Item 8.01 Other Events.

On March 14, 2018, the Company filed a definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) relating to the Company’s 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Company has set April 27, 2018 as the date for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The meeting will be held at the Hyatt Regency Westlake, 880 S. Westlake Blvd., Westlake Village, CA 91361 at 8:00 a.m. local time. As previously disclosed, the record date for determining Company stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders has been fixed as the close of business on March 5, 2018.

Subject to stockholder approval, in March 2018, the Board of Directors of Xperi Corporation (the “Company”) approved the Seventh Amended and Restated 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Restated Plan”) to, among other things, provide for a share reserve of 23,542,997 shares, representing an increase of 4,350,000 shares over the share reserve under the existing Sixth Amended and Restated 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Existing Plan”). On April 17, 2018, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved an amendment to the Restated Plan (the “Amendment”), to (1) reduce the proposed share reserve increase over the share reserve under the Existing Plan from 4,350,000 shares to 3,900,000 shares, which will result in a total of 23,092,997 shares being reserved for issuance under the Restated Plan, and (2) reduce the number of shares that can be issued upon the exercise of incentive stock options under the Restated Plan to 23,092,997 shares, but with no other changes to the Restated Plan as described in the Proxy Statement. The proposed 3,900,000 share increase over the share reserve under the Existing Plan will reduce the potential dilutive impact of the Restated Plan on stockholders as compared to the originally proposed 4,350,000 share increase. The Restated Plan, as so amended, remains subject to stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

On April 18, 2018, the Company filed a Supplement to the Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A (the “Supplement”) to supplement and amend the Proxy Statement in order to add information regarding the Amendment and to revise Proposal 2 to reflect the reduced share reserve increase under the Restated Plan pursuant to the Amendment. A copy of the Supplement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

XPERI CORPORATION

SUPPLEMENT TO PROXY STATEMENT DATED MARCH 14, 2018

for the

Annual Meeting of Stockholders

To Be Held on April 27, 2018

To the Stockholders of

XPERI CORPORATION:

Purpose of Supplement

Xperi Corporation (the “Company”) is furnishing this supplement to its proxy statement in connection with the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on April 27, 2018, to provide additional information concerning Proposal 2 of the Company’s definitive proxy statement dated March 14, 2018, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Proxy Statement”).

In Proposal 2 of the Proxy Statement, the Company is seeking stockholder approval of its Seventh Amended and Restated 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Restated Plan”) to, among other things, provide for a share reserve of 23,542,997 shares, representing an increase of 4,350,000 shares over the share reserve under the existing Sixth Amended and Restated 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Existing Plan”). As described in greater detail below, the Company is supplementing the information included in Proposal 2 of the Proxy Statement to reduce the requested share reserve under the Restated Plan from 23,542,997 shares to 23,092,997 shares, which represents an increase of 3,900,000 shares over the existing share reserve under the Existing Plan.

Except as specifically stated in this supplement, the information set forth in the Proxy Statement remains unchanged. We urge you to read this supplement carefully and in its entirety together with the Proxy Statement. From and after the date of this supplement, all references to the “Proxy Statement” are to the Proxy Statement as supplemented by this supplement. This supplement is first being distributed to stockholders on or about April 18, 2018.

Only stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 5, 2018, are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting.

If you have already returned your proxy card or voted over the Internet or by telephone, you do not need to vote again unless you wish to change your vote. If you have not yet voted, please do so as soon as possible. If you have already returned your proxy card or voted over the Internet or by telephone and wish to change your vote, you may do so by following the instructions below under “Additional Information - Voting; Proxies; Changing a Prior Vote.” You may vote on the proposals by submitting a proxy card or submitting a proxy via the Internet or by telephone by following the procedures previously sent to you. Votes already cast will remain valid and will be voted at the Annual Meeting unless changed or revoked.

Supplement to Proposal 2 of Proxy Statement

Additional Information regarding Proposal 2

The following information supplements the Company’s request under Proposal 2 to approve the Restated Plan.

Subject to stockholder approval, in March 2018, our Board of Directors approved the Restated Plan to, among other things, provide for a share reserve of 23,542,997 shares, representing an increase of 4,350,000 shares over the existing share reserve under the Existing Plan. The Proxy Statement discusses the proposed Restated Plan and provides a copy of the Restated Plan.

After making the Proxy Statement available to stockholders, the proposal to approve the Restated Plan received an unfavorable recommendation from a proxy advisory firm. On April 17, 2018, after consideration of the unfavorable recommendation, the Company announced that its Compensation Committee has approved an amendment to the Restated Plan (the “Amendment”) to (1) reduce the proposed share reserve increase over the share reserve under the Existing Plan from 4,350,000 shares to 3,900,000 shares, which will result in a total of 23,092,997 shares being reserved for issuance under the Restated Plan, and (2) reduce the number of shares that can be issued upon the exercise of incentive stock options under the Restated Plan to 23,092,997 shares, but with no other changes to the Restated Plan as described in the Proxy Statement. The proposed 3,900,000 share increase over the share reserve under the Existing Plan will reduce the potential dilutive impact of the Restated Plan on stockholders as compared to the originally proposed 4,350,000 share increase.

The foregoing is a summary description of the Amendment and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Supplement Appendix A, the full text of the Restated Plan, a copy of which is attached as Appendix A to the Proxy Statement, and the conformed copy of the Restated Plan, as amended by the Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Supplement Appendix B. A copy of this supplement to the Proxy Statement has been filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on April 18, 2018.

Equity Incentive Awards Are Critical to Long-Term Stockholder Value Creation

The table below presents information about the number of shares that were subject to outstanding equity awards under our equity incentive plans, outstanding awards we assumed in connection with our acquisition of DTS on December 1, 2016 (“Assumed Awards”), and the shares remaining available for issuance under the Existing Plan, the 2003 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Existing ESPP”) and the International Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “IESPP”), each at February 15, 2018, and the proposed increase in shares authorized for issuance under the Restated Plan, as amended by the Amendment. The outstanding awards reflected in the table below (which include awards outstanding under the Existing Plan and the Assumed Awards) are the only equity awards we had outstanding as of February 15, 2018 (other than purchase rights under the Existing ESPP or the IESPP). For further information about the Assumed Awards, see the section titled “Equity Compensation Plan Information” in the Proxy Statement. For more information about our Existing ESPP and the shares remaining available for issuance thereunder, see Proposal 3 in the Proxy Statement. The table below restates and replaces the table included in Proposal 2 in the Proxy Statement under the heading “Equity Incentive Awards Are Critical to Long-Term Stockholder Value Creation” to reflect the Amendment and to describe the outstanding Assumed Awards as of February 15, 2018.

