Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On March 25, 2013, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of RealNetworks, Inc. approved the 2013 Executive MBO Plan. The Compensation Committee will administer this plan, which is pursuant to the RealNetworks 2005 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated.
Payouts under the 2013 Executive MBO Plan will be determined by our Compensation Committee and will be based 75% on company and/or divisional financial performance and 25% on individual performance. Financial performance will be measured by the achievement of specific financial goals related to revenue (weighted at 50% of total performance) and adjusted EBITDA (weighted at 25% of total performance). Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that we define as operating income (loss) including other income (expense) net, but excluding depreciation and amortization; acquisition-related intangible asset amortization; stock-based compensation; impairment of deferred costs; restructuring and other charges; gain on sale of patents and other technology assets, net of costs; and gain/loss on excess office facilities.
Under the 2013 Executive MBO Plan, cash incentive bonus targets and maximum award opportunities for 2013 for our named executive officers, other than our interim chief executive officer, are as follows:
