related to executive and director compensation for fiscal and calendar 2012. Historically, we have set and paid compensation to our executive officers on a calendar rather than fiscal year basis.

In determining each executive officer’s compensation, our compensation committee reviews our corporate financial performance and financial condition and assesses the performance of the individual executive officers. The evaluation of individual performance is done by the compensation committee, in the case of the chief

 

33


Table of Contents

executive officer, and by the chief executive officer, in the case of other executives. The chief executive officer meets with the compensation committee to discuss executive compensation matters and to make recommendations to the compensation committee with respect to other executives. The compensation committee may modify individual compensation components for executives other than the chief executive officer after reviewing the chief executive officer’s recommendations. The committee is not bound to and does not always accept the chief executive officer’s recommendations. The compensation committee also reviews the chief executive officer’s performance and confers with the full board of directors (excluding the chief executive officer). The compensation committee then makes all final compensation decisions for executive officers and approves any equity incentive awards for all of our executive officers. In addition, it is the committee’s practice to consult with the independent members of the board of directors prior to making material changes to our compensation policies.

Although we make many compensation decisions in the first quarter of the calendar year, the compensation evaluation process is ongoing. Compensation discussions and decisions are designed to promote our fundamental business objectives and strategy. Evaluation of management performance and rewards are performed annually or more often as needed. The compensation committee has the discretion to (i) increase, reduce or eliminate the bonus plan participant’s bonus award and/or (ii) increase an executive officer’s base salary in connection with a promotion or increased responsibilities during the year in the event that it determines that circumstances warrant. With regard to the bonus plan, the compensation committee may in its sole discretion determine the amount of any reduction on the basis of such factors as it deems relevant. In addition, pursuant to the compensation committee charter, the compensation committee is authorized to take steps to modify any executive compensation program that yields payments and benefits that are not reasonably related to executive and corporate performance. There are no limits on the amounts of such modification. Base salaries may be decreased with the agreement of the executive officer.

Third Party Analysis of Compensation. In August 2011, our compensation committee engaged Compensia to evaluate our current levels and types of compensation for executive officers and to recommend appropriate changes. Among other activities, Compensia:

 

   

assisted us in identifying a group of peer companies for purposes of benchmarking our levels of compensation;

 

   

gathered and analyzed compensation data from those peer companies as well as from other available compensation surveys; and

 

   

assisted us in structuring awards as part of the equity incentive element of our compensation program, including assisting us in establishing appropriate amounts for equity incentive awards.

As part of the annual executive compensation assessment, Compensia reviewed companies comparable to us with respect to revenue, headcount, capitalization, state of development, and/or industry or technological focus. Compensia reviewed our existing compensation peer group and revised the list based on certain financial and industry characteristics to better align with our current size and growth. For purposes of our fiscal 2012 compensation decisions, the benchmark companies considered by our compensation committee and Compensia, as our 2011 peer companies, were as follows:

 

•   Aruba Networks

  

•   Iridium

•   Broadsoft

  

•   Limelight Networks

•   Cogent Communications

  

•   Motricity

•   Demandtec

  

•   Neutral Tandem

•   Digi International

  

•   SolarWinds

•   DigitalGlobe

  

•   SourceFire

•   EMS Technologies

  

•   Successfactors

•   GeoEye

  

•   Telecommunications Systems

•   Harmonic

Compensia’s review concluded, and our compensation committee concurred, that our historic compensation practices placed us within the market range of the comparable companies but below median in all categories other than long term equity compensation. In particular, Compensia and our compensation committee concluded that:

 

   

Our base salary levels placed us slightly below the 25th percentile of the publicly traded comparable companies but at approximately the 50th percentile of the comparable companies;

 

   

Our aggregate cash incentive compensation was also below the 25th percentile of the publicly traded comparable companies but at approximately the 50th percentile of the comparable companies; and

 

   

Our historic long term equity incentive awards placed us approximately midway between the 75th and 90th percentiles of the previous comparable companies.

In preparation for our upcoming compensation assessment we have asked Compensia to review and, as appropriate, update our peer companies for fiscal 2013. Compensia utilized our previously approved companies and made revisions to further refine our peer group to match our size, organization complexity, growth, as well as align our interests with more carrier-focus companies. Primary factors considered in revising the current peer list were company type, business focus, revenue and growth, market capitalization, and location.

For purposes of our fiscal 2013 compensation decisions, the benchmark companies to be considered by our compensation committee and Compensia, as our 2012 peer companies, will be as follows:

 

•    8x8

  

•    inContact

•    Broadsoft

  

•    Iridium

•    CalAmp

  

•    Keynote Systems

•    Cogent Communications

  

•    KVH Systems

•    Digi International

  

•    Limelight Networks

•    DigitalGlobe

  

•    MRV Communications

•    EasyLink Services

  

•    Neutral Tandem

•    GeoEye

  

•    SureWest Communications

•    Globecomm Systems

  

•    Telecommunications Systems

•    Harmonic

  

In addition to reviewing our compensation practices relative to previous comparable peer 2011 companies, our compensation committee gave substantial consideration to the incentive value, both as a performance incentive and a retention incentive, of current cash and equity incentive programs for our executive officers. Our historic cash incentive programs have consisted exclusively of bonuses approved pursuant to annual plans, such as our Short Term Incentive Bonus Plan, from time to time-based on financial performance or other metrics the board of directors or compensation committee determined relevant. For our executive officers, these bonus targets generally totaled approximately 50% of base salary, other than for Dr. Jin, whose bonus target is 70% of base salary. As a result, our compensation committee determined that both our short and long term incentive programs offered insufficient performance or retention value for our executive officers. The compensation committee intends to continue to evaluate the compensation levels and anticipates that it may approve increases in compensation. The market for executive talent in technology companies is very competitive, particularly in Silicon Valley, where we have historically looked to hire a substantial number of our executive officers and key employees.

The compensation committee concluded that the calendar 2011 base salaries plus bonus potential would enable our executive officers’ aggregate base salary and bonus in calendar 2011 to fall approximately within the 25th percentile of the 2011 peer group companies.

Employment Agreements. In September 2009, our compensation committee received a report from Compensia regarding our employment agreements versus the initial comparable companies, which are described above under the caption “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Third Party

Table of Contents

Analysis of Compensation.” In September and October 2009, the compensation committee discussed and approved our entering into employment agreements with each of our executive officers providing for benefits payable in the event the executive officer is involuntarily terminated other than for Cause or resigns for Good Reason within a two month period before or a 12 month period after a Change of Control (as such terms are described in the section entitled “Executive Compensation—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control”). From time to time, our board of directors may consider the possibility of an acquisition of us by other companies or other change of control transactions. We recognize that such consideration can be a distraction to our executive officers and could cause them to consider alternative employment opportunities. Our compensation committee believes that providing severance and change of control benefits to our executive officers is imperative to ensure their continued dedication and objectivity, notwithstanding the possibility of a change of control, to provide them with an incentive to continue employment and motivate them to maximize stockholder value in the event of a change of control, and to provide them with enhanced financial security. Under the agreements approved by our compensation committee, each of our executive officers will be entitled to receive, if his employment is terminated in the circumstances described, not more than two months prior to or more than 12 months after a Change of Control, the following benefits: (i) cash severance equal to 12 months of base salary (with the exception of Dr. Jin, who is entitled to receive 18 months of base salary, and Mr. Aronson, who was entitled to six months of base salary until his first anniversary of employment with us); (ii) bonus payment equal to his target bonus as in effect for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs, pro-rated for the year (and adjusted based on the achievement of applicable performance objectives as determined solely in the discretion of the board of directors or compensation committee); (iii) continued coverage under our benefit plans for 12 months (or 18 months with respect to Dr. Jin and six months with respect to Mr. Paczuski until his first anniversary of employment with us); and (iv) accelerated vesting of 100% of any then unvested equity incentive awards (or 50% of any unvested equity incentive awards with respect to Mr. Aronson until his first anniversary of employment with us). Our then existing employment agreements with Messrs. Hillberg, Miller and Wahla were also amended and restated to provide for the benefits set forth above.

