Item 8.01 Other Events.
Salesforce.com, Inc. (the “Company”) today announced its intent to seek stockholder approval at the Company’s 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2013 Annual Meeting”) of a Company-initiated proposal to eliminate the classification of its Board of Directors (the “Board”). The Company intends to include this proposal in its proxy statement for the 2013 Annual Meeting, with the meeting expected to be held in June 2013. The Board will recommend that stockholders vote in favor of this proposal. The details regarding the proposed phase out of the classified board will be included in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2013 Annual Meeting, and will require the amendment of the Company’s certificate of incorporation. If approved by the requisite vote of 66 2/3% of the Company’s outstanding stock, newly elected and re-elected directors will be elected for one year terms, and the implementation of the declassification of the Board will not prevent any director from completing the term for which a director was elected. The Company will be filing its proxy statement for the 2013 Annual Meeting that will contain important information relating to the proposal that should be read carefully before any decision is made with respect to the proposal. The proxy statement for the 2013 Annual Meeting will be available once it has been filed with the SEC on the SEC Filings section of the Investor Information section of the Company’s website at www.salesforce.com/investor and on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s EDGAR website at www.sec.gov.
