Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers and holders of more than 10% of our ordinary shares to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our ordinary shares. Prior to January 1, 2014, as a “foreign private issuer,” our directors, executive officers and holders of more than 10% of our ordinary shares were exempt from the reporting and “short-swing” profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and related rules with respect to their purchase and sales of our securities. As of June 30, 2013, we determined that we no longer qualified as a foreign private issuer, which means that, as of January 1, 2014, we were required to comply with all of the periodic disclosure and current reporting requirements of the Exchange Act applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, including the provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. To our knowledge, based solely on a review of copies of the initial reports of beneficial ownership and reports of changes in beneficial ownership that are required to be filed with the SEC by our directors, executive officers and holders of more than 10% of our ordinary shares and on written representations that no other reports were required, we believe that for the year ended December 31, 2015, all required reports were filed on a timely basis under Section 16(a), except for two late Form 4 filings for Mr. Travers, each reporting 1 transaction, and one late Form 4 filing for each of Messrs. De Palma, Lifshatz and Reynolds, each reporting 1 transaction.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We have adopted a “code of ethics,” as defined by regulations promulgated under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, which we refer to as our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and which applies to all of our employees, officers and directors, including those officers responsible for financial reporting. A current copy of our code of business conduct and ethics is available in the corporate governance section of our website at http://ir.fleetmatics.com. A copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics may also be obtained, free of charge, upon a request directed to: Fleetmatics Group PLC, 1100 Winter Street, Suite 4600, Waltham, MA 02451, Attention: General Counsel. We intend to disclose any amendments to the code, or any waivers of its requirements, on our website.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

The Board has adopted corporate governance guidelines to assist and guide its members in the exercise of its responsibilities. These guidelines should be interpreted in accordance with any requirements imposed by applicable federal or state law or regulation, the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and our memorandum and articles of incorporation. Our corporate governance guidelines are available in the corporate governance section of our website at http://ir.fleetmatics.com. Although these corporate governance guidelines have been approved by the Board, it is expected that these guidelines will evolve over time as customary practice and legal requirements change. In particular, guidelines that encompass legal, regulatory or exchange requirements as they currently exist will be deemed to be modified as and to the extent that such legal, regulatory or exchange requirements are modified. In addition, the guidelines may also be amended by the Board at any time as it deems appropriate.

Board and Committee Meetings

The Board meets on a regularly scheduled basis during the year to review significant developments affecting us and to act on matters requiring their approval. It also holds special meetings when important matters require action between scheduled meetings. Members of senior management regularly attend meetings to report on and discuss their areas of responsibility. During 2015, the Board held five meetings and acted by unanimous written consent on four occasions. The Board has three standing committees:

 

    the Audit Committee, which held five meetings in 2015;

 

    the Compensation Committee, which held six meetings in 2015; and

 

    the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, which held three meetings in 2015.

Each of the incumbent directors of the Board attended at least 95% of the aggregate of all meetings of the Board and all meetings of committees of our Board upon which they served (during the periods that they served) during 2015. The Board regularly holds executive sessions of the independent directors. Executive sessions do not include employee directors or directors who do not qualify as independent under NYSE and SEC rules.

Annual Meeting Attendance

It is our policy that members of our Board are encouraged to attend annual meetings of our shareholders.

Committees

Our bylaws provide that the Board may delegate responsibility to committees. The Board has also adopted a written charter for each of the three standing committees. Each committee charter is available in the corporate governance section of our website at http://ir.fleetmatics.com.

There were no material changes in the procedures by which holders of our ordinary shares may recommend nominees to our Board in 2015.

The Board’s Oversight of Risk Management

The Board is involved in the oversight of risks that could affect us. Our Board believes that, in light of the interrelated nature of the Company’s risks, oversight of risk management is ultimately the responsibility of the full Board; however, this oversight is conducted primarily through the Audit Committee which on behalf of the Board is charged with overseeing the principal risk exposures we face and our mitigation efforts in respect of these risks. The Audit Committee is responsible for interfacing with management and discussing with management the Company’s principal risk exposures and steps management has taken to monitor and control risk exposures, including risk assessment and risk management policies. The Compensation Committee also plays a role, as it is charged with overseeing our overall compensation structure and with assessing whether that compensation structure creates risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

This section explains how our executive compensation programs are designed and operate with respect to our named executive officers listed in the Summary Compensation Table below. Our named executive officers in 2015 were James M. Travers, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board; Stephen Lifshatz, Chief Financial Officer; Kathleen Finato, Chief Marketing Officer; Andrew M. Reynolds, Senior Vice President, Global Business Development; and Jill Ward, President and Chief Operating Officer.

Executive Summary

Our compensation strategy is designed to attract and retain high-caliber executive officers and employees and to align their compensation with our objectives and shareholder interests. Our goal is to provide a competitive total compensation package and to share our success with our named executive officers, as well as our other employees, when our objectives are met.

Table of Contents

Compensation for our named executive officers consists of the elements identified in the following table.

 

Compensation Element

  

Objective

Base salary    To attract and retain employees and to recognize ongoing performance of job responsibilities
Annual performance-based cash compensation    To re-emphasize corporate objectives and provide additional reward opportunities for our named executive officers (and employees generally) when key business objectives are met
Long-term equity incentive compensation    To reward increases in shareholder value and to emphasize and reinforce our focus on team success as well as to establish stability and retention among our most critical positions
Severance and change in control benefits    To provide income protection in the event of involuntary loss of employment and to focus named executive officers on shareholder interests when considering strategic alternatives
Retirement savings (401(k) plan)    To provide retirement savings in a tax-efficient manner
Health and welfare benefits    To provide a basic level of protection from health, dental, life and disability risks

Each of the elements of our executive compensation program is discussed in more detail below. Our compensation elements are designed to be flexible, to complement each other, and to serve the compensation objectives described above. We have not adopted any formal or informal practices or guidelines for allocating compensation between fixed and variable compensation, cash and equity incentive awards, or short-term and long-term compensation. Our mix of compensation elements is designed to reward recent results and motivate long-term performance through a combination of short-term cash and long-term equity incentive awards.