(1) For purposes of calculating the shares that remain available for grants, each stock option or SAR is treated as using one available share for each share of our common stock actually subject to the grant and each “full value award” is treated as using 1.5 shares for each share of our common stock delivered in settlement of such “full value award.”
(2) Based on 49,295,293 shares of our common stock outstanding as of February 15, 2018.
(3) Based on the closing price of our common stock on February 15, 2018, of $21.35 per share.
(4) Performance awards are included at “target” levels. Performance awards may be eligible to vest in 200% of the “target” award levels at “maximum” performance. If performance awards were included at “maximum” levels, the number of restricted stock units outstanding as of February 15, 2018 under the Existing Plan was 2,604,962. None of the restricted stock units that are Assumed Awards are performance awards.
(5) The weighted average exercise price of all options outstanding as of February 15, 2018 (including options outstanding under the Existing Plan and Assumed Awards) was $23.78 per share and the weighted average remaining term of all options outstanding as of February 15, 2018 (including options outstanding under the Existing Plan and Assumed Awards) was 3.45 years.


In determining whether to approve the Restated Plan, as amended by the Amendment, including whether to increase the share reserve under the Restated Plan over the share reserve under the Existing Plan, our Board of Directors considered the following:

 

    The shares to be initially reserved for issuance under the Restated Plan, as amended by the Amendment, represents an increase of 3,900,000 shares from the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance under the Existing Plan.

 

    In determining the size of the share reserve under the Restated Plan, as amended by the Amendment, over the existing share reserve under the Existing Plan, our Board of Directors considered the number of equity awards granted by our company during the past three calendar years. In calendar years 2015, 2016 and 2017, equity awards representing a total of approximately 0.6 million shares, 0.7 million shares, and 2.0 million shares, respectively, were granted under the Existing Plan, for an annual equity burn rate of 1.2%,1.4% and 4.1%, respectively. This level of equity awards represents a 3-year average burn rate of 2.3% of common shares outstanding. If each equity award is counted as a “full-value” award and multiplied by the “full-value award multiplier” of 1.5 under the Existing Plan, consistent with the methodology employed by certain proxy advisory firms, the “adjusted” equity burn rate was 1.8%, 2.1% and 6.1% for calendar years 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively. This level of equity awards represents a 3-year average burn rate of 3.3% of common shares outstanding. Equity burn rate is calculated by dividing the number of shares subject to equity awards granted during the year by the number of shares outstanding at the end of the year.

 

    We expect the proposed aggregate share reserve under the Restated Plan, as amended by the Amendment, to provide us with enough shares for awards for approximately three years, assuming we continue to grant awards consistent with our current practices and historical usage, as reflected in our historical burn rate, and further dependent on the price of our shares and hiring activity during the next few years, forfeitures of outstanding awards, and noting that future circumstances may require us to change our current equity grant practices. We cannot predict our future equity grant practices, the future price of our shares or future hiring activity with any degree of certainty at this time, and the share reserve under the Restated Plan, as amended by the Amendment, could last for a shorter or longer time.

 

    In fiscal years 2015, 2016 and 2017, the end of year overhang rate (calculated by dividing (1) the sum of the number of shares subject to equity awards outstanding at the end of the calendar year plus shares remaining available for issuance for future awards at the end of the calendar year by (2) the number of shares outstanding at the end of the calendar year) was 12.7%, 14.0%, and 10.2%, respectively. If the Restated Plan, as amended by the Amendment, is approved, we expect our overhang at the end of 2018 will be approximately 14.8% (excluding the 0.2 million shares that were available for issuance under the Existing ESPP as of December 31, 2017, 0.1 million shares that were available for issuance under our IESPP as of December 31, 2017, assuming no terminations or forfeitures of shares and giving effect to shares intended to vest pursuant to their terms in 2018, and including the Assumed Awards). If the shares available for issuance under the Existing ESPP and IESPP are included, we expect our overhang at the end of 2018 will be approximately 15.3% (excluding the proposed increase to the ESPP as described in Proposal 3 of the Proxy Statement, and including the Assumed Awards).

In light of the factors described above, and the fact that the ability to continue to grant equity compensation is vital to our ability to continue to attract and retain employees in the extremely competitive labor markets in which we compete, our Board of Directors has determined that the size of the share reserve under the Restated Plan, as amended by the Amendment, is reasonable and appropriate at this time. Our Board of Directors will not create a subcommittee to evaluate the risk and benefits for issuing shares under the Restated Plan, as amended by the Amendment.

Board Recommendation and Vote Required

As our Board of Directors continues to believe that the number of shares currently available for issuance under the Existing Plan is not sufficient in view of our compensation structure and strategy and that the availability of the additional shares under the Restated Plan, as amended by the Amendment, sought in Proposal 2 will ensure that we continue to have a sufficient number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the Restated Plan, as amended by the Amendment, the Board recommends a vote in favor of Proposal 2.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the proposal is required to approve the proposed Restated Plan, as amended by the Amendment. The Board of Directors continues to recommend that you vote “FOR” the approval of Proposal 2, as amended by this proxy supplement.

4.            Administration of the Plan.

(a)            Administrator. A Committee of the Board shall administer the Plan and the Committee shall consist solely of two or more Non-Employee Directors each of whom is a “non-employee director” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3, and such Committee shall be otherwise comprised to comply with all Applicable Laws. Within the scope of such authority, the Board or the Committee may delegate to a committee of one or more members of the Board who are not “non-employee directors,” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3, the authority to grant Awards under the Plan to eligible persons who are not then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In its absolute discretion, the Board may at any time and from time to time exercise any and all rights and duties of the Committee under the Plan except with respect to matters which under Rule 16b-3, or any regulations or rules issued thereunder, are required to be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the full Board, acting by a majority of its members in office, shall conduct the general administration of the Plan with respect to Awards granted to Non-Employee Directors. Should any Awards made under the Plan prior to November 2, 2017 be intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code prior to its repeal (“162(m) Awards”), then all such determinations regarding such Awards will be made solely by a Committee comprised solely of two of more “outside directors” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code.

