ITEM 8.01. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
Executive Stock Ownership Policy: On December 11, TiVo’s board of directors approved an executive stock ownership policy applicable to TiVo’s executive officers. Effective February 1, 2014, TiVo’s chief executive officer will be required to retain 3 times his base salary in TiVo stock and TiVo’s other executive officers will be required to retain the equivalent of their base salary in TiVo stock. Each executive officer will be required to retain at least 50% of any net vested or exercised shares until such executive reaches the required ownership threshold.
Board Ownership Guidelines: As previously disclosed in September 2013, TiVo’s board increased its equity ownership guidelines for non-employee directors to require each non-employee director to own 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock within five years of the director joining the Board (which at the time of implementation was roughly equivalent to five times the annual cash retainer paid to a non-employee Board member).
Incentive Compensation Clawback Policy: On December 11, TiVo’s board of directors also approved an incentive compensation clawback policy applicable to TiVo’s executive officers. As set forth in the policy, TiVo’s board of directors is authorized to recoup any incentive compensation that the board determines was improperly paid to an executive officer in connection with such executive officer’s acts or omissions related to a future restatement.
Restrictions on Hedging and Pledging: TiVo’s policy on insider trading, which applies to employees and TiVo’s board of directors, prohibits individuals at TiVo from engaging in speculative trading in TiVo stock, including trading in TiVo stock on margin, pledging or hedging of TiVo stock, and trading in derivative securities of TiVo stock (such as puts and calls).
The agreement of each of TiVo’s executive officers to be bound by the executive stock ownership and incentive compensation clawback policies will be made pursuant to the form of acknowledgment of the executive stock ownership and incentive compensation clawback policies, attached as Exhibit 10.1.
