Item 1.01. Material Definitive Agreement
On October 18, 2010, the stockholders of Lawson Software, Inc. (the Company) voted to approve the Lawson Software, Inc. 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2010 Plan). The 2010 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, stock unit awards and performance awards to employees, non-employee directors, consultants, advisors and independent contractors of the Company. A maximum of 20 million shares of the Companys common stock are reserved for issuance under the 2010 Plan, subject to adjustment for certain changes in the Companys corporate structure or shares. Unless terminated earlier, the 2010 Plan will terminate on October 18, 2020. This summary of the 2010 Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2010 Plan, which is included as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein. A more detailed summary can also be found in the Companys proxy statement for the 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 31, 2010. Also included as Exhibits 10.2-10.7 are the forms of award agreements for stock options and restricted stock units under the 2010 Plan, which are incorporated by reference herein.
Effective October 18, 2010, the Board of Directors amended the 1996 Stock Incentive Plan and the 2001 Stock Incentive Plan so that no future awards or grants would be made under those plans (see Exhibits 10.8 and 10.9 referred to below).
