EXPLANATORY NOTE
Jive Software, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this “Amendment No. 1”) to amend our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 28, 2017 (the “Original Form 10-K”), to include the information required by Items 10 through 14 of Part III of Form 10-K. This information was previously omitted from the Original Form 10-K in reliance on General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K, which permits the information in the above referenced items to be incorporated in the Form 10-K by reference from our definitive proxy statement if such statement is filed no later than 120 days after our fiscal year-end. We are filing this Amendment No. 1 to provide the information required in Part III of Form 10-K because a definitive proxy statement containing such information will not be filed by the Company within 120 days after the end of the fiscal year covered by the Form 10-K.
Pursuant to the rules of the SEC, Part IV, Item 15 has also been amended to contain the currently dated certifications from the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The certifications of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer are attached to this Amendment No. 1 as Exhibits 31.3 and 31.4. Because no financial statements have been included in this Amendment No. 1 and this Amendment No. 1 does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4 and 5 of the certifications have been omitted. We are not including the certificate under Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as no financial statements are being filed with this Form 10-K/A. Part IV, Item 15 has also been amended to include certain exhibits required to be filed as part of this Amendment No. 1.
This Amendment No. 1 does not amend any other information set forth in the Original Form 10-K, and we have not updated disclosures included therein to reflect any subsequent events. This Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Original Form 10-K and with our filings with the SEC subsequent to the Original Form 10-K.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Our board of directors is currently composed of ten members. In accordance with our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, our board of directors is divided into three classes. The term of office of only one class of directors expires in each year, and their successors are elected for terms of generally three years and until their successors are elected and qualified, subject to earlier resignation or removal. There is no cumulative voting for election of directors. Our amended and restated bylaws allow our board of directors to set the number of directors from time to time by resolution.
DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Based upon information requested from, and provided by, each member of our board of directors concerning his or her background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, our board of directors has determined that each of Mses. Breya and Toledano and Messrs. Darcy, Frankfurt, Koen, Reilly, Robel and Yelamanchili does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director and that each of these directors is “independent” as that term is defined under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing requirements and rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market. In making this determination, our board of directors considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with us and all other facts and circumstances our board of directors deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director.
LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE
Serving on our board of directors since October 2007, as Chief Executive Officer from February 2010 through November 2014 and as Chairman of the board of directors since November 2014, Mr. Zingale has been the director most capable of effectively identifying strategic priorities, leading critical discussion and executing our strategy and business plans, Mr. Zingale possesses detailed in-depth knowledge of the issues, opportunities, and challenges that have faced the company over the last several years. Ms. Steele, as our Chief Executive Officer and as our other inside director, provides valuable insight on the current issues affecting the company, as well as real-time perspectives on management's focus and desired strategies. Our independent directors bring experience, oversight and expertise from outside of the Company. Our board of directors believes that the current leadership structure of our board of directors provides effective independent oversight of management while allowing our board of directors and management to benefit from Mr. Zingale's years of experience in our business.
5
LEAD INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR
Our corporate governance guidelines provide that one of our independent directors should serve as a lead independent director at any time when the Chief Executive Officer serves as the Chairman of our board of directors, or if the Chairman is not otherwise independent. Because Mr. Zingale, our Chairman, is a non-independent director, we have an independent director serve as lead independent director. From April 2015 through May 2016, Mr. Lanfri served as our lead independent director. Effective from the commencement of our 2016 Annual Meeting, Mr. Robel has served as our lead independent director. As lead independent director, Mr. Robel presides over periodic meetings of our independent directors, serves as a liaison between our Chairman and the independent directors and performs such additional duties as our board of directors may otherwise determine and delegate.
EXECUTIVE SESSIONS OF INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS
In order to promote open discussion among independent directors, our board of directors has a policy of conducting executive sessions of independent directors during each regularly scheduled board meeting and at such other times if requested by an independent director. These executive sessions are chaired by our lead independent director. Ms. Steele and Mr. Zingale do not participate in such sessions unless specifically invited.
CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS
We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of our directors and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer or controller. The full text of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is posted under the “Investor Relations” section on our website at http://investor.jivesoftware.com.

The Compensation Committee operates under a written charter that was adopted by our board of directors and satisfies the applicable standards of the SEC and The Nasdaq Stock Market. A copy of our Compensation Committee Charter is available on our website at http://investor.jivesoftware.com.
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is currently comprised of Ms. Toledano and Messrs. Koen and Robel, with Mr. Robel serving as its Chair. On April 8, 2016, our board of directors appointed Mr. Koen to serve as a member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Mr. Lanfri also served as a member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee until May 20, 2016, when his tenure as a director ended.
The composition of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee meets the requirements for independence under the rules and regulations of The Nasdaq Stock Market. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee met four times during 2016.
Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for making recommendations regarding candidates for directorships, the size and composition of our board of directors and the compensation of our non-employee directors. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is also responsible for reviewing the composition of each of the committees of the board, making recommendations for the creation of additional committees or any change to the mandates of the committees or the dissolution of any committees. In addition, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for overseeing our corporate governance guidelines and reporting and making recommendations concerning governance matters.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee operates under a written charter that was adopted by our board of directors and satisfies the applicable standards of the SEC and The Nasdaq Stock Market.