Determining Executive Compensation

Our Chief Executive Officer reviews the performance of each named executive officer other than himself and, based on this review and the factors described below, makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee with respect to each named executive officer’s total compensation package. The Compensation Committee then makes the final determination with regard to the total compensation package for our named executive officers, including our Chief Executive Officer.

For 2015, our Board used a study that Compensia, Inc. (“Compensia”) an independent compensation consultant, conducted during 2014 and 2015 to help evaluate the total compensation packages for our named executive officers. Compensia analyzed publicly available data obtained from the Company’s peer companies in addition to data obtained from Radford’s Broad High Technology Survey for companies ranging from $200 million to $500 million in revenue. The companies that Compensia analyzed for its 2014-2015 study included the following 15 publicly-traded U.S.-based SaaS companies, which we consider our primary peer group:

 

Constant Contact   LivePerson   Rally Software Development   SPS Commerce
Cornerstone on Demand   LogMeIn   RealPage   Tangoe
Demandware   Netsuite   SciQuest   Ultimate Software Group
IntraLinks Holdings   Qualys   ServiceNow  

The general criteria for selecting our peer companies included industry, revenue, revenue growth, market capitalization, and market capitalization to revenue. We also selected peer group companies that operate in the internet/software space, with a preference for those with a vertical market and/or Software-as-a-Service, or SaaS, focus. These companies also represent the type of companies with which we compete for executive talent. The peer group was updated in October 2014 for compensation studies we conducted in February 2015 with respect to our Board compensation and executives’ compensation. We will evaluate and adjust our peer group, if appropriate, in conducting future compensation studies.

Results of 2015 “Say-on-Pay” Vote

At our 2015 annual shareholders meeting, our shareholders voted in favor of approval of an advisory resolution regarding our compensation program for our named executive officers (the “Say-on-Pay” vote) and in favor of holding an

Table of Contents

advisory vote on executive compensation (the “Say-on-Frequency” vote) every year. In 2015, approximately 99.61% of the votes cast by our shareholders were in support of the 2014 compensation of our named executive officers, and 99.89% of the votes cast by our shareholders favored holding the say-on-pay vote every year. While the Say-on-Pay and Say-on-Frequency votes are non-binding, the Compensation Committee and our Board of Directors carefully considers the results. Given the strong level of support evidenced by last year’s Say-on-Pay vote, the Compensation Committee determined that our shareholders were generally supportive of our executive compensation program and overall philosophy and concluded that no significant changes to our compensation program were necessary at this time. We have also adopted the recommendation of our shareholders on the Say-on-Frequency vote and intend to hold annual Say-on-Pay votes at least until we hold our next Say-on-Frequency vote. We continue to monitor our executive compensation program to ensure that it continues to align the compensation of our executive officers with the interests of our shareholders.

Elements of Compensation

Base Salaries

Base salaries for our named executive officers were established initially through arms-length negotiations at the time the individual was hired, taking into account available external compensation data and internal pay equity considerations, as well as the individual’s qualifications and experience. Base salaries of our named executive officers are reviewed by our Chief Executive Officer and our Senior Vice President of Human Resources and approved annually by our Compensation Committee. Adjustments to base salaries for our named executive officers are based on an individual’s performance, promotions, as well as available external compensation surveys and internal pay equity considerations. In making decisions regarding salary adjustments for our named executive officers, our Compensation Committee also draws upon the experience that members of our Board have within our industry. We do not assign a specific weight to any single factor in making decisions regarding base salary adjustments.

For 2015, our Compensation Committee sought to set base salaries for our named executive officers at levels that would result in total cash compensation that is generally at or near the 75th percentile of our peer group. The Compensation Committee also considered the base compensation of executives at similar companies that we compete with for talent. In 2015, the Compensation Committee approved a base salary increase for Messrs. Travers and Lifshatz, Ms. Finato and Mr. Reynolds to make their total cash compensation more in line with the 75th percentile of the market. These increases were effective April 1, 2015.

The following table sets forth the rate of base salary for our named executive officers for fiscal 2015 and 2014 as well as the percentage increase from 2014 to 2015:

Annual Performance-Based Cash Compensation

Bonus Plan. In 2015, our named executive officers participated in our Senior Executive Cash Incentive Bonus Plan (the “Bonus Plan”). The Bonus Plan provides for the opportunity to earn a cash bonus based upon a combination of corporate performance goals and individual performance objectives established by our Compensation Committee.

Under our Bonus Plan, our Compensation Committee may establish corporate performance goals related to our or any of our subsidiaries’ financial and operational metrics, including the following: revenues; expense levels; cash flow (including, but not limited to, operating cash flow and free cash flow); business development and financing milestones; earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; net income (loss) (either before or after interest, taxes, depreciation and/or amortization); changes in the market price of the Company’s ordinary shares; economic value-added; sales or revenue; acquisitions or strategic transactions; operating income (loss); return on capital, assets, equity, or investment; shareholder returns; return on sales; gross or net profit levels; productivity; expense; margins; operating efficiency; customer satisfaction; working capital; earnings (loss) per share of the Company’s ordinary shares; sales or market shares and number of customers, any of which may be measured in absolute terms, as compared to any incremental increase, or as compared to results of a peer group. Our Compensation Committee may also apportion the target award so that a portion of it is tied to attainment of individual performance objectives. The Compensation Committee may also award discretionary bonus to our executive officers under the Bonus Plan.