In the absence of a Change of Control, under the employment agreements, if we terminate an executive officer’s employment other than for Cause, death or disability two months prior or 12 months after a Change of Control, then such executive officer will be entitled to receive: (i) a lump sum severance payment in an amount equal to six months of base salary (or 12 months with respect to Dr. Jin and three months with respect to Mr. Aronson until his first anniversary of employment with us); (ii) a lump sum bonus payment equal to his target bonus as in effect for the year in which the termination occurs, pro-rated for the year (and adjusted based on the achievement of applicable performance objectives as determined solely in the discretion of the board of directors or compensation committee); and (iii) continued coverage under our benefit plans for six months (or 12 months with respect to Dr. Jin and three months with respect to Mr. Aronson until his first anniversary of employment with us).

See the section entitled “Executive Compensation—Employment Agreements” or “Executive Compensation—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control” for a further description of agreements with and the tables setting forth the potential payments to be made to each named executive officer and definitions of key terms under these agreements.

Components of Executive Compensation. Our executive compensation program consists of the following components: base salary; short term incentive (“STI”) compensation, consisting of cash bonuses; and long term equity-based incentive awards. We believe that each individual component is useful in achieving one or more of the objectives of our program. Together, we believe these components have been effective in achieving our overall objectives.

 

   

Base salary is utilized to retain employees, reflect differences in job scope and compensate for significant responsibilities.

 

   

Cash bonuses are utilized to encourage executives to deliver on short term corporate financial and operating goals and individual objectives, and to ensure that a meaningful portion of compensation is based upon short term performance in accordance with our performance-based pay philosophy.

 

36


Table of Contents
   

Equity awards are utilized to balance executives’ short term thinking with a longer term perspective, reward for innovation, provide alignment with stockholder interests and attract and retain key talent.

Our executives’ total compensation may vary from year to year based on our financial results and individual performance.

Weighting of Compensation Components. We do not use predefined ratios in determining the allocation of compensation between base salary, bonus and equity components. Rather, we set each executive’s total compensation based on market conditions, geographic considerations, competitive market data and other factors. Our compensation policies related to executive compensation apply equally to all of our executive officers including our named executive officers. Differences in compensation levels among our executives generally reflect differing skill sets, experience, responsibilities and relative contributions.

The specifics of each compensation element were as follows:

Base Salary. We pay an annual base salary to each of our executives in order to provide them with a fixed rate of cash compensation during the year. Historically, we paid base salaries that we believe are below the market median for officers performing comparable jobs at comparable public companies. Based on a compensation survey that we obtained from informal reviews of compensation information gained through marketplace contacts (prior to the compensation review described under the “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Third Party Analysis of Compensation” above), we believe base salary ranges for our named executive officers during fiscal 2012 were within the middle of the range for private companies and at the low end of the range for public companies. We analyzed the annual base salaries of executive officers in the information technology industry of companies predominantly headquartered in California with up to $200 million in annual revenue.

Each year, the compensation committee (or prior to the establishment of the compensation committee, our board of directors) has considered executive compensation as part of its performance review process. We did not apply specific formulas to determine increases to the base salaries of our named executive officers, including the chief executive officer. The compensation committee did not increase the base salaries of any of our executive officers for calendar 2012 based on the recommendations of the chief executive officer and the compensation committee’s or the board of directors’, as the case may be, view of relative performance or where an executive officer’s job responsibilities changed significantly. During fiscal 2012, base salaries for the executive officers were as follows: Dr. HP Jin, president and chief executive officer, $280,000 per calendar year; Michael Strambi, chief financial officer and treasurer, $250,000 per calendar year; Douglas Miller, our former chief financial officer, $260,000 per calendar year; Salman Dhanani, vice president, growth strategy and partnerships, $220,000 per calendar year; Loren Hillberg, general counsel and secretary, $220,000 per calendar year; Dariusz Paczuski, vice president marketing, products and monetization, $225,000 per calendar year, and Hassan Wahla, vice president, business development and carrier sales, $220,000 per calendar year. Our former senior vice president of engineering, Marc Aronson, had a base salary of $325,000 per calendar year.

Bonus Plan. One of our compensation objectives is to have a significant portion of each executive officer’s compensation tied to performance. To this end, in September 2009, we established a formal bonus plan that provides for performance-based cash incentive opportunities for our employees, including each of our executive officers. Under the Bonus Plan, the compensation committee determines the performance goals applicable to any award which goals may include, without limitation, total revenue, revenue from specific product lines, subscriber metrics, cash flow; customer satisfaction, earnings; earnings per share; earnings before interest and taxes; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization; operating profit; operating efficiency; gross or operating margin and individual objectives. These objectives may change from year to year as we continue to evolve and different priorities are established, but shall be subject to the review and approval of the compensation committee. The compensation committee may select the performance goals based on GAAP or Non-GAAP results and any actual results may be adjusted by the compensation committee for one-time items or

 

37


Table of Contents

unbudgeted or unexpected items when determining whether the performance goals have been met. The goals may be on the basis of any factors the compensation committee determines relevant, and may be on an individual, divisional, business unit or company wide basis. The performance goals may differ from participant to participant and from award to award. Our compensation committee will approve the bonus award for our chief executive officer. For all other executive officers, our compensation committee will approve the bonus award with input from our chief executive officer.

Under the Bonus Plan, at the beginning of each calendar year or performance period, the compensation committee or its delegate will set the performance metrics or targets and bonus pool under the plan and will also determine the target bonus amounts which may be awarded under the plan for all of our employees including our executive officers.

Our compensation committee maintains sole discretion to provide for cash incentive awards under the Bonus Plan in excess of the target base salary percentages if we exceed the established financial performance targets. In addition, the committee has discretion to reduce or eliminate the cash incentive awards regardless of performance. We do not currently have any policy regarding the adjustment or recovery of awards or payments if the relevant performance measures are restated or otherwise adjusted in a manner that would reduce the size of an award or payment. Awards will be reduced if we do not achieve the targets under the plan. The compensation committee may, however, approve payments of bonuses outside the plan regardless of whether performance targets have been achieved.

