Approval of 2012 Dolby Executive Annual Incentive Plan
On November 7, 2011, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Dolby Laboratories, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted an executive cash bonus plan for fiscal 2012, entitled the 2012 Dolby Executive Annual Incentive Plan (the “Executive Plan”). A copy of the Executive Plan is filed with this report as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Only Company executive officers and other officers of the Company who are selected by the Committee are eligible to receive bonuses pursuant to the Executive Plan. Individual target bonuses are based on a percentage of each executive officer’s base salary. For fiscal 2012, the Committee set a target bonus for the Company’s principal executive officer of 100% of his base salary, and for each other executive officer, 65% of his respective base salary.
The actual bonus amount payable to our principal executive officer will be determined by multiplying his base salary by his target bonus percentage, but the actual bonus amount may be less than, or exceed, his target bonus, depending on the extent to which the Company meets certain non-GAAP operating income and revenue goals during fiscal 2012.
The actual bonuses for all other participating executive officers will be determined by multiplying base salary by the applicable target bonus percentage and then adjusting such number based on (i) the extent to which the Company meets the non-GAAP operating income and revenue goals and (ii) such other criteria as the Committee, with input from the principal executive officer, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines are appropriate to calculate and determine such final bonus amount for any such executive officer. As a result, the actual bonus amount paid to any such executive officer may be less than, or exceed, the executive officer’s target bonus.
Executive Plan funding is capped at 200% of target funding. If Executive Plan funding equals or exceeds 150% of target funding and the payout to any participating executive officer exceeds 125% of such executive officer’s target bonus payout, then 125% of such executive officer’s target bonus payout will be paid in cash and any amount in excess of 125% of such executive officer’s target bonus payout will be satisfied by the grant of restricted stock units. The number of restricted stock units that will be granted to each participating executive officer will be determined by dividing the excess cash amount for each such executive officer by the closing price of a share of Company Class A common stock on the bonus payment date (rounding down to the nearest whole share). One hundred percent of the shares subject to the restricted stock units will vest on the one year anniversary of the date of grant. The restricted stock units will be subject to the Company’s standard form of restricted stock unit agreement.
No actual bonus payment to any executive officer may exceed the limitation set forth in the Company’s 2005 Stock Plan. An executive officer may only be paid a bonus under the Executive Plan if the Committee has certified that the non-GAAP operating income and revenue goals have been met.
