2019 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

 

 

April 12, 2019

Dear Fellow Stockholders:

We are pleased to invite you to our 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which will take place on Thursday, May 30, 2019 at 9:00 AM, Eastern Time, at the offices of Latham & Watkins LLP, 200 Clarendon Street, 27th Floor, Boston, MA 02116. Annual Meetings play an important role in maintaining communications and understanding among our management, Board of Directors and stockholders.

On the pages following this letter you will find:

 

1)

The notice of our 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which lists the items of business to be considered at the Annual Meeting; and

 

2)

Our 2019 proxy materials, which describe the items of business listed in the notice and provide other information you will likely find useful in deciding how to cast your vote.

We have elected to provide our proxy materials over the Internet under the Securities and Exchange Commission’s “notice and access” rules. Consequently, most stockholders will not receive paper copies of our proxy materials. We will instead send to these stockholders a Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) with instructions for accessing the proxy materials, including our proxy statement and Annual Report to Stockholders, and for voting via the Internet. Providing our proxy materials to stockholders electronically allows us to conserve natural resources, consistent with our Social and Environmental Responsibility Principles, and reduce our printing and mailing costs related to the distribution of our proxy materials. If you wish to receive paper copies of our proxy materials you may do so by following the instructions contained in the Notice.

The ability to have your vote counted at the Annual Meeting is an important stockholder right. Regardless of the number of shares you hold or whether you plan to attend the meeting, we hope that you will promptly cast your vote. You may vote over the Internet, or, if you received printed proxy materials, by mailing a proxy or voting instruction card. Please review the instructions on each of your voting options described in our proxy statement, as well as in the Notice.

Thank you for your ongoing support and continued interest in LogMeIn.

Sincerely,

 

William R. Wagner

These books will also be available to stockholders for any such purpose at the Annual Meeting.

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, we urge you to cast your vote and submit your proxy as soon as possible by one of the methods below:

1.  Vote over the Internet. You may vote your shares by following the Internet voting instructions provided in the Notice you received. Please see the section of this proxy statement entitled “INFORMATION ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING AND VOTING — “How do I vote?” for additional information.

If you are a beneficial stockholder (that is, your shares are held in the name of a broker, bank or other holder of record), you will also need to obtain a “legal proxy” from the holder of record to vote at the Annual Meeting.

Our Business

LogMeIn simplifies how people connect with each other and the world around them to drive meaningful interactions, deepen relationships, and create better outcomes for individuals and businesses. A market leader in unified communications and collaboration, identity and access management, and customer engagement and support solutions, LogMeIn has millions of customers spanning virtually every country across the globe. We are headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts with additional locations in North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Australia.

We introduced our first cloud-based connectivity offering in 2004, which allowed users to securely connect to remote computer resources, including files, applications and the remote device itself. We have since used this scalable technology to expand the types of devices and data that can be connected, while introducing a variety of cloud-based offerings or applications designed to address the needs of today’s unified communications and collaboration, identity and access management, customer engagement and support markets.

In January 2017, we completed our acquisition of the GoTo family of service offerings, or the GoTo Business, from a wholly–owned subsidiary of Citrix Systems, Inc., or Citrix, which we refer to herein as the Merger. Following the completion of the Merger, our revenue grew to over $1 billion on an annualized basis in fiscal 2017 and we added over 1,600 employees. In April 2018, we completed our acquisition of Jive Communications, Inc., or Jive, a provider of cloud-based phone systems and unified communications services. Our acquisition of Jive added approximately 700 employees and revenue of approximately $78 million.

A New Era of Growth

In December 2017, we first outlined our strategy to move beyond our current markets and expand into three much larger, rapidly growing adjacent markets - Unified Communications and Collaboration, or UCC, Customer Engagement and Support, or CES, and Identity as a Service, or IDaaS. This strategy was centered around our belief that, by leveraging our leadership positions in online meetings, remote support and remote access as well as our scale, large customer base and our broad product portfolio of well-known brands, we were well-positioned to expand into these adjacent markets that together would significantly expand our market opportunities.  

 

 

LOGMEIN, INC.   5


 

2019 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

Proxy Statement Summary (continued)

 

 

We embarked on this strategy in 2018 by setting two key goals: (1) build or acquire the missing pieces needed to compete in these larger markets, and (2) validate and demonstrate our ability to capture share in these larger markets. Looking back on 2018, we believe we successfully achieved both of these goals as evidenced by the following:

In early 2018, we launched our first AI-powered offering in Bold360ai. Bold360ai was an instant success, helping to transform the way companies engage with their customers and yielding higher average contract values. In fact, in Q4 of 2018, this AI technology helped us close the same number of six-figure Bold360 transactions that we did in all of 2017.

On the Identity front, our LastPass product was once again the fastest growing product in our portfolio in 2018, crossing $50 million in annual revenue. We also took important steps to accelerate our roadmap to add single sign-on and multi-factor authentication capabilities needed to expand LastPass into a full IDaaS suite – capabilities that we expect to introduce later in 2019.

We acquired Jive Communications, which had developed a modern and scalable cloud PBX platform capable of helping us complete our UCC vision. In its first year as part of LogMeIn, we accelerated Jive’s year-over-year revenue growth from approximately 20% in 2017 to exiting 2018 growing approximately 35%. 

More importantly, when we announced our intention to expand into these adjacent markets in December 2017, the products aimed at those opportunities generated total revenues of less than $100 million in 2017, representing only about 10% of LogMeIn’s total revenue. By the end of 2018, our products aimed at UCC, CES and IDaaS were collectively generating nearly $240 million in annual revenue, representing approximately 20% of our total Company revenue and growing at 35% on a pro forma basis.

Building off of this momentum, we entered 2019 believing that increasing our investments in these products would allow us to further accelerate growth and take advantage of the exciting opportunities before us. Therefore, in February 2019 we announced a strategic plan, which included a global restructuring, designed to allow us to invest an incremental $75 million dollars in 2019 and accelerate the success of our growth assets by further funding our sales capacity, marketing and research and development.

LogMeIn is now entering an exciting new era. We want to be THE defining leader in the UCC, IDaaS, and CES markets, which together represent a total addressable opportunity that is an order of magnitude larger than our current markets. By investing now, we believe we are taking the steps needed to accelerate growth and deliver enhanced long-term stockholder value.

Proxy Statement Summary (continued)

 

Corporate Governance Highlights

We believe that good corporate governance is important to achieve success and to ensure that we are managed for the long-term benefit of our stockholders. We believe that the following corporate governance policies, guidelines and practices adopted by our Board of Directors (“Board” or “Board of Directors”) reflect many current “best practices,” including:

 

   A “majority” voting standard and a director resignation policy for directors in uncontested elections

   All directors with the exception of Messrs. Simon and Wagner are independent under the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules

   An independent Chairman helps set Board and Committee meeting agendas

   Three standing Board Committees, all of which are comprised solely of independent directors

   Directors have full and free access to management and, as necessary and appropriate, independent advisors

 

   Separate Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

   All directors attended greater than 75% of Board meetings held during 2018

   Our insider trading policy prohibits executives and directors from hedging or pledging LogMeIn stock

   Directors and Section 16 executive officers are subject to stock ownership guidelines

   At least annually, the Board of Directors and its Committees conduct a self-evaluation to determine whether they are functioning effectively

 

Please see the section entitled “Our Commitment to Corporate Governance,” beginning on page 21

of this Proxy Statement for additional information about our Corporate Governance practices.

Results of Last Year’s “Say-on-Pay” Vote

LogMeIn conducts an annual non-binding advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers, commonly referred to as a “say-on-pay” vote. At our 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, approximately 95.3% of the votes cast by stockholders on this proposal were cast in support of the 2017 compensation of our named executive officers. While this vote is non-binding, the Compensation Committee and our Board of Directors value this feedback and carefully consider the results. Given the strong level of support evidenced by last year’s say-on-pay vote, the Compensation Committee determined that our stockholders were generally supportive of our current executive compensation philosophy and program and decided that no significant changes to our executive compensation program were necessary for 2018. Nevertheless, the Compensation Committee and our Board of Directors continue to monitor the executive compensation program to ensure that it continues to align the interests of our executive officers with the interests of our stockholders.

Please see the section entitled “Executive Compensation Discussion & Analysis — Executive Summary” on page 39 of this Proxy Statement for additional information about our executive compensation program and policies.

Proxy Statement Summary (continued)

 

Executive Compensation Highlights

Summary of Our 2018 Executive Compensation Program

Our Compensation Committee designs our executive compensation programs with the goal of attracting, retaining and motivating talented executives, while simultaneously promoting the achievement of key financial and strategic performance measures by linking a portion of executive compensation to the achievement of measurable corporate performance goals, and thereby aligning the incentives of our executives with the creation of value for our stockholders.

