Adoption of the Adaptec, Inc. 2006 Director Plan
On September 14, 2006, at the 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Adaptec, Inc. (the “Company”), the Company’s stockholders approved the Adaptec, Inc. 2006 Director Plan (the “2006 Plan”) under which the Company’s non-employee directors are eligible to receive stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock units (each an “Award”). The Company’s Board of Directors approved the Plan on July 6, 2006, subject to stockholder approval at the annual meeting. The 2006 Plan contains the following material terms:
(1) Reserves 1,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for issuance under the 2006 Plan, plus shares that are available for issuance under the Adaptec, Inc. 2000 Director Plan (the “2000 Plan”), as of September 14, 2006, and any shares that are subject to issuance upon exercise of an option granted under the 2000 Plan but which cease to be subject to the option for any reason other than exercise of the option.
(2) Provides that a maximum of 600,000 shares in the aggregate may be issued as restricted stock or restricted stock units.
(3) Provides that all options granted under the 2006 Plan will be non-qualified stock options with an exercise price of 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.
(4) On a Change of Control (as defined in the 2006 Plan), the vesting and exercisability of all outstanding Awards will accelerate.
A more complete description of the 2006 Plan can be found in “Proposal No. 2 — Adoption of the Adaptec, Inc. 2006 Director Plan” in the Company’s definitive proxy statement dated July 28, 2006 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 28, 2006 (the “Proxy Statement”), which description is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.
The foregoing description of the 2006 Plan and the description incorporated by reference from the Proxy Statement are qualified in their entirety by the 2006 Plan, a copy of which is filed as Appendix A to the Proxy Statement.
Approval of Forms of Award Under the 2006 Director Plan
On August 24, 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors approved the following forms of award under the 2006 Plan (each a “Form of Award”): (1) Notice of Restricted Stock Grant and Restricted Stock Agreement, (2) Notice of Stock Option Grant and Stock Option Award Agreement, (3) Notice of Stock Appreciation Right Award and Stock Appreciation Right Award Agreement and (4) Notice of Restricted Stock Unit Award and Restricted Stock Unit Award Agreement.