We have set and paid compensation to our executive officers on a calendar rather than fiscal year basis, and as a result, a certain calendar year bonus plan may be in effect during the first part of the fiscal year and another calendar year bonus plan may be in effect during the remaining portion of such fiscal year. For example, during fiscal 2012, we had in effect the 2011 Short Term Incentive Bonus Plan and the 2012 Short Term Incentive Bonus Plan, (the “STI Bonus Plans”) each of which is a subplan of the Bonus Plan. The purpose of our STI Bonus Plans is to reward selected managers, director level and executive officers for the successful achievement of certain individual and corporate performance goals.

The actual bonuses paid or payable under the STI Bonus Plans, if any, vary depending on the executive officer’s individual performance and our achievement of certain corporate performance goals. For calendar 2010, the corporate performance goals, known as Key Performance Indicators (“KPIs”), related to the achievement of specified revenue targets, operating efficiency objectives and certain customer satisfaction goals. Corporate performance is measured by all three KPIs with a higher weighting given to the achievement of revenue targets. For calendar 2011, KPIs measure total revenue, future growth, operating efficiency, the achievement of new products and services resulting in new revenue, and stock performance goals. For calendar 2012, corporate performance is determined by six KPIs. These KPIs relate to the increase in number of unique users, increase in customer visit frequency, operating efficiency and execution, strategic growth areas, and revenue. The amount of each individual officer’s target bonus is set at a specified dollar amount. Actual bonuses paid are based on the computation of point values achieved on corporate and individual KPIs and may exceed the target bonuses depending on the achievement of corporate and individual KPIs. For our executive officers, other than our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, the calendar 2011 target bonuses were split between successful completion of corporate KPIs (70%) and individual KPIs (30%). However, the target bonuses for our chief executive officer and chief financial officer were based entirely (100%) on the achievement of our corporate KPIs. For calendar year 2012, the target bonuses for all of our executive officers are based entirely (100%) on the achievement of our corporate KPIs.

We utilize GAAP and non-GAAP operating measures internally to evaluate elements of our operating performance, and in some instances exclude certain revenue, costs, gains, losses and other charges that are considered by management to be outside of the core operating results that are being measured for performance. Our operating plan is an internal, non-public financial plan approved by our board of directors at the beginning of the fiscal year and is reviewed with our board of directors at each board meeting, as well as compared against

Table of Contents

actual results on a monthly basis. Our compensation committee creates KPIs based in part upon our operating plan and other operating metrics. The KPIs which are derived in part from the operating plan are generally considered by management to be aggressive but not unattainable based on management’s evaluation of, among other things, customer feedback and demand projections, historical revenue and trends, and industry and economic environment. Because the operating plan represents a proposed annual business plan, disclosure of our KPIs which are derived from our operating plan would be competitively harmful and confusing to investors. Most of the growth and revenue targets in our STI Bonus Plans are set significantly higher than the objectives in our operating plan. We do not disclose the specific revenue targets that must be achieved for payment of bonuses under the STI Bonus Plans because we believe it would result in competitive harm and therefore we believe it may be omitted pursuant to Instruction 4 to Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K.

In establishing our target bonuses for calendar 2012, the compensation committee considered management’s historic performance relative to prior operating plans as well as the committee’s view of the prospects for our business in fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2013. As a result of the review, our compensation committee believed that the targets identified are attainable while requiring substantial time and attention from management to ensure continued growth of our business. In order to increase our revenue, our chief executive officer and our business development and marketing executives need to, (i) identify and establish ways to more deeply penetrate the subscriber bases of our existing wireless carrier partners, (ii) continue the efforts necessary to sustain the growth initiatives that the Company has undertaken in automobile navigation, advertising and premium revenue and (iii) drive growth through new and existing sales channels to sell and support our services and products, particularly as we seek to expand into international markets. Our product and engineering executives need to (i) identify and establish market opportunities to expand the number of users with access to our products and increase the usage by those users, and (ii) continue to drive innovation in connection with our products to permit us to offer features and services that are highly desirable to consumers. Improving our operating efficiency will require our financial and operating executives to maintain tight controls over our operating expenses while concurrently investing in our infrastructure to improve the quality of our services and in developing and deploying new services and products to increase our revenue.

Assuming such corporate performance goals are met, the actual bonus paid to each executive officer will be as determined by the compensation committee, which evaluates and determines if the corporate performance goals were met and the computed percentage of the target bonus to be paid. Based on individual performance, each executive officer may receive up to 100% or more of his portion of the total bonus if the corporate performance goals are achieved. If corporate performance goals are not met, the portion of the total bonus such executive officer would otherwise be entitled to receive may be reduced. Upon the achievement of KPIs or at the discretion of our compensation committee, the actual payout may exceed 100% of an executive officer’s total target bonus. Our chief executive officer also has the discretion, subject to the approval of the compensation committee, to increase or decrease, up to 15%, the actual bonus paid to an executive officer. He may decrease his own bonus payout by up to 15% but is not authorized to increase the actual bonus paid to him. In addition, we have paid a nonrecoupable portion of the target bonus to executive officers, in the third quarter of each calendar year, which amount has not exceeded 30% of the target bonus. We have paid a portion of the target bonus after determining that the amount of the payments would not exceed the amount of bonus that would be expected to be paid for the year based on the KPIs achieved and forecast.

Long Term Incentives. We grant equity-based incentives to employees, including our executive officers, in order to create a corporate culture that aligns employee interests with stockholder interests. Our long term equity compensation program consists of stock options issued under our 2002 Executive Stock Option Plan and 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, as well as RSUs issued under our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan. Our compensation committee grants equity incentives to our executive officers to enable them to participate in any long term appreciation in our stockholder value. Additionally, these equity incentives provide a means of enhancing the retention of our executive officers since the options typically vest over a period of four years and the RSUs vest over a period of one to four years.

 

39


Table of Contents

Generally, we have granted options following an executive officer’s start date. The initial option grant to each executive officer was principally based on the prevailing range of our other executives with consideration given to the nature of the job and the individual’s experience, as well as the current market conditions relating to equity ownership of officers in similar positions at similarly situated companies. Our historical ownership targets were based on the number of options by position as a percentage of the total options and common shares outstanding. This percentage has been diluted over time as we received several rounds of financing to sustain our operations before reaching profitability. With the exception of certain of our founders, we believe our executive officers’ ownership as a percentage of total common shares outstanding is at or above median compared to both public and private companies of our size.

Our compensation committee does not have any specific policy regarding the timing of stock option grants and equity awards have not historically been granted regularly or automatically to our executive officers on an annual basis. Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have historically proposed an aggregate option pool to be allocated among participating officers and employees worldwide and approved, with respect to each individual option grant, by the compensation committee or the board of directors, as the case may be. In setting the size of the proposed aggregate option award pool, the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer take into consideration the impact of the size of the pool on share dilution, employee motivation, employee retention, expected hiring and accounting charges. The pool has not historically included an allocation for the chief executive officer. The proposals have included a division of the award pool based on a grant matrix established by employee class. The board of directors or compensation committee, as the case may be, has reviewed and discussed the award pool and approves the final option grants, if any, for each individual executive officer. If a proposed grant differs materially from the grant matrix, either our chief executive officer or our chief financial officer would provide the compensation committee or the board of directors, as the case may be, with an explanation or justification for such proposal. The board of directors, without Dr. Jin participating, or compensation committee, as the case may be, also determined the size of the option grant, if any, to be granted to Dr. Jin, our chief executive officer.

