(e) Approval of the Orbital ATK, Inc. Executive Officer Incentive Plan
On May 4, 2016, Orbital ATK, Inc. (“Orbital ATK” or the “Company”) held its 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, at which the Company’s stockholders approved the Orbital ATK, Inc. Executive Officer Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”). The Incentive Plan had previously been approved by the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of Orbital ATK’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”) in February 2016, subject to stockholder approval. The Incentive Plan is designed to
• | provide cash incentive compensation to Orbital ATK’s executive officers in accordance with Orbital ATK’s performance-based compensation principles by directly relating awards payable under the Incentive Plan to Company, business unit and/or individual performance; and |
• | ensure that payments of cash incentive compensation will be fully deductible by Orbital ATK under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. |
The Committee administers the Incentive Plan and determines the performance goals for each performance period, according to the terms of the Incentive Plan. Participation in the Incentive Plan is limited to Orbital ATK’s executive officers. A participant who is a “Covered Employee,” as defined in Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, may not receive more than $5,000,000 under the Incentive Plan in any fiscal year. No awards may be granted under the Incentive Plan after May 4, 2021, which is five years after Orbital ATK’s stockholders approved the Incentive Plan.
This description of the Incentive Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Incentive Plan, which is attached to this report as Exhibit 10.1 and is hereby incorporated by reference.
Item 5.03. Amendments to Article of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On May 3, 2016, the Board of Directors of Orbital ATK approved an amendment and restatement of Orbital ATK’s Bylaws. The primary purpose of the amendments to the Bylaws is to eliminate certain corporate governance requirements that are no longer applicable following the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders on May 4, 2016 (the “2016 Annual Meeting”). The deleted provisions had been mandated by the Transaction Agreement relating to the merger of the Company and Orbital Sciences Corporation.
The amendments to the Bylaws also include immaterial edits and a minor technical change requiring that a director’s notice of resignation be submitted to both the Chairman of the Board and the Secretary of the Company.
The foregoing description of the amended and restated bylaws of Orbital ATK does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, reference to the full text of the amended and restated bylaws, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

The stockholders voted upon the following proposals: (1) election of 15 directors, (2) advisory vote to approve executive compensation, (3) approval of the Orbital ATK, Inc. Executive Officer Incentive Plan, (3) approval of the Orbital ATK, Inc. 2016 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and (5) ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016.