(b)            Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the Plan and, in the case of a Committee, the specific duties delegated by the Board to such Committee, and subject to the approval of any relevant authorities, the Administrator shall have the authority in its discretion:

(i)            to determine the Fair Market Value;

(ii)           to select the Service Providers to whom Awards may from time to time be granted hereunder;

(iii)          to determine the number of Shares to be covered by each such Award granted hereunder;

(iv)          to approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan;

(v)           to determine the terms and conditions of any Awards granted hereunder. Such terms and conditions include, but are not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when Awards may be exercised (which may be based on performance criteria), any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Award or the Common Stock relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine;

(vi)          to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans established for the purpose of qualifying for preferred tax treatment under foreign tax laws; and

(vii)         to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and awards granted pursuant to the Plan.

(c)            Effect of Administrator’s Decision. All decisions, determinations and interpretations of the Administrator shall be final and binding on all Holders.

(d)            Provisions Applicable to Section 162(m) Participants. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any Award, each 162(m) Award (and each Award which was otherwise not subject to the deduction limitation of Section 162(m) of the Code) shall be subject to any additional limitations as the Committee determines necessary for such 162(m) Award to qualify as “performance-based compensation” as described in Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code prior to its repeal (or to be so exempt) pursuant to the transition relief rules in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “TCJA”), and to the extent any of the provisions of the Plan or any Award (or

 

B-6         XPERI - Supplement to Proxy Statement   
    


any amendments hereto pursuant to this amendment and restatement of the Plan) would cause any 162(m) Awards to fail to so qualify or other Awards to be so exempt, any such provisions shall not apply to such Awards to the extent necessary to ensure the continued qualification or exemption of such Awards. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Plan and any such Awards shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements.

5.            Eligibility.

(a)            General Eligibility. Awards may be granted to Service Providers. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees. Each Non-Employee Director of the Company shall be eligible to be automatically granted Options at the times and in the manner set forth in Section 12.

(b)            No Right to Continuing Service. Neither the Plan nor any Award shall confer upon any Holder any right with respect to continuing the Holder’s relationship as a Service Provider with the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with his or her right or the Company’s right to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause.

(c)            Award Limit. No Service Provider shall be granted, in any calendar year, Awards to purchase more than 1,500,000 Shares. The foregoing limitation shall be adjusted proportionately in connection with any change in the Company’s capitalization as described in Section 14. For purposes of this Section 5(c), if an Option is canceled in the same calendar year it was granted (other than in connection with a transaction described in Section 14), the canceled Option will be counted against the limit set forth in this Section 5(c). For this purpose, if the exercise price of an Option is reduced, the transaction shall be treated as a cancellation of the Option and the grant of a new Option. In addition, the maximum amount that may be paid in cash during any calendar year with respect to any Award initially payable in cash shall be $1,500,000. The maximum aggregate grant date fair value of Awards granted to a Non-Employee Director as compensation for services as a Non-Employee Director in any calendar year, as determined in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, or any successor thereto, shall be $750,000. The limits on Awards set forth in this Section 5(c) are referred to herein collectively as the “Award Limits”).

6.            Term of Plan. This Seventh Amended and Restated 2003 Equity Incentive Plan shall become effective on the date it is approved by the Company’s stockholders (the “Effective Date”) and shall continue in effect until terminated under Section 16 of the Plan. No Awards may be granted or awarded during any period of suspension or after termination of the Plan, and, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event may any Incentive Stock Option be granted under this Plan after March 12, 2028.

7.            Terms of Options.

(a)            Limitations on Incentive Stock Options. Each Option shall be designated in the applicable Award Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Holder during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Parent or Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 7(a), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted. The Fair Market Value of the Shares shall be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares is granted.

(b)            Term of Option. The term of each Option shall be stated in the applicable Award Agreement; provided, however, that the term of an Option shall be no more than ten (10) years from the date of grant thereof. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Holder who, at the time the Option is granted, owns stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the term of the Option shall be five (5) years from the date of grant or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement.

 

   XPERI - Supplement to Proxy Statement         B-7
      


(c)            Option Exercise Price. The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option shall be such price as is determined by the Administrator; provided, however, that the per Share exercise price shall be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant (or, as to Incentive Stock Options, on the date the Option is modified, extended or renewed for purposes of Section 424(h) of the Code). In the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an Employee who, at the time of grant of such Option, owns (or is treated as owning under Code Section 424) stock representing more than ten percent (10%) of the voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary, the exercise price per Share shall be no less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant (or the date the Option is modified, extended or renewed for purposes of Section 424(h) of the Code).

(d)            Exercise of Option.

(i)            Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Stockholder. Subject to Section 27, any Option granted hereunder shall be vested and exercisable according to the terms hereof at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the Award Agreement. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, vesting of Options granted hereunder shall be tolled during any unpaid leave of absence. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives: (A) written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Award Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, (B) such representations and documents as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable to effect compliance with Applicable Laws, (C) upon the exercise of all or a portion of an unvested Option pursuant to Section 7(f), a Restricted Stock purchase agreement in a form determined by the Administrator and signed by the Holder or other person then entitled to exercise the Option or such portion of the Option; and (D) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised, including payment of any applicable withholding tax. Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrator and permitted by the Award Agreement and the Plan.

Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Optionee or, if requested by the Holder, in the name of the Holder and his or her spouse. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a stockholder shall exist with respect to the Shares, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 14 of the Plan.

