Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On August 27, 2012, at the 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Procera Networks, Inc. (the “Company”), the Company’s stockholders approved amendments to the Company’s 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) to: (a) increase the number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the Plan by 800,000 shares, and (b) eliminate the Company’s Board of Directors’ ability to take action related to the Plan that would be treated as a repricing under generally accepted accounting principles without the approval of the Company’s stockholders.
The amendments to the Plan had been previously approved, subject to stockholder approval, by the Board of Directors of the Company. The amendment to the Plan became effective immediately upon stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting.
A summary of the material terms of the Plan is set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the Annual Meeting filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 12, 2012. That summary and the foregoing description are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of the Plan, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