It has been our practice to grant additional option grants to employees, including our executive officers, when an individual has become substantially vested and the board of directors or compensation committee believe additional unvested equity incentives are appropriate as a retention incentive. In making its determination concerning additional option grants to our executive officers, the board of directors or compensation committee, as the case may be, has also considered, among other factors, individual performance and the size and terms of the individual’s outstanding equity grants. Our compensation committee has assumed this responsibility for future grants since the completion of our initial public offering.

In January 2012, we completed a focal review of equity grants for our employees and our board of directors approved option grants to a minority of our employee population, which grants were designed to provide additional retention for employees whose prior grants were largely vested and better align employees’ option positions to the grant matrix previously adopted by our board of directors. Our board of directors has granted options with exercise prices equal to 100% of fair market value on the date of grant.

In October 2011, in connection with our offer letter to Mr. Aronson, our compensation committee granted him an initial grant of a time-based option to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock, which was scheduled to vest as to 1/4th of the shares subject to the option on the one year anniversary of Mr. Aronson’s employment start date and 1/36th of the remaining shares subject to the option on each monthly anniversary of Mr. Aronson’s employment start date, in each case subject to his continued employment. We also agreed that for a period of three years, on or about each anniversary of Mr. Aronson’s employment, Mr. Aronson would be granted additional options for 20,000 shares of common stock, subject to the same provisions as his initial option grant. Mr. Aronson also received an initial grant of a RSU for 15,000 shares of common stock, which was scheduled to vest as to 100% of the shares subject to the RSUs on the first annual anniversary of Mr. Aronson’s employment start date. Mr Aronson left our company in August 2012, prior to the vesting of any portion of his initial grant or RSU and he is no longer to receive any further options.

1/4th of the shares will vest on the first anniversary of January 31, 2012, the vesting commencement date, and an additional 1/36th of the remaining shares will vest each month thereafter on the same day of each month as the vesting commencement date, or if there is no corresponding day, on the last day of the month, subject to the optionee’s continuous status as a service provider.

In determining equity incentive awards for our executive officers, the compensation committee reviewed Compensia’s analysis of equity compensation practices within the initial comparable companies (as described above under the caption “Executive Compensation—Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Third Party Analysis of Compensation”), the current unvested equity position of each of our executive officers, and the current value of outstanding equity awards held by our officers.

In the course of making its January 2012 determinations, the compensation committee consulted with Dr. Jin, our chief executive officer, to obtain his input and suggestions concerning proposed compensation adjustments for executive officers reporting to Dr. Jin. The committee also discussed with Dr. Jin proposals relating to Dr. Jin’s compensation, but Dr. Jin did not participate in any deliberations concerning his compensation.

In April 2012, in connection with our retention letter with Mr. Strambi when he was promoted from vice president of finance to chief financial officer, our compensation committee granted him an initial grant of a RSU for 20,000 shares of common stock, which will vest as to 1/16th of the shares subject to the RSUs each quarterly anniversary following the date he became chief financial officer (the “Start Date”). Mr. Strambi also received a grant of a time-based option (the “CFO Grant”) to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock, which commenced vesting as of the Start Date at a rate of 1/48th of the remaining shares subject to the option on each monthly anniversary thereafter. Additionally, Mr. Strambi agreed that each option to purchase common stock he holds as of his start date with an exercise price above $11.00 per share (the “Out-of-the-Money Options”) would be cancelled upon his start date.

Benefits. Our executives participate in our standard benefit plans, which are offered to all full time U.S.-based employees and include our 401(k) plan. We maintain a 401(k) retirement plan which is intended to be a tax qualified defined contribution plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. In general, all of our employees are eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan as of the first day of the first full calendar month following the start of their employment. The 401(k) plan provides a salary deferral program pursuant to which participants may elect to reduce their current compensation by up to the statutorily prescribed limit, equal to $17,000 in 2012 and contribute the withheld amount to the 401(k) plan. Participants over age 50 may elect to make additional elective deferral contributions, or catch-up contributions, in the statutorily prescribed limit equal to $5,500 in 2012. We may, in our sole discretion, make discretionary profit sharing and/or matching contributions to the 401(k) plan on behalf of our employees who are eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan. To date, we have not made any profit sharing contributions but, beginning in July 2006, we began matching employee contributions to the 401(k) plan with up to 4% of an employee’s salary, subject to certain vesting conditions.

Our executives have the opportunity to participate in our health and welfare benefit programs which include a medical program, a dental program, a vision program, life insurance, disability insurance, and flexible spending accounts. These benefits are the same as those offered to all other full time U.S.-based employees. Through our benefit programs, each of our named executive officers received group term life insurance equivalent to 100% of his annual base salary. See the “All Other Compensation” column of the summary compensation table in this section.

Stock Ownership Guidelines. We do not currently have stock ownership guidelines.

Accounting and Tax Considerations. Section 162(m) limits the amount of compensation paid to our chief executive officer and to each of our most highly compensated officers that may be deducted by us for federal income tax purposes in any fiscal year to $1,000,000. Performance-based compensation that has been approved by our stockholders is not subject to the $1,000,000 deduction limit. While the compensation committee cannot predict how the deductibility limit may impact our compensation program in future years, the compensation committee intends to maintain an approach to executive compensation that strongly links pay to performance. In addition, while the compensation committee has not adopted a formal policy regarding tax deductibility of compensation paid to our named executive officers, the compensation committee intends to consider tax deductibility under Section 162(m) as a factor in compensation decisions.

Compensation Committee Report

The compensation committee oversees our compensation policies, plans and benefit programs. The compensation committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with management. Based on such review and discussions, the compensation committee has recommended to the board of directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this proxy statement on Schedule 14A.

The employment agreements with each of our executive officers provide that, if we terminate the executive officer’s employment for Cause (as defined below), death or disability or if the executive officer terminates his employment other than for Good Reason (as defined below) upon or within a two month period before or a 12 month period after a Change of Control, we must pay the executive any base salary earned but not paid through the date of the executive officer’s termination, any earned but unpaid bonus and severance benefits in accordance with our policies then in effect, if any, and the vesting of all of the executive’s outstanding equity awards will cease on the date of the executive officer’s termination.

The employment agreements with each of our executive officers provide that, if we terminate the executive officer’s employment other than for Cause, death or disability, and the termination is not upon or within a two month period before or a 12 month period after a Change of Control, then such executive officer will receive a lump sum severance payment equivalent to a percentage of the executive’s base salary then in effect, a lump sum bonus payment equal to his target bonus as in effect for the year in which the termination occurs, pro-rated for the year (and adjusted based on the achievement of applicable performance objectives as determined solely in the discretion of the board of directors or compensation committee), and continued coverage under our benefit plans for a specified period of time.