Below, we summarize those executive compensation practices we have implemented to help drive executive performance, as well as practices we have chosen not to implement because we believe such practices do not support our stockholders’ long-term interests:

What We Do

   Emphasize Pay-for-Performance — in 2018 all of our executive officers, including our named executive officers, received equity awards with performance-based vesting conditions and all of our executive officers (except for Mr. D’Angelo who is on a sales commission plan) participated in our annual performance-based cash incentive bonus plan, which compensates our executive officers for our achievement of operational and financial goals, thereby aligning our executive incentives with our performance and the creation of stockholder value. Additionally, at least 50% of the target total direct compensation opportunity of our CEO consisted of performance-based equity and performance-based cash pay in 2018. Payouts under our cash incentive bonus plan are capped at 120% of each executive officer’s target bonus opportunity.

   Use “Double-Trigger” Change-in-Control Provisions — the equity awards granted to our named executive officers contain a “double trigger” payment provision, that is, they require both a change-in-control of the Company and an involuntary termination of employment to receive accelerated vesting.

   Equity Ownership Guidelines — all of our Section 16 executive officers are required to, within five years from the date of his/her hire or promotion, own shares of our common stock having an aggregate value at least equal to: (i) three times the base salary for our CEO or (ii) one times the base salary for all other executive officers.

   Annual “Say-on-Pay” Vote — we conduct our “say-on-pay” vote on an annual basis to allow our stockholders to provide us with their direct input on our executive compensation program, policies, and practices as disclosed in our proxy statement each year.

 

   Offer Both Equity and Cash Incentives — the compensation packages offered to our executive officers consist of a combination of base salary, performance-based equity awards and annual performance-based cash incentive bonuses, which we believe incentivizes our executive officers to deliver both short-term and long-term stockholder value.

   Compensation Recovery (“Clawback”) Policy — the incentive-based cash compensation paid to our executive officers under our annual cash incentive bonus plan is subject to an executive compensation recovery, or “clawback,” policy, which requires the reimbursement of excess compensation in the event that we are required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the fraud or misconduct of any of our executive officers.

   Engage an Independent Compensation Consultant — in addition to our Compensation Committee members, all of whom are independent directors, our Compensation Committee has retained a compensation consultant to serve as its independent advisor. The compensation consultant reports directly to our Compensation Committee and provides the committee with competitive market data and additional information needed to make informed compensation decisions.

   Avoid Undue Risk-Taking — our compensation policies and practices are designed to discourage our executive officers from taking on or creating risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

What We Don’t Do

   No Re-pricing Stock Options — we do not re-price our stock options and would not do so without stockholder approval.

   No Hedging or Pledging — we prohibit our executive officers from engaging in margin, hedging, pledging or other similar transactions in our securities.

   No Resetting of 2018 Performance Targets — we did not reset any of the performance targets used in our incentive compensation programs in 2018.

 

   No Excise Tax Gross-Ups — we do not provide our executive officers with excise tax gross-ups, perquisites or fringe benefits.

   No Fixed-Term or Evergreen Employment Agreements — none of our executive officers are currently party to a written employment agreement that provides for automatic or pre-scheduled increases in their base salary or guaranteed annual equity awards. All of our executive officers are “at-will” employees.

2019 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

Proxy Statement Summary (continued)

 

 2018 CEO Total Direct Compensation Pay Mix

Our Compensation Committee evaluates executive compensation annually and bases its executive compensation decisions on each named executive officer’s total direct compensation opportunity. The total direct compensation opportunities of our named executive officers are generally comprised of a mix of cash compensation, in the form of base salaries and annual cash incentive bonuses, and long-term incentive compensation in the form of equity awards. Over the years, this total direct compensation mix has been designed so that the elements of variable pay, such as our annual cash incentive bonus awards and equity awards, represent a substantial portion of the total direct compensation opportunity awarded to our named executive officers.

For fiscal 2018, 51% of Mr. Wagner’s total direct compensation opportunity was designed to be “at risk,” by tying a majority of his compensation opportunity to variable pay elements such as long-term equity incentive awards with performance-based vesting conditions (as further described in the section below entitled “Equity Incentive Awards — Fiscal 2018 Equity Awards”) and our cash incentive bonus plan, which provides for a variable cash payment based on the Company’s achievement of certain pre-established financial goals. By dedicating a meaningful percentage of our executives’ total direct compensation opportunity to these variable “at risk” pay elements, rather than fixed pay elements like base salary, the Compensation Committee believes that we are able to better link executive incentives with the Company’s performance. The value of the target number of shares that may be earned under Mr. Wagner’s 2018 performance-based RSU awards, or PRSU awards, when calculated based on their fair value (i.e., the market value per share of our common stock as represented by the closing price of our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on the date of grant) represented 42% of Mr. Wagner’s 2018 total direct compensation opportunity, while nearly 9% of his 2018 total direct compensation opportunity was subject to our cash incentive bonus plan.

In keeping with the Company’s pay-for-performance philosophy, the fiscal 2018 equity awards granted to Mr. Wagner were comprised of 50% time-based RSUs and 50% PRSUs. The Compensation Committee believes that including PRSU awards in the total direct compensation opportunities of those executives whose individual performances and decisions have a direct impact on our Company’s performance helps to strengthen our overall pay-for-performance alignment by ensuring that a substantial portion of their compensation is aligned with the creation of value for our stockholders.

The following chart illustrates the breakdown of Mr. Wagner’s total direct compensation pay mix awarded in fiscal 2018:

 

Please see the Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis section beginning on page 39 of this Proxy Statement for a more detailed description of the compensation paid to our CEO and other named executive officers during fiscal 2018.

Q. How many votes do I have?

A. Each share of our common stock that you owned as of the close of business on the record date entitles you to one vote on each matter that is voted on at the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

 

Q. Is my vote really that important?

A. Your vote is important regardless of how many shares you own or whether you plan to attend the Annual Meeting in person. Please take the time to read the instructions below and vote. Choose the method of voting that is easiest and most convenient for you and, if you vote by mail, please cast your vote as soon as possible.

 

Q. How do I vote?

A. Stockholder of record: Shares registered in your name: If you are a stockholder of record (that is, your shares are registered in your own name, not in “street name” by a bank, brokerage firm or other intermediary), the Notice instructs you as to how (i) you may access and review all of the proxy materials on the Internet, (ii) you may submit your proxy, and (iii) to receive paper copies

of the proxy materials if you wish. No printed materials will be available unless you specifically request them by following the instructions in the “Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials.”

 

 

 

You may vote via the Internet.    To vote via the Internet, log on to the website listed on the Notice or your proxy card and follow the on-screen instructions, using the Company Number and Account Number shown on your proxy card when prompted. We permit Internet proxy voting to allow you to vote your shares on-line, with procedures designed to ensure the authenticity and correctness of your proxy vote instructions. You must submit your Internet proxy before 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on May 29, 2019, the day before the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, for your proxy and your vote to be counted. Please be aware that you must bear any costs associated with your Internet access, such as usage charges from Internet access providers and telephone companies.

 

You may vote by mail.    If you received our proxy materials by mail, you may complete, date and sign the proxy card that accompanies our proxy statement and promptly mail it to American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, or AST, in the enclosed postage pre-paid envelope so that it is received prior to the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. You do not need to put a stamp on the enclosed envelope if you mail it from within the United States. The persons named in the proxy card will vote the shares you own in accordance with your instructions on the proxy card you mail. If you return the proxy card, but do not give any instructions on a particular matter to be voted on at the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the proxy card will vote the shares you own in accordance with the recommendations of our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR Proposal 1 (the election of directors), FOR Proposal 2 (the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm), FOR Proposal 3 (to approve the ESPP), and FOR proposal 4 (to approve an advisory vote on executive compensation). AST must receive your proxy card no later than May 29, 2019, the day before the 2019 Annual Meeting, for your proxy and your vote to be counted.

 

You may vote in person.    To vote in person, attend the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and vote by delivering your completed proxy card in person or by completing and submitting a ballot, which will be provided at the meeting.

Beneficial owner:    Shares held in “street name.” If the shares you own are held in “street name” by a bank, brokerage firm or other intermediary, then your bank, brokerage firm or other intermediary, as the record holder of your shares, is required to vote your shares according to your instructions. In order to vote your shares, you will need to follow the voting instructions your bank, brokerage firm or other intermediary provides you. Many banks, brokerage firms and other intermediaries also offer the option of voting over the Internet or by telephone, instructions for which would be provided to you by your bank, brokerage firm or other intermediary. If you do not instruct your bank, brokerage firm or other intermediary accordingly, it will still be able to vote your shares with respect to certain “discretionary” items, but will not be allowed to vote your shares with respect to certain “non-discretionary” items. Of the proposals to be considered at the meeting, only the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm is a discretionary item. Accordingly, your bank, brokerage firm or other intermediary may exercise its discretionary authority with respect to Proposal 2 (the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm) if you do not

2019 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

Information about the Annual Meeting and Voting (continued)

 

 

provide voting instructions. In the case of the non-discretionary items, Proposal 1 (the election of directors), Proposal 3 (to approve the ESPP), and Proposal 4 (to approve an advisory vote on executive compensation), the shares will be treated as “broker non-votes.” “Broker non-votes” are shares that are held in “street name” by a bank, brokerage firm or other intermediary that indicates on its proxy that it does not have discretionary authority to vote on a particular matter.

