Amendment of the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan
At the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Green Dot Corporation (the “Registrant”) held on May 21, 2014, the Registrant’s stockholders approved amendments to the Registrant’s 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 EIP”). The amendments to the 2010 EIP were approved by the Registrant’s Board of Directors on April 7, 2014, subject to the approval of the Registrant’s stockholders, and became effective with such stockholder approval on May 21, 2014.
As a result of such stockholder approval, the 2010 EIP was materially amended and modified to increase the number of shares reserved for issuance by 3,400,000 shares, of which 1,300,000 shares will not be utilized until substantially all of the shares of the Registrant’s Series A Convertible Junior Participating Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock have been converted into the Registrant's Class A common stock. In addition to increasing the number of shares reserved for issuance, the amendments to the 2010 EIP removed the provision that allowed shares to be available for reissuance where such shares were used to pay the exercise price of an award or used to satisfy tax withholding obligations. The amendments also eliminated the Registrant’s ability to conduct an exchange program under the 2010 EIP without prior stockholder approval.
A more complete description of the terms of the 2010 EIP and the material amendments and modifications thereto can be found in “Proposal No. 3-Approval of Amendments to Our 2010 Equity Incentive Plan” (pages 16 through 20) in the Registrant’s definitive proxy statement dated April 10, 2014, and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 10, 2014, which description is incorporated by reference herein. The foregoing descriptions and the description incorporated by reference from the Registrant’s definitive proxy statement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the 2010 EIP, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report.