Table of Contents

Each executive officer who is selected to participate in the Bonus Plan has a target bonus opportunity set for a performance period established by the Compensation Committee. For 2015, the performance period was fiscal year 2015. The bonus formulas are adopted at the beginning of each performance period by the Compensation Committee and communicated to each executive. The corporate performance goals are measured at the end of each performance period by our Compensation Committee. If the corporate performance goals and any applicable individual performance objectives are met, payments are made as soon as practicable following the end of the performance period. Subject to the rights contained in any agreement between the executive officer and the Company, under the Bonus Plan an executive officer must be employed by the Company on the last day of the performance period to be eligible to receive a bonus payment.

All of our named executive officers participated in the Bonus Plan in 2015. The corporate performance goals our Compensation Committee used to establish bonus targets for the named executive officers for 2015 were Adjusted EBITDA and revenue, expense savings, and net fleet management subscriptions. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before income taxes, interest income (expense), foreign currency transaction (gain) loss, depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, amortization of capitalized in-vehicle devices owned by customers, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation, acquisition-related transaction costs, certain non-recurring litigation and settlement costs, contingent consideration expense, and loss on extinguishment of debt. The Compensation Committee determined the targets for each of these corporate performance goals in consultation with management, based on budgeted figures under our 2015 budget and financial plan. The Compensation Committee established corporate performance goals it believed were necessary to provide a competitive compensation package in light of each named executive officer’s base salary and to motivate our executives to achieve a high level of growth. For all our named executive officers other than Mr. Travers, a portion of the bonus was also based upon the achievement of individual performance objectives related to expense management and performance within their individual areas of responsibility. Each named executive officer was required to achieve over 85% of each corporate performance goal assigned to him or her in order for a bonus to be paid to the executive with respect to that goal. From over 85% to 100% of achievement of each corporate performance goal, a portion of the bonus was earned based upon a straight-line interpolation—up to 100% with an opportunity to earn an additional 2% for every 1% achieved over 100%. There is no maximum bonus for 2015.

Target Bonuses. As with our base salaries, the target annual cash incentive bonus opportunities (generally expressed as a percentage of base salary) for our named executive officers were established initially through arms-length negotiations at the time the individual was hired, taking into account any available external compensation data and internal pay equity considerations, as well as the individual’s qualifications and experience. Adjustments to annual incentive compensation targets are based upon the individual’s performance, as well as available external compensation market data and internal pay equity considerations. Along with base salaries, annual incentive compensation targets for named executive officers are reviewed and approved annually by the Compensation Committee. In making decisions regarding adjustments to annual incentive compensation targets, our Compensation Committee also draws upon the experience that members of our Board have within our industry.

We do not assign a specific weight to any single factor in making decisions regarding adjustments to annual incentive compensation targets. For 2015, our Compensation Committee sought to set annual incentive compensation targets for our named executive officers at levels that would result in total cash compensation that is generally at or near the 75th percentile of our peer group. The Compensation Committee also considered the incentive compensation for executives at similar companies with which we compete for executive talent. In April 2015, the Compensation Committee approved annual incentive targets for each of our named executive officers and, in doing so, sought to make their total cash compensation competitive with those of similarly situated executives in our peer group or similar companies. These incentive targets were also based on the individual’s overall performance and the growth of our Company.

The following table sets forth the annual incentive compensation targets for our named executive officers under our Bonus Plan for fiscal 2015 and 2014 as well as the percentage change from 2014 to 2015:

Achievement of the individual corporate performance goals in 2015 under the Bonus Plan was based on performance for the fiscal year 2015 and the results measured as of December 31, 2015 (see table below). These performance objectives should not be interpreted as a prediction of how we will perform in future periods. As described above, the purpose of these objectives was to establish a method for determining the payment of performance based cash compensation. You are cautioned not to rely on these performance goals as a prediction of future performance.

(1) Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA bonus objective targets do not include any M&A activity.

Mr. Travers’ bonus for 2015 was based 50% on Adjusted EBITDA and 50% on revenue.

Mr. Lifshatz’ bonus for 2015 was based 45% on Adjusted EBITDA, 45% on revenue, and 10% on individual performance objectives. The Compensation Committee determined to award Mr. Lifshatz an additional discretionary bonus of $50,000 based on improvements in expenses.

Ms. Finato’s bonus for 2015 was based 45% on revenue, 45% on Net Fleet Management subscriptions and Net Field Services subscriptions obtained from tier 1-3 leads, and 10% on individual performance objectives. Tier 1-3 leads represent a portion of the total marketing leads used to drive net new business.

Mr. Reynolds’ bonus for 2015 was based 45% on Adjusted EBITDA, 45% on revenue, and 10% on individual performance objectives.

Ms. Ward’s bonus for 2015 was $306,850, which was a contractually guaranteed amount for 2015 pursuant to the terms of her employment agreement with the Company.

Following the end of each year, or such other appropriate time as the Compensation Committee determines, the Compensation Committee reviews our actual results against the performance objectives and determines the amount of bonus to be paid under the Bonus Plan as a whole. In 2015, the Company achieved 96.8% of its Revenue performance goal, 104.0% of its Adjusted EBITDA performance goal, 93.1% of its Net Fleet Management subscriptions obtained from tier 1 – 3 marketing leads performance goal and 65.2% of its Net Field Services subscriptions obtained from tier 1 – 3 marketing leads performance goal. These numbers do not reflect the Company’s total net subscriptions for 2015. Based on achievement of the corporate performance goals and, if applicable, their respective individual performance goals, the Compensation Committee determined that each of the named executive officers earned the following performance bonuses in 2015: Mr. Travers earned $235,895 based upon achievement of the Company’s revenue target and $315,540 based upon achievement of the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA target; Mr. Lifshatz earned $88,461 based upon achievement of the Company’s revenue target, $118,327 based upon achievement of the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA target, and $25,000 for achievement of his individual performance objectives; Ms. Finato earned $60,507 based upon achievement of the Company’s revenue target, $34,946 based upon achievement of the Net Fleet Management subscriptions and Net Field Services subscriptions obtained from tier 1-3 leads targets, and $17,100 for achievement of her individual performance objectives; Mr. Reynolds earned $58,384 based upon achievement of the Company’s revenue target, $77,840 based upon achievement of the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA target, and $16,500 for achievement of his individual performance objectives. Ms. Ward’s bonus of $306,850 was guaranteed for 2015, based on the terms of her employment agreement. In addition, the Compensation Committee determined to award a discretionary bonus of $50,000 to Mr. Lifshatz for achievement of expense improvements.

Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation

Our named executive officers are eligible to receive long-term equity-based incentive awards, which are intended to align the interests of our named executive officers with the interests of our shareholders, to encourage the retention of our

employees and executive officers, and to emphasize and reinforce our focus on team success. Prior to our initial public offering, we offered our executives and key employees stock options, subject to vesting based on continued employment. Since our initial public offering, our long-term equity-based incentive compensation awards have been made in the form of restricted stock units subject to vesting based on continued employment or performance-based restricted stock units, which vest based on the achievement of specified performance metrics and based on continued employment. We believe that stock options and restricted stock units, including performance-based restricted stock units, are effective tools for meeting our compensation goal of increasing long-term shareholder value. Because the value of restricted stock units is based on the price of our ordinary shares when the restricted stock units vest, we believe that restricted stock units provide meaningful incentives to employees to achieve increases in the value of our stock over time, and because performance-based restricted stock units reward the executive for achievement of Company-wide and individual performance goals, performance-based restricted stock units provide incentives to increase the value of our stock over the specified measurement period, and the time-based vesting encourages the retention of the executive who has achieved the performance metric applicable to the restricted stock unit award.

All equity awards granted to our named executive officers are approved by the Compensation Committee. Each named executive officer received an initial grant of stock options and/or restricted stock units in connection with the commencement of his or her employment. Our named executive officers and other key employees are also eligible to receive additional grants or awards from time to time. In determining the size of an award to a named executive officer, the Compensation Committee takes into account each named executive officer’s individual performance, the Company’s financial performance, internal pay equity considerations, and the value of existing long-term awards held by the named executive officer. The Compensation Committee may also perform a subjective, qualitative review of the each named executive officer’s contribution to the success of the business. Although we do not have a set program for the award of these additional grants or awards, the Compensation Committee generally considers long-term equity incentive awards for our named executive officers on an annual basis. Our Compensation Committee retains discretion to make equity awards to employees at any time. In an effort to understand and consider best practices, the Compensation Committee has sought information regarding the details of equity based programs from peer and other companies through Compensia, our independent compensation consultant.

Restricted stock unit and performance-based restricted stock unit awards to our named executive officers typically vest over four years, with 25% vesting on the first anniversary of the vesting start date, and the remainder vesting quarterly or annually over the remaining three years. Performance-based restricted stock units are subject to the same vesting schedules, for that portion of the award which is earned based on the performance targets set forth in the grant agreement governing the award. We believe that time-based vesting schedules encourage long-term employment with our Company, while allowing our executives to realize compensation in line with the value they achieve for our shareholders.

In April 2015, Mr. Travers was awarded 53,917 restricted stock units and 53,917 performance-based restricted stock units. In February 2015, Mr. Lifshatz was awarded 35,000 restricted stock units and 35,000 performance-based restricted stock units, Ms. Finato was awarded 15,000 restricted stock units and 15,000 performance-based restricted stock units, and Mr. Reynolds was awarded 12,500 restricted stock units and 12,500 performance-based restricted stock units. These awards were each granted in recognition of the named executive officers’ critical role and contribution to our Company. In April 2015, Ms. Ward was awarded 75,000 restricted stock units and 75,000 performance-based restricted stock units in connection with the commencement of her employment with us. Each of the restricted stock units awards vests over four years, with 25% vesting on the one-year anniversary of the vesting commencement date and the remainder vesting in three equal annual installments thereafter. Each performance-based restricted stock unit award is subject to the achievement of at least 85% of Company performance targets and vesting over four years, with 25% of the earned portion of the award vesting on the first anniversary of the vesting start date, and the remainder vesting in three equal annual installments thereafter. The criteria for attainment of performance-based restricted stock units for each named executive officer is 50% based on Adjusted EBITDA and 50% based on revenue. For 2015, each named executive officer must achieve at least 85% of the applicable performance target in order to earn any performance-based restricted stock units with respect to that goal. For achievement of the performance goals at between 85% to 90% of target, the named executive officer earns up to 25% of the target performance-based restricted stock units assigned to that goal based on a straight-line interpolation between 85% and 90%, for achievement of the performance goals at between 90% and 95% achievement target, the named executive officer will earn up to an additional 70% of the target performance-based restricted stock units assigned to that goal based on a straight-line interpolation between 90% and 95%, and for achievement of the performance goals at between 95% and 100% of target, the named executive officer will earn up to an additional 5% of the target performance-based restricted stock awards assigned to that goal based on a straight-line interpolation between 95% and 100%. There is no opportunity for achievement of performance-based restricted stock units above 100% of the granted amount.

Severance and Change in Control Benefits

We have entered into employment agreements with each of our named executive officers. Our employment agreements with our named executive officers contain provisions for severance benefits upon the termination of employment by the Company other than for cause or by the employee for good reason, including for termination following a change in control. We provide these severance and change in control benefits to promote retention and to ease the consequences of an unexpected termination of employment. The arrangements are also intended to preserve morale and productivity in the face of the potentially disruptive impact of a change in control. These benefits allow our named executive officers to focus on the value of strategic initiatives to shareholders without concern for their own continued employment, as each of their offices is at heightened risk of turnover in the event of a change in control.

