On November 7, 2007, Power Integrations held its 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. At the annual meeting, the stockholders approved the Power Integrations, Inc. 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”). The 2007 Plan is an amendment and restatement of the Power Integrations, Inc. 1997 Stock Option Plan (the “1997 Plan”). As a result of the approval of the 2007 Plan, all stock awards granted after November 7, 2007 will be subject to the terms of the 2007 Plan. The approval of the 2007 Plan did not increase the number of shares that may be issued pursuant to the 1997 Plan, but rather expanded the types of awards that may be issued.
Previously, the 1997 Plan provided that only stock options could be issued pursuant to the 1997 Plan. Under the terms of the 2007 Plan, stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock unit awards, stock appreciation rights, performance stock award and other forms of stock awards determined by the Board of Directors, may be granted.
A full description of the 2007 Plan may be found in the Power Integrations proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 5, 2007, and the full text of the 2007 Plan has been appended thereto. The description of the 2007 Plan above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the description and 2007 Plan as filed.
The 2007 Plan currently provides that: (i) if shares of common stock subject to a stock award are not delivered to a participant because such shares are withheld for the payment of taxes, (ii) a stock award is exercised through a reduction of shares subject to the stock award (i.e., “net exercised”), or (iii) an appreciation distribution in respect of a stock appreciation right is paid in shares of common stock, then the number of shares subject to the stock award that are not delivered to the participant will remain available for subsequent issuance under the 2007 Plan. In addition, the 2007 Plan currently provides that if the exercise price of any stock award is satisfied by tendering shares of common stock held by a participant (either by actual delivery or attestation), then the number of shares so tendered will remain available for issuance under the 2007 Plan.
On October 31, 2007, Power Integrations announced that it will amend the 2007 Plan to provide that: (i) if shares of common stock subject to a stock award are not delivered to a participant because such shares are withheld for the payment of taxes, (ii) a stock award is exercised through a reduction of shares subject to the stock award (i.e., “net exercised”), or (iii) an appreciation distribution in respect of a stock appreciation right is paid in shares of common stock, then the number of shares subject to the stock award that are not delivered to the participant will not remain available for subsequent issuance under the 2007 Plan. In addition, Power Integrations will amend the 2007 Plan to provide that if the exercise price of a stock award is satisfied by tendering shares of common stock held by a participant (either by actual delivery or attestation), then the number of shares so tendered will not remain available for issuance under the 2007 Plan.
| Item 5.03. | Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
On November 7, 2007, Power Integrations filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation amending its Certificate of Incorporation, which amendment was approved by the Power Integrations stockholders on November 7, 2007. The amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation removes the classified board structure, so that directors will be elected at each annual meeting. The amendment does not effect the terms of those directors whose terms currently extend beyond the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. As a result of the filing of the Certificate of Amendment, pursuant to a board action previously taken, the Power Integrations Bylaws were amended and restated on November 8, 2007 to remove the classified board structure from the Bylaws.
The Certificate of Amendment and the Bylaws, as amended and restated, are filed as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2 hereto, and the description of the Certificate of Amendment and the Bylaws above are qualified by reference to those documents as so filed.
