In Relation to the Resignation of Mr. Bryan Hall
In its Form 8-K filed on January 6, 2011, Virgin Media Inc. (the “Company”) confirmed that Mr. Bryan Hall had resigned as General Counsel and Company Secretary as planned, with effect from January 1, 2011 On January 11, 2011, the compensation committee (the “Committee”) of the Company’s board of directors by unanimous written consent approved the following changes to Mr. Hall’s compensation and benefits:
· During the course of his duties as General Counsel, Mr. Hall may have had access to material non-public information which would restrict his ability to exercise any Company options during the prescribed three-month period. Accordingly, the period in which Mr. Hall may exercise any options which have vested as at January 1, 2011 will be extended from three-months to twelve months, expiring on December 31, 2011; and
· Mr. Hall will be entitled to receive, on a basis pro rata to his service as a percentage of the total period, vesting of restricted stock units granted under the 2009-2011 Long Term Incentive Plan to the extent that restricted stock units under that plan ultimately vest. Subject to the pro ration, these stock units will vest at the same time, and on the same basis, as those payable to other participants of that plan.
The form of the supplemental incentive stock option notice extending the post-termination exercise period for Mr. Hall’s options is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this report.