Please refer to the discussion below under “—Employment Agreements; Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control” for a more detailed discussion of our severance and change in control benefits.

Employee Benefits

Our named executive officers are eligible for the same benefits offered to our employees generally. These include participation in a tax-qualified 401(k) plan with a matching contribution feature and group health, dental, life and disability insurance plans. The type and extent of benefits offered are intended to be competitive within our industry.

Pension Benefits

We do not offer any defined benefit pension plans.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

We do not offer any nonqualified deferred compensation plans.

Other Compensation Practices and Policies

Perquisites and Personal Benefits. As noted above, our named executive officers are eligible for the same benefits as those offered to full-time employees in the country in which such executive is employed. In 2015, the Company paid the entire group health, dental, and vision insurance plan premiums for Messrs. Travers, Lifshatz and Reynolds. The Company discontinued this practice in 2016.

Equity Award Grant Policy. We have an equity award grant policy that formalizes our process for granting equity-based awards to our executive officers and other employees. Under our equity award grant policy, all awards must be approved by our Board of Directors or Compensation Committee (subject to the delegation process described below). The number of shares for all restricted stock unit awards that are denominated in dollars is calculated based on the closing market price on the grant date. Stock options are granted with an exercise price that is not less than the fair market value of our shares, calculated based on the closing market price on the grant date. Awards generally are considered at the regular meetings of the Compensation Committee, except for awards for which the Compensation Committee has delegated approval authority to our Chief Executive Officer as described below.

Our Compensation Committee has delegated authority to our Chief Executive Officer to make equity awards to individuals eligible to receive awards in accordance with our Amended and Restated 2011 Stock Option and Incentive Plan, or 2011 Plan, other than to our executive officers, vice presidents and other employees who are subject to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Such equity awards may be granted no more than once per month and are limited to 1,250,000 shares per year in the aggregate and 10,000 shares per grant. All equity awards in excess of such limitations, and any changes to equity awards previously made by our CEO, require the approval of our Compensation Committee or Board of Directors.

Insider Trading Policy. Our executive officers, employees and directors are subject to our insider trading policy. Under this policy, all of our executive officers, directors and insider employees are prohibited from engaging in transactions in our ordinary shares except during an open trading window, unless pursuant to a 10b5-1 trading plan approved by the Company’s compliance officer. Except for trades made pursuant to a 10b5-1 trading plan, our executive officers, directors and insider employees are required to clear their trades in advance with the Company’s compliance officer.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. We follow Financial Accounting Standard Board, Accounting Standards Codification 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”), for our stock-based compensation awards to employees. ASC 718 requires companies to measure the compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock unit awards, based on the grant date “fair value” of these awards. This calculation is performed for accounting purposes and reported in the compensation tables below, even though our executive officers may never realize any value from these awards. ASC 718 also requires companies to recognize the compensation cost of their stock-based compensation awards in their statements of operations over the period that an executive officer is required to render service in exchange for the option or other award. Our compensation may consider the impact of ASC 718 when granting equity-based awards.

Employment Agreements; Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control

Pursuant to employment agreements entered into with each of our named executive officers at the start of their employment with the Company and as amended, upon a change of control of our Company, each is entitled to certain severance and change of control benefits as follows:

James M. Travers. Mr. Travers currently receives a base salary of $600,000 which is subject to annual review and upward adjustment at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. Mr. Travers is also eligible for an annual performance bonus of up to 100% of his base salary (at target performance).

We entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Travers with an effective date as of January 1, 2013 and a term ending January 1, 2015. On April 17, 2015 we entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Travers which contained substantially the same terms as the prior employment agreement, except that the new agreement is for an indefinite term. Mr. Travers’ employment agreement provides that if, prior to a change of control (as defined in the employment agreement) or after six months following a change of control, his employment is terminated without cause (as defined in the employment agreement) or he resigns his employment with us for good reason (as defined in the employment agreement), Mr. Travers will be entitled to severance pay at a rate equal to his base salary rate, as then in effect, for a period of 12 months from the date of such termination, which we refer to as the severance period, as well as a pro-rated annual bonus for the year in which the termination occurs based on achievement of the applicable corporate and personal performance metrics as of his termination date. His severance also includes payment of the employer portion of the premiums for health, dental and vision coverage for Mr. Travers during the severance period to the same extent as if he had remained employed through the severance period. If, within six months following a change of control, we terminate Mr. Travers’ employment with us without cause or Mr. Travers resigns from such employment for good reason, he will be entitled to (i) a lump sum payment equal to his annual base salary at the level in effect immediately prior to his termination date over the severance period plus a pro-rated portion of his annual target bonus based on achievement of then applicable corporate and personal performance metrics as of his termination date, (ii) accelerated vesting of 100% of his outstanding equity awards and (iii) a cash payment equal to the number of months in the severance period multiplied by the amount of the monthly employer contribution that the Company would have made to provide Mr. Travers with health, dental and vision insurance during the severance period. In the event that Mr. Travers’ employment terminates due to his death or disability, he is entitled to accelerated vesting of the number of shares underlying his equity awards that would have vested had he remained employed through the one-year anniversary of the termination date. Payment of this severance and receipt of these benefits are conditioned upon execution and effectiveness of a release agreement in favor of the Company and related persons and Mr. Travers’ compliance with the terms of his Non-Competition Agreement. If Mr. Travers voluntarily terminates his employment with us (except for resignation for good reason) or we terminate his employment with us for cause, then all vesting will terminate immediately with respect to Mr. Travers’ outstanding equity awards and all compensation payments by us to Mr. Travers under the employment agreement will terminate immediately (except as to amounts already earned).

