Election of Director

On August 16, 2013, the PTC Inc. Board of Directors elected Janice Chaffin as a Class III Director to serve until the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.  Ms. Chaffin, age 59, most recently served as Group President, Consumer Business Unit of Symantec Corporation, a provider of security, backup and availability solutions, from April 2007 to March 2013.  Prior to that, she served as Chief Marketing Officer of Symantec.  Prior to joining Symantec, she spent 21 years at Hewlett-Packard Company, where she held variety of marketing and business management positions.

It has not yet been determined whether Ms. Chaffin will be appointed to any committees of the Board.

Ms. Chaffin was granted 11,917 restricted stock units (RSUs), each representing the right to one share of PTC common stock, as a new director retention grant, which shares will vest in two substantially equal installments on each of the first and second anniversaries of the grant date, provided she remains a director of PTC on the relevant vest dates.  In addition, Ms. Chaffin will receive an annual cash retainer and annual equity retainer in the same amounts as our non-employee directors (other than our Chairman of the Board).  For her current term, those amounts were pro-rated for the remaining portion of the current term.  Accordingly, the annual cash retainer was pro-rated to $29,167 and the annual equity retainer was pro-rated to 4,634 RSUs, which RSUs shares will vest on the earlier of the date of 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and March 15, 2014 if she remains a director of PTC on that date.  Ms. Chaffin will also earn $2,000 for each meeting of any committee of the Board of Directors on which she serves that she attends.
