ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
Following the expiration of the change of control retention agreements previously entered into by Silicon Image, Inc. (the “Registrant”) with the Executives, as hereinafter defined, on February 7, 2012, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Registrant authorized the entering into by the Registrant of new change of control retention agreements (each, an “Agreement” and, collectively, the “Agreements”) with each of Registrant’s executive officers and vice presidents, including each of the Registrant's named executive officers (each an “Executive” and collective the “Executives”).
Under each Agreement, if the Executive is terminated by the Registrant without “cause,” or if the executive resigns for “good reason,” each as defined in the Agreement, during the period beginning three months before and ending twelve months following a change of control of the Registrant, the Executive will be entitled to receive the following severance benefits: the Registrant's Chief Executive Officer shall receive three times (3x) the Chief Executive Officer's base salary at the time of termination; the Registrant's Chief Financial Officer shall receive two times (2x) the Chief Financial Officer's base salary at the time of termination; and all other Executives shall receive one and one-half times (1.5x) such Executive's base salary at the time of termination. In addition, each Executive shall be entitled to acceleration of an additional two years of the Executive's unvested stock options at the time of termination, acceleration of an additional six months of the Executive's unvested restricted stock units at the time of termination and, if the Executive elects coverage under COBRA, reimbursed health and welfare benefits for up to twelve months following his or her termination. The receipt of benefits under each Agreement is conditioned upon the Executive signing a general release of claims in favor of the Registrant, and will be unavailable if the executive is terminated because of his death or permanent disability.
The foregoing is a summary of the Agreements and does not purport to be complete. The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Agreement, which will be filed by the Registrant as an exhibit to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ending March 31, 2012.
