2012 Stock Option Plan

 

On January 30, 2014, the Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Board of Directors of SGS Holdings, Inc. (“SGS”), the parent company and sole stockholder of Stream Global Services, Inc. (the “Company”), approved the acceleration of the vesting of all outstanding equity awards granted under the SGS 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”), subject to and contingent upon the consummation of the merger (the “Merger”) contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated January 6, 2014, by and among Convergys Corporation, Comet Merger Co., SGS and the stockholders of SGS (the “Merger Agreement”).

 

The Compensation Committee also determined that, subject to and contingent upon the consummation of the Merger, as of the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), awards outstanding under the 2012 Plan with an exercise price less than the Per Share Merger Consideration (as defined in the Merger Agreement) shall be (i) terminated and be of no further force or effect and (ii) deemed to have been exercised as of the Effective Time, with each award holder to be paid an amount equal to the Option Cash Amount (as defined in the Merger Agreement) pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.  The Compensation Committee further determined that, subject to and contingent upon the consummation of the Merger, any award under the 2012 Plan with an exercise price equal to or greater than the Per Share Merger Consideration shall be cancelled as of the Effective Time and no payment will be made with respect thereto.

 

A copy of the Merger Agreement has been filed as Exhibit 2.1 to that certain Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 7, 2014.  The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement.

 

Cash Award

 

Also on January 30, 2014, the Compensation Committee approved payment of a cash award in the gross amount of $40,300 to Michael Henricks, Chief Financial Officer of the Company.
