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

On April 22, 2015, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of M/A-COM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) approved grants of time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance-based RSUs and/or performance-based stock options to certain of the Company’s executive officers under the terms of the Company’s 2012 Omnibus Incentive Plan.

The time-based RSUs will vest and no longer be subject to forfeiture at the rate of 25% on each of May 15, 2016, May 15, 2017, May 15, 2018 and May 15, 2019, assuming continued employment with or services to the Company.

The performance-based RSUs are divided into three equal tranches with one tranche based on the Company’s non-GAAP earnings per share (“EPS”) growth during fiscal year 2015, one tranche based on EPS growth during fiscal years 2015-2016 and one tranche based on EPS growth during fiscal years 2015-2017. For each tranche, recipients can earn between 0% to 300% of the target number of performance-based RSUs, depending on actual performance. Once earned, the performance-based RSUs will be settled in shares of the Company’s common stock, assuming continued employment with or services to the Company.

The performance-based stock options will vest and become exercisable in full if certain pre-established revenue and non-GAAP gross margin targets are met or exceeded in any four consecutive fiscal quarters completed during the term of the awards. The stock options have a term of seven years, assuming continued employment with or services to the Company, and have an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

Also on April 22, 2015, the Compensation Committee approved an amended and restated Change in Control Plan to exclude the performance-based stock options granted on the same date from the terms thereof and to increase the percentage by which outstanding performance-based equity awards (other than those specifically excluded) will be deemed earned in the event of a change in control, from 100% of “target” to 200% of “target”.

The foregoing is a summary of the terms of the equity awards granted on April 22, 2015 and the amended and restated Change in Control Plan. The forms of award agreements for the equity awards and the amended and restated Change in Control Plan are filed herewith and are incorporated herein by reference.
