Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(e)     On February 7, 2017, the Compensation Committee (“Committee”) of the Board of Directors of SPS Commerce, Inc. (the “Company”) approved annual grants of equity awards under the terms of the Company’s 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”) to the Company’s executive officers. The annualized grant date fair value of the awards to be received by each executive officer has been allocated 25% to a stock option award, 50% to a time-vested restricted stock unit (“RSU”) award and 25% to a performance share unit (“PSU”) award. However, because the Committee anticipates granting PSU awards only once every three years to reflect the three-year performance period associated with these awards, the grant date fair value of the PSU awards currently granted is three times the annualized grant date fair value allocation to PSU awards. The terms of the stock option and RSU awards will be consistent with those of previous option and RSU awards. The terms of the PSU awards are set forth in a form of PSU award agreement (the “PSU Agreement”) approved by the Committee and filed as Exhibit 99.1 with this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Under the terms of the Plan and the PSU Agreement, an award of PSUs is expressed in terms of a target number of PSUs, with anywhere between 0% and 150% of that target number capable of being earned and vesting over the course of a three-year performance period (fiscal years 2017-2019) depending on the Company’s revenue performance each year during the performance period and the award recipient’s continued employment. The target amounts of the PSU awards made to our named executive officers are summarized below:

 

Name

   Target Number
of PSUs Granted
 

Archie Black, CEO and President

     40,394   

Kimberly Nelson, Executive Vice President and CFO

     16,763   

James Frome, Executive Vice President and COO

     16,494   

At the end of each fiscal year during the performance period, one-third of the target number of PSUs multiplied by the performance factor for that year will be earned and eligible to vest. The performance factor for each year will be 0% if the Company fails to achieve the threshold revenue goal, 50% for achievement of the threshold goal, 100% for achievement of the target goal and 150% for achievement of the maximum goal. Performance between these levels will result in a ratable number of PSUs earned and eligible to vest. In addition, during the second and third years of the performance period, each recipient will have an opportunity to “earn back” PSUs that were not earned in the previous year(s), based on the Company’s revenue achievement during the most recent year. Each vested PSU will be settled in one share of the Company’s common stock.

In connection with a change in control of the Company that occurs during the performance period, a number of PSUs will be subject to accelerated vesting at the time of the change in control equal to a pro rata portion of the target number of PSUs (1/3, 2/3 or 3/3, depending on whether the change in control occurred during the first, second or third year of the performance period) minus the number of PSUs that had already vested prior to the change in control.