If you wish to attend the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to personally vote your shares held in “street name,” you will need to obtain a proxy card from the holder of record (i.e. your bank, brokerage firm or other intermediary); a broker’s proxy card is not the form of proxy card enclosed with this proxy statement.

 

Q. May I revoke my proxy or change my vote after I have voted?

A. Yes. If you are a stockholder of record, you may revoke your earlier proxy and/or change your vote at any time before the Annual Meeting by taking one of the following actions (only your latest-dated proxy that we receive prior to the Annual Meeting will be counted):

 

completing, signing, dating and mailing another proxy card with a later date;

 

voting again via the Internet;

 

giving our corporate secretary written notice that you want to revoke your proxy, at the address below under “How and when may I submit a stockholder proposal for the 2020 Annual Meeting?”; or

 

attending the meeting, notifying our corporate secretary that you are present and then voting in person. Your attendance at the meeting alone will not revoke your proxy; you must vote again or specifically request that your prior proxy be revoked.

If you own shares in “street name,” your bank, brokerage firm or other intermediary should provide you with appropriate instructions for changing or revoking your vote.

 

Q. What constitutes a quorum?

A. In order for business to be conducted at the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our by-laws require that a quorum must be present. A quorum consists of the holders of a majority of the shares of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting; that is, at least 24,992,345 shares.

Shares of our common stock present in person or represented by proxy (including shares that reflect abstentions, “broker non-votes” and votes withheld for director nominees) will be counted for the purpose of determining whether a quorum exists.

If a quorum is not present, the Annual Meeting will be adjourned until a quorum is obtained.

 

Q. What vote is required to approve each item?

A. The Company has adopted a majority vote standard for non-contested director elections and a plurality vote standard for contested director elections. The voting standard is discussed further under the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — Election of Directors — Director Voting Standard.”

All other proposals require the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the holders of shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not counted for any purpose in determining whether such proposals have been approved.

 

Q. How will votes be counted?

A. Each share of common stock voted at the Annual Meeting will be counted as one vote. A share will not be voted in favor of a matter and will not be counted as voting on a particular matter, if either (1) the holder of the share withholds authority in the proxy card to vote for a particular director nominee or nominees or abstains from voting on a particular matter or (2) the share constitutes a “broker non-vote.” As a result, withheld shares, abstentions and “broker non-votes” will have no effect on the outcome of voting on any proposal at the Annual Meeting.

 

Q. Who will count the votes?

A. Our transfer agent and registrar, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, will count, tabulate and certify the votes. A representative of American Stock Transfer & Trust Company will serve as inspector of elections at the Annual Meeting.

 

Q. How does the Board of Directors recommend that I vote on the proposals?

A. Our Board of Directors recommends that you vote:

 

FOR Proposal 1 — to elect the three nominees identified in this proxy statement as Class I director nominees;

 

 

FOR Proposal 2 — to ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019; and

 

FOR Proposal 3 — to approve the adoption of our proposed 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) so that eligible employees may purchase LogMeIn shares pursuant to a plan which is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended;

 

FOR Proposal 4 — to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers.

 

Q. Will any other business be conducted at the Annual Meeting or will other matters be voted on?

A. We are not currently aware of any other business to be conducted or matters to be voted on at the Annual Meeting. However, if any other matter properly comes before the Annual Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof, the person(s) named in the proxy card that accompanies this proxy statement will vote, or otherwise act, at the meeting to their best judgment with respect to the shares they have authority to vote. A stockholder proposal or information about a proposed director candidate for potential inclusion in the proxy statement for our 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders must be submitted in accordance with the procedures outlined under “How and when may I submit a stockholder proposal for the 2020 Annual Meeting?”

Q. When and where can I find the voting results?

A. We expect to announce preliminary voting results at the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. We will also report the voting results from the Annual Meeting in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, within four business days after the conclusion of the Annual Meeting. Otherwise, if final voting results are not available to us in time to file a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days after the conclusion of the Annual Meeting, we intend to file a Current Report on Form 8-K to publish preliminary results and, within four business days after the final results are known to us, file an additional Current Report on Form 8-K to publish the final results

 

Q. May I recommend a candidate for LogMeIn’s Board of Directors?

A. Yes. Stockholders may recommend director candidates for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of our Board of Directors by sending a written notice to our corporate secretary at the address below under “How and when may I submit a stockholder proposal for the 2020 Annual Meeting?” Our by-laws specify the information that must be included in any such notice, including (i) the stockholder’s name, address and number of shares of LogMeIn stock held, and (ii) the director candidate’s name, age, address, principal occupation and number of shares of LogMeIn stock held. If a common stockholder would like a director candidate to be considered for inclusion in the proxy statement for our 2020 Annual Meeting, the stockholder must follow the procedures for stockholder proposals outlined immediately below under “How and when may I submit a stockholder proposal for the 2020 Annual Meeting?” You can find more detailed information on our process for selecting Board members and our criteria for Board nominees in the section of this proxy statement entitled “BOARD OF DIRECTORS, CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND RELATED MATTERS — Director Nomination Process” and in the Corporate Governance Guidelines posted on the “Investor-Corporate Governance-Documents & Charters” section of our website, located at www.logmeininc.com.

Alternatively, our by-laws provide that stockholders may nominate director candidates for consideration at the 2020 Annual Meeting directly, without approval of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. In order to nominate candidates directly, stockholders must follow the procedures outlined in “How and when may I submit a stockholder proposal for the 2020 Annual Meeting?” immediately below.

 

Q. How and when may I submit a stockholder proposal for the 2020 Annual Meeting?

A. If you are interested in submitting a proposal or information about a proposed director candidate for potential inclusion in the proxy statement for our 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, you must follow the procedures outlined in Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). To be eligible for inclusion in the proxy statement, we must receive your stockholder proposal or information about your proposed director candidate at the address noted below no later than December 14, 2019. However, if the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is held before April 30, 2020 or after June 29, 2020, then we must receive your stockholder proposal or information about your proposed director candidate at the

address noted below a reasonable time before we begin to print and mail our proxy materials for the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

If you wish to present a proposal or a proposed director candidate at the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, but do not wish to have the proposal or director candidate considered for inclusion in the proxy statement and proxy card, in accordance with our Company by-laws, you must also give written notice to our corporate secretary at the address noted below. In accordance with our by-laws, we must receive this required notice by March 1, 2020, but no sooner than January 31, 2020. However, if the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is held before May 10, 2020 or after July 29, 2020, then we must receive the required notice of a proposal or proposed director candidate no earlier than the 120th day prior to the 2020 Annual Meeting and no later than the close of business on the later of (1) the 90th day prior to the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and (2) the 10th day following the date on which notice of the date of the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders was mailed or public disclosure was made, whichever occurs first.

Q. What is “householding” and how may I receive a separate copy of the proxy statement or Annual Report to Stockholders?

A. Some banks, brokers and other nominee record holders may be participating in the practice of “householding” proxy statements and annual reports. This means that only one copy of our proxy statement and Annual Report to Stockholders may have been sent to multiple stockholders in your household. We will promptly deliver a separate copy of either document to you if our Investor Relations Department receives a call or written request from you at the address, telephone number or email address indicated above. If you want to receive separate copies of our proxy statement or Annual Report to Stockholders in the future, or if you are receiving multiple copies and would like to receive only one copy per household, you should contact your bank, broker, or other nominee record holder.

PROPOSAL 1 — ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Our Board of Directors is divided into three classes, with one class being elected each year and members of each class holding office for a three-year term. We believe that having a staggered Board of Directors divided by classes is in the best interest of both the Company and its stockholders because it provides for greater stability and continuity on our Board of Directors. We have three Class I directors, whose terms expire at this Annual Meeting of Stockholders; three Class II directors, whose terms expire at the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders; and four Class III directors, whose terms expire at our 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

At this Annual Meeting, stockholders will have an opportunity to vote for three nominees for Class I directors:

      Steven J. Benson

      Robert M. Calderoni and

      Michael J. Christenson

All nominees are currently directors of LogMeIn. Proxies cannot be voted for a greater number of persons than the number of nominees named. Additional information about Messrs. Benson, Calderoni and Christenson can be found below under “Our Board of Directors.”

The persons named in the enclosed proxy card will cast your vote to elect these three nominees as Class I directors, unless you vote “against” individual nominees or all nominees by marking the proxy card to that effect. If elected, each nominee for Class I director will hold office until the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until his successor is elected and qualified. Each of the nominees has indicated his willingness to serve if elected. However, if any nominee should be unable to serve, the persons named in the proxy card may vote the proxy for a substitute nominee nominated by our Board of Directors, or our Board of Directors may reduce the number of directors.

Our Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR each of the nominees.

2019 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

 

Our Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors currently consists of ten members. Mr. Simon has resigned from our Board of Directors and will continue to serve until the conclusion of this Annual Meeting of Stockholders on May 30, 2019, at which time our Board will consist of nine members. Our by-laws provide that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of our Board of Directors and that our directors may be removed only for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the votes entitled to be cast in an annual election of directors. Any vacancy on our Board of Directors, including a vacancy resulting from an enlargement of our Board of Directors, may be filled only by vote of a majority of our directors then in office.