(ii)            Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. If a Holder ceases to be a Service Provider other than by reason of the Holder’s death or Disability, such Holder may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Award Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for three (3) months following the Optionee’s termination. If, on the date of termination, the Holder is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Holder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified by the Administrator, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

(iii)            Disability of Optionee. If a Holder ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Holder’s Disability, the Holder may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement to the extent the Option is vested on the date of termination (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Award Agreement). In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Holder’s termination. If, on the date of termination, the Holder is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after termination, the Holder does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

 

B-8         XPERI - Supplement to Proxy Statement   
    


(iv)            Death of Optionee. If a Holder dies while a Service Provider, the Option may be exercised within such period of time as is specified in the Award Agreement, by the Holder’s estate or by a person who acquires the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance, to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Notice of Grant). In the absence of a specified time in the Award Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Optionee’s termination. If, at the time of death, the Holder is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall immediately revert to the Plan. The Option may be exercised by the executor or administrator of the Holder’s estate or, if none, by the person(s) entitled to exercise the Option under the Holder’s will or the laws of descent or distribution. If the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

(e)           Regulatory Extension. A Holder’s Award Agreement may provide that if the exercise of the Option following the termination of the Holder’s status as a Service Provider (other than upon the Holder’s death or Disability) would be prohibited at any time solely because the issuance of shares would violate the registration requirements under the Securities Act, then the Option shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of the term of the Option set forth in Section 7(b) or (ii) the expiration of a period of thirty (30) days after the termination of the Holder’s status as a Service Provider during which the exercise of the Option would not be in violation of such registration requirements.

(f)            Early Exercisability. The Administrator may provide in the terms of a Holder’s Award Agreement that the Holder may, at any time before the Holder’s status as a Service Provider terminates, exercise the Option in whole or in part prior to the full vesting of the Option; provided, however, that Shares acquired upon exercise of an Option which has not fully vested may be subject to any repurchase, forfeiture, transfer or other restrictions as the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion.

(g)            Options in Lieu of Compensation. Options may be granted under the Plan to Employees and Consultants in lieu of cash bonuses which would otherwise be payable to such Employees and Consultants and to Non-Employee Directors in lieu of directors’ fees which would otherwise be payable to such Non-Employee Directors, pursuant to such policies which may be adopted by the Administrator from time to time.

8.            Restricted Stock Awards.

(a)            Rights to Purchase. Restricted Stock may be issued to Service Providers either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other Awards granted under the Plan and/or cash awards made outside of the Plan. After the Administrator determines that it will offer Restricted Stock under the Plan, it shall advise the offeree in writing or electronically of the terms, conditions and restrictions related to the offer, including the number of Shares that such person shall be entitled to purchase, the price to be paid, if any, and the time within which such person must accept such offer; provided, however, that the purchase price shall be no less than the par value of the Common Stock to be purchased, unless otherwise permitted by applicable state law. Restricted Stock may also be awarded in consideration for past services actually rendered to the Company for its benefit. The offer shall be accepted by execution of an Award Agreement in the form determined by the Administrator.

(b)            Repurchase Option; Forfeiture. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, the Award Agreement shall grant the Company a repurchase option exercisable upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of the Holder’s service with the Company for any reason (including death or Disability). If no cash consideration was paid by the Holder upon issuance, a Holder’s rights in unvested Restricted Stock shall be forfeited to the Company, without consideration, upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of the Holder’s service with the Company for any reason (including death or Disability). The purchase price for Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to such repurchase right and the rate at which such repurchase right or forfeiture provisions shall lapse shall be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, and shall be set forth in the Award Agreement; provided, however, that, subject to Section 27, by action taken after the Restricted Stock is issued, the Administrator may, on such terms and conditions as it may determine to be appropriate, remove any or all of the restrictions imposed by the terms of the Award Agreement. Restricted Stock may not be sold or encumbered until all restrictions are terminated or expire.

(c)            Other Provisions. The Award Agreement shall contain such other terms, provisions and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion.

(d)            Rights as a Stockholder. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 8(d), once Restricted Stock is issued, the Holder shall have rights equivalent to those of a stockholder, and shall be a stockholder when his or her purchase is entered upon the records of the duly authorized transfer agent of the Company. No adjustment shall be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Restricted Stock is issued, except as provided in Section 14 of the Plan. In addition, with respect to a share of Restricted Stock, dividends which are paid prior to vesting shall only be paid out to the Holder to the extent that the vesting conditions are subsequently satisfied and the share of Restricted Stock vests.

9.            Restricted Stock Unit Awards.

(a)            Grant of Restricted Stock Units. The Administrator is authorized to grant Awards of Restricted Stock Units to any Service Provider selected by the Administrator in such amounts and subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the Administrator.

(b)            Purchase Price. The Administrator shall specify the purchase price, if any, to be paid by the Holder to the Company with respect to any Restricted Stock Unit award; provided, however, that value of the consideration shall not be less than the par value of a Share, unless otherwise permitted by Applicable Law.

(c)            Vesting of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to Section 27, at the time of grant, the Administrator shall specify the date or dates on which the Restricted Stock Units shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable, and may specify such conditions to vesting as it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, vesting based upon the Holder’s duration of service to the Company or any Subsidiary, one or more Performance Criteria, Company performance, individual performance or other specific criteria, in each case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods, as determined by the Administrator.

(d)            Maturity and Payment. At the time of grant, the Administrator shall specify the maturity date applicable to each grant of Restricted Stock Units, which shall be no earlier than the vesting date or dates of the Award and may be determined at the election of the Holder (if permitted by the applicable Award Agreement); provided that, except as otherwise determined by the Administrator, and subject to compliance with Section 409A of the Code, in no event shall the maturity date relating to each Restricted Stock Unit occur following the later of (i) the 15th day of the third month following the end of calendar year in which the applicable portion of the Restricted Stock Unit vests; or (ii) the 15th day of the third month following the end of the Company’s fiscal year in which the applicable portion of the Restricted Stock Unit vests. On the maturity date, the Company shall, in accordance with the applicable Award Agreement, transfer to the Holder one unrestricted, fully transferable Share for each Restricted Stock Unit scheduled to be paid out on such date and not previously forfeited, or in the sole discretion of the Administrator, an amount in cash equal to the Fair Market Value of such Shares on the maturity date or a combination of cash and Common Stock as determined by the Administrator.

