As further described in Item 5.07 below and incorporated by reference into this Item 5.02, the Company's shareholders approved the Quality Systems, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) at the Annual Meeting. The Plan was adopted by the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") on May 20, 2015, subject to shareholder approval.
The purpose of the Plan is to promote the success of the Company and the interests of its shareholders by providing an additional means for the Company to attract, motivate, retain and reward directors, officers, employees and other eligible persons through the grant of awards and incentives for high levels of individual performance and improved financial performance of the Company. Equity-based awards are also intended to further align the interests of award recipients and the Company’s shareholders.
The total shares subject to the Plan is the sum of: (1) 11,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, plus (2) any shares subject to outstanding stock awards granted under the Second Amended and Restated 2005 Stock Option Plan and Incentive Plan that from and after 12:01 a.m. Pacific time on May 26, 2015 (i) expire or terminate for any reason prior to exercise or settlement, (ii) are forfeited because of the failure to meet a contingency or condition required to vest such shares or repurchased at the original issuance price, or (iii) are reacquired, withheld (or not issued) to satisfy a tax withholding obligation in connection with an award other than a stock option or stock appreciation right, which results in a maximum of 13,562,881 shares available for award grants under the Plan.
Under the Plan, the Company continues to be able to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock bonuses and other forms of awards granted or denominated in the Company’s common stock or units of the Company’s common stock, as well as cash bonus awards, to officers or employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, directors of the Company, and certain consultants and advisors to the Company or any of its subsidiaries.