CONSIDERATIONS IN EVALUATING DIRECTOR NOMINEES
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee uses a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating director nominees. Some of the qualifications that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers include, without limitation, issues of character, judgment, diversity, age, independence, industry and other expertise, corporate experience, length of service and understanding our business. Nominees must also have the ability to offer advice and guidance to our Chief Executive Officer based on past experience in positions with a high degree of responsibility and must be leaders in the companies or institutions with which they are affiliated. Director candidates must have sufficient time available in the judgment of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to perform all board of director and committee responsibilities. Members of our board of directors are expected to prepare for, attend, and participate in all board of director and applicable committee meetings. Other than the foregoing, there are no stated minimum criteria for director nominees, although the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may also consider such other factors as it may deem, from time to time, are in our and our stockholders’ best interests. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also seeks appropriate input from the Chief Executive Officer from time to time in assessing the needs of our board of directors for relevant background, experience, diversity and skills of its members.
Although our board of directors does not maintain a specific policy with respect to board diversity, our board of directors believes that our board of directors should be a diverse body, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers a broad range of backgrounds and experiences. In making determinations regarding nominations of directors, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may take into account the benefits of diverse viewpoints. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also considers these and other factors as it oversees the annual board of director and committee evaluations.

STOCKHOLDER RECOMMENDATIONS FOR NOMINATIONS TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider director candidates recommended by any of our stockholders so long as such recommendations and nominations comply with our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, amended and restated bylaws and applicable laws, rules and regulations, including those promulgated by the SEC and The Nasdaq Stock Market. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate such recommendations in accordance with its charter, our amended and restated bylaws and the regular nominee criteria described above. This process is designed to ensure that our board of directors includes members with diverse backgrounds, skills and experience, including appropriate financial and other expertise relevant to our business. Eligible stockholders wishing to recommend a candidate for nomination should contact our Secretary in writing and follow the procedures set forth in our amended and restated bylaws, as further described below. In connection with its evaluation of a director nominee, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may request additional information from the candidate or the recommending stockholder and may request an interview with the candidate. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has discretion to decide which individuals to recommend for nomination as directors.
A stockholder of record can nominate a candidate for election to our board of directors by complying with the procedures in Article II, Section 2.4 of our amended and restated bylaws. Any eligible stockholder who wishes to submit a nomination should review the requirements of our amended and restated bylaws on nominations by stockholders. Any nomination should be sent in writing to the Secretary, Jive Software, Inc., 300 Orchard City Drive, Suite 100, Campbell, California 95008.
RISK MANAGEMENT
Risk is inherent with every business and we face a number of risks, including strategic, financial, business and operational, legal and compliance and reputational. We have designed and implemented processes to manage risk in our operations. Management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risks the company faces, while, our board of directors, as a whole and assisted by its committees, has responsibility for the oversight of risk management. In its risk oversight role, our board of directors has the responsibility to satisfy itself that the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are appropriate and functioning as designed.
Our board of directors believes that open communication between management and our board of directors is essential for effective risk management and oversight. Our board of directors meets with our Chief Executive Officer and other members of the senior management team at board meetings at least quarterly, where, among other topics, they discuss strategy and risks facing the company.
While our board of directors is ultimately responsible for risk oversight, our board committees assist our board of directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities in certain areas of risk. The Audit Committee assists our board of directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to risk management in the areas of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, legal and regulatory compliance, and discusses with management and the independent auditor guidelines and policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management. The Audit Committee also reviews management’s assessment of the key risks facing us, including the key controls it relies on to mitigate those risks. The Audit Committee also monitors certain key risks at each of its regularly scheduled meetings, such as risk associated with internal control over financial reporting, liquidity risk, risk relating to compliance with loan covenants, and risk arising out of related party transactions. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assists our board of directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to the management of risk associated with board organization, membership and structure, and corporate governance. The Compensation Committee assesses risks created by the incentives inherent in our compensation policies. Finally, the full board of directors reviews strategic and operational risk in the context of reports from the management team, receives reports on all significant committee activities at each regular meeting, and evaluates the risks inherent in significant transactions.
STOCKHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Stockholders wishing to communicate with our board of directors or with an individual member of our board of directors may do so by writing to our board of directors or to the particular member of our board of directors, and mailing the correspondence to: c/o Secretary, Jive Software, Inc., 300 Orchard City Drive, Suite 100, Campbell, California 95008. The envelope should indicate that it contains a stockholder communication. All such stockholder communications will be forwarded to the director or directors to whom the communications are addressed.

NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews and makes recommendations to our board of directors on non-employee director compensation on a biennial basis. Upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, our board of directors adopted an outside director compensation policy that provides for the following compensation of our non-employee directors:
Initial Director Grants
• | an initial Restricted Stock Unit (RSU) grant with a target value of between $175,000 and $225,000 upon joining our board of directors; the value of which is determined by the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date. The RSUs will vest 25% on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date with the remaining shares vesting quarterly over the next eight quarters, provided the director’s service continues through each applicable vesting date; and |
• | an initial option grant with a target value of between $175,000 and $225,000 upon joining our board of directors; the value of which is determined by the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The options will vest 25% on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date with the remaining options vesting quarterly over the next eight quarters, provided the director’s service continues through each applicable vesting date. |
Annual Director Grants
After a director has completed at least one year of service, he or she will be granted awards on the date of the annual stockholders’ meeting as follows:
• | an annual RSU grant with a value of $175,000; |
• | an annual RSU grant with a value of $30,000, which may be payable in cash at the election of the director; |
• | an annual RSU grant with a value of $15,000 for the Lead Independent Director, which may be payable in cash at the election of the director; |
• | an annual RSU grant with a value of $20,000 for the Chair of the Audit Committee, $15,000 for the Chair of the Compensation Committee and $7,500 for the Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee; and |
• | an annual RSU grant with a value of $10,000 for serving on the Audit Committee, $7,500 for serving on the Compensation Committee and $5,000 for serving on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. |
All annual grants will vest as to 25% over four quarters following the grant date and the value of the grants will be determined by the trailing 30-day average of the stock price of our common stock as of the grant date.
