Non-Employee Directors' Compensation
On May 20, 2015, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Company recommended for approval by the Board changes in its compensation program for non-employee directors. The Compensation Committee made its recommendations after consulting with an external independent compensation consultant about market pay practices. The Board approved the following compensation for its non-employee directors:
Each member will receive an annual retainer based on their Board and committee memberships and chair roles as follows:
Member Annual Retainer | Chairman Additional Retainer | |||||||
Board Member | $ | 35,000 | $ | 27,500 | ||||
Audit committee | $ | 7,500 | $ | 15,000 | ||||
Compensation committee | $ | 5,000 | $ | 10,000 | ||||
Nominating and governance committee | $ | 4,000 | $ | 7,500 |
Each Board member may elect to receive such member's aggregate retainer in cash or the same value in stock options that vest monthly over a 12-month period, based on the Black-Scholes value of that grant.
The Board also approved a revised program for grants of stock options for non-employee directors Under this program, a non-employee director joining the Board for the first time will receive an initial option to purchase 17,000 shares of the Company's common stock and returning non-employee directors will receive an option to purchase 8,500 shares of common stock on the date of the annual meeting. Such option will vest as to 1/12th of the shares of common stock underlying such option monthly, beginning on the monthly anniversary of the applicable grant date, subject to the director' continued service on our Board through each vesting date.
Options granted to non-employee directors have a per share exercise price equal to the per share fair market value of our common stock as of the date of grant. All options will be issued under the terms and provisions of the Company's Amended and Restated 2013 Stock Incentive Plan.