Our Board of Directors is divided into three classes, with the members of each class serving for staggered three-year terms. At each Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the successors to directors whose terms are set to expire will be elected to serve from the time of their election and qualification until the third Annual Meeting following their election. We believe that having a staggered Board of Directors divided by classes is in the best interest of both the Company and its stockholders because it provides for greater stability and continuity on our Board of Directors.

2019 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

Corporate Governance (continued)

 

Our Commitment to Environmental, Social and Governance Matters

At LogMeIn, we recognize the impact that a business can have on its surrounding community and environment and believe that an organization has the responsibility to be a good corporate citizen of the world. We also value our employees and recognize the critical roles that they play in the achievement of our long-term goals and overall success. The following is intended as a summary of some of the steps we have taken to create a safe, inclusive and positive workplace for our employees while also conducting our operations in an environmentally responsible manner. Additional information can be found in our Social & Environmental Responsibility Principles under the “Investor — Corporate Governance-Documents & Charters” section on our website, located at www.logmeininc.com.

 

Social Considerations & Human Capital Management

At LogMeIn, we believe that our employees are our greatest asset and we are committed to having a workforce that will enable the long-term success of our business. The following is intended to highlight certain aspects of our corporate culture and summarize of some of the programs we have put in place to help us continue to attract, retain and inspire key talent:

 

Employee feedback is crucial to how we measure our success in continuing to be a great place to work. For these reasons, in 2018, we regularly conducted employee Net Promoter Score® (“eNPS”) surveys of our employee base so that we can quantitatively measure and track employee engagement. More recently, we partnered with BlessingWhite, a division of GP Strategies Corporation, to conduct a High Engagement Level Report Survey and received an 84% response rate from our employees.

Recent studies released by Comparably in 2018 named LogMeIn as a winner of Best Company Culture, Best Companies for Women and ranked our CEO William Wagner among the top 50 CEOs for women and for diversity. LogMeIn has been ranked as one of the top ten companies in the large category of the Boston Business Journal’s Best Places to Work nine times.

We are committed to hiring, developing and promoting a diverse workplace where employees are encouraged to share diverse opinions. We believe that ethnic and gender diversity helps set a tone of inclusiveness and equality in the workplace. We are committed to providing equal opportunity in employment to all employees and applicants for employment, and no employee or applicant is discriminated against in the terms and conditions of employment on the basis of race, creed, religion, color, ancestry, sex, age, marital status, national origin, veteran status, genetic information, disability, sexual orientation, or any other classification protected by law.

LogMeIn is home to several Employee Resource Groups which help foster inclusion and belonging in our global workplace. Approximately a quarter of our worldwide employees are members of LogMeIn’s social initiatives groups promoting diversity and inclusion such as LogHerIn (a group committed to amplifying female culture at LogMeIn), PRIDE (our LGBTQ resource group) and BE (an employee resource group for black employees).

We actively promote a number of benefits and programs to support the health and welfare of our employees including yoga and Zumba classes, basketball tournaments and running groups, and an annual “wellness week” aimed at educating our employees and providing them with access to local health and wellness resources.

We are committed to maintaining a safe and inclusive working environment for all employees and have implemented a zero-tolerance policy of violence in the workplace and strictly enforce a prohibition against harassment, sexual or otherwise, of any of our employees by anyone, including any supervisor, co-worker, vendor, client or customer.

We pride ourselves on being a progressive, forward thinking employee-centric organization and work with our local HR and benefits teams to comply with all applicable local benefit, wage and hour laws and regulations. In 2018, we partnered with external counsel to conduct a comprehensive self-audit of pay equity across the Company. The analysis was undertaken partly in response to the Massachusetts Equal Pay Act, or MEPA, however, given our Company philosophy of promoting diversity and our commitment to equal opportunity, our executive team requested that the audit be expanded to include all Company employees globally in an effort to ensure that LogMeIn was practicing equal pay for comparable work across all of its offices regardless of gender, race/ethnicity, and multiple other protected classes.

 

Our Environment

We recognize the impact that companies can have on the environment and we are working to integrate sustainability initiatives into our business practices by:

Reducing greenhouse emissions at our facilities through energy conservation and energy efficiency;

Utilizing data centers that earn an A rating by Greenpeace;

Responsibly managing and disposing of our electronic waste and using our recycling credits to support organizations partnered with LogMeIn’s Corporate Social Responsibility program, Mission Possible;

Creating office environments that promote conservation through water efficiency, source reduction, recycling, composting and the use of sustainable products; and

Fostering employee awareness and active participation in sustainability efforts through communications, campaigns and best practices.

Corporate Governance (continued)

 

 

Community Involvement

 

At LogMeIn, we promote a sense of corporate social responsibility by encouraging our employees to take part in social and community volunteering through our corporate social responsibility program, known as Mission Possible. For example, in 2018, we:

Hosted 500+ children and young adults across our Boston, Utah, Mountain View, Karlsruhe, Germany and Bangalore, India offices as part of our global STEM In initiative, a workshop designed to sponsor engaging STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) focused activities and programs. We also partnered with youth groups like CoderDojo and Girls Who Code to encourage children and young adults to pursue careers in technology and help close the diversity and achievement gaps in tech;

Encouraged and helped our employees find meaningful ways to volunteer and engage with their local community through Company sponsored VTO (Volunteer Time Off) days ranging from sorting food at local food banks to helping to build homes to mentoring and teaching local children;

Partnered with the Red Cross to hold numerous blood drives, made donations to and had employees volunteer with Direct Relief and Habitat for Humanity to provide aid following the California wildfires and mudslides, India’s Kerala floods and the Fuego Volcano in Guatemala; and

Ran a match campaign with the United Way during which time we matched employee charitable gifts 1:1 up to $100,000 Company-wide. 22% of LogMeIners donated to charitable causes they were passionate about and we exceeded our stated fundraising goals.

Board Leadership Structure

In February 2019, we announced a Board succession plan whereby our co-founder and long-time Chairman, Mr. Michael Simon, resigned his position as Chairman of the Board effective as of the close of business on March 1, 2019 and Mr. Robert Calderoni was appointed to succeed him. Mr. Simon also resigned from the Board effective as of the conclusion of our 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on May 30, 2019. Mr. Calderoni is considered “independent” under the standards set forth in the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules and the Exchange Act. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide for the appointment of an independent “Lead Director” in the event that the Chairman of the Board is not an independent director. Prior to Mr. Calderoni succeeding Mr. Simon as Chairman in March 2019, Mr. Edwin Gillis served as our Lead Independent Director.

As our Chairman, Mr. Calderoni is responsible for, among other things, presiding over and managing the Board and setting agendas for our Board meetings. Our Board of Directors believes that Mr. Calderoni’s extensive experience as a leader and manager of multiple large scale global software-as-a-service companies, particularly his experience leading companies through business transition situations, as well as his experience as Chairman of the Board and Former Interim President and CEO of Citrix Systems, Inc., makes him uniquely qualified for the role of Chairman because he possesses detailed knowledge of the issues, opportunities and challenges facing the Company, its business and its industry.

Director Independence

NASDAQ and Exchange Act Independence Standards

Under Rule 5605(b)(1) of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules (the “NASDAQ Rules”), independent directors must comprise a majority of a listed company’s Board of Directors within one year of listing. The NASDAQ Rules also require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees be independent. Audit Committee members must also satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 (“Rule 10A-3”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Under the NASDAQ Rules, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of that company’s Board of Directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. In order to be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3, a member of an Audit Committee of a listed company may not, other than in his capacity as a member of the Audit Committee, the Board of Directors, or any other Board Committee: (1) accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries; or (2) be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries.

Our Board of Directors has determined that, with the exception of Mr. Simon and Mr. Wagner, all of our current directors, including each of Messrs. Calderoni, Henshall and Sacripanti – who were appointed in connection with the Merger with Citrix’ GoTo business, qualify as “independent” as that term is defined under NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2) and the SEC regulations and that those directors who comprise our Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees also satisfy the heightened independence standards for those committees established by applicable SEC regulations and the NASDAQ Rules. In making this determination, our Board of Directors considered the relationships that each non-employee director has with our Company and all other facts and circumstances our Board of Directors deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director.

2019 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

Corporate Governance (continued)

 

Additional Independence Standards

In addition to the independence standards required by the NASDAQ Rules and the Exchange Act, certain organizations that serve institutional investors have additional heightened standards and policies which they use to evaluate director independence when making voting recommendations to shareholders. These standards and policies are often driven by a belief that directors who are too closely tied to management may have inherent conflicts of interest and therefore may be less willing and able to effectively evaluate and scrutinize company performance.

With the exception of Mr. Simon, who previously served as our CEO, and Mr. Wagner, who currently serves as our President and CEO, we believe that our other eight directors are sufficiently independent from our management team to allow them to effectively serve as directors since, in addition to their independence under the NASDAQ and Exchange Act standards, none of them have ever served as an officer or employee of LogMeIn or one of its affiliates, nor have they ever beneficially owned more than 50% of LogMeIn’s voting power.

