Policy and Plan Amendments
On June 14, 2016, the Company restated its broad-based severance policy for U.S. employees, which applies to terminations of employment not in connection with a change of control, to, among other things, (i) clarify the calculation of severance pay and modify the severance pay formulas applicable to certain classes of eligible employees, (ii) reflect the transfer of sponsorship of the policy to the Company and to rename the policy, and (iii) reflect certain requirements relating to confidentiality. The foregoing summary of the severance policy for U.S. employees does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the policy, which is included as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.
In addition, on June 14, 2016, the Company made certain immaterial changes to its broad-based change in control severance policy for U.S. employees and its Annual Incentive Plan. The amended and restated change in control severance policy and the amendment to the Annual Incentive Plan are included as Exhibits 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.
Compensation Arrangements
On June 14, 2016, acting upon recommendation of the Remuneration Committee, the Board approved an increase in Mr. Hendrickson’s annual base salary to $900,000 and an increase of his target bonus under the Company’s Management Incentive Bonus Plan to 115% of base salary, effective as of April 24, 2016, the date of his appointment as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. In addition, the Board approved an equity grant valued at $2,410,000 to be made to Mr. Hendrickson on June 21, 2016, which consists of performance-based restricted stock units having a value of $1,205,000, stock options having a value of $723,000, and service-based restricted stock units having a value of $482,000.

The performance-based and service-based restricted stock units cliff vest on February 26, 2019 and the stock options vest 33% on each of February 26, 2017, 2018 and 2019.