The employment agreements with each of our executive officers provide that, if we terminate the executive officer’s employment other than for Cause, death or disability or if the executive officer terminates his employment for Good Reason, and the termination is upon or within a two month period before or a 12 month period after a Change of Control, then such executive officer will receive a lump sum severance payment equivalent to a percentage of the executive officer’s base salary then in effect, a lump sum bonus payment equal to his target bonus as in effect for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs, pro-rated for the year (and adjusted based on the achievement of applicable performance objectives as determined solely in the discretion of the board of directors or compensation committee), continued coverage under our benefit plans for a specified period of time and acceleration of 100% of the unvested equity awards held by such executive officer.

The employment agreements provide that the executive officers will not resign for Good Reason without first providing us with written notice of the acts or omissions constituting the grounds for Good Reason within 90 days of the initial existence of the grounds for Good Reason and a reasonable cure period of not less than 30 days following the date of such notice.

In order to receive the severance benefits described above, the executive officer is obligated to refrain from soliciting our employees to leave our company for a one year period, continue to observe and maintain the confidentiality of all confidential and proprietary information and provide us with an executed separation agreement and release of claims.

In the event any payment to one of our executive officers under his employment agreement is subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code (as a result of a payment being classified as a parachute payment under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code), such executive officer will be entitled to receive such payment as would entitle him to receive the greatest after tax benefit of either the full payment or a lesser payment which would result in no portion of such severance benefits being subject to excise tax.

For the purpose of our employment agreements with our executive officers, “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following:

 

  (i) the acquisition by any one person, or more than one person acting as a group (for these purposes, persons will be considered to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with us), or Person, that becomes the owner, directly or indirectly, of our securities representing more than 50% of the total voting power represented by our then outstanding securities; provided, however, that for the purposes of this subsection (i), the acquisition of additional securities by any one Person, who is considered to own more than 50% of the total voting power of our securities shall not be considered a Change of Control;

 

  (ii) a change in the composition of our board of directors occurring within a 12 month period, as a result of which fewer than a majority of the directors are Incumbent Directors. “Incumbent Directors” will mean directors who either (A) are our directors as of the effective date of the employment agreement with the executive officer or (B) are elected, or nominated for election, to our board of directors with the affirmative votes of a least a majority of the Incumbent Directors at the time of such election or nomination (but will not include an individual whose election or nomination is in connection with an actual or threatened proxy contest relating to the election of our directors); or

 

  (iii)

a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of our assets which occurs on the date that any Person acquires (or has acquired during the 12 month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from us that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 50% of the total gross fair market value of all of our assets immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions; provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (iii), the following shall not constitute a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of our assets: (1) a transfer to an entity that is controlled by our stockholders immediately after the transfer; or (2) a transfer of assets by

 

49


Table of Contents
  us to: (A) a stockholder of ours (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to our securities; (B) an entity, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by us; (C) a Person, that owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of all our outstanding stock; or (D) an entity, at least 50% of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by a Person described in subsection (C). For purposes of this subsection (iii), gross fair market value means the value of our assets, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction of ours that does not constitute a change of control event under Treasury Regulation 1.409A-3(i)(5)(v) or (vii) shall not be considered a Change of Control.

For the purposes of our employment agreements with our executive officers, “Cause” means:

 

  (i) any material act of personal dishonesty made by the executive officer in connection with the executive officer’s responsibilities as an employee;

 

  (ii) the executive officer’s conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony or any crime involving fraud, embezzlement or any other act of moral turpitude;

 

  (iii) the executive officer’s gross misconduct;

 

  (iv) the executive officer’s unauthorized use or disclosure of any of our proprietary information or trade secrets or of any other party to whom the executive officer owes an obligation of nondisclosure as a result of executive officer’s relationship with us;

 

  (v) the executive officer’s willful breach of any obligations under any written agreement or covenant with us; or

 

  (vi) the executive officer’s continued failure to perform his employment duties after the executive officer has received a written demand of performance from us which specifically sets forth the factual basis for our belief that the executive officer has not substantially performed his duties and has failed to cure such nonperformance to our satisfaction within 10 business days after receiving such notice.

For the purpose of our employment agreements with Messrs. Jin, Strambi and Hillberg, “Good Reason” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events without the executive officer’s express written consent:

 

  (i) the assignment to the executive officer of any duties, the reduction of the executive officer’s duties or the removal of the executive officer from his position and responsibilities, either of which must result in a material diminution of such executive officer’s authority, duties or responsibilities with us in effect immediately prior to such assignment, unless the executive officer is provided with a comparable position (i.e., the executive officer’s same position in the parent company of the combined entity);

 

  (ii) a material reduction in the executive officer’s base salary, unless the base salaries of all of our (and, if applicable, our successor’s) other similarly situated employees are also similarly reduced (for these purposes, a reduction of the executive officer’s base salary by 10% or more will be considered material, provided that a reduction of less than 10% may still be material based on the facts and circumstances relating to the reduction);

 

  (iii) a material change in the geographic location of the executive officer’s primary work facility or location; provided, however, that a relocation of less than 35 miles from the executive officer’s then present location will not be considered a material change in geographic location; or

 

  (iv) our failure to obtain assumption of the employment agreement by any successor.

  (i) the assignment to the executive officer of any duties, the reduction of the executive officer’s duties or the removal of the executive officer from his position and responsibilities, either of which must result in a material diminution of the executive officer’s authority, duties, or responsibilities with us in effect immediately prior to such assignment, unless the executive officer is provided with a comparable position (i.e., a position of equal or greater organizational level, duties, authority, compensation and status);

 

  (ii) a material reduction in the executive officer’s base salary, unless the base salaries of all of our (and, if applicable, our successor’s) other similarly situated employees are also similarly reduced (for these purposes, a reduction of the executive officer’s base salary by 10% or more will be considered material, provided that a reduction of less than 10% may still be material based on the facts and circumstances relating to the reduction);

 

  (iii) a material change in the geographic location of the executive officer’s primary work facility or location; provided, however, that a relocation of less than 35 miles from the executive officer’s then present location will not be considered a material change in geographic location; or

 

  (iv) our failure to obtain assumption of the employment agreement by any successor.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The following is a summary of transactions since the beginning of fiscal 2012 to which we were or are a party in which the amount involved exceeded or exceeds $120,000 and in which any of our directors, executive officers, holders of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, had or will have a direct or indirect material interest, other than compensation arrangements with directors and executive officers, which are described where required under the “Executive Compensation” section of this proxy statement.

Transactions with Entities Affiliated with our Directors and Officers

In January 2011, our board of directors approved the purchase of hardware for resale from GlobalSat Technology Corp. (“GlobalSat”). The payments pursuant to this transaction have not been made yet and are estimated to be approximately $2 million annually (which we expect will represent less than 5% of our revenue and GlobatSat’s revenue, respectively, in the applicable period). Samuel Chen, a member of our board of directors, is the chairman of the board of directors of GlobalSat and holds shares of GlobalSat.

Policies and Procedures for Related Party Transactions

As provided by the audit committee charter, the audit committee of our board of directors must review and approve in advance any related party transaction. All of our directors, officers and employees are required to report to the audit committee any related party transaction prior to entering into the transaction.