Directors who are employees do not receive any compensation for their service on our board of directors. We have a policy of reimbursing directors for travel, lodging and other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with their attendance at board or committee meetings.

Non-Employee Director Stock Ownership Guidelines
We recognize the value that non-employee director stock ownership has in aligning our board members' interests with those of our stockholders. We maintain a stock ownership policy, which we implemented in 2013, by which our non-employee directors are requested to hold ownership of vested shares of common stock in an amount equal to three times their annual cash compensation to be achieved within five years after January 1, 2013, or their election to our board of directors, whichever is later.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
None of the members of our Compensation Committee is, or has at any time during the past year been, an officer or employee of ours. None of our executive officers currently serve, or in the past year has served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any other entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our board of directors or Compensation Committee.
SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, requires that our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock, file reports of ownership and changes of ownership with the SEC. Such directors, executive officers and 10% stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based solely on a review of the reports furnished to us and written representations from reporting persons that all reportable transaction were reported, we believe that, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, our officers, directors and greater than 10% owners timely filed all reports they were required to file under Section 16(a); except that in May 2016, Mr. Darcy filed
10
a late Form 4 covering the grant of RSUs under the outside director compensation plan. The late filing did not result in any liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Overview
This compensation discussion and analysis provides an overview of our executive compensation philosophy, the overall objectives of our executive compensation program and each material component of compensation that we provide to our named executive officers (the "NEOs").
Our NEOs for 2016 are:
• | Elisa Steele, Chief Executive Officer; |
• | Bryan LeBlanc, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer; |
• | Ofer Ben-David, Executive Vice President, Engineering; |
• | Jeff Lautenbach, President Worldwide Field Operations; and |
• | David Puglia, Executive Vice President, Chief Marketing Officer. |
This compensation discussion and analysis also analyzes how and why the Compensation Committee arrived at the specific compensation decisions for our executives, including NEOs, with respect to 2016 compensation, and discusses the key factors that the Compensation Committee considered in determining compensation.
All executive compensation decisions are approved by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee designed our executive compensation program to be weighted toward rewarding performance that meets or exceeds established financial goals that it believes, if achieved, would result in increased stockholder value. We expect our Compensation Committee to continue to review, evaluate and modify our executive compensation framework.
Executive Summary
Fiscal 2016 Financial and Business Highlights
We provide products that improve business results by enabling a more productive and effective workforce through enhanced communications and collaboration both inside and outside the enterprise. Organizations deploy our products to improve their level of engagement, quality of interaction and overall relationship with their employees, customers and partners. Our traditional enterprise software product offerings, based on the Jive platform (the "Jive Platform"), are provided to customers as cloud-based, hosted or on-premise solutions. Our products are primarily offered on a subscription basis and can be used for internal or external communities. We generate revenues from product subscription license fees as well as from professional services fees for strategic consulting, configuration, implementation and training.
In 2016, we achieved the following financial and business results:
• | recorded total revenues of $204.1 million, a 4% increase compared to our 2015 total revenues; |
• | recorded short-term billings of $199.8 million, which was a slight increase compared to our 2015 short-term billings; |
• | we were ranked as a Leader in the Forrester Wave: Enterprise Collaboration, Q4 2016 report, which analyzed the state of the market and evaluated nine of the most significant vendors. As one of four leaders in this evaluation, we received the highest possible score in the "innovation and market approach" criterion; and |
• | we received sponsorship from an existing customer for the Federal Risk and Authorization Program, or FedRAMP "in process" certification program. |
Fiscal 2016 Executive Compensation Highlights
Consistent with our emphasis on rewarding for performance, we took the following actions during fiscal 2016 with respect to NEO compensation:
• | Performance-Based Options. We granted performance-based options to our executive officers, including our NEOs, that are eligible to vest over a four-year period only if our share price remains at or above certain levels before the end of the period. These levels were designed to be aggressive and require focus and collaboration across executive team in order to achieve full vesting. This design is intended to further enhance the link between our executive and stockholder interests. |
• | No Base Salary Increases. We did not make adjustments to the base salary for any NEO in 2016, determining that the existing salary levels were competitive. |
12
• | Annual Cash Incentive. We increased annual cash incentives for certain NEOs to reflect competitive market conditions and provide additional incentives, and designed our 2016 executive bonus plan to focus on revenue and company expense, two key metrics for the growth and sustainability of our business. |
We also maintain sound governance standards consistent with our executive compensation philosophy and objectives, which were in effect during 2016:
• | Independent Compensation Committee. All executive compensation decisions are made by the compensation committee, which is comprised of independent directors. |
• | No "Single-Trigger" Change of Control Arrangements. All change of control payments and benefits are based on a "double-trigger" arrangement requiring both a change of control of our company and an involuntary termination of employment before payments and benefits are paid. |
• | Limit All Other Compensation. We limit all other compensation to our NEOs. For example, we do not have executive perquisites, such as club memberships or financial planning services. |
• | Policy Against Hedging and Pledging. Our Insider Trading Compliance Policy prohibits members of our board of directors and our executive officers from engaging in short sales, short-term trading, short-term or speculative transactions giving the insider the ability to profit from a decline in our stock price, transactions involving derivative securities relating to our common stock, such as trades in puts or calls, and hedging transactions. |
• | No Tax Reimbursements. We do not provide any tax reimbursement payments (including "gross-ups") on any severance or change-in-control payments or benefits. |
• | Stock Ownership Guidelines. We maintain stock ownership guidelines for the NEOs that require each to beneficially own a specified number of shares of our common stock. |
Executive Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
Philosophy
The overall market for enterprise collaboration platform and product solutions continues to rapidly evolve and remain highly competitive. This market is subject to changing technology, shifting customer needs and frequent introductions of new products and services. We currently compete with large, well-established multi-solution enterprise software vendors, enterprise software application providers who are adding social features to their existing applications, and smaller specialized software vendors. Our ability to compete and succeed in this environment is directly correlated to our ability to recruit, incentivize and retain skilled and talented individuals to form an executive team characterized by a high level of sales, marketing, product, engineering, operations and financial expertise. Our executive compensation program reflects a pay-for-performance philosophy primarily designed to attract and reward proven and talented leaders who possess the skills and experience necessary to create long-term value for our stockholders, achieve our goals for topline revenue growth and profitability, expand our business and assist in the achievement of our strategic goals. The total compensation received by our NEOs varies based on individual and corporate performance, which reflects our pay-for-performance philosophy. Our executive compensation program also permits us to recognize and reward individual achievements within the framework of our overarching goals and objectives.