Specifically with regard to Mr. Calderoni and Mr. Henshall, each of whom currently hold management positions at Citrix, it is important to note that: (i) while each is an officer of Citrix, Citrix itself never owned any shares of LogMeIn, and thus was not an affiliate of LogMeIn; (ii) Citrix was not a parent or predecessor to LogMeIn; and (iii) LogMeIn never had a joint venture or partnership arrangement, before, during or after the Merger with Citrix.

Board Meetings and Attendance

Our Board met seven (7) times during the year ended December 31, 2018. During 2018, each director attended at least 75% of the Board meetings held during the period for which he or she has been a director and each incumbent director attended at least 75% of the meetings held by the committees of the Board on which he or she then served. All of our directors were present at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders in May 2018.

Board Committees

During fiscal 2018, our Board of Directors had three standing committees: an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Each committee operates under a charter that has been approved by our Board of Directors in compliance with the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules, copies of which are available under the “Investor — Corporate Governance-Documents & Charters” section on our website, located at www.logmeininc.com.

2019 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

Corporate Governance (continued)

 

None of our executive officers serve as a member of the Board of Directors or Compensation Committee, or other Committee serving an equivalent function, of any entity where a member of our Board of Directors or our Compensation Committee serves as an executive officer. None of the members of our Compensation Committee is an officer or employee of our Company, nor have they ever been an officer or employee of our Company.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee — The members of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are Mr. Benson, who serves as chairman of the Committee, and Messrs. Christenson and Sacripanti. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s responsibilities include:

identifying individuals qualified to become members of our Board of Directors;

recommending to our Board of Directors the persons to be nominated for election as directors and to each Board Committee;

reviewing and making recommendations to our Board of Directors with respect to management succession planning;

developing and recommending corporate governance principles to our Board of Directors; 

oversight of our environmental, social and governance, or “ESG,” programs; and

overseeing an annual evaluation of our Board of Directors.

Director Nomination Process

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for identifying individuals qualified to become members of our Board of Directors and for recommending to our Board of Directors the persons to be nominated for election as directors and to each Board Committee.

The process followed by our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to identify and evaluate director candidates typically includes:

retaining the services of an executive search firm to help identify and evaluate potential director candidates;

soliciting recommendations for qualified nominees from current members of the Board and management; and

scheduling interviews and meetings with potential candidates and members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board of Directors and members of senior management.

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also considers candidates proposed by our stockholders. Stockholders nominating director candidates must follow the procedures set forth under “INFORMATION ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING AND VOTING — “May I recommend a candidate for LogMeIn’s Board of Directors?”” and “How and when may I submit a stockholder proposal for the 2020 Annual Meeting?”

Candidate Criteria and Skills

Before recommending any particular candidate for inclusion in the Board of Directors’ slate of recommended director nominees, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that each candidate must satisfy at least the following minimum criteria:

a reputation for integrity, honesty and adherence to high ethical standards;

a demonstrated business acumen, experience and ability to exercise sound judgment in matters that relate to LogMeIn’s current and long-term objectives and a willingness to contribute positively to LogMeIn’s decision-making process;

a commitment to understand LogMeIn and its industry and to regularly attend and participate in meetings of the Board and its Committees;

the ability to understand the sometimes conflicting interests of the various constituencies of LogMeIn, which include stockholders, employees, customers, governmental units, creditors and the general public, and to act in the interests of all stockholders;

candidates should not have, nor appear to have, a conflict of interest that would impair the candidate’s ability to represent the interests of all of LogMeIn’s stockholders and to fulfill the responsibilities of a director;

the value of diversity, including that of gender, race, ethnicity, age and sexual orientation, on the Board should be considered; and

the ability to serve for at least three years before reaching the age of 70.

In addition to the above minimum criteria, our Board of Directors also believes that having directors who provide a significant breadth of experience, knowledge and abilities in areas relevant to LogMeIn’s business, while also representing a diversity of gender, race, age, sexual orientation and ethnicity, contributes to a well-balanced and effective Board. Therefore, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is committed to ensuring that at least one candidate representing a diversity of gender, race, ethnicity, age and/or sexual orientation is included in each pool of new candidates from which Board nominees are chosen, and that directors should be selected so that the Board is a diverse body. Any search firm retained by our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to find director candidates will be instructed to take into account all of the criteria used by our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, including diversity. Director nominees are not discriminated against on the basis of gender, race, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, disability or any other basis proscribed by law.

In the spirit of this commitment to diversity the two most recent directors appointed to our Board of Directors were women and going forward, the Board remains committed to ensuring that it remains a diverse body, reflecting a variety of different perspectives, backgrounds and experiences.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that the re-nomination of existing directors should not be viewed as automatic, but should be based on continuing qualification under the criteria set forth above, the director’s past performance as a member of the Board and confirmation that each nominee possesses the appropriate skills and characteristics required of LogMeIn’s directors.

 

You can find more detailed information on our process for selecting Board members and our criteria for Board nominees in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, which are available on the “Investors — Corporate Governance — Documents & Charters” section of our website, www.logmeininc.com.

Director Voting Standard

Our by-laws provide that, in an uncontested election, each director will be elected by a majority of votes cast. A “majority of votes cast” means the number of shares voted “for” a director exceeds the number of votes cast “against” that director. In addition, our Corporate Governance Guidelines include a director resignation policy that provides that, in uncontested elections, an incumbent director nominee who does not receive the required votes for re-election is expected to tender his or her resignation to the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, or another duly authorized Committee of the Board, will determine whether to accept or reject the tendered resignation generally within ninety days after certification of the election results. No director who failed to receive the required votes for re-election may participate in the consideration of the matter. The Company will publicly disclose the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s (or other responsible Committee’s) decision.

The majority voting standard does not apply, however, if the Board of Directors determines that the number of nominees for director exceeds the number of directors to be elected. In such circumstances, even if the number of nominees for director later no longer exceeds the number of directors to be elected, directors will instead be elected by a plurality of the votes cast, meaning that the nominees receiving the most votes will be elected.

Compensation Risk Assessment

Consistent with the SEC’s disclosure requirements, we have assessed our compensation programs for all employees. We have concluded that our compensation policies and practices do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us. Management has evaluated our executive and employee compensation and benefits programs to determine if these programs’ provisions and operations create undesired or unintentional risk of a material nature. The risk assessment process includes a review of program policies and practices; analysis to identify risks and risk controls related to our compensation programs; and determinations as to the sufficiency of risk identification, the balance of potential risk to potential reward, the effectiveness of our risk controls and the impacts of our compensation programs and their risks to LogMeIn strategy. Although we periodically review all compensation programs, we focus on the programs with variability of payout, with the ability of a participant to directly affect payout and the controls on participant action and payout. In relation to this, we believe that our incentive compensation arrangements provide incentives that do not encourage risk taking beyond our ability to effectively identify and manage significant risks and are compatible with effective internal controls and the risk management practices of LogMeIn.

The Compensation Committee monitors our compensation programs on an annual basis and expects to make modifications as necessary to address any changes in the Company’s business or risk profile.

The Compensation Committee has the authority to retain compensation consultants and other outside advisors to assist in the evaluation of executive officer compensation. Additionally, the Compensation Committee may delegate authority to one or more sub-committees as it deems appropriate. The processes and procedures followed by our Compensation Committee in considering and determining executive compensation are described below under the heading “Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis.”

Transactions with Related Persons

Since January 1, 2018, we have not engaged in any transactions with our directors, executive officers and holders of more than 5% of our voting securities, and affiliates or immediate family members of our directors, executive officers or holders of more than 5% of our voting securities, in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000.

Our Board of Directors has adopted written policies and procedures for the review of any transaction, arrangement or relationship in which we are a participant, the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and one of our executive officers, directors, director nominees or 5% stockholders (or their immediate family members), each of whom we refer to as a “related person,” has a direct or indirect material interest.

If a related person proposes to enter into such a transaction, arrangement or relationship, which we refer to as a “related person transaction,” the related person must report the proposed related person transaction to our General Counsel. The policy calls for the proposed related person transaction to be reviewed and, if deemed appropriate, approved by the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. Whenever practicable, the reporting, review and approval will occur prior to entry into the transaction. If advance review and approval is not practicable, the Audit Committee will review, and, in its discretion, may ratify the related person transaction. The policy also permits the chairman of the Audit Committee to review and, if deemed appropriate, approve proposed related person transactions that arise between Audit Committee meetings, subject to ratification by the Audit Committee at its next meeting. Any related person transactions that are ongoing in nature will be reviewed annually.

A related person transaction reviewed under the policy will be considered approved or ratified if it is authorized by the Audit Committee after full disclosure of the related person’s interest in the transaction. As appropriate for the circumstances, the Audit Committee will review and consider:

the related person’s interest in the related person transaction;

the approximate dollar value of the amount involved in the related person transaction;

the approximate dollar value of the amount of the related person’s interest in the transaction without regard to the amount of any profit or loss;

whether the transaction was undertaken in the ordinary course of our business;

whether the terms of the transaction are no less favorable to us than terms that could have been reached with an unrelated third party;

the purpose of, and the potential benefits to us of, the transaction; and

any other information regarding the related person transaction or the related person in the context of the proposed transaction that would be material to investors in light of the circumstances of the particular transaction.