We believe that we have executed all of the transactions set forth under the section entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions” on terms no less favorable to us than we could have obtained from unaffiliated third parties. It is our intention to ensure that all future transactions between us and our officers, directors and principal stockholders and their affiliates, are approved by the audit committee of our board of directors, and are on terms no less favorable to us than those that we could obtain from unaffiliated third parties.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers, and holders of more than 10% of our common stock to file with the SEC reports regarding their ownership and changes in ownership of our securities. We believe that, during fiscal 2012, our directors, executive officers, and 10% stockholders complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements.

Table of Contents

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth information, as of                     , concerning, except as indicated by the footnotes below:

 

   

Each person whom we know beneficially owns more than five percent of our common stock;

 

   

Each of our directors and nominees for the board of directors;

 

   

Each of our named executive officers; and

 

   

All of our directors and executive officers as a group.

Unless otherwise noted below, the address of each person listed on the table is c/o TeleNav, Inc., 950 De Guigne Drive, Sunnyvale, California 94085.

We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC. Under the SEC’s proxy rules, a person who directly or indirectly has or shares voting power or investment power with respect to a security is considered a beneficial owner of the security. Voting power is the power to vote or direct the voting of shares, and investment power is the power to dispose of or direct the disposition of shares. Except as indicated by the footnotes below, we believe, based on the information furnished to us, that the persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock that they beneficially own, subject to applicable community property laws.

Applicable percentage ownership is based on              shares of common stock outstanding at                     . In computing the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, we deemed outstanding shares of common stock subject to options held by that person that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of                     . We did not deem these shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Beneficial ownership representing less than one percent is denoted with an asterisk (“*”).

A-4


Table of Contents

Shares that, as of the Registration Date, have been reserved but not issued pursuant to any awards granted under the Company’s 1999 Stock Option Plan (the “Existing Plan”) and are not subject to any awards granted thereunder, and (ii) any Shares subject to stock options or similar awards granted under the Existing Plan that expire or otherwise terminate without having been exercised in full and Shares issued pursuant to awards granted under the Existing Plan that are forfeited to or repurchased by the Company, with the maximum number of Shares to be added to the Plan pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) equal to 6,089,029 Shares (post-split). The Shares may be authorized, but unissued, or reacquired Common Stock.

(b) Automatic Share Reserve Increase. The number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan will be increased on the first day of each Fiscal Year beginning with the 2012 Fiscal Year (i.e. the fiscal year commencing July 1, 2011), in an amount equal to the least of (i) 1,666,666 Shares (post-split), (ii) 4.0% of the outstanding Shares on the last day of the immediately preceding Fiscal Year or (iii) such number of Shares determined by the Board.

(c) Lapsed Awards. If an Award expires or becomes unexercisable without having been exercised in full, is surrendered pursuant to an Exchange Program, or, with respect to Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Units or Performance Shares, is forfeited to or repurchased by the Company due to failure to vest, the unpurchased Shares (or for Awards other than Options or Stock Appreciation Rights the forfeited or repurchased Shares) which were subject thereto will become available for future grant or sale under the Plan (unless the Plan has terminated). With respect to Stock Appreciation Rights, only Shares actually issued (i.e., the net Shares issued) pursuant to a Stock Appreciation Right will cease to be available under the Plan; all remaining Shares under Stock Appreciation Rights will remain available for future grant or sale under the Plan (unless the Plan has terminated). Shares that have actually been issued under the Plan under any Award will not be returned to the Plan and will not become available for future distribution under the Plan; provided, however, that if Shares issued pursuant to Awards of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Shares or Performance Units are repurchased by the Company or are forfeited to the Company, such Shares will become available for future grant under the Plan. Shares used to pay the exercise price of an Award or to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to an Award will become available for future grant or sale under the Plan. To the extent an Award under the Plan is paid out in cash rather than Shares, such cash payment will not result in reducing the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing and, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 15, the maximum number of Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options will equal the aggregate Share number stated in Section 3(a), plus, to the extent allowable under Section 422 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, any Shares that become available for issuance under the Plan pursuant to Sections 3(b) and 3(c).

(d) Share Reserve. The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

4. Administration of the Plan.

(a) Procedure.

(i) Multiple Administrative Bodies. Different Committees with respect to different groups of Service Providers may administer the Plan.

(ii) Section 162(m). To the extent that the Administrator determines it to be desirable to qualify Awards granted hereunder as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the Plan will be administered by a Committee of two (2) or more “outside directors” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code.

(iii) Rule 16b-3. To the extent desirable to qualify transactions hereunder as exempt under Rule 16b-3, the transactions contemplated hereunder will be structured to satisfy the requirements for exemption under Rule 16b-3.

(viii) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans established for the purpose of satisfying applicable foreign laws;

(ix) to modify or amend each Award (subject to Section 20 of the Plan), including but not limited to the discretionary authority to extend the post-termination exercisability period of Awards and to extend the maximum term of an Option (subject to Section 7(b) of the Plan regarding Incentive Stock Options);

(x) to allow Participants to satisfy withholding tax obligations in such manner as prescribed in Section 16 of the Plan;

(xi) to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any instrument required to effect the grant of an Award previously granted by the Administrator;

(xii) to allow a Participant to defer the receipt of the payment of cash or the delivery of Shares that would otherwise be due to such Participant under an Award; and

(xiii) to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the Plan.

A-6


Table of Contents

(b) Restricted Stock, Performance Share and Restricted Stock Unit Annual Limit. No Participant shall be granted, in any Fiscal Year, more than 1,500,000 Shares in the aggregate of the following: (i) Restricted Stock, (ii) Performance Shares, or (iii) Restricted Stock Units; provided, however, that such limit shall be 3,000,000 Shares in the Participant’s first Fiscal Year of Company service.

(c) Performance Units Annual Limit. No Participant shall receive Performance Units, in any Fiscal Year, having an initial value greater than $2,000,000, provided, however, that such limit shall be $4,000,000 in the Participant’s first Fiscal Year of Company service.

(d) Section 162(m) Performance Restrictions. For purposes of qualifying grants of Restricted Stock, Performance Shares, Performance Units or Restricted Stock Units as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Administrator, in its discretion, may set restrictions based upon the achievement of Performance Goals. The Performance Goals shall be set by the Administrator on or before the latest date permissible to enable the Restricted Stock, Performance Shares, Performance Units or Restricted Stock Units to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. In granting Restricted Stock, Performance Shares, Performance Units or Restricted Stock Units which are intended to qualify under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Administrator shall follow any procedures determined by it from time to time to be necessary or appropriate to facilitate qualification of the Award under Section 162(m) of the Code (e.g., in determining the Performance Goals); provided, however, that the Administrator does not guarantee that any Awards granted hereunder so qualify.

(e) Changes in Capitalization. The numerical limitations in Sections 6(a) and (b) shall be adjusted proportionately in connection with any change in the Company’s capitalization as described in Section 15(a).

7. Stock Options.

(a) Limitations. Each Option will be designated in the Award Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Participant during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), such Options will be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 7(a), Incentive Stock Options will be taken into account in the order in which they were granted. The Fair Market Value of the Shares will be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares is granted.