Our executive compensation program also is designed to recognize and reward individual achievements within the framework of our overarching goals and objectives.
Objectives
The primary goals of our executive compensation program are to:
• | recruit and retain talented and experienced individuals who develop, implement and deliver on short-term and long-term value-creation strategies; |
• | provide a fixed component of pay (base salary) that the Compensation Committee believes is reasonable and competitive for our company size, industry and location; |
• | align the interests of our executive officers and stockholders; |
• | emphasize a performance-based aspect of compensation that rewards both corporate and individual achievement of financial performance metrics; and |
• | retain flexibility to review our compensation structure periodically as needed to focus on different business objectives. |
13
Design
Our executive compensation program has historically been heavily weighted towards equity in the form of stock options and RSUs. Our Compensation Committee believes this structure helps to align our executives' interests with the long-term interests of our stockholders by driving achievement of our strategic and financial goals, which, over time, is reflected in the value of our common stock. We traditionally have granted a mix of stock options and RSUs. In 2016 we granted a mix of time-based RSUs in an effort to provide incentives for meeting our goals in both the short- and long-term. The performance-based options provide value to our NEOs only if our share price remains at or above certain, prescribed levels over a pre-determined period thereby enhancing the link between the interests of our executives and stockholders.
We continually review the mix of equity that we grant our executive officers to better align with the practices of our peers, further align our executives with the long-term interests of our stockholders and monitor the overall dilution resulting from our equity compensation programs.
To maintain a competitive compensation program in 2016, we provided cash compensation to our executive officers in the form of base salaries and annual cash bonuses tied to achievement of financial performance metrics. Base salaries compensate our executive officers for their day-to-day responsibilities and short-term (annual) incentive awards are meant to drive excellence and leadership and reward our executives for achievement of our short- and long-term financial objectives.
We review executive compensation at least annually. As part of this review process, we consider the levels of compensation that we are willing to pay to ensure that our compensation remains competitive, whether we are meeting our retention objectives in light of market dynamics and any other factors currently affecting retention at the time of such review and the cost to us if we were required to find a replacement for a key executive or employee.
Our Compensation-Setting Process
The initial compensation arrangements with our executive officers, including the NEOs, resulted from arm’s-length negotiations between us and each individual executive at the time of his or her hire. The board of directors or the Compensation Committee was primarily responsible for overseeing and approving the negotiation of these arrangements based on recommendations from the executive team, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief People Officer, and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Except with respect to her own compensation, our Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Steele, makes recommendations regarding compensation matters for each NEO, including with respect to each key element of compensation (i.e., base salary, annual bonus and equity-based awards).
Pursuant to its charter, the Compensation Committee is responsible for reviewing, evaluating and approving the compensation arrangements of our executive officers and for establishing and maintaining our executive compensation policies and practices. The Compensation Committee establishes the compensation for our executive officers, including our NEOs and, when appropriate, certain other employees. For additional information on the Compensation Committee, see “Committees of the Board of Directors - Compensation Committee” elsewhere in this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A.
The Compensation Committee is authorized to retain the services of one or more executive compensation advisors from time to time, as it sees fit, in connection with carrying out its duties and oversight of our executive compensation program. In 2016, the Compensation Committee retained Radford to serve as its advisor with respect to its compensation programs, including advising on the market compensation environment, appropriate peer companies and compensation trends. Specifically, in 2016 Radford was engaged to:
• | provide recommendations to any changes to the compensation peer group of companies to serve as a basis for assessing competitive compensation practices; |
• | review and assess our current executive and director compensation programs relative to market to determine any changes that may need to be implemented in order to remain competitive with our compensation peer group; |
• | assess the competitiveness of the compensation program against the approved peer companies taking into consideration salary, incentives, equity and other benefits; |
• | provide guidance on overall equity activities relative to market; and |
• | participate in and advise on general compensation risk review of our compensation practices. |
Representatives of Radford attend Compensation Committee meetings when they are invited (including in executive sessions without the presence of management), review meeting materials, and provide advice to the Compensation Committee upon its request.
In addition to the work that Radford performed for our Compensation Committee with respect to executive compensation, Radford provided management with guidance in the establishment of non-executive compensation as well. Although Radford advised management with respect to non-executive compensation, it reported to the Compensation Committee with respect to executive
14
compensation matters. In 2016, the Compensation Committee considered and assessed all relevant factors, including those set forth in Rule 10C-1(b)(4)(i) through (vi) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that could give rise to a potential conflict of interest with respect to Radford’s work. Based on this review, we are not aware of any conflict of interest that has been raised by work performed by Radford.