2019 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

Corporate Governance (continued)

 

The Audit Committee may approve or ratify the transaction only if it determines that, under all of the circumstances, the transaction is consistent with our best interests. The Audit Committee may impose any conditions on the related-person transaction that it deems appropriate.

In addition to the transactions that are excluded by the instructions to the SEC’s related-person transaction disclosure rule, our Board of Directors has determined that the following transactions do not create a material direct or indirect interest on behalf of related persons and, therefore, are not related-person transactions for purposes of this policy:

interests arising solely from the related person’s position as an executive officer of another entity (whether or not the person is also a director of such entity), that is a participant in the transaction, where (a) the related person and all other related persons own in the aggregate less than a 10% equity interest in such entity, (b) the related person and his or her immediate family members are not involved in the negotiation of the terms of the transaction and do not receive any special benefits as a result of the transaction, (c) the amount involved in the transaction equals less than the greater of $1 million or 2% of the annual consolidated gross revenues of the other entity that is a party to the transaction, and (d) the amount involved in the transaction equals less than 2% of our annual consolidated gross revenues; and

a transaction that is specifically contemplated by provisions of our charter or by-laws.

The policy provides that transactions involving compensation of executive officers shall be reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee in the manner specified in its charter.

Communicating with our Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors will give appropriate attention to written communications that are submitted by stockholders, and will respond if and as appropriate. The chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, subject to the advice and assistance of our General Counsel, is primarily responsible for monitoring communications from stockholders and for providing copies or summaries to the other directors as he considers appropriate.

Communications are forwarded to all directors if they relate to important substantive matters and include suggestions or comments that the chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers to be important for the directors to review. In general, communications relating to corporate governance and corporate strategy are more likely to be forwarded than communications relating to ordinary business affairs, personal grievances and matters as to which we receive repetitive or duplicative communications.

Stockholders who wish to send communications to our Board of Directors on any topic should address such communications to:

Director Compensation

Overview of 2018 Director Compensation Program

Our Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing our director compensation program and for making recommendations to our Board of Directors regarding the appropriateness of our director compensation levels. We use a combination of cash and stock-based compensation to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our Board of Directors. Our Compensation Committee has retained an independent compensation consultant, Compensia, Inc., or Compensia, who reports directly to the Compensation Committee and uses competitive market data to provide the Committee with compensation ranges that are consistent with the compensation offered by other companies within our peer group.

Mr. Wagner, our President and Chief Executive Officer, did not receive any compensation in connection with his service as a director during fiscal 2018. The compensation that we paid in 2018 to Mr. Wagner as an employee is discussed in the “Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section beginning on page 39.

2018 Director Cash Compensation

For fiscal 2018, each of our non-employee directors were entitled to receive the annual cash retainer fees set forth in the tables below, which were paid in quarterly installments. We also reimburse each non-employee director for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with their attending meetings of our Board of Directors.

The tables below summarize our 2018 non-employee director cash compensation program:

2018 Director Stock Compensation

In addition to cash compensation, we also grant our non-employee directors restricted stock unit, or RSU, awards under our Amended and Restated 2009 Stock Incentive Plan. In determining the amounts of RSU awards to be granted to our non-employee directors, the Compensation Committee generally plans to grant awards that are deemed to be competitive with the equity awards granted by the other companies within our fiscal 2018 compensation peer group and other companies within our industry and region.

Each of our non-employee directors who served during fiscal 2018 were awarded a time-based RSU award with vesting conditions which were subject to their continued service as a director through their applicable vesting date. Pursuant to the individual award agreements, vesting rights typically cease after termination of service except in the case of death or disability. Prior to the vesting of an RSU, the holder has no rights as a stockholder with respect to the shares subject to such RSU, including voting rights and the right to receive dividends.

Director Stock Ownership Guidelines

Our Board of Directors has adopted stock ownership guidelines, as amended in fiscal 2018, for our non-employee directors. Pursuant to these stock ownership guidelines, each current non-employee director and any newly appointed non-employee director is required to, by the date three (3) years from the date the guidelines became applicable to such non-employee director, own shares of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate value at least equal to three (3) times the amount of the annual cash retainer that we currently pay our non-employee directors for general service on our Board, excluding any additional retainers paid for serving on committees or as Lead Independent Director. For purposes of this calculation, shares of the Company’s common stock held directly or indirectly by the non-employee director are included while any outstanding and unvested RSU awards or any outstanding and unvested or vested but unexercised stock option awards are excluded. Prior to amending the guidelines in 2018, our non-employee directors were required to own shares having an aggregate value equal to one times the annual cash retainer.

PROPOSAL 2 — RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP AS INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors has selected Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2019. Although stockholder approval of our Audit Committee’s selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP is not required by law, we believe that it is advisable to give stockholders an opportunity to ratify this selection. If our stockholders do not ratify this selection, our Audit Committee will take that into consideration and may reconsider the selection. We expect that a representative of Deloitte & Touche LLP, which served as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ended December 31, 2018, will be present at the Annual Meeting to respond to appropriate questions and to make a statement if he or she wishes.

Our Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR this proposal.

Audit Committee Report

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with our management our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. The Audit Committee has also reviewed and discussed with Deloitte & Touche LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, our audited consolidated financial statements and the matters required by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communications with Audit Committees), or SAS No. 61, as amended, as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T. SAS No. 61 requires our independent registered public accounting firm to discuss with the Audit Committee, among other things, the following to the extent applicable or relevant:

•   methods to account for significant unusual transactions;

•   the effect of significant accounting policies in controversial or emerging areas for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus;

•   the process used by management in formulating particularly sensitive accounting estimates and the basis for the auditors’ conclusions regarding the reasonableness of those estimates; and

•   disagreements with management, if any, over the application of accounting principles, the basis for management’s accounting estimates and the disclosures in the financial statements.

The Audit Committee has also received from Deloitte & Touche LLP the written disclosures and the letter required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence. The Audit Committee has discussed with Deloitte & Touche LLP the matters disclosed in the letter and its independence with respect to LogMeIn, including a review of audit and non-audit fees and services, and concluded that Deloitte & Touche LLP is independent.

Based on its discussions with management and Deloitte & Touche LLP, and its review of the representations and information referred to above provided by management and Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that our audited consolidated financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for filing with the SEC.

The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors believes that the non-audit services described above did not compromise Deloitte & Touche LLP’s independence. The Audit Committee’s charter, a copy of which can be found on the “Investors — Corporate Governance — Documents & Charters” section of our website, www.logmeininc.com, requires that all proposals to engage Deloitte & Touche LLP for services, and all proposed fees for these services, be submitted to the Audit Committee for approval before Deloitte & Touche LLP may provide the services. From time to time, our Audit Committee may pre-approve specified types of services that are expected to be provided to us by our registered public accounting firm during the next twelve months. Any pre-approval is also generally subject to a maximum dollar amount, and the Audit Committee is informed of each service once it has been provided.

PROPOSAL 3 — APPROVAL OF THE LOGMEIN, INC. 2019 EMPLOYEE STOCK Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”)

Our Board of Directors has adopted and is requesting that our stockholders approve the LogMeIn, Inc. 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) so that eligible employees may purchase LogMeIn shares pursuant to a plan which is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. If the ESPP is not approved by our stockholders within 12 months following its adoption, the ESPP will have no further force and effect.

We operate in a highly competitive and challenging marketplace in which our success depends to a great extent on our ability to attract and retain high-caliber employees. We believe that offering the ESPP to eligible employees of the Company and its participating subsidiaries assists with these challenges. Such a plan provides eligible employees with a convenient means of acquiring an equity interest in the Company through payroll deductions to enhance such employees’ sense of participation in the affairs of the Company and its participating subsidiaries, and to provide an incentive for continued employment.

The ESPP authorizes the issuance of up to 1,500,000 shares of our common stock, which may be adjusted for changes in our capitalization and certain corporate transactions, as described below under the heading “Adjustments.” This share reserve represents 3% of our outstanding shares of common stock on April 10, 2019. We cannot precisely predict our share usage under the ESPP as it will depend on a range of factors including the level of our employee participation, the contribution rates of participants, the trading price of our common stock and our future hiring activity.

If approved, the ESPP is expected to be a significant part of our overall equity compensation strategy, especially with respect to our non-executive employees. The ESPP allows our employees to buy shares of our common stock at a discount through payroll deductions. In the industry in which we compete for talent, we believe that offering an employee stock purchase program is important to our ability to maintain competitiveness.

Our Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the approval of the ESPP.

2019 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

PROPOSAL 3 (continued)

 

Summary of the ESPP

The principal features of the ESPP are summarized below, but the summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the ESPP itself, which is attached as Annex B to this Proxy Statement.

Purpose

The ESPP has been designed to assist our eligible employees in acquiring a stock ownership interest in our Company and to encourage our eligible employees to remain in our employment.

