As of April 29, 2015, SciQuest, Inc. (the “Company”) established a Change of Control Severance Plan (the “Plan”).  The Plan supersedes the prior Change of Control Severance Plan previously established by the Company, which was to expire by its terms as of May 24, 2015, and such prior Change of Control Severance Plan is terminated as of the effective date of the Plan.

Stephen J. Wiehe, our Chief Executive Officer, Rudy C. Howard, our Chief Financial Officer, and Grant W. Collingsworth, our General Counsel and Vice President of Corporate Development, are participants in the Plan. The Plan provides that if a participant’s employment is terminated either by the Company without “cause” within 24 months following a change of control or by the participant with “good reason” within 12 months following a change of control, then such participant will be entitled to receive certain benefits, including a cash severance payment and accelerated vesting of equity awards. The cash severance payment will be a lump-sum payment equal to (i) the participant’s then current base salary and target bonus multiplied by 1.5, in the case of Mr. Wiehe, (ii) the participant’s then current base salary and target bonus in the case of Mr. Howard, and (iii) the participant’s then current base salary in the case of Mr. Collingsworth. Each participant’s outstanding and unvested equity awards (other than performance-based restricted stock units) will become fully vested automatically upon a qualified termination (as described above), provided that such equity awards will become fully vested upon a change of control if the agreements effectuating the change of control do not provide for the assumption or substitution of such equity awards. The terms “cause,” “good reason” and “change of control” are each defined in the Plan. The Plan has a three-year term from its effective date.

The Company held its 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on April 29, 2015.  Three proposals were voted upon at the annual meeting. The proposals are described in detail in the Company’s proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2015.  All of the proposals passed. The final results for the votes regarding each proposal are set forth below.

Proposal One: Election of two directors for three-year terms expiring in 2018:

Proposal Two: Approval of an advisory resolution regarding the compensation of the named executive officers as disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement:

Proposal Three:  Ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014:
