Item 8.01

Other Events.
On September 18, 2015, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Limelight Networks, Inc. (the “Company”) approved a stock for salary program and a stock for bonus program, wherein eligible participants may elect to receive payment of his or her base salary and/or bonus in shares of the Company’s common stock beginning on January 1, 2016. The shares of common stock will be issued under the Company’s 2007 Equity Incentive Plan. Eligible program participants include the Company’s CEO and his direct reports.
The stock for salary program permits eligible participants to receive 0, 25, 50, 75, or 100% of his or her 2016 salary (including any increases that may occur during the year) in shares of the Company’s common stock. On the last trading day of each calendar month, each participant will receive the number of shares of the Company’s common stock determined by dividing (i) 1/12th of his or her enrolled salary by (ii) the trailing 30-day closing average of the Company’s common stock, rounded up to the nearest whole share. Once an election is made, it runs for the full year 2016 and is irrevocable. Participation levels may not be changed after the close of the enrollment period. Once purchased, there is no vesting period for the shares. The programs are designed to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The enrollment period for the stock for salary program recently concluded. Messrs. Robert Lento, Sajid Malhotra, and Michael DiSanto each individually elected to have 50% of their respective 2016 salaries paid in shares of the Company’s common stock.