(e)            Payment upon Termination of Service. An Award of Restricted Stock Units shall only be payable while the Holder is a Service Provider; provided, however, that the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may provide (in an Award Agreement or otherwise) that a Restricted Stock Unit award may be paid subsequent to a termination of the Holder’s relationship as a Service Provider following a termination of the Holder’s relationship as a Service Provider without cause, or following a Change of Control, or because of the Holder’s retirement, death or Disability, or otherwise.

(b)            Performance Awards.

(i)            Any Service Provider selected by the Administrator may be granted one or more Performance Awards. The value of such Performance Awards may be linked to any one or more of the Performance Goals or other specific performance goals determined appropriate by the Administrator, in each case on a specified date or dates or over any period or periods determined by the Administrator. In making such determinations, the Administrator shall consider (among such other factors as it deems relevant in light of the specific type of award) the contributions, responsibilities and other compensation of the particular Service Provider.

(ii)            Without limiting Section 10(b)(i), the Administrator may grant Performance Awards to any Service Provider in the form of a cash bonus payable upon the attainment of Performance Goals which are established by the Administrator and relate to one or more of the Performance Criteria over a Performance Period determined by the Administrator.

(c)            Dividend Equivalents.

(i)            Any Service Provider selected by the Administrator may be granted Dividend Equivalents based on the dividends declared on Common Stock, to be credited as of dividend payment dates, during the period between the date an Award is granted, and the date such Award is exercised, vests or expires, as determined by the Administrator. Subject to Section 27, such Dividend Equivalents shall be converted to cash or additional shares of Common Stock by such formula and at such time and subject to such limitations as may be determined by the Administrator.

(ii)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Dividend Equivalents shall be payable with respect to Options or Stock Appreciation Rights.

(iii)          Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, dividends and Dividend Equivalents with respect to an Award that is subject to vesting that are based on dividends paid prior to the vesting of such Award shall only be paid out to the Holder to the extent that the vesting conditions are subsequently satisfied and the Award vests.

(d)            Stock Payments. Any Service Provider selected by the Administrator may receive Stock Payments in the manner determined from time to time by the Administrator. The number of shares shall be determined by the Administrator and may be based upon the Performance Criteria or other specific performance criteria determined appropriate by the Administrator, determined on the date such Stock Payment is made or on any date thereafter.

(e)            Term. The term of a Performance Award, Dividend Equivalent and/or Stock Payment, if any, shall be set by the Administrator in its discretion.

(f)             Purchase Price. The Administrator may establish the purchase price, if any, of a Performance Award or shares received as a Stock Payment; provided, however, that such price shall not be less than the par value of a share of Common Stock, unless otherwise permitted by Applicable Law.

(g)            Exercise Upon Termination of Relationship as a Service Provider. A Performance Award, Dividend Equivalent and/or Stock Payment is exercisable or payable only while the Holder is a Service Provider, as applicable; provided, however, that the Administrator in its sole and absolute discretion may provide that the Performance Award, Dividend Equivalent and/or Stock Payment may be exercised or paid subsequent to a termination of the Holder’s relationship as a Service Provider following a termination of the Holder’s relationship as a Service Provider without cause, or following a Change of Control, or because of the Holder’s retirement, death or Disability, or otherwise.

(h)            Form of Payment. Payment of the amount determined under Section 10(b) or 9(c) above shall be in cash, in Common Stock or a combination of both, as determined by the Administrator.

11.          Stock Appreciation Rights.

(a)            Grant of Stock Appreciation Rights. A Stock Appreciation Right may be granted to any Service Provider selected by the Administrator. A Stock Appreciation Right shall be subject to such terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as the Administrator shall impose and shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement.

(b)            Term; Exercise Price. A Stock Appreciation Right shall have a term set by the Administrator; provided, that the term of a Stock Appreciation Right shall be no more than ten (10) years. Subject to Section 27, a Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable in such installments as the Administrator may determine. A Stock Appreciation Right shall cover such number of shares of Common Stock as the Administrator may determine. The exercise price per share of Common Stock subject to each Stock Appreciation Right shall be set by the Administrator; provided, that the per share exercise price of a Stock Appreciation Right shall be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant of such Stock Appreciation Right. A Stock Appreciation Right is exercisable only while the Holder is a Service Provider; provided that the Administrator may determine that the Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised subsequent to termination of the Holder’s relationship as a Service Provider without cause, or following a Change of Control, or because of the Holder’s retirement, death or Disability, or otherwise.

(c)            Entitlement Upon Exercise. A Stock Appreciation Right shall entitle the Holder (or other person entitled to exercise the Stock Appreciation Right pursuant to the Plan) to exercise all or a specified portion of the Stock Appreciation Right (to the extent then exercisable pursuant to its terms) and to receive from the Company an amount determined by multiplying the difference obtained by subtracting the exercise price per share of the Stock Appreciation Right from the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right by the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the Stock Appreciation Right shall have been exercised, subject to any limitations the Administrator may impose.

(d)            Payment and Limitations on Exercise.

(i)        Payment of the amounts determined under Section 9(c) above shall be in cash, in Common Stock (based on its Fair Market Value as of the date the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised) or a combination of both, as determined by the Administrator. To the extent such payment is effected in Common Stock it shall be made subject to satisfaction of all provisions of Section 17.

(ii)       Holders of Stock Appreciation Rights may be required to comply with any timing or other restrictions with respect to the settlement or exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right, including a window-period limitation, as may be imposed in the discretion of the Administrator.