Our Compensation Committee regularly seeks input from our Chief Executive Officer and other members of our executive team, when discussing the performance and compensation of the other NEOs, as well as during the process of searching for and negotiating compensation packages with new senior management hires. No executive officer is present during deliberations or voting on his or her compensation. The Compensation Committee also coordinates with our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer in determining the financial and accounting implications of our compensation programs and hiring decisions.
We seek to establish compensation practices and levels that align with the practices of companies in our compensation peer group. Each year, the Compensation Committee, with Radford’s assistance, identifies a compensation peer group of publicly traded companies to include in our compensation peer group. The Compensation Committee intends to continue to review the companies included in the compensation peer group and the selection criteria annually and will make changes in connection with mergers and acquisitions and based on changes in the marketplace. In determining the appropriate level and form of compensation for 2016, the Compensation Committee reviewed market data relating to the cash and equity compensation from a specific set of peer companies comprised of publicly-held software companies. The Compensation Committee reviewed and considered the peer data presented by Radford.
The following companies comprised the compensation peer group for compensation purposes in 2016:
Bazaarvoice | Broadsoft |
Callidus Software | Carbonite |
Castlight Health | Ellie Mae |
HubSpot | Imperva |
Infoblox | IntraLinks Holdings |
LivePerson | LogMeln |
Marin Software | MobileIron |
Model N | Proofpoint |
Qualys | RingCentral |
ServiceSource International | Tangoe |
Telenav |
In updating the compensation peer group for 2016 from the previous 2015 peer group, the Compensation Committee removed Cornerstone OnDemand, Marketo, RealPage and Rocket Fuel and added Carbonite, Castlight Health, Marin Software, MobileIron, Tangoe and Telenav.
The compensation peer group was determined using the following criteria:
• | publicly traded software companies located in technology hubs or high cost of living areas; |
• | annual revenues generally between $100 million and $450 million; |
• | companies with comparable growth, as demonstrated by historical revenue; and |
• | companies with market capitalization between $200 million and $2 billion. |
Due to the competitive nature for talent in our industry, we may include companies that do not fit these criteria if we believe that we are directly competing with such companies for executive talent.
The companies included in the compensation peer group differ from those listed in the indices used to prepare our stock price performance graph, which can be found in Item 5 of our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Compensation Committee found that, based on input from management and Radford, the companies listed in the compensation peer group more closely represent the labor markets in which we compete for executive talent.
Impact of 2016 Stockholder Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation
In May 2016, we conducted a non-binding advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers, commonly referred to as a "say-on-pay" vote, at our 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Our stockholders voted to approve the compensation of the named executive officers, with approximately 70% of the votes cast in favor of our executive compensation program.
15
The Compensation Committee evaluated our executive compensation policies and practices throughout 2016 and determined we should maintain the compensation philosophy and objectives from prior years and retain our general approach to executive compensation. As noted herein, the Compensation Committee decided to place a greater emphasis on pay for performance by granting performance-based stock options to our executive officers that only vest if our share price is at or above certain pre-determined levels during the four-year vesting period.
Elements of Our Executive Compensation Program
The four key elements of our compensation package for NEOs are:
• | on-target earnings, made up of base salary and variable incentive compensation; |
• | equity-based awards; |
• | our broad-based employee benefits program; and |
• | severance and change-of-control benefits. |
For our President of Worldwide Field Operations, Jeff Lautenbach, variable incentive compensation includes a sales commission plan.
In 2016, we targeted total target direct compensation to the median percentile of our compensation peer group: however, we retained flexibility to set compensation at levels we believe are appropriate for our business taking into account the factors described herein. We sought to design each NEOs compensation to include a combination of fixed and at-risk compensation that is tied to achievement of our short- and long-term objectives and rewards performance that meets or exceeds established goals.
On-Target Earnings - Base Salary and Variable Incentive Compensation
Total cash compensation for our NEOs is measured by their on-target earnings, which generally is comprised of base salary plus the performance bonus opportunities. In addition, for Mr. Lautenbach, who is a sales executive, on target earnings included base salary and his sales commission plan. For Mr. Lautenbach, sales commissions were considered to be the primary motivational tool for achieving company goals.
Base Salary
We offer base salaries to provide stable fixed compensation to executives for performance of day-to-day services. The initial base salary for each NEO was established as the result of arm’s-length negotiation with the individual at the time of hiring, and is generally reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee, with input from our Chief Executive Officer (except with respect to her base salary) to determine whether an adjustment is warranted. Adjustments to base salary are made after taking into account the executive’s performance and responsibilities, the salary range for comparable positions within our compensation peer group, the individual’s qualifications and experience, and such other factors as the Compensation Committee deems relevant. After reviewing these factors, the Compensation Committee determined not to make any adjustments to any of the NEO's base salary in 2016.
Base salaries for our NEOs were as follows:
Name | 2015 Annual Base Salary | 2016 Annual Base Salary | Percentage Increase | |||||||
Elisa A. Steele | $500,000 | $500,000 | 0 | % | ||||||
Bryan J. LeBlanc | $400,000 | $400,000 | 0 | % | ||||||
Ofer Ben-David | $350,000 | $350,000 | 0 | % | ||||||
Jeff Lautenbach | $400,000 | $400,000 | 0 | % | ||||||
David Puglia | $300,000 | $300,000 | 0 | % |
The actual base salaries paid to the NEOs during 2016 are set forth in the Summary Compensation Table below.
