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

On January 30, 2018, Versum Materials, Inc. (the “Company”) held its Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) at which the Company’s stockholders approved the Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Amended LTIP”).   The Amended LTIP increases the number of shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company with respect to which awards may be granted under the plan by 1,500,000.  The Company’s stockholders also approved the material terms of the performance goals set forth in the Amended LTIP.  The material features of the Amended LTIP are described in the section entitled “Proposal 4 - Approval of Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan” on pages 14-25 of the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed on December 21, 2017 in connection with the Annual Meeting (the “Proxy Statement”), and amended by the Second Supplement to Proxy Statement filed on January 17, 2018, which pages, as amended, are incorporated herein by reference.  The description of the Amended LTIP is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual terms of the plan, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s stockholders also approved the Amended and Restated Short-Term Incentive Plan (the “Amended STIP”).  The Amended STIP reflects certain changes in order to conform the Amended STIP provisions to the comparable provisions of the Amended LTIP described above, including (i) changes to the performance criteria on which performance goals may be based and the adjustments to such performance criteria for such awards, (ii) an increase in the maximum permitted individual bonus in respect of any one fiscal year from $4,000,000 to $5,000,000 and (iii) certain other clarifying changes.  The Company’s stockholders also approved the material terms of the performance goals set forth in the Amended STIP.  The material terms of the Amended STIP are described in the section entitled “Proposal 5 - Approval of Amended and Restated Short-Term Incentive Plan” on pages 26-29 of the Proxy Statement, which pages are incorporated herein by reference.  The description of the Amended STIP is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual terms of the plan, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