12.          Automatic Awards to Non-Employee Directors.

(a)            During the term of the Plan, each Non-Employee Director who is serving on the Board as of the date of each annual meeting of stockholders and who will continue to serve as a Non-Employee Director following the date of such annual meeting (including, for the avoidance of doubt, a Non-Employee Director initially elected or appointed to the Board on the date of such annual meeting) automatically shall be granted a combination of Options and/or Restricted Stock Units on the date of such annual meeting (an “Annual Award”). Each Annual Award shall consist of (i) an Option to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing (A) the dollar amount of the Annual Award to be paid in Options, if any, by (B) (1) the Fair Market Value per share of the Common Stock on the date of grant of such Option divided by (2) two (2) (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 14) (an “Annual Option”), and (ii) such number of Restricted Stock Units as is determined by dividing (A) the dollar amount of the Annual Award to be paid in Restricted Stock Units, if any, by (B) the Fair Market Value per share of the Common Stock on the date of grant of such Restricted Stock Units (subject to adjustment as provided in Section 14) (an “Annual Restricted Stock Unit Award”). The Compensation Committee of the Board shall determine the allocation of each Annual Award among Options and/or Restricted Stock Units prior to the date of grant of such Annual Award; provided, however, that the total dollar value of each Annual Award shall equal $150,000. Members of the Board who are employees of the Company who

 

B-12         XPERI - Supplement to Proxy Statement   
    


subsequently retire from the Company and remain on the Board, to the extent that they are otherwise eligible, will receive after retirement from employment with the Company Annual Awards, including the pro-rata Annual Award pursuant to Section 12(b) below (which pro-ration will reflect the such Director’s partial year of service, as calculated by dividing the number of days from the date of such retirement through the first anniversary of the date of the preceding annual meeting, by three-hundred sixty-five (365)).

(b)            During the term of the Plan, a person who is initially elected or appointed to the Board other than on the date of an annual meeting and who is a Non-Employee Director at the time of such initial election or appointment automatically shall be granted a pro-rated Annual Award (which pro-ration will reflect the Non-Employee Director’s partial year of service, as calculated by dividing the number of days from the date of such initial election or appointment through the first anniversary of the date of the preceding annual meeting, by three-hundred sixty-five (365)) on the date of such initial election or appointment in the same form(s) as the Annual Awards were granted to continuing Non-Employee Directors on the date of the annual meeting preceding such Non-Employee Director’s initial election or appointment (and in the same proportion of Options to Restricted Stock Units, if such Annual Awards were granted in a combination of the two types of Awards). The Awards granted pursuant to this Section 12(b) shall also be considered “Annual Awards.”

(c)            The exercise price per share of the shares subject to each Annual Option granted to a Non-Employee Director shall equal one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.

(d)            Except as otherwise provided in this Section 12, Annual Restricted Stock Unit Awards granted to Non-Employee Directors pursuant to this Section 12 shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 9. Annual Restricted Stock Unit Awards shall be subject to forfeiture to the Company upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of the Non-Employee Director’s service with the Company for any reason (including death or Disability). Except as provided in Sections 14 and 27, Annual Restricted Stock Unit Awards granted to Non-Employee Directors shall vest on the first to occur of (i) the first anniversary of the date of grant of the Restricted Stock Unit Award or (ii) the day prior to the next occurring annual meeting of stockholders following the date of grant of the Restricted Stock Unit Award, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator.

(e)            Except as otherwise provided in this Section 12, Annual Options granted to Non-Employee Directors pursuant to this Section 12 shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 7. Except as provided in Sections 14 and 27, Annual Options granted to Non-Employee Directors shall vest and become exercisable on the first to occur of (i) the first anniversary of the date of grant of the Option or (ii) the day prior to the next occurring annual meeting of stockholders following the date of grant of the Option, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator. Subject to Sections 7(d)(ii), (iii) and (iv), the term of each Annual Option granted to a Non-Employee Director shall be ten (10) years from the date the Annual Option is granted.

13.          Non-Transferability of Awards.

(a)            No Award under the Plan may be sold, pledged, assigned hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, subject to the consent of the Administrator, pursuant to a DRO, unless and until such Award has been exercised, or the Shares underlying such Award have been issued, and all restrictions applicable to such shares have lapsed.

(b)            During the lifetime of the Holder, only he or she may exercise an Award (or any portion thereof) granted to him or her under the Plan, unless it has been disposed of with the consent of the Administrator pursuant to a DRO. After the death of the Holder, any exercisable portion of an Award may, prior to the time when such portion becomes unexercisable under the Plan or the applicable award Agreement, be exercised by his or her personal representative or by any person empowered to do so under the deceased Holder’s will or under the then applicable laws of descent and distribution.

14.          Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Merger or Asset Sale.

(a)            Subject to Section 14(e), in the event that the Administrator determines that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Stock, other securities, or other property), recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase, liquidation, dissolution, or sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event, in the Administrator’s sole discretion, affects the Common Stock (other than an Equity Restructuring) such that an adjustment is determined by the Administrator to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended by the Company to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any Award, then the Administrator shall, in such manner as it may deem equitable, adjust any or all of:

(i)            the number and kind of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) with respect to which Awards may be granted or awarded (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Section 3 on the maximum number and kind of shares which may be issued, adjustments to the Award Limits, and adjustments of the manner in which shares subject to Full Value Awards will be counted);

(ii)            the number and kind of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards; and

(iii)            the grant or exercise price with respect to any Award.

(b)            Subject to Sections 14(d) and (e), in the event of any transaction or event described in Section 14(a), the Administrator, in its sole discretion, and on such terms and conditions as it deems appropriate, either by the terms of the Award or by action taken prior to the occurrence of such transaction or event and either automatically or upon the Holder’s request, is hereby authorized to take any one or more of the following actions whenever the Administrator determines that such action is appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended by the Company to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any Award granted or issued under the Plan or to facilitate such transaction or event:

(i)            To provide for either the purchase of any such Award for an amount of cash equal to the amount that could have been obtained upon the exercise of such Award or realization of the Holder’s rights had such Award been currently exercisable or payable or fully vested or the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Administrator in its sole discretion;

(ii)            To provide that such Award shall be exercisable as to all shares covered thereby, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the provisions of such Award;

(iii)            To provide that such Award be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by similar options, rights or awards covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices;

(iv)            To make adjustments in the number and type of shares of Common Stock (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding Awards, and/or in the terms and conditions of (including the grant or exercise price), and the criteria included in, outstanding Awards or Awards which may be granted in the future; and

(v)            To provide that immediately upon the consummation of such event, such Award shall not be exercisable and shall terminate; provided that for a specified period of time prior to such event, such Award shall be exercisable as to all Shares covered thereby, and the restrictions imposed under an Award Agreement upon some or all Shares may be terminated.

(c)            Subject to Section 3, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, include such further provisions and limitations in any Award Agreement or certificate, as it may deem equitable and in the best interests of the Company.

