Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On July 25, 2013, Brightcove Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing certain financial and other information for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The full text of the press release and the related attachments are furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

The information in this Item 2.02 of this Report on Form 8-K and Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto is intended to be furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

On July 25, 2013, the Company entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Jeremy Allaire (the “Restated Employment Agreement”). The Restated Employment Agreement permits Mr. Allaire to transition to a part-time schedule so he can pursue other interests. Mr. Allaire will remain on the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) as the Chairman of the Board.

The Restated Employment Agreement, which supersedes the employment agreement between the Company and Mr. Allaire dated August 8, 2011 (the “Prior Employment Agreement”), provides for the following, among other things: (i) base salary of $150,000; (ii) target annual incentive compensation of 45 percent of base salary; (iii) reimbursement of all reasonable expenses incurred by Mr. Allaire in performing his services as Chairman; (iv) continued participation in the Company’s employee benefit plans; and (v) severance and change in control benefits contingent upon Mr. Allaire’s agreeing to a general release of claims in favor of the Company following termination of employment. The foregoing description of the Restated Employment Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Restated Employment Agreement which is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
