Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On July 9, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board, approved of the allocations, methodologies, and metrics for the payment of bonuses for fiscal 2015, if any, to the Company’s named executive officers under the Company’s Executive Bonus Plan.

The Company’s named executive officers are eligible to receive bonuses following the end of the fiscal year based upon the attainment of corporate objectives and personal goals. Corporate objectives for fiscal 2015 consist of cloud revenue, cloud gross margin and cloud retention targets established by the Board. The target bonus for fiscal 2015 is based on a weighting ranging from 70% to 85% for corporate objectives and from 15% to 30% for personal goals. The actual amount of any bonus paid to each named executive officer will be based on the level of achievement by the Company of the corporate objectives as well as by the named executives of their respective personal goals.

At 100% attainment of the corporate objectives and personal goals, the amount of the cash bonuses payable to the named executive officers at the target level range from 70% to 100% of their respective base salaries. Each named executive officer is eligible to receive a bonus payment in excess of the target bonus amount if the corporate objectives are exceeded, up to a maximum of 150% of their respective target bonus amount attributed to the corporate objectives.

The Compensation Committee determines the actual bonus payment amounts for all of the named executive officers under the Company’s Executive Bonus Plan and makes a recommendation of the final payment levels to the Board for approval.
