| ITEM 8.01 | OTHER EVENTS |
On December 31, 2009, IBERIABANK Corporation (the “Company”) filed a Proxy Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to a Special Meeting of Shareholders (the “Proxy Statement”). In the Proxy Statement the Company submitted a proposal to approve the Company’s 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).
Reduction of Plan Shares
After giving consideration to comments from RiskMetrics Group Governance Services (“RMG”) and in order to facilitate approval of the Plan, on January 18, 2010, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) amended the Plan to (i) reduce the maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for issuance under the Plan from 600,000 shares to 500,000 shares, and (ii) limit to 250,000 common shares the maximum number of shares that the Company may issue as full value awards (i.e., awards, such as restricted stock awards, for which the recipient gets “full value” of the stock, rather than awards based on future appreciation in stock value, such as options).
Burn Rate Commitment
In order to minimize the dilutive impact on the Company’s existing shareholders of grants of equity-based awards, the Board has committed that, with respect to the 500,000 shares of common stock being reserved for issuance under the Plan, the average burn rate of equity awards will not exceed a three-year average of 2.18% through the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2012. The Company’s burn rate will be recalculated following the end of each fiscal year during this period.
Under RMG’s guidelines, excessive burn rates are generally defined as the greater of a company’s three-year average burn rate which exceeds the mean plus one standard deviation of the company’s four-digit Global Industry Classification Standard group’s three-year average burn rate; or the company’s three-year average burn rate exceeds ade minimisthreshold of 2%. Burn rate is calculated as the adjusted total number of equity grants made in a given year divided by the weighted common shares outstanding. The adjusted total number of equity grants is equal to the sum of the number of shares of the company’s common stock subject to options and other equity-based awards granted during the year as adjusted to reflect “full value”.
Additional Plan Information
The following table sets forth additional information regarding stock options to purchase the Company’s common stock outstanding as of December 28, 2009:
| Options (Outstanding) | Weighted Average Exercise Price (Per Share) | Weighted Average Remaining Years of Contractual Life | |||||