(b) Term of Option. The term of each Option will be stated in the Award Agreement. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the term will be ten (10) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement. Moreover, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Incentive Stock Option will be five (5) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement.

(c) Option Exercise Price and Consideration.

(i) Exercise Price. The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option will be determined by the Administrator, subject to the following:

(1) In the case of an Incentive Stock Option

a) granted to an Employee who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the per Share exercise price will be no less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

 

A-7


Table of Contents

b) granted to any Employee other than an Employee described in paragraph (A) immediately above, the per Share exercise price will be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

(2) In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, the per Share exercise price will be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Options may be granted with a per Share exercise price of less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant pursuant to a transaction described in, and in a manner consistent with, Section 424(a) of the Code.

(ii) Waiting Period and Exercise Dates. At the time an Option is granted, the Administrator will fix the period within which the Option may be exercised and will determine any conditions that must be satisfied before the Option may be exercised.

(iii) Form of Consideration. The Administrator will determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method of payment. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Administrator will determine the acceptable form of consideration at the time of grant. Such consideration may consist entirely of: (1) cash; (2) check; (3) promissory note, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, (4) other Shares, provided that such Shares have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which such Option will be exercised and provided that accepting such Shares will not result in any adverse accounting consequences to the Company, as the Administrator determines in its sole discretion; (5) consideration received by the Company under a broker-assisted (or other) cashless exercise program (whether through a broker or otherwise) implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan; (6) by net exercise; (7) such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws; or (8) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment.

(d) Exercise of Option.

(i) Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder. Any Option granted hereunder will be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

An Option will be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (i) notice of exercise (in such form as the Administrator may specify from time to time) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and (ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised (together with applicable withholding taxes). Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Award Agreement and the Plan. Shares issued upon exercise of an Option will be issued in the name of the Participant or, if requested by the Participant, in the name of the Participant and his or her spouse. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder will exist with respect to the Shares subject to an Option, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company will issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 15 of the Plan.

Participant may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option will remain exercisable for three (3) months following the Participant’s termination. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if on the date of termination the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will revert to the Plan. If after termination the Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified by the Administrator, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan.

(iii) Disability of Participant. If a Participant ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Participant’s Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option will remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Participant’s termination. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if on the date of termination the Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will revert to the Plan. If after termination the Participant does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan.

(iv) Death of Participant. If a Participant dies while a Service Provider, the Option may be exercised following the Participant’s death within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death (but in no event may the option be exercised later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement), by the Participant’s designated beneficiary, provided such beneficiary has been designated prior to Participant’s death in a form acceptable to the Administrator. If no such beneficiary has been designated by the Participant, then such Option may be exercised by the personal representative of the Participant’s estate or by the person(s) to whom the Option is transferred pursuant to the Participant’s will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution. In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option will remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following Participant’s death. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator, if at the time of death Participant is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option will immediately revert to the Plan. If the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option will terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option will revert to the Plan.

All grants of Awards to Outside Directors pursuant to this Section will be automatic and nondiscretionary, except as otherwise provided herein, and will be made in accordance with the following provisions:

(b) Type of Option. If Options are granted pursuant to this Section they will be Nonstatutory Stock Options and, except as otherwise provided herein, will be subject to the other terms and conditions of the Plan.

(e) Annual Award. Each Outside Director will be automatically granted an Option to purchase 4,166 Shares (post-split) (an “Annual Award”) on each date of the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company, if as of such date, he or she will have served on the Board for at least the preceding six (6) months.

13. Leaves of Absence/Transfer Between Locations. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Awards granted hereunder will be suspended during any unpaid leave of absence. A Participant will not cease to be an Employee in the case of (i) any leave of absence approved by the Company or (ii) transfers between locations of the Company or between the Company, its Parent, or any Subsidiary. For purposes of Incentive Stock Options, no such leave may exceed three (3) months, unless reemployment upon expiration of such leave is guaranteed by statute or contract. If reemployment upon expiration of a leave of absence approved by the Company is not so guaranteed, then six (6) months following the first (1st) day of such leave any Incentive Stock Option held by the Participant will cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and will be treated for tax purposes as a Nonstatutory Stock Option.

14. Transferability of Awards. Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, an Award may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant. If the Administrator makes an Award transferable, such Award will contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate.

15. Adjustments; Dissolution or Liquidation; Merger or Change in Control.

(a) Adjustments. In the event that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Shares, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, or exchange of Shares or other securities of the Company, or other change in the corporate structure of the Company affecting the Shares occurs, the Administrator, in order to prevent diminution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan, will adjust the number and class of Shares that may be delivered under the Plan and/or the number, class, and price of Shares covered by each outstanding Award, the numerical Share limits in Section 3 of the Plan, and the number of Shares issuable pursuant to Awards to be granted under Section 12 of the Plan.

(b) Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator will notify each Participant as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed action.

(c) Change in Control. In the event of a merger or Change in Control, each outstanding Award will be treated as the Administrator determines, including, without limitation, that each Award be assumed or an equivalent option or right substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. The Administrator will not be required to treat all Awards similarly in the transaction.

In the event that the successor corporation does not assume or substitute for the Award, the Participant will fully vest in and have the right to exercise all of his or her outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights, including Shares as to which such Awards would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, all restrictions on Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units will lapse, and, with respect to Awards with performance-based vesting, all performance goals or other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at one hundred percent (100%) of target levels and all other terms and conditions met. In addition, if an Option or Stock Appreciation Right is not assumed or substituted in the event of a Change in Control, the Administrator will notify the Participant in writing or electronically that the Option or Stock Appreciation Right will be exercisable for a period of time determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, and the Option or Stock Appreciation Right will terminate upon the expiration of such period.

For the purposes of this subsection (c), an Award will be considered assumed if, following the Change in Control, the Award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the Change in Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities or property) received in

 

A-13


Table of Contents

the Change in Control by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Change in Control is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right or upon the payout of a Restricted Stock Unit, Performance Unit or Performance Share, for each Share subject to such Award, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the Change in Control.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 15(c) to the contrary, an Award that vests, is earned or paid-out upon the satisfaction of one or more performance goals will not be considered assumed if the Company or its successor modifies any of such performance goals without the Participant’s consent; provided, however, a modification to such performance goals only to reflect the successor corporation’s post-Change in Control corporate structure will not be deemed to invalidate an otherwise valid Award assumption.

(d) Outside Director Awards. With respect to Awards granted to an Outside Director that are assumed or substituted for, if on the date of or following such assumption or substitution the Participant’s status as a Director or a director of the successor corporation, as applicable, is terminated other than upon a voluntary resignation by the Participant (unless such resignation is at the request of the acquirer), then the Participant will fully vest in and have the right to exercise Options and/or Stock Appreciation Rights as to all of the Shares underlying such Award, including those Shares which would not otherwise be vested or exercisable, all restrictions on Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units will lapse, and, with respect to Performance Units and Performance Shares, all performance goals or other vesting criteria will be deemed achieved at one hundred percent (100%) of target levels and all other terms and conditions met.

16. Tax.

(a) Withholding Requirements. Prior to the delivery of any Shares or cash pursuant to an Award (or exercise thereof), the Company will have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local, foreign or other taxes (including the Participant’s FICA obligation) required to be withheld with respect to such Award (or exercise thereof).