Stephen Lifshatz. Mr. Lifshatz currently receives a base salary of $380,727 which is subject to review and adjustment by us. Mr. Lifshatz is also eligible for an annual performance bonus of up to $250,000 (at target performance). Mr. Lifshatz’ employment agreement provides that if, prior to or absent a change of control (as defined in the employment agreement), we terminate his employment without cause (as defined in the employment agreement) or Mr. Lifshatz resigns his employment with us for good reason (as defined in the employment agreement), he will be entitled to severance pay at a rate equal to his base salary rate, as then in effect, for 12 months from the date of such termination and Company-paid coverage for Mr. Lifshatz and his eligible dependents under the applicable benefits plans for 12 months following such termination. Upon a change of control, 50% of any outstanding stock options not yet vested shall become immediately vested. If, within six months of a change of control, we terminate Mr. Lifshatz’ employment with us without cause or Mr. Lifshatz resigns from such employment for good reason, he will be entitled to severance pay at a rate equal to his base salary rate, as then in effect, for 12 months and Company-paid coverage for Mr. Lifshatz and his eligible dependents under the applicable benefit plans for 12 months following such termination and 100% of any outstanding stock options not yet vested shall become immediately vested upon Mr. Lifshatz’ date of termination or resignation. Payment of this severance and receipt of these benefits are conditioned upon Mr. Lifshatz’ compliance with the terms of his Non-Competition Agreement. If Mr. Lifshatz voluntarily terminates his employment with us (except upon resignation for good reason) or we terminate his employment with us for cause, Mr. Lifshatz will only be eligible for severance benefits in accordance with our established policies, if any, then in effect and all vesting will terminate immediately with respect to his outstanding options not yet vested and all compensation

payments by us to Mr. Lifshatz under the employment agreement will terminate immediately (except as to amounts already earned). If Mr. Lifshatz’ employment with us terminates due to his death or disability, Mr. Lifshatz will only be eligible for severance benefits in accordance with our established policies, if any, then in effect and all compensation payments by us to Mr. Lifshatz under his employment agreement will terminate immediately (except as to amounts already earned) and, in addition to the number of shares of stock options that have vested as of the date of such termination, a number of shares of stock options will vest equal to the number of shares of stock options that would have otherwise vested if Mr. Lifshatz had remained employed with us through the anniversary of the effective date of his employment agreement that immediately follows the date of such termination.

Kathleen Finato. Ms. Finato currently receives a base salary of $285,000 which is subject to review and adjustment by us. Ms. Finato is also eligible for an annual performance bonus of $171,000 (at target performance).

Ms. Finato’s employment agreement provides that if, prior to or absent a change of control (as defined in the employment agreement), we terminate her employment without cause (as defined in the employment agreement) or Ms. Finato resigns her employment with us for good reason (as defined in the employment agreement), she will be entitled to severance pay at a rate equal to her base salary rate, as then in effect, for six months from the date of such termination and the Company will continue to pay the employer contribution toward Ms. Finato’s and her eligible dependents’ participation in the applicable benefits plans for a period of six months following such termination. If, within six months of a change of control, we terminate Ms. Finato’s employment with us without cause or Ms. Finato resigns from such employment for good reason, she will be entitled to severance pay at a rate equal to her base salary rate, as then in effect, for six months and the Company will continue to pay the employer contribution toward Ms. Finato’s and her eligible dependents’ participation in the applicable benefits plans for a period of six months following such termination and 100% of any outstanding restricted stock units not yet vested shall become immediately vested upon Ms. Finato’s date of termination or resignation. Payment of this severance and receipt of these benefits are conditioned upon Ms. Finato’s compliance with the terms of her Non-Competition Agreement. If Ms. Finato voluntarily terminates her employment with us (except upon resignation for good reason) or we terminate her employment with us for cause, Ms. Finato will only be eligible for severance benefits in accordance with our established policies, if any, then in effect and all vesting will terminate immediately with respect to her outstanding equity awards not yet vested and all compensation payments by us to Ms. Finato under the employment agreement will terminate immediately (except as to amounts already earned). If Ms. Finato’s employment with us terminates due to her death or disability, Ms. Finato will only be eligible for severance benefits in accordance with our established policies, if any, then in effect and all compensation payments by us to Ms. Finato under her employment agreement will terminate immediately (except as to amounts already earned) and, in addition to the number of shares that have vested as of the date of such termination, a number of shares will vest equal to the number of shares that would have otherwise vested if Ms. Finato had remained employed with us for six months from the date of termination.

Andrew M. Reynolds. Mr. Reynolds currently receives a base salary of $290,102 which is subject to review and adjustment by us. Mr. Reynolds is also eligible for an annual performance bonus of $165,000 (at target performance). Mr. Reynolds’ employment agreement provides that if, prior to or absent a change of control (as defined in the employment agreement), we terminate his employment without cause (as defined in the employment agreement) or Mr. Reynolds resigns his employment with us for good reason (as defined in the employment agreement), he will be entitled to severance pay at a rate equal to his base salary rate, as then in effect, for six months from the date of such termination and Company-paid coverage for Mr. Reynolds and his eligible dependents under the applicable benefits plans for six months following such termination. If, within six months of a change of control, we terminate Mr. Reynolds’ employment with us without cause or Mr. Reynolds resigns from such employment for good reason, he will be entitled to severance pay at a rate equal to his base salary rate, as then in effect, for 12 months and Company-paid coverage for Mr. Reynolds and his eligible dependents under the applicable benefit plans for 12 months following such termination and 100% of any outstanding stock options not yet vested shall become immediately vested upon Mr. Reynolds’ date of termination or resignation. Payment of this severance and receipt of these benefits are conditioned upon Mr. Reynolds’ compliance with the terms of his Non-Competition Agreement.

Jill Ward. We entered into an employment agreement with Ms. Ward with an effective date of April 6, 2015 (her hire date). Ms. Ward currently receives a base salary of $500,000 which is subject to annual review and upward adjustment at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. Commencing in 2016, Ms. Ward is also eligible for an annual performance bonus of up to 100% of her base salary.