Variable Incentive Compensation
Our Compensation Committee adopted an annual cash bonus plan for 2016 to reward the performance of our executive officers in achieving our financial and strategic objectives. Mr. Lautenbach does not participate in this cash bonus plan but instead was eligible to earn incentive compensation under a sales commission plan as described below. Our Compensation Committee believes it is appropriate and consistent with our compensation peer group to provide cash incentives to Mr. Lautenbach, our top sales executive, our top sales executive, under a separate commission plan in order to drive sales.
16
Our Compensation Committee established an annual target bonus amount for 2016 that is expressed as a percentage of base salary for each of our NEOs other than Mr. Lautenbach. In 2016, the Compensation Committee, after taking into account the recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer, individual past and expected future performance, retention concerns, and the importance of the executive for executing on our strategic goals, increased the target bonus opportunities for Messrs. LeBlanc and Ben-David by 25%. Additionally, the Compensation Committee, after taking into consideration individual past and expected future performance, retention concerns, and the importance of the Ms. Steele’s leadership in executing on our strategic goals, increased the target bonus opportunity for Ms. Steele by 25%. These increases were designed to place a greater emphasis on performance-based compensation with respect to these NEOs' 2016 total target cash compensation opportunities. Our Compensation Committee also considered that no increases were made to these NEOs' 2016 base salaries.
Target bonus amounts for our NEOs were as follows:
Name | 2015 Annual Target Bonus | 2016 Annual Target Bonus | Percentage Increase | |||||||
Elisa A. Steele | $375,000 | $500,000 | 25 | % | ||||||
Bryan J. LeBlanc | $200,000 | $300,000 | 25 | % | ||||||
Ofer Ben-David | $175,000 | $262,500 | 25 | % | ||||||
Jeff Lautenbach | $400,000 | $400,000 | 0 | % | ||||||
David Puglia | $150,000 | $150,000 | 0 | % |
Under terms of the annual cash bonus plan, each NEO, other than Mr. Lautenbach, was entitled to earn a bonus at the end of the fiscal year that would vary in size depending on our success in meeting certain performance targets, subject to thresholds below target and maximums above target. For purposes of the 2016 bonus plan, the Compensation Committee established two financial measures. The target bonus amount, which was equivalent to a payout at 100%, was set based on achieving target financial goals. No bonus payout for a particular performance metric would be earned unless the performance threshold for that metric was met, and the bonus payout would be weighted for achievement between the bonus thresholds and targets. It is our philosophy to place a significant portion of the total on target earnings at risk and directly dependent upon the achievement of performance goals. Consistent with this philosophy, our Compensation Committee believes that variable incentive compensation should potentially equal or slightly exceed base salary when corporate performance exceeds the target goals. The methodology is set forth below and in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table.
Mr. Lautenbach’s sales compensation plan was based on bookings-related metrics, including new business, renewals, and professional services. We have not disclosed the specific formula or metrics targets for several reasons, including our belief that disclosure would result in competitive harm. The specific targets for new business, renewals and professional services for Mr. Lautenbach were established by our Compensation Committee, taking into account the board approved plan for fiscal 2016 and with input from our Chief Executive Officer. If the targets under his sales commission plan were achieved, he would receive commissions equal to his target bonus amount, and his commissions can increase up to a maximum of $800,000, based on achievement of certain bookings-related metrics.
These targets were based on our historical operating results and growth rates, as well as our expected future results, and were designed to require significant effort on the part of Mr. Lautenbach. If the targets were disclosed, we believe the information would provide competitors with insights into our operations and sales compensation programs that would be harmful to us. The Compensation Committee believed that Mr. Lautenbach’s annual incentive structure was appropriate because it would drive sales and profitability.
Corporate Performance Measures
For the 2016 executive cash bonus plan, our Compensation Committee established two performance measures: the annual company plan revenue target and annual company non-GAAP expense target (weighted 60% and 40%, respectively). These financial metrics were selected because the Compensation Committee and our Chief Executive Officer felt they achieved the appropriate balance between top line growth and our ability to manage our operational expenses.
For the 2016 executive cash bonus plan to fund with respect to a particular performance measure, we had to achieve at least 80% of the target level performance resulting in a payout factor of 80% for that performance measure. If we achieved more than 80% of the target level performance for a plan performance measure, the payout factor increased by the same percentage as our percentage achievement of the plan performance measurement up to 100%. If we achieved more than 100% of the target level performance for a plan performance measure, the payout factor increased by doubling our percentage achievement of the plan performance measure up to a maximum of 150% payout factor for achievement of the plan performance measure of 125% or more.
17
2016 Bonus Determinations
In February 2017, our Compensation Committee reviewed our performance compared to the financial performance metrics in the fiscal year 2016 bonus plan. The Company successfully exceeded the revenue target and partially achieved the expense target. As a result, the Compensation Committee approved a payout factor under our cash bonus plan of 113.7%. We believe this outcome of paying bonuses only in the event of clear achievement of performance targets demonstrates our commitment to pay-for-performance and aligning our executives’ compensation with creation of stockholder value.
Mr. Lautenbach’s sales commissions were earned in 2016 and paid in 2017 based on achievement of plan targets for 2016 bookings-related metrics, as determined by our Compensation Committee with input from our CEO.
