Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On a Form 8-K filed on May 8, 2006 (the "May 8-K"), RF Micro Devices, Inc. (the "Company") disclosed a new compensation structure for its non-employee directors. This new compensation structure remains unchanged from the description in the May 8-K except for a revision to the post-termination exercise provision applicable to Initial Options and Annual Options granted under the 2006 Directors Stock Option Plan (the "New Directors Plan"), which was unanimously approved on June 14, 2006 by the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors (the "Board") of the Company and remains subject to shareholder approval at the Company's 2006 annual meeting of shareholders that is scheduled to be held on August 1, 2006. The revised post-termination exercise provision is described below. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the May 8-K.
Under the currently effective Nonemployee Directors' Stock Option Plan and as disclosed in the May 8-K, if a non-employee director terminates service on the Board for any reason, he may generally exercise the vested portion of an Initial Option or Annual Option until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the 24-month period following the date of such termination of service, or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Initial Option or Annual Option.
Under the New Directors Plan (subject to requisite shareholder approvals), a non-employee director generally would be permitted to exercise vested Initial Options or vested Annual Options at any time during the 10-year term of the respective option, including after termination of service. Any unvested portions would terminate as of the non-employee director's date of termination. However, if the services of a non-employee director are terminated for cause, his Initial Options and Annual Options (whether vested or unvested) would lapse and no longer be exercisable as of the date of termination.