Ms. Ward’s employment agreement provides that if, prior to, change of control (as defined in the employment agreement) or after six months following a change of control, we terminate her employment without cause (as defined in the employment agreement) or Ms. Ward resigns her employment with us for good reason (as defined in the employment agreement and which includes failure to increase Ms. Ward’s base salary by at least 25% on or before the first anniversary of her start date), she will be entitled to severance pay at a rate equal to her base salary rate, as then in effect, for a period of 12 months from the date of such termination, which we refer to as the severance period, as well as a pro-rated annual bonus for the year in which the termination occurs based on achievement of the applicable corporate and personal performance metrics as of her termination date. Her severance also includes payment of the employer portion of the premiums for health, dental and vision coverage for Ms. Ward during the severance period to the same extent as if she had remained employed through the severance period. In addition, if the date of termination occurs prior to the one-year anniversary of the effective date of her employment agreement, 25% of any outstanding unvested equity awards shall become immediately vested on the termination date. If, within six months of a change of control, we terminate Ms. Ward’s employment with us without cause or Ms. Ward resigns from such employment for good reason, she will be entitled to (i) a lump sum payment equal to her annual base salary at the level in effect immediately prior to her termination date over the severance period plus a pro-rated portion of her annual target bonus based on achievement of then applicable corporate and personal performance metrics as of her termination date, (ii) accelerated vesting of 100% of her outstanding equity awards and (iii) a cash payment equal to the number of months in the severance period multiplied by the amount of the monthly employer contribution that the Company would have made to provide Ms. Ward with health, dental and vision insurance during the severance period. In the event that Ms. Ward’s employment terminates due to her death or disability, she is entitled to accelerated vesting of the number of shares underlying her equity awards that would have vested had she remained employed through the one-year anniversary of the termination date. Payment of this severance and receipt of these benefits are conditioned upon execution and effectiveness of a release agreement in favor of the Company and related persons and. Ms. Ward’s compliance with the terms of her Non-Competition Agreement. If Ms. Ward voluntarily terminates her employment with us (except upon resignation for good reason) or we terminate her employment with us for cause, Ms. Ward will only be eligible for severance benefits in accordance with our established policies, if any, then in effect and all vesting will terminate immediately with respect to her outstanding equity awards not yet vested and all compensation payments by us to Ms. Ward under the employment agreement will terminate immediately (except as to amounts already earned).

The information below describes certain compensation that would have become payable under existing plans and contractual arrangements assuming a triggering event had occurred on December 31, 2015, based on the closing market price of our ordinary shares on that date of $50.79 per share. There can be no assurance that an actual triggering event would produce the same or similar results as those estimated if such event occurs on any other date or at any other price, or if any other assumption used to estimate potential benefits and payments is not correct. Due to the number of factors that affect the nature and amount of any potential payments or benefits, any actual payments and benefits may be different.

Summary of Employee Benefit Plans

Share Option Plans

The Company has granted equity awards to its eligible participants under our amended and restated 2004 share option plan, or the 2004 Plan, and our amended and restated 2011 share option and incentive plan, or the 2011 Plan.

2004 Plan. Originally adopted by our Board in 2004, the 2004 Plan was amended in 2012. The 2004 Plan provides that, on a general offer to all of the holders of ordinary shares or the sanctioning by a court of a scheme for the merger or amalgamation of the Company with another company, the holders of options will have six months to exercise their options (which period may be shortened in certain circumstances). If a holder fails to exercise his options during such period, his options will terminate. Alternatively, on a change of control of the Company, options may, with the consent of the option holders, be substituted with new awards of the successor entity, on substantially identical terms. The 2004 Plan terminated in November 2014. Our 2011 Plan provides that any awards granted under the 2004 Plan that are outstanding at the time of its termination are assumed by the 2011 Plan.

2011 Plan. In 2011, our Board adopted the 2011 Plan which was approved by our shareholders in September 2011. Our shareholders approved the amended and restated 2011 share option and incentive plan in August 2013. Our 2011 Plan provides us flexibility to use various equity-based incentive and other awards as compensation tools to motivate our workforce. These tools include options, restricted stock units and cash awards. Following the closing of our initial public offering, we grant awards to eligible participants only under the 2011 Plan.

2012 Employee Share Purchase Plan

In September 2012, our Board adopted and our shareholders approved the 2012 Employee Share Purchase Plan. Employees of certain of our subsidiaries in Ireland, the United Kingdom, Australia, Italy, France, the Netherlands and the United States who we have employed for at least 30 days and whose customary employment is for more than 20 hours a week are eligible to participate in the 2012 Employee Share Purchase Plan. Any employee who owns 5% or more of the voting power or value of ordinary shares is not eligible to purchase shares under the 2012 Employee Share Purchase Plan.

401(k) Plan

The Company has a defined contribution savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. This plan covers substantially all eligible employees who meet minimum age and service requirements and allows participants to defer a portion of their annual compensation on a pre-tax basis. Company contributions to the plan may be made at the discretion of the Board. Our Board approved a 401(k) match effective for salary deferral contributions made after January 1, 2014.

Director Compensation

We adopted a non-employee compensation policy that became effective in 2012 and that was amended in 2013. In 2015, following a non-employee director compensation study conducted by Compensia, our independent compensation consultant, our Board further amended our non-employee director compensation policy to provide that, on initial election to the Board, a new director will be granted a number of restricted stock units with a fair market value on the grant date of $440,000 based on the price of shares on the New York Stock Exchange as of market close on the grant date. The initial grant vests annually over two years from the vesting start date. In addition, on the first anniversary of a director’s initial

Table of Contents

election to the Board, each director will be granted a number of restricted stock units with a fair market value on the grant date of $260,000 based on the price of shares on the New York Stock Exchange as of market close on the grant date, pro-rated to take into account the number of months until the next annual general meeting of shareholders of the Company. At each such annual general meeting, each director will be granted a number of restricted stock units with a fair market value on the grant date of the full amount of $260,000 based on the price of shares on the New York Stock Exchange as of market close on the grant date. The first anniversary grant and each subsequent anniversary grant vests in full on the first anniversary of the vesting start date. The vesting on these restricted stock unit grants will cease if the director resigns from our Board or otherwise ceases to serve as director unless the Board determines that the circumstances warrant continuation of vesting.

