On October 22, 2013, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of athenahealth, Inc. (“athenahealth”) appointed Amy Abernethy, MD, Ph.D. to the Board.

2013 CEO Equity Award Modification
On October 22, 2013, the compensation committee (the “Committee”) of the Board approved an amendment of the stock option granted to Jonathan Bush, the President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairman of the Board, on March 1, 2013, to purchase 182,000 shares of athenahealth common stock (the “2013 Stock Option”). The 2013 Stock Option was amended to provide that 50% of the shares subject to the award (the “Performance-based Portion”) will become vested and exercisable only if, following the fiscal year 2014, the Committee certifies that the following performance criteria have been met for athenahealth’s fiscal year 2014: (1) annual revenue growth over fiscal year 2013 of 20% or greater; and (2) Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Margin of 50% or greater.* If both performance criteria are met, then the Performance-based Portion of the 2013 Stock Option shall vest as follows:
45,500 shares (50%) | 3/1/2015 |
22,750 shares (25%) | 3/1/2016 |
22,750 shares (25%) | 3/1/2017 |
If, following fiscal year 2014, the Committee determines that the performance criteria have not been met, then the Performance-based Portion of the 2013 Stock Option shall immediately and automatically be forfeited. The 50% of the shares subject to the 2013 Stock Option that are not subject to the performance criteria will continue to vest and be exercisable in accordance with the original vesting schedule as follows:
22,750 shares (25%) | 3/1/2014 |
22,750 shares (25%) | 3/1/2015 |
22,750 shares (25%) | 3/1/2016 |
22,750 shares (25%) | 3/1/2017 |
* | “Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Margin” means Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Profit as a percentage of total revenue and “Non-GAAP Adjusted Gross Profit” means total revenue less direct operating expense plus (1) stock-based compensation expense allocated to direct operating expense and (2) amortization of purchased intangible assets allocated to direct operating expense. |