Securities Subject to the ESPP

A total of 1,500,000 shares of our common stock are initially reserved for issuance under our ESPP, which may be adjusted for changes in our capitalization and certain corporate transactions, as described below under the heading “Adjustments.”

Administration

Our Board of Directors or its committee has full and exclusive authority to interpret the terms of the ESPP and determine eligibility. Our Compensation Committee will be the “Administrator” of the ESPP.

Eligibility

The Administrator may designate certain of our subsidiaries as participating “designated subsidiaries” in the ESPP and may change these designations from time to time. Employees of the Company and our designated subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the ESPP if they meet the eligibility requirements under the ESPP established from time to time by the Administrator. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, our employees are eligible to participate in the ESPP if they are customarily employed by us or a designated subsidiary for more than 20 hours per week and more than five months in any calendar year. However, an employee may not be granted rights to purchase stock under our ESPP if such employee, immediately after the grant, would own (directly or through attribution) stock possessing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of our common stock or other class of stock.

If the grant of a purchase right under the ESPP to any eligible employee who is a citizen or resident of a foreign jurisdiction would be prohibited under the laws of such foreign jurisdiction or the grant of a purchase right to such employee in compliance with the laws of such foreign jurisdiction would cause the ESPP to violate the requirements of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code, or the Code, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, such employee will not be permitted to participate in the ESPP.

Eligible employees become participants in the ESPP by enrolling and authorizing payroll deductions by the deadline established by the Administrator prior to the relevant offering date. Directors who are not employees, as well as consultants, are not eligible to participate in the ESPP. Employees who choose not to participate, or are not eligible to participate at the start of an offering period but who become eligible thereafter, may enroll in any subsequent offering period.

As of March 31, 2019, we had approximately 3,554 employees, of whom approximately 3,315 would have been eligible to participate in the ESPP had it been in effect on such date. Also as of that date, we did not have any consultants or non-employee directors eligible to participate in the ESPP.

Participation in an Offering

Offering Periods and Purchase Periods. The ESPP is intended to qualify under Section 423 of the Code and common stock will be offered under the ESPP during offering periods. The length of the offering periods under the ESPP will be determined by the Administrator and may be up to 27 months long. Employee payroll deductions will be used to purchase shares on each purchase date during an offering period. The number of purchase periods within, and purchase dates during, each offering period will be established by the Administrator prior to the commencement of each offering period. Offering periods under the ESPP will commence when determined by the Administrator. The Administrator may, in its discretion, modify the terms of future offering periods.

Enrollment and Contributions. The ESPP permits participants to purchase common stock through payroll deductions of up to 25% of their eligible compensation, which includes a participant’s gross base compensation for services to us, including overtime payments and sales commissions, but excluding incentive compensation, bonuses, expense reimbursements, fringe benefits, equity compensation and other special payments. The Administrator will establish a maximum number of shares that may be purchased by a participant during any offering period, which, in the absence of a contrary designation, will be 3,000 shares. In addition, and to the extent required under Section 423 of the Code, no employee will be permitted to accrue the right to purchase stock under the ESPP at a rate in excess of $25,000 worth of shares during any calendar year during which such a purchase right is outstanding (based on the fair market value per share of our common stock as of the first day of the offering period during which such right is granted).

Purchase Rights. On the first trading day of each offering period, each participant will automatically be granted an option to purchase shares of our common stock. The option will be exercised on the applicable purchase date(s) during the offering period, to the extent of the payroll deductions accumulated during the applicable purchase period.

Purchase Price. The purchase price of the shares, in the absence of a contrary determination by the Administrator, and subject to applicable laws and provisions of the ESPP, will be 85% of the lower of the fair market value of our common stock on the first trading day of the offering period or on the applicable purchase date, which will be the final trading day of the applicable purchase period. The fair market value per share of our common stock under the ESPP, generally is the closing sales price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the date for which fair market value is being determined, or if there is no closing sales price for a share of our common stock on the date in question, the closing sales price for a share of common stock on the last preceding date for which such quotation exists. The closing price per share of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on April 10, 2019, was $83.44.

2019 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

PROPOSAL 3 (continued)

 

Withdrawal and Termination of Employment. Participants may voluntarily end their participation in the ESPP at any time at least five business days prior to the end of the applicable offering period, and will be paid their accrued payroll deductions that have not yet been used to purchase shares of common stock. Participation ends automatically upon a participant’s termination of employment.

Adjustments

In the event of certain transactions or events affecting our common stock, such as any stock dividend or other distribution, change in control, reorganization, merger, consolidation or other corporate transaction, the Administrator will make equitable adjustments to the ESPP and outstanding rights. In addition, in the event of the foregoing transactions or events or certain significant transactions, including a change in control, the Administrator may provide for either (1) the replacement of outstanding rights with other rights or property or termination of outstanding rights in exchange for cash, (2) the assumption or substitution of outstanding rights by the successor or survivor corporation or parent or subsidiary thereof, if any, (3) the adjustment in the number and type of shares of stock subject to outstanding rights and/or in the terms and conditions of outstanding rights, (4) the use of participants’ accumulated payroll deductions to purchase stock on a new purchase date prior to the next scheduled purchase date and termination of any rights under ongoing offering periods or (5) the termination of all outstanding rights.

Transferability

A participant may not transfer rights granted under the ESPP other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or as otherwise provided under the ESPP.

Plan Amendment and Termination

The Administrator may amend, suspend or terminate the ESPP at any time. However, stockholder approval of any amendment to the ESPP will be obtained for any amendment which increases the aggregate number or changes the type of shares that may be sold pursuant to rights under the ESPP or changes the ESPP in any manner that would cause the ESPP to no longer be an employee stock purchase plan within the meaning of Section 423(b) of the Code.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

The material federal income tax consequences of the ESPP under current federal income tax law are summarized in the following discussion, which deals with the general tax principles applicable to the ESPP. The following discussion is based upon laws, regulations, rulings and decisions now in effect, all of which are subject to change. Foreign, state and local tax laws, and employment, estate and gift tax considerations are not discussed due to the fact that they may vary depending on individual circumstances and from locality to locality. The summary does not discuss all aspects of federal income taxation that may be relevant in light of a participant’s personal circumstances.

The ESPP, and the right of participants to make purchases thereunder, is intended to qualify under the provisions of Section 423 of the Code. Under the applicable Code provisions, no income will be taxable to a participant until the sale or other disposition of the shares purchased under the ESPP. This means that an eligible employee will not recognize taxable income on the date the employee is granted an option under the ESPP. In addition, the employee will not recognize taxable income upon the purchase of shares. Upon such sale or disposition, the participant generally will be subject to tax in an amount that depends upon the length of time such shares are held by the participant prior to disposing of them. If the shares are sold or disposed of more than two years from the date of grant and more than one year from the date of purchase, or if the participant dies while holding the shares, the participant (or his or her estate) will recognize ordinary income measured as the lesser of (1) the excess of the fair market value of the shares at the time of such sale or disposition (or death) over the purchase price or (2) an amount equal to the applicable discount from the fair market value of the shares as of the date of grant. Any additional gain will be treated as long-term capital gain. If the shares are held for the holding periods described above but are sold for a price that is less than the purchase price, there is no ordinary income and the participating employee has a long-term capital loss for the difference between the sale price and the purchase price.

If the shares are sold or otherwise disposed of before the expiration of the holding periods described above, the participant will recognize ordinary income generally measured as the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date the shares are purchased over the purchase price and we will be entitled to a tax deduction for compensation expense in the amount of ordinary income recognized by the employee. Any additional gain or loss on such sale or disposition will be long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on how long the shares were held following the date they were purchased by the participant prior to disposing of them. If the shares are sold or otherwise disposed of before the expiration of the holding periods described above but are sold for a price that is less than the purchase price, the participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date of purchase over the purchase price (and we will be entitled to a corresponding deduction), but the participant generally will be able to report a capital loss equal to the difference between the sales price of the shares and the fair market value of the shares on the date of purchase.

New Plan Benefits

Benefits under the ESPP will depend on the employees’ enrollment and contribution elections, and the fair market value of the shares at various future dates. Therefore, it is not possible to determine the benefits that will be received in the future by participants in the ESPP.

Our Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the approval of the ESPP.

PROPOSAL 4 — ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION (A “SAY ON PAY”)

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, or the Dodd-Frank Act, enables our stockholders to vote to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement.