 

B-14         XPERI - Supplement to Proxy Statement   
    


(d)            In the event of a Change of Control, then each outstanding Award shall be assumed or an equivalent Award or right substituted by the successor corporation or a Parent or Subsidiary of the successor corporation. In the event that the successor corporation or a Parent or a Subsidiary of the successor corporation refuses to assume or substitute for each outstanding Award, the Holders shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise, if applicable, each outstanding Award as to all of the Shares covered thereby, including Shares as to which would not otherwise be vested and/or exercisable and/or payable. If an Award becomes fully vested and/or exercisable and/or payable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a Change of Control, the Administrator shall notify all Holders that all outstanding Awards shall be fully vested and/or exercisable and/or payable for a period of at least fifteen (15) days prior to the closing of the Change of Control (or such other period as determined by the Administrator), and any Awards that are not exercised, if applicable, within such period shall terminate immediately prior to the Change of Control. For the purposes of this paragraph, an outstanding Award shall be considered assumed if, following the consummation of the Change of Control, the Award confers the right to purchase or receive, for each Share subject to the Award immediately prior to the consummation of the Change of Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash, or other securities property) received in the Change of Control by holders of Common Stock for each Share held on the effective date of the transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided, however, that if such consideration received in the Change of Control is not solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent, the Administrator may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the consideration to be received upon the exercise or payment of the Award, for each Share subject to the Award, to be solely common stock of the successor corporation or its Parent or Subsidiary equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by holders of Common Stock in the Change of Control.

(e)            With respect to 162(m) Awards, no adjustment or action described in this Section 14 or in any other provision of the Plan shall be authorized to the extent that such adjustment or action would cause such Award to fail to so qualify under Code Section 162(m)(4)(C) prior to its repeal unless the Administrator determines that the Award should not so qualify. Furthermore, no such adjustment or action shall be authorized to the extent such adjustment or action would result in short-swing profits liability under Section 16 or violate the exemptive conditions of Rule 16b-3 unless the Administrator determines that the Award is not to comply with such exemptive conditions.

(f)            In connection with the occurrence of any Equity Restructuring, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Sections 14(a) and 14(b):

 (i)            The number and type of securities subject to each outstanding Award and the exercise price or grant price thereof, if applicable, shall be equitably adjusted. The adjustments provided under this Section 14(f) shall be nondiscretionary and shall be final and binding on the affected Holder and the Company.

 (ii)            The Administrator shall make such equitable adjustments, if any, as the Administrator may deem appropriate to reflect such Equity Restructuring with respect to the aggregate number and kind of shares that may be issued under the Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Section 3 on the maximum number and kind of shares which may be issued under the Plan, adjustments to the Award Limits in Section 5(c), and adjustments of the manner in which shares subject to Full Value Awards will be counted).

15.          Time of Granting Options and Stock Purchase Rights. The date of grant of an Award shall, for all purposes, be the date on which the Administrator makes the determination granting such Option or Stock Purchase Right, or such other date as is determined by the Administrator. Notice of the determination shall be given to each Service Provider to whom an Award is so granted within a reasonable time after the date of such grant.

16.          Amendment and Termination of the Plan.

(a)            Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

 

   XPERI - Supplement to Proxy Statement         B-15
      


(b)            Stockholder Approval. Without approval of the Company’s stockholders given within twelve (12) months before or after the action by the Administrator, no action of the Administrator may, except as provided in Section 14, (a) increase the limits imposed in Section 3(a) on the maximum number of Shares which may be issued under the Plan or the individual Award Limits imposed in Section 5(c), (b) reduce the price per share of any outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan or take any action prohibited under Section 24, (c) cancel any Option or Stock Appreciation Right in exchange for cash or another Award in violation of Section 24, or (d) amend the Plan in any manner that requires stockholder approval under Applicable Laws.

(c)            Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Holder, including any amendment effected pursuant to this amendment and restatement of the Plan, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Holder and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Holder and the Company. Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Administrator’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.

17.          Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares.

(a)            Legal Compliance. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award unless the exercise of such Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

(b)            Investment Representations. As a condition to the exercise of an Award, the Administrator may require the person exercising such Award to represent and warrant at the time of any such exercise that the Shares are being purchased only for investment and without any present intention to sell or distribute such Shares if, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such a representation is required.

(c)            Consideration. The Administrator shall determine the methods by which payments by any Holder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan shall be made, including, without limitation: (i) cash, (ii) check, (iii) with the consent of the Administrator, a full recourse promissory note bearing interest (at no less than such rate as is a market rate of interest and which then precludes the imputation of interest under the Code) and payable upon such terms as may be prescribed by the Administrator, (iv) with the consent of the Administrator, other Shares which (A) in the case of Shares acquired from the Company, have been owned by the Holder for the requisite period necessary to avoid a charge to the Company’s earnings for financial reporting purposes, on the date of surrender, and (B) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the payments required, (v) with the consent of the Administrator, in the case of payment of the exercise price of an Award, Shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of the Award, (vi) with the consent of the Administrator, delivery of a notice that the Holder has placed a market sell order with a broker with respect to Shares then issuable upon exercise of the Awards and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of the Award exercise price, provided that payment of such proceeds is then made to the Company upon settlement of such sale, or (vii) any combination of the foregoing methods of payment. In making its determination as to the type of consideration to accept, the Administrator shall consider if acceptance of such consideration may be reasonably expected to benefit the Company. In the case of a promissory note, the Administrator may also prescribe the form of such note and the security to be given for such note. The Award may not be exercised, however, by delivery of a promissory note or by a loan from the Company when or where such loan or other extension of credit is prohibited by law, and payment in the manner prescribed by the preceding sentences shall not be permitted to the extent that the Administrator determines that payment in such manner may result in an extension or maintenance of credit, an arrangement for the extension of credit, or a renewal of an extension of credit in the form of a personal loan to or for any Director or executive officer of the Company that is prohibited by Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act or other Applicable Law.