Corporate Performance Achievement for 2016
Plan Weight | Target (in millions) | Payout Factor | Payout % | Final Payout | |||||
Revenue | 60% | $199.4 | 125% | 75% | |||||
Expenses | 40% | $195.1 | 96.7% | 38.7% | |||||
Corporate performance achievement and executive bonus factored payout | 113.7% | 113.7% |
The bonus amount for each NEO (other than Mr. Lautenbach) was based on the achievement of the financial performance targets relating to 2016 revenue and expense.
The following bonuses were paid to our named executive officers for 2016 under the cash bonus program or sales commission plan, as applicable:
Actual Bonus Amount | |||||
Target Bonus as % of Base Salary | Total | % of Base Salary | |||
Elisa Steele | 100% | $568,500 | 113.7% | ||
Bryan LeBlanc | 75% | $341,100 | 85.3% | ||
Ofer Ben-David | 75% | $298,463 | 85.3% | ||
Jeff Lautenbach | 100% | $339,785 | 84.9% | ||
David Puglia | 50% | $170,550 | 56.9% |
Equity-Based Awards
We grant equity awards to motivate and reward our executive officers, including our NEOs, for achieving both short-term and long-term performance goals as reflected in the value of our common stock, which we believe aligns the interests of our executive officers with those of our stockholders and our long-term growth objectives. Annual equity awards are a staple component of our executive compensation program.
Our Compensation Committee believes that granting equity to management is beneficial in aligning management and stockholder interests by focusing executives on increasing stockholder value, which, in turn, increases the ultimate value of the awards. The sizes and types of awards that have historically been granted to newly-hired executive officers have not been determined based on a specific formula, but rather on a combination of our board of directors’ or Compensation Committee’s discretionary judgment regarding the appropriate level of compensation for the position, the need to fill a particular position, and the negotiation process with the particular individual involved. Since February 2010, we have also solicited input from Radford, which has provided its assessment regarding equity-based awards for new executives, as well as provided guidelines for annual grants.
In 2016, the Compensation Committee evaluated a number of factors to determine grants of equity awards to the executive officers, including recommendations from our Chief Executive Officer, individual executive performance and contribution over the past twelve months, and the equity compensation practices of our compensation peer group. The Compensation Committee granted a blend of performance-based stock options and RSUs. Our goal was to reward the achievement of short term and long-term goals, provide a powerful retention tool and minimize the impact on dilution. Stock options and RSUs are designed to increase stockholder value and reward achievement of our long-term strategic goals since the value of the stock options and RSUs are directly related to the future value of our common stock.
18
To determine the size of the awards, the Compensation Committee evaluated the total value of the equity grant against the median percentile of the long-term equity incentive compensation from our compensation peer group. The Compensation Committee’s decision in allocating equity-based incentives among two different forms of equity is intended to provide a blended mix of incentives aligned with stockholders’ interests that will incentivize and retain the executives.
Options, when granted with exercise prices equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the grant date, provide an appropriate long-term incentive for our executive officers, since the options have value only if our stock price grows and stockholders realize value following their grant date. In addition, adding the performance-based component to these option grants furthers our intention to reward executives for accomplishing our objectives and meeting our goals both in the short and long term. The performance metrics for our 2016 executive option grants were market-based and intended to provide an additional layer of achievement before our executives could receive value of these awards. These options only vest and become exercisable if we achieve certain price targets as set forth below on or before the fourth anniversary of the grant date:
Percent Vested | Weighted Average Trading Price* | |||
25 | % | $4.58 | ||
25 | % | $5.28 | ||
25 | % | $5.98 | ||
25 | % | $6.69 |
* The "weighted average trading price" is based on a 30-day weighted average trading price of our common stock calculated by multiplying the closing trading price on each of the preceding 30 days by the trading volume on each such day and dividing that total by the total aggregate trading volume over the preceding 30-day period.
RSUs help us to retain our executive officers and reward them for long-term stock price appreciation while providing retention because there is value to the recipient even if the market price of our common stock declines below the market price on the grant date. These RSUs will vest in equal quarterly installments over 2.75 years with the first vesting event occurring on the first business day on or after August 16, 2016, subject to each NEOs continued service through each such date.
See the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table for the Year Ended December 31, 2016” below for information regarding stock-based award grants to the NEOs during 2016.
Broad-Based Employee Benefits Programs
Our executive officers are entitled to participate in the same employee benefit plans, and on the same terms and conditions, as all other United States full-time employees. Our employee benefits programs, including our employee stock purchase plan, 401(k) plan and health, dental, vision and short-term disability programs, are designed to provide a competitive level of benefits to our employees, including our NEOs and/or their families. We adjust our employee benefits programs as needed based upon regular monitoring of applicable laws and practices and the competitive market.
We have established a tax-qualified Section 401(k) retirement savings plan for all of our employees, subject to standard eligibility requirements. Under this plan, participants may elect to make pre-tax contributions to the plan of up to a certain portion of their compensation, not to exceed the applicable statutory income tax limitation.
Post-Employment Compensation
The terms and conditions of employment for each of our NEOs are set forth in their respective offer letter agreements. See “Employment Agreements, Offer Letters and Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-of-Control” below for more information on these agreements. These agreements and/or applicable equity award documents provide for certain benefits in the event of the NEO's termination of employment under specified circumstances or upon a change of control. We believe that in some cases our extension of these post-employment and change of control benefits was necessary in order to induce these individuals to forego other competitive opportunities that were available to them. We also believe that these benefits help our executives maintain continued focus and dedication to their responsibilities to help maximize stockholder value if there is a potential transaction that could involve a change of control.
19
Other Compensation Policies
Stock Ownership Guidelines
We recognize the value that executive stock ownership has in aligning management’s interests with those of our stockholders. We maintain a stock ownership policy by which our NEOs are requested to hold a set percentage of common stock in an amount representing a multiple of base salary within a certain period of time.