In addition, pursuant to our non-employee director compensation policy, directors receive cash compensation, as follows: each non-employee director receives $35,000 annually for general availability and participation in meetings and conference calls of our Board. Additionally, the Audit Committee chairperson receives $20,000 annually, each Audit Committee member receives $9,000 annually, the Compensation Committee chairperson receives $12,000 annually, each Compensation Committee member receives $5,000 annually, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee chairperson receives $8,000 annually and each Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee member receives $4,000 annually. In addition, our lead director receives $20,000 annually. All fees in cash are paid on a quarterly basis. Fees are pro-rated for quarters during which a director serves only a portion of the quarter.

The following table provides information regarding compensation paid to our non-employee directors during the year ended December 31, 2015. During the year ended December 31, 2015, one director, Mr. Travers, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, was an employee. Mr. Travers’ compensation is discussed in the section titled “Executive Compensation” and reported in the “Summary Compensation table—2015” above.

10b5-1 Plans

Our policy governing transactions in our securities by directors, officers and employees permits our directors, officers and certain other persons to enter into trading plans complying with Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

Director Independence

In accordance with the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) corporate governance listing standards, a director will qualify as “independent” if our Board affirmatively determines that he or she has no material relationship with us, either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with us. Ownership of a significant amount of our stock, by itself, does not constitute a material relationship.

At least annually, our Board will evaluate all relationships between the Company and each director in light of the relevant facts and circumstances for the purposes of determining whether a material relationship exists that might signal a potential conflict of interest or otherwise interfere with such director’s ability to satisfy his or her responsibilities as an independent director. Based on this evaluation, the Board will make an annual determination of whether each director is independent within the meaning of the NYSE, SEC and applicable committees’ independence standards.

In 2015, our Board reviewed the independence of each director. Pursuant to the corporate governance listing standards of the NYSE, a director employed by us cannot be deemed to be an “independent director” and consequently, Mr. Travers is

 

23


Table of Contents

not an independent director. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director concerning his background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, our Board determined that Ms. Mnookin and each of Messrs. De Palma, Flett, Halligan, Kelliher, Noonan and Young is “independent” within the meaning of the director independence standards of the NYSE and the SEC. Furthermore, the Board has determined that each member of each of the committees of the Board is independent within the meaning of the NYSE and SEC, and our applicable committees’ independence standards, including Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). In making that determination, the Board considered all relevant facts and circumstances, including (but not limited to) the director’s commercial, industrial, banking, consulting, legal, accounting, charitable and familial relationships. There is no family relationship among any of our directors or executive officers.

Related Party Transactions

Other than compensation agreements and other arrangements which are discussed in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis”, in 2015, there was not, and there is not currently proposed, any transaction or series of similar transactions to which we were or will be a party for which the amount involved exceeds or will exceed $120,000 and in which any director, executive officer, holder of 5% or more of our ordinary shares or any member of their immediate family had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Policies and Procedures for Related Party Transactions

Our Audit Committee has the primary responsibility for reviewing and approving or disapproving “related party transactions.” Our Audit Committee charter provides that the Audit Committee shall review and approve or disapprove any related party transactions. We have adopted a written related person transaction policy that governs the review of related party transactions. Pursuant to this policy, our Audit Committee shall review the material facts of all related party transactions. The Audit Committee shall take into account, among other factors that it deems appropriate, whether the related party transaction is on terms no less favorable to the Company than terms generally available in a transaction with an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related person’s interest in the related party transaction.

 

Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services

   $ 1,508       $ 1,607   

 

(1) The “Audit Fees” represent fees for the respective year for professional services for the audit of our annual financial statements and internal control over financial reporting, the review of financial statements included in our quarterly financial statements and audit services provided in connection with other statutory or regulatory requirements. The audit committee pre-approved 100% of the “Audit Fees” in 2015 and 2014.
(2) The “Audit-Related Fees” consist of fees for assurance and related services, including due diligence services that were reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported under “Audit Fees.” The audit committee pre-approved 100% of the “Audit-Related Fees” in 2015 and 2014.
(3) The “All Other Fees” consist of fees for products and services (other than the services disclosed under “Audit Fees,” “Audit-Related Fees” and “Tax Fees”). The audit committee pre-approved 100% of the “All Other Fees” in 2015 and 2014.

The audit committee has implemented procedures under our Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy for Audit and Non-Audit Services, which we refer to as the Pre-Approval Policy, to ensure that all audit and permitted non-audit services to be provided to the Company have been pre-approved by the audit committee. Specifically, the audit committee pre-approves the use of our independent registered public accounting firm for specific audit and non-audit services, within approved monetary limits. If a proposed service has not been pre-approved pursuant to the Pre-Approval Policy, then it must be specifically pre-approved by the audit committee before the service may be provided by our independent registered public accounting firm.

Any pre-approved services exceeding the pre-approved monetary limits require specific approval by the audit committee. All of the audit-related, tax and all other services provided to us by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP in 2015 and 2014 were approved by the audit committee by means of specific pre-approvals or pursuant to the procedures contained in the Pre-Approval Policy. All non-audit services provided in 2015 and 2014 were reviewed with the audit committee, which concluded that the provision of such services by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP was compatible with the maintenance of that firm’s independence in the conduct of its auditing functions.
