Item 8.01. Other Events
On December 15, 2014, the Company’s Senior Vice President of Finance, Narsi Narayanan, entered into a 10b5-1(c) Stock Purchase Plan (“Plan”) in regards to his participation in the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Mr. Narayanan entered into the Plan in order to facilitate purchases of the Company’s stock under his participation in the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
Principal terms of Mr. Narayanan’s Plan include the following:
Purchases of Common Stock will be made in accordance with the Plan's offering periods through issuance of shares by the Company to a broker designated by the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan Committee. Value of shares purchased will not exceed $30,000 per year, equally distributed over the offering periods.
All purchases of Plan Shares will be made from the Company. Mr. Narayanan will not provide other instruction or guidance to ClearOne with respect to any purchases. The Company has been provided with a copy of the Plan.
All purchases under the Plan will be reported by Mr. Narayanan through individual Form 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Mr. Narayanan will cease all purchases under the Plan, and will instruct the Company to cease all purchases, promptly upon notice from the CEO of ClearOne that the independent directors of the Company’s Board of Directors have determined that purchases under the Plan must be suspended for the period determined by those directors.
The Plan is intended to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act and this Plan shall be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c).
Notwithstanding this Plan, Mr. Narayanan may sell or purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (other than Plan Shares) pursuant to the Company’s insider trading policy and subject to the terms and conditions included this Plan, and such sales or purchases shall not be subject to this Plan.