Our current stock ownership requirements as implemented in 2013 are set forth below:
• | CEO - ownership of vested shares equal to 3x base cash compensation to be achieved within 5 years after January 1, 2013, or date of acceptance of position, whichever is later; |
• | CFO - ownership of vested shares equal to 1x base cash compensation within 5 years after January 1, 2013, or date of acceptance of position, whichever is later; and |
• | Other NEOs - ownership of vested shares equal to 1x base cash compensation to be achieved within five years after January 1, 2014, or date of acceptance of position, whichever is later. |
Hedging and Pledging Policies
Our insider trading policy prohibits our Section 16 officers and members of our board of directors from derivative securities transactions, including hedging, with respect to our common stock and from pledging company securities as collateral or holding company securities in a margin account.
Tax and Accounting Considerations
Deductibility of Executive Compensation
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) limits the amount that we may deduct from our federal income taxes for remuneration paid to certain executive officers excluding the Chief Financial Officer, to one million dollars per executive officer per year, unless certain requirements are met. Section 162(m) provides an exception from this deduction limitation for certain forms of “performance-based compensation,” as well as for the gain recognized by executive officers upon the exercise of qualifying compensatory stock options. While our Compensation Committee is mindful of the benefit to us of the full deductibility of compensation and considers deductibility when analyzing potential compensation alternatives, our Compensation Committee believes that it should not be constrained by the requirements of Section 162(m) where those requirements would impair flexibility in compensating our executive officers in a manner that can best promote our corporate objectives. Therefore, our Compensation Committee has not adopted a policy that requires that all compensation be deductible.
Taxation of “Parachute” Payments and Deferred Compensation
We did not provide any executive officer, including any NEO, with a “gross-up” or other reimbursement payment for any tax liability that he or she might owe as a result of the application of Sections 280G, 4999, or 409A of the Code during 2016, and we have not agreed and are not otherwise obligated to provide any NEOs with such a “gross-up” or other reimbursement. Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code provide that executive officers and directors who hold significant equity interests and certain other service providers may be subject to an excise tax if they receive payments or benefits in connection with a change of control that exceeds certain prescribed limits, and that the company, or a successor, may forfeit a deduction on the amounts subject to this additional tax. Section 409A of the Code also imposes additional significant taxes on the individual in the event that an executive officer, director or other service provider receives “deferred compensation” that does not meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.
Accounting Treatment
We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with the authoritative guidance, which requires companies to measure the compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, including stock options, based on the grant date “fair value” of these awards. This calculation is performed for accounting purposes and reported in the compensation tables below, even though our executive officers may never realize any value from their awards. Authoritative accounting guidance also requires companies to recognize the compensation cost of their stock-based compensation awards in their income statements over the period that the recipient is required to render service in exchange for the option or other award.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT
The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, included in this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A, with management and, based on such review and discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to our board of directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A.
Submitted by the Compensation Committee of the board of directors:

COMPANY COMPENSATION POLICIES AND PRACTICES, RISK ANALYSIS
The Compensation Committee and the full board of directors considered whether our compensation policies and practices, and, in particular, our variable performance compensation plans, incent participants to take increased risks, which could reasonably result in a material adverse effect to us. The board of directors and Compensation Committee concluded that these plans and their elements, policies and practices do not create an incentive to take unreasonable risks that could result in material adverse effects on us. In reaching this conclusion, our board of directors and Compensation Committee members noted the following:
• | Our incentive plans focus on key performance metrics, which are less susceptible to manipulation or being favorably influenced by risk-taking activity. |
• | We do not engage in any derivative transactions, forward or futures contracts or other “bet-the-company” contracts. |
• | A meaningful component of compensation is equity grants with extended vesting periods designed to ensure that our long-term prosperity is an important goal of participants. |
COMPENSATION RECOVERY POLICIES
The Compensation Committee has not yet adopted a policy with respect to making retroactive adjustments to any cash or equity-based incentive compensation paid to our NEOs or other employees where the payment was based on the achievement of financial results that were subsequently revised. The Compensation Committee intends to adopt a general compensation recovery policy after the SEC adopts final rules implementing the requirements of Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

Auditor Independence
In 2016, there were no other professional services provided by KPMG that would have required the Audit Committee to consider their compatibility with maintaining the independence of KPMG.
Audit Committee Policy on Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Consistent with requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) regarding auditor independence, our Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of our independent registered public accounting firm. In recognition of this responsibility, our Audit Committee has established a policy for the pre-approval of all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services.
Before engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm for the next year’s audit, the independent registered public accounting firm will submit a detailed description of services expected to be rendered during that year for each of the following categories of services to the Audit Committee for approval:
• | Audit services. Audit services include work performed for the audit of our financial statements and the review of financial statements included in our quarterly reports, as well as work that is normally provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in connection with statutory and regulatory filings. |
• | Audit related services. Audit related services are for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not covered above under “audit services.” |
• | Tax services. Tax services include all services performed by the independent registered public accounting firm’s tax personnel for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning. |
• | Other services. Other services are those services not described in the other categories. |
The Audit Committee generally pre-approves particular services or categories of services on a case-by-case basis. The fees are budgeted and the Audit Committee requires the independent registered public accounting firm and management to report actual fees versus budgeted fees periodically throughout the year by category of service. During the year, circumstances may arise when it may become necessary to engage the independent registered public accounting firm for additional services not contemplated in the original pre-approval. In those instances, the services must be pre-approved by the Audit Committee before the independent registered public accounting firm is engaged.
