Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On May 4, 2010, the Compensation Committee (and the independent members of the Board of Directors with respect to the CEO) of Imation Corp. (the “Company” or “Imation”) approved the grant of performance-based long-term incentive equity compensation for executive officers in the form of shares of restricted stock. The restricted stock will vest only if certain levels of 2010 operating income are met which were defined and set by the Board of Directors in connection with the 2010 Annual Bonus Plan. If the Company meets the threshold level of operating income, 50% of the restricted stock will vest, with a vesting schedule of 25% per year on each anniversary date of the date of grant, beginning May 4, 2011, and the remaining 50% of the restricted stock shall be forfeited. If the Company meets or exceeds the target level of operating income, 100% of the restricted stock will vest, with a vesting schedule of 25% per year on each anniversary date of the date of grant, beginning May 4, 2011. The principal executive officer, principal financial officer and named executive officers received restricted stock grants as follows: Mark Lucas: 76,450 shares; Paul Zeller: 27,027 shares; James Ellis: 9,009 shares; and John Sullivan: 18,018 shares. These grants were in addition to approved grants of standard time based equity to executives, which, as was done in 2009, were reduced 40% from the peer group and market data median reference points for long-term incentive equity compensation.
Item 5.03. Amendment to Articles of Incorportion or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
On May 5, 2010, the Board of Directors approved certain amendments to Imation’s bylaws. The amendments make minor procedural changes in the conduct of annual and special shareholder meetings and special meetings of the Board of Directors. More specifically, the amendments add language to make the following changes:
    Allow the Chairman to adjourn a shareholder meeting in the absence of a quorum, in addition to majority vote of the shareholders.
 
    Allow the Chairman or majority vote of shareholders to adjourn a shareholder meeting. The existing bylaws did not provide a procedure for adjourning meetings.
 
    Allow electronic delivery of notice of annual or special shareholder meetings in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules, in addition to mail.
 
    Clarify that a shareholder proposal appropriately brought under SEC rules is part of the business of the meeting.
 
    Clarify that the advance notice provision does not apply to shareholder proposals appropriately brought under SEC rules (which have their own procedural requirements).
 
    Clarify that the same nomination procedures for directors for the annual meeting of shareholders apply to special meetings where directors are to be elected.
The changes described above are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Bylaws, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
