Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On October 28, 2010, the Board of Directors of Stamps.com approved a one-time special $2.00 per share dividend for all of the stockholders of Stamps.com. In order to prevent that dividend from diluting or enlarging the rights of the holders (including named executive officers) of outstanding stock options and purchase rights under certain Stamps.com employee plans, including its equity plans, in compliance with those plans the Board of Directors approved a reduction in the exercise or purchase price of affected options and rights in a manner that is both value neutral and that will not result in any additional stock-based compensation expense. To the extent that the exercise price could not be adjusted in this manner without adverse tax consequences for certain option grants, the Board of Directors approved value neutral cash payments which compensated option holders for lost economic value in those option grants. These cash payments will be expensed as compensation. The value neutral cash payments to the named executive officers will be in the following amounts:
| Ken McBride, Chief Executive Officer: | $ | 644,884.00 | ||
| Kyle Huebner, Chief Financial Officer: | $ | 169,392.00 | ||
| James Bortnak, Senior Vice President | ||||
| Corporate and Business Development: | $ | 219,342.00 | ||
| Michael Biswas, Vice President | ||||
| Development: | $ | 142,000.00 | ||
| Seth Weisberg, Chief Legal Officer | ||||
| and Secretary: | $ | 179,236.00 |
