Amended and Restated 2012 Equity Incentive Plan
On October 29, 2019, the shareholders of Seagate Technology plc (the “Company”) voting at the Company’s 2019 Annual General Meeting (the “AGM”) approved the Amended and Restated Seagate Technology plc 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Amended EIP”). The principal amendments are detailed below. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Amended EIP. The Amended EIP became effective as of the date of its approval.
• | The number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the Amended EIP has been increased by 12,100,000 shares to an aggregate of 71,600,000, plus 12,549,079 shares remaining available for grant under a predecessor plan. |
• | The ratio for counting Full-Value Share Awards against the share reserve has been amended so that Full-Value Share Awards will be counted against the share reserve as 2.25 shares for every 1 share granted (previously, 2.5 shares for every 1 share granted, or 2.1 shares for every 1 share granted for grants prior to October 22, 2014). |
• | The term of the EIP has been extended to October 29, 2029. |
• | Minimum vesting requirements have been introduced to mandate a vesting period of at least one year for all awards granted under the Amended EIP (other than substitute awards, non-employee director awards that have a vesting period of at least 50 weeks, and adjustments for corporate transactions including (but not limited to) a change of control), except with respect to awards relating to 5% of the shares available for grant as of the effective date of the Amended EIP. |
• | The Amended EIP has been updated to reflect relevant provisions of the Tax Act. The Amended EIP retains certain terms for the Outstanding Qualified Performance-Based Awards (as defined in the Amended EIP) which may permit such “performance-based awards” to qualify for the exemption from the deduction limitation under Prior Section 162(m) and the transition relief promulgated by the IRS. |
• | The existing prohibition on the payment of dividend equivalents on unvested or unearned unit awards has been extended to apply to all awards and to prohibit the payment of dividends or dividend equivalents on any unvested or unearned award, including restricted share bonus awards and other awards. Such amounts will not be payable, if at all, until the awards vest. |
• | The definition of “fair market value” has been revised. The Amended EIP requires the value of the shares to be determined as of a particular date but if the NASDAQ Global Select Market is not open for business on such date, the value of a share will be determined by reference to the closing price reported for the immediately preceding trading day on the NASDAQ Global Select Market. |
The above description of the Amended EIP is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended EIP, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
Item 5.07 | Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. |
On October 29, 2019, shareholders at the Company’s AGM: (1) elected all ten of the Company’s nominees for directors; (2) approved, in an advisory, non-binding vote the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers; (3) ratified, in a non-binding vote, the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP to serve as the Company’s independent auditors for the fiscal year ending July 3, 2020 and authorized, in a binding vote, the Audit Committee to set the auditors’ remuneration; (4) approved the Amended EIP; (5) granted the Board of Directors (“Board”) authority to allot and issue shares; (6) granted the Board the authority to opt-out of statutory pre-emption rights; and (7) determined the price range at which the Company can re-allot shares that it acquires as treasury shares.
The final voting results on these proposals are as follows:
