Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
(d) On February 8, 2011, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Support.com, Inc. (the “Company”) voted to increase the number of directors that constitute the whole Board from six (6) to seven (7) directors, effective February 8, 2011, pursuant to article III, Section 1 of the Company’s Bylaws.
On February 8, 2011, the Board unanimously voted to elect Toni Portmann as a director of the Company, effective immediately, pursuant to Article III, Section 4 of the Company’s Bylaws. The Board also appointed Ms. Portmann to serve on the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board.
Ms. Portmann currently serves as the Chairman of the Board of Resolvity, a provider of intelligent, personalized on-demand interactive voice response solutions. Portmann has over thirty years of leadership experience in bringing technology and personalization to service delivery. As the CEO of Stream, Inc. Portmann transformed a $75 Million technical service delivery company with 1,500 employees into a highly profitable $500 Million global leader with service centers in 16 countries and over 15,000 employees handling voice and electronic support inquiries for businesses in the High Tech, Telecom and Consumer Electronics industries.
Non-Employee Director Compensation
Ms. Portmann will receive the Company’s standard non-employee director compensation in the form of equity and cash compensation as described below:
Equity. On February 8, 2011, the Board approved a grant of options under the Company’s 2010 Equity and Performance Compensation Plan (the “2010 Plan”) to purchase 40,000 shares for Ms. Portmann. Such stock options will have a grant date of February 8, 2011, and the exercise price of such stock options will be equal to the closing trading price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. All of such stock options will vest ratably on a monthly basis over the four years following the grant date. In addition, the option to purchase shares of our common stock provides for immediate and full acceleration of vesting upon the occurrence of a change of control. Historically, at the conclusion of each regular annual meeting of our stockholders, each continuing non-employee director received a grant of an option to purchase 10,000 shares of our common stock as provided for in the 2010 Plan.
Cash Retainer. Ms. Portmann is paid an annual retainer of $30,000 for serving as a director. The retainer is pro-rated and paid quarterly.
Grants of Refresh Stock Options
On February 7, 2011, the Compensation Committee approved the following stock option grants to the following executive officers under the 2010 Plan: Joshua Pickus was approved to receive a grant of options to purchase 75,000 shares, 1/48th of which vest each month over four years, and a grant of options to purchase 75,000 shares, 1/4th of which vest upon the completion of two consecutive quarters of non-GAAP positive net income, as determined by the Board, and 1/36th of which vest each month thereafter, over three years; Shelly Schaffer was approved to receive a grant of options to purchase 37,500 shares, 1/48th of which vest each month over four years, and a grant of options to purchase 37,500 shares, 1/4th of which vest upon the completion of two consecutive quarters of non-GAAP positive net income, as determined by the Board, and 1/36th of which vest each month thereafter, over three years; Anthony Rodio was approved to receive a grant of options to purchase 37,500 shares, 1/48th of which vest each month over four years, and a grant of options to purchase 37,500 shares, 1/4th of which vest upon the completion of two consecutive quarters of non-GAAP positive net income, as determined by the Board, and 1/36th of which vest each month thereafter, over three years.
