Second Amended and Restated 2011 Compensation and Incentive Plan

On July 13, 2017, the stockholders of SeaChange International, Inc. (“SeaChange”) approved an amendment to SeaChange’s Second Amended and Restated 2011 Compensation and Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2011 Plan”). By approving the 2011 Plan, the stockholders increased by 4,000,000 the number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2011 Plan and correspondingly increased the number of incentive stock options that may be authorized for issuance under the 2011 Plan.

For a description of the material features of the 2011 Plan, please refer to SeaChange’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A for the Annual Meeting of the Stockholders held on July 13, 2017 (the “Proxy Statement”), a copy of which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 26, 2017 (File No. 000-21393) and is incorporated herein by reference.

(b)    The disclosure in Item 5.07 regarding the resignation of Mr. Thomas F. Olson as a director of SeaChange, effective upon acceptance by the Board of Directors, is incorporated herein by reference.

(e)    The disclosure in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

The Annual Meeting of the Stockholders of SeaChange was held on July 13, 2017, at which the stockholders voted on the following matters:

The final voting results as certified by the independent inspector of elections, Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., for each of the proposals submitted to a vote of the stockholders at the Annual Meeting are as follows:

Mr. Olson received fewer votes “for” his election than votes “against” his election. Accordingly, in accordance with SeaChange’s Amended and Restated Corporate Governance Guidelines (the “Guidelines”), Mr. Olson tendered his resignation on July 13, 2017, with the effectiveness of such resignation being conditioned on the Board’s acceptance thereof, and the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board are currently reviewing this resignation in accordance with the Guidelines.

Consistent with the stated preference of a majority of SeaChange’s stockholders, the Board determined that it will hold an annual advisory vote on the compensation of SeaChange’s named executive officers every year until the next required vote on the frequency of stockholder votes on compensation of named executive officers, which will occur no later than SeaChange’s annual meeting of stockholders in 2023.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