(d)            Tax Withholding. The Company shall be entitled to require payment in cash or deduction from other compensation payable to each Holder of any sums required by federal, state or local tax law to be withheld with respect to the issuance, vesting, exercise or payment of any Award or any other taxable event related to an Award. The Administrator may in its discretion and in satisfaction of the foregoing requirement allow

 

B-16         XPERI - Supplement to Proxy Statement   
    


such Holder to satisfy such obligations by any payment means described in Section 17(c) hereof, including, without limitation, by allowing such Holder to elect to have the Company withhold shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable under such Award (or allow the return of shares of Common Stock) having a fair market value equal to the sums required to be withheld. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the number of shares of Common Stock which may be so withheld or returned shall be limited to the number of shares which have a fair market value on the date of withholding or return no greater than the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the minimum statutory withholding rates for federal and state tax income and payroll tax purposes that are applicable to such supplemental taxable income (or, to the extent provided by the Administrator, such higher withholding rate that is in no event greater than the maximum individual statutory tax rate in the applicable jurisdiction at the time of such withholding (or such other rate as may be required to avoid the liability classification of the applicable award under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America)); provided, however, to the extent such shares were acquired by the Holder from the Company as compensation, the shares must have been held for the minimum period required by applicable accounting rules to avoid a charge to the Company’s earnings for financial reporting purposes; provided, further, that, any such shares withheld or returned shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share of Common Stock to the extent rounding up to the nearest whole share does not result in the liability classification of the applicable Award under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The Administrator shall determine the fair market value of the Shares, consistent with applicable provisions of the Code, for tax withholding obligations due in connection with a broker-assisted cashless Option or Stock Appreciation Right exercise involving the sale of Shares to pay the Option or Stock Appreciation Right exercise price or any tax withholding obligation.

18.            Loans. The Administrator may, in its discretion, extend one or more loans to Service Providers in connection with the exercise or receipt of an Award granted or awarded under the Plan. The terms and conditions of any such loan shall be set by the Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no loan shall be made under this Section to the extent such loan shall result in an extension or maintenance of credit, an arrangement for the extension of credit, or a renewal of an extension of credit in the form of a personal loan to or for any Director or executive officer of the Company that is prohibited by Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act or other Applicable Law. In the event that the Administrator determines in its discretion that any loan under this Section may be or will become prohibited by Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act or other Applicable Law, the Administrator may provide that such loan shall be immediately due and payable in full and may take any other action in connection with such loan as the Administrator determines in its discretion to be necessary or appropriate for the repayment, cancellation or extinguishment of such loan.

19.            Section 16. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Plan, and any Award granted or awarded to any individual who is then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, shall be subject to any additional limitations set forth in any applicable exemptive rule under Section 16 of the Exchange Act (including any amendment to Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act) that are requirements for the application of such exemptive rule. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Plan and Awards granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such applicable exemptive rule.

20.            Inability to Obtain Authority. The inability of the Company to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

21.            Reservation of Shares. The Company, during the term of this Plan, shall at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

22.            Stockholder Approval. This amended and restated Plan shall be subject to approval by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the date the Plan is approved by the Board and the “Effective Date” of this amended and restated Plan shall be the date of such stockholder approval. Such stockholder approval shall be obtained in the degree and manner required under Applicable Laws. If this amended and restated Plan is not approved by the Company’s stockholders, this amended and restated Plan shall not become effective and the Sixth Amended and Restated 2003 Equity Incentive Plan shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

23.          Forfeiture and Claw-Back Provisions. Pursuant to its general authority to determine the terms and conditions applicable to Awards under the Plan, the Administrator shall have the right to provide, in an Award Agreement or otherwise, or to require a Holder to agree by separate written or electronic instrument, that:

(a)            (i) Any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit actually or constructively received by the Holder upon any receipt or exercise of the Award, or upon the receipt or resale of any Shares underlying the Award, shall be paid to the Company, and (ii) the Award shall terminate and any unexercised portion of the Award (whether or not vested) shall be forfeited, if (x) the Holder at any time, or during a specified time period, engages in any activity in competition with the Company, or which is inimical, contrary or harmful to the interests of the Company, as further defined by the Administrator or (y) the Holder incurs a termination of service for cause; and

(b)            All Awards (including any proceeds, gains or other economic benefit actually or constructively received by the Holder upon any receipt or exercise of any Award or upon the receipt or resale of any Shares underlying the Award) shall be subject to the provisions of any claw-back policy implemented by the Company, including, without limitation, any claw-back policy adopted to comply with the requirements of Applicable Law, including without limitation, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, to the extent set forth in such claw-back policy and/or in the applicable Award Agreement.

24.          Prohibition on Repricing. Subject to Section 14, the Administrator shall not, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, (a) authorize the amendment of any outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right to reduce its price per share, or (b) cancel any Option or Stock Appreciation Right in exchange for cash or another Award when the Option or Stock Appreciation Right price per share exceeds the Fair Market Value of the underlying Shares. Subject to Section 14, the Administrator shall have the authority, without the approval of the stockholders of the Company, to amend any outstanding Award to increase the price per share or to cancel and replace an Award with the grant of an Award having a price per share that is greater than or equal to the price per share of the original Award. Furthermore, for purposes of this Section 24, except in connection with a corporate transaction involving the Company (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares), the terms of outstanding Awards may not be amended to reduce the exercise price per share of outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights or cancel outstanding Options or Stock Appreciation Rights in exchange for cash, other Awards or Options or Stock Appreciation Rights with an exercise price per share that is less than the exercise price per share of the original Options or Stock Appreciation Rights without the approval of the stockholders of the Company.

25.          Governing Law. The validity and enforceability of this Plan shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to otherwise governing principles of conflicts of law.

26.          Section 409A. To the extent that the Administrator determines that any Award granted under the Plan is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award shall incorporate the terms and conditions required by Section 409A of the Code. To the extent applicable, the Plan and Award Agreements shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder, including without limitation any such regulations or other guidance that may be issued after the Effective Date. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that following the Effective Date the Administrator determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance (including such Department of Treasury guidance as may be issued after the Effective Date), the Administrator may adopt such amendments to the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate to (a) exempt the Award from Section 409A of the Code and/or preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided with respect to the Award, or (b) comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and related Department of Treasury guidance.