(b) Withholding Arrangements. The Administrator, in its sole discretion and pursuant to such procedures as it may specify from time to time, may permit a Participant to satisfy such tax withholding obligation, in whole or in part by (without limitation) (a) paying cash, (b) electing to have the Company withhold otherwise deliverable cash or Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum statutory amount required to be withheld, or (c) delivering to the Company already-owned Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the minimum statutory amount required to be withheld. The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld or delivered will be determined as of the date that the taxes are required to be withheld.

(c) Compliance With Code Section 409A. Awards will be designed and operated in such a manner that they are either exempt from the application of, or comply with, the requirements of Code Section 409A such that the grant, payment, settlement or deferral will not be subject to the additional tax or interest applicable under Code Section 409A, except as otherwise determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator. The Plan and each Award Agreement under the Plan is intended to meet the requirements of Code Section 409A and will be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent, except as otherwise determined in the sole discretion of the Administrator. To the extent that an Award or payment, or the settlement or deferral thereof, is subject to Code Section 409A the Award will be granted, paid, settled or deferred in a manner that will meet the requirements of Code Section 409A, such that the grant, payment, settlement or deferral will not be subject to the additional tax or interest applicable under Code Section 409A.

17. No Effect on Employment or Service. Neither the Plan nor any Award will confer upon a Participant any right with respect to continuing the Participant’s relationship as a Service Provider with the Company, nor will they interfere in any way with the Participant’s right or the Company’s right to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause, to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

18. Date of Grant. The date of grant of an Award will be, for all purposes, the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Award, or such other later date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the determination will be provided to each Participant within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

19. Term of Plan. Subject to Section 23 of the Plan, the Plan will become effective upon the later to occur of (i) its adoption by the Board or (ii) immediately prior to the Registration Date. It will continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years from the date adopted by the Board, unless terminated earlier under Section 20 of the Plan.

20. Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

(a) Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

(b) Stockholder Approval. The Company will obtain stockholder approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws.

(c) Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan will impair the rights of any Participant, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and the Company. Termination of the Plan will not affect the Administrator’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.

21. Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.

(a) Legal Compliance. Shares will not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award unless the exercise of such Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares will comply with Applicable Laws and will be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

(b) Investment Representations. As a condition to the exercise of an Award, the Company may require the person exercising such Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required.

22. Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, will relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority will not have been obtained.

23. Stockholder Approval. The Plan will be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board. Such stockholder approval will be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under Applicable Laws.

Each Payout Formula shall (a) be set forth in writing prior to the Determination Date, (b) be based on a comparison of actual performance to the Performance Goals, (c) provide for the payment of a Participant’s Target Award if the Performance Goals for the Performance Period are achieved, and (d) provide for an Award greater than or less than the Participant’s Target Award, depending upon the extent to which actual performance exceeds or falls below the Performance Goals. Notwithstanding the preceding, in no event shall a Participant’s Award for any Performance Period exceed the Maximum Award.

8. Determination of Awards; Award Payment.

(a) Determination and Certification. After the end of each Performance Period, the Committee shall certify in writing (which may be by approval of the minutes in which the certification was made) the extent to which the Performance Goals applicable to each Participant for the Performance Period were achieved or exceeded. The Award for each Participant shall be determined by applying the Payout Formula to the level of actual performance that has been certified by the Committee. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Plan, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may eliminate or reduce the Award payable to any Participant below that which otherwise would be payable under the Payout Formula but shall not have the right to increase the Award above that which would otherwise be payable under the Payout Formula.

(b) Right to Receive Payment. Each Award under the Plan shall be paid solely from the general assets of the Company. Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to create a trust or to establish or evidence any Participant’s claim of any right to payment of an Award other than as an unsecured general creditor with respect to any payment to which he or she may be entitled. A Participant needs to be employed by the Company through the payment date in order to be eligible to receive an Award payout hereunder; provided, however, that if a Participant dies or becomes Disabled prior to the payment of an Award earned by him or her prior to his or her death or Disability for a Performance Period completed prior to such death or Disability, the Award will be paid to his or her estate or to the Participant, as the case may be, in all events within two and one-half months following the end of such Performance Period, and subject to the Committee’s discretion to reduce or eliminate any Award otherwise payable.

(c) Form of Distributions. The Company shall distribute all Awards to the Participant in cash.

(d) Timing of Distributions. Subject to Section 8(e) below, the Company shall distribute amounts payable to Participants as soon as is practicable following the determination and written certification of the Award for a Performance Period.

(e) Deferral. The Committee may defer payment of Awards, or any portion thereof, to Covered Employees as the Committee, in its discretion, determines to be necessary or desirable to preserve the deductibility of such amounts under Section 162(m). In addition, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may permit a Participant to defer receipt of the payment of cash that would otherwise be delivered to a Participant under the Plan. Any such deferral elections shall be subject to such rules and procedures as shall be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

9. Term of Plan. Subject to its approval at the 2012 annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, the Plan shall continue until terminated under Section 10 of the Plan.

10. Amendment and Termination of the Plan. The Committee may amend, modify, suspend or terminate the Plan, in whole or in part, at any time, including the adoption of amendments deemed necessary or desirable to correct any defect or to supply omitted data or to reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan or in any Award granted hereunder; provided, however, that no amendment, alteration, suspension or discontinuation shall be made which would (i) impair any payments to Participants made prior to such amendment, modification, suspension or termination, unless the Committee has made a determination that such amendment or modification is in the best interests of all persons to whom Awards have theretofore been granted; provided further, however, that in no event may such an amendment or modification result in an increase in the amount of compensation payable pursuant to such Award or (ii) cause compensation that is, or may become, payable hereunder to fail to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation. To the extent necessary or advisable under applicable law, including Section 162(m), Plan amendments shall be subject to shareholder approval. At no time before the actual distribution of funds to Participants under the Plan shall any Participant accrue any vested interest or right whatsoever under the Plan except as otherwise stated in this Plan.

11. Withholding. Distributions pursuant to this Plan shall be subject to all applicable federal and state tax and withholding requirements.

12. At-Will Employment. No statement in this Plan should be construed to grant any employee an employment contract of fixed duration or any other contractual rights, nor should this Plan be interpreted as creating an implied or an expressed contract of employment or any other contractual rights between the Company and its employees. The employment relationship between the Company and its employees is terminable at-will. This means that an employee of the Company may terminate the employment relationship at any time and for any reason or no reason.

13. Successors. All obligations of the Company under the Plan, with respect to awards granted hereunder, shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company.

14. Indemnification. Each person who is or shall have been a member of the Committee, or of the Board, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against and from (a) any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan or any award, and (b) from any and all amounts paid by him or her in settlement thereof, with the Company’s approval, or paid by him or her in satisfaction of any judgment in any such claim, action, suit, or proceeding against him or her, provided he or she shall give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, by contract, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or under any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

15. Nonassignment. The rights of a Participant under this Plan shall not be assignable or transferable by the Participant except by will or the laws of intestacy.

16. Governing Law. The Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflicts of law provisions thereunder.
