Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On August 2, 2010, the Compensation Committee of ANSYS, Inc. (the “Company”) approved an amendment and restatement of the ANSYS, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan, which was previously filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 23, 2010, to clarify the performance targets contained therein. The ANSYS, Inc. Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan”) continues to include performance targets that are based upon the percentage return per share of the Company’s common stock over a three-year period (the “Total Shareholder Return”) as compared to the median percentage appreciation of the NASDAQ Composite Total Returns Index (the “Index”) over the same period of time. The Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan provides, however, that the potential earned awards will be based on a continuous range of payouts (rather than fixed cliff payouts) once the Total Shareholder Return for any performance measurement period equals or exceeds 90% of the Index appreciation, up to a maximum payout of 100% of a target award if the Total Shareholder Return for any performance measurement period equals or exceeds 110% of the Index appreciation.
The foregoing discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of the Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan, which is being filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