Our objectives with respect to executive compensation are to (i) attract, motivate, and retain talented executive officers, (ii) promote the achievement of key financial and strategic performance measures by linking short- and long-term cash and equity incentives to the achievement of measurable corporate and, in some cases, individual performance goals and (iii) align the incentives of our executives with the creation of value for our stockholders. Under these programs, our named executive officers are rewarded for the achievement of specific annual, long-term and other business-related goals, and the realization of increased stockholder value. To achieve these objectives, our Compensation Committee, in conjunction with a third-party compensation consultant, reviews and evaluates our executive compensation program with the goal of setting compensation at levels the Committee believes are competitive in our industry and region. In addition, our executive compensation program ties a substantial portion of each executive’s overall compensation to key financial and operational goals such as our financial and operational performance. We also provide a portion of our executive compensation in the form of time-based equity incentive awards, which we believe helps to retain our executives and aligns their interests with those of our stockholders by allowing them to participate in the longer-term success of our Company as reflected in stock price appreciation over the vesting period. The “Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this proxy statement, beginning on page 39, describes in detail our executive compensation programs and the decisions made by the Compensation Committee and our Board of Directors, with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

We are asking our stockholders to indicate their support and approval for our named executive officer compensation as described herein. This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on our named executive officers’ compensation. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this proxy statement. Our Board of Directors is asking stockholders to approve a non-binding advisory vote on the following resolution:

RESOLVED, that, pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the compensation discussion and analysis, the compensation tables and any related material disclosed in this proxy statement, is hereby approved.

The say-on-pay vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on the Company, the Compensation Committee or our Board of Directors. However, our Board of Directors and our Compensation Committee value the opinions of our stockholders and to the extent there is any significant vote against the named executive officer compensation as disclosed in this proxy statement, they will consider any stockholder’s concerns and the Compensation Committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns.

Our Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the approval of the compensation of the named executive officers.

Executive Summary

Use of non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our consolidated financial statements which are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and presented on a GAAP basis, the Company discloses certain non-GAAP financial measures in our Compensation Discussion and Analysis. Please see Annex A to this Proxy Statement for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures.

Significant 2018 Business Highlights

 

 

 

1.The amounts herein represent non-GAAP measures, a reconciliation of which has been included in Annex A to this Proxy Statement.

2.Assumes $100 invested on 12/13/2013 in stock or index, including investment of dividends. Fiscal year ending December 31.

Our Executive Compensation Philosophy

We believe in the importance of aligning the financial interests of our executive officers with those of our stockholders. Therefore, a significant portion of our named executive officers’ compensation is designed to be variable and tied to our achievement of key financial and strategic performance objectives, the performance of our stock price, or both, which helps us incentivize our executive officers to create value for our stockholders.

Our executive compensation program has been designed to attract, retain and motivate talented executives. Accordingly, when setting individual executive compensation levels, the Compensation Committee generally targets executive compensation at levels that are competitive with other public and private companies in our industry and region with whom we compete for talent. Actual target pay positioning may vary by individual depending on the experience level and performance of the executive and other factors, such as the demand for executives with certain skills and experience and the costs associated with recruiting qualified executives from other established companies.

2019 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

 

What We Do vs. What We Don’t Do

We believe in maintaining sound executive compensation policies and practices, including compensation-related corporate governance standards, consistent with our executive compensation philosophy. Below we summarize those executive compensation policies and practices we have implemented to help drive executive performance, as well as practices we have chosen not to implement because we believe such practices do not support our stockholders’ long-term interests:

 

What We Do

   Emphasize Pay-for-Performance — in 2018 all of our executive officers, including our named executive officers, received equity awards with performance-based vesting conditions and all of our executive officers (except for Mr. D’Angelo who is on a sales commission plan) participated in our annual performance-based cash incentive bonus plan, which compensates our executive officers for our achievement of operational and financial goals, thereby aligning our executive incentives with our performance and the creation of stockholder value. Additionally, at least 50% of the target total direct compensation opportunity of our CEO consisted of performance-based equity and performance-based cash pay in 2018. Payouts under our cash incentive bonus plan are capped at 120% of each executive officer’s target bonus opportunity.

   Use “Double-Trigger” Change-in-Control Provisions — the equity awards granted to our named executive officers contain a “double trigger” payment provision, that is, they require both a change-in-control of the Company and an involuntary termination of employment to receive accelerated vesting.

   Equity Ownership Guidelines — all of our Section 16 executive officers are required to, within five years from the date of his/her hire or promotion, own shares of our common stock having an aggregate value at least equal to: (i) three times the base salary for our CEO and (ii) one times the base salary for all other executive officers.

   Annual “Say-on-Pay” Vote — we conduct our “say-on-pay” vote on an annual basis to allow our stockholders to provide us with their direct input on our executive compensation program, policies, and practices as disclosed in our proxy statement each year.

 

   Offer Both Equity and Cash Incentives — the compensation packages offered to our executive officers consist of a combination of base salary, performance-based equity awards and annual performance-based cash incentive bonuses, which we believe incentivizes our executive officers to achieve performance results that deliver both short-term and long-term stockholder value.

   Compensation Recovery (“Clawback”) Policy — the incentive-based cash compensation paid to our executive officers under our annual cash incentive bonus plan is subject to an executive compensation recovery, or “clawback,” policy which requires the reimbursement of excess compensation in the event that we are required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the fraud or misconduct of any of our executive officers.

   Engage an Independent Compensation Consultant — in addition to our Compensation Committee members, all of whom are independent directors, our Compensation Committee has retained a compensation consultant to serve as its independent advisor. The compensation consultant reports directly to our Compensation Committee and provides the Committee with competitive market data and additional information needed to make informed compensation decisions.

   Avoid Undue Risk-Taking — our compensation policies and practices are designed to discourage our executive officers from taking on or creating risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

 

 

What We Don’t Do

   No Re-pricing Stock Options — we do not re-price our stock options and would not do so without stockholder approval.

   No Hedging or Pledging — we prohibit our executive officers from engaging in margin, hedging, pledging or other similar transactions in our securities.

   No Resetting of 2018 Performance Targets — we did not reset or amend any of the performance goals or targets used in our incentive compensation programs in 2018.

 

   No Excise Tax Gross-Ups or Perquisites — we do not provide our executive officers with excise tax gross-ups, perquisites or fringe benefits.

   No Fixed Term or Evergreen Employment Agreements — none of our executive officers are currently party to a written employment agreement that provides for automatic or pre-scheduled increases in their base salary or guaranteed annual bonuses or equity awards.

Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

 

How We Set our 2018 Executive Compensation Program

Results of Last Year’s “Say-on-Pay” Vote

At our 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, approximately 95.3% of the votes cast by stockholders on the compensation of our named executive officers, commonly referred to as a “say-on-pay” vote, were cast in support of the 2017 compensation of our named executive officers. While the “say-on-pay” vote is non-binding, the Compensation Committee and our Board of Directors pay close attention to the results and given the strong level of support evidenced by last year’s say-on-pay vote, the Compensation Committee determined that our stockholders were generally supportive of our current executive compensation philosophy and program and decided that no significant changes were necessary for our 2018 executive compensation program.

Nevertheless, the Compensation Committee and our Board of Directors continue to regularly monitor the executive compensation program to ensure it continues to align the interests of our executive officers with the interests of our stockholders.

Role of Stockholder Engagement

We believe in the importance of regularly engaging with our stockholders. In recent years, we have proactively reached out to many of our largest stockholders, as well as well-known proxy advisory firms, to solicit their feedback on the elements of our executive compensation program, our disclosure practices and our corporate governance in order to gain a better understanding of the practices they most value. Typically, our stockholder engagement team has consisted of one or more members of our investor relations, finance or legal teams. Stockholders also regularly meet with members of our senior management team to discuss our strategy and/or review our operational performance. During 2018, we met with approximately 50 of our most active stockholders, which collectively held approximately 75% of our outstanding shares. These engagement efforts and meaningful conversations provided our management team with a valuable understanding of investors’ perspectives and an opportunity to exchange views.

In recent years, stockholder feedback has influenced certain changes made to our executive compensation program, including the introduction of performance-based RSU awards with multi-year performance periods for our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the implementation of an executive compensation recovery, or “clawback,” policy, and the establishment of stock ownership guidelines for our executive officers and non-employee directors. The Compensation Committee will continue to consider material stockholder feedback and the results of our say-on-pay votes when making future compensation decisions for our named executive officers.

2019 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

 

Role of the Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors oversees our executive compensation program and approves all executive compensation decisions. Near the beginning of each fiscal year, the Compensation Committee meets to review the executive compensation program, set the Company’s compensation peer group, establish the company-wide performance measures used to determine each executive officer’s annual cash bonus opportunities for the fiscal year and review the total compensation for our executive officers to ensure consistency with our overall compensation philosophy.

Role of Our Chief Executive Officer

We believe that our Chief Executive Officer is uniquely positioned to help our Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee in many of its compensation decisions as he possesses detailed knowledge of the issues, opportunities and challenges facing us, our business and our industry, which help him to identify the key performance measures and indicators that may be used in setting incentive-based compensation. Our Chief Executive Officer is also close enough to our day-to-day operations to be able to identify key contributors and top performers within the Company and help ensure that their compensation accurately reflects their responsibilities, performance, future expectations and experience levels. For these reasons, the feedback and recommendations of our Chief Executive Officer is often taken into consideration by our Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee when setting compensation levels for our executive officers, other than himself.

Role of the Compensation Consultant and Other Advisors

The Compensation Committee has retained Compensia, a nationally-recognized compensation consulting firm, to serve as its independent compensation consultant. In this role, Compensia reports directly to the Compensation Committee and, as requested by the Committee, attends certain Compensation Committee meetings, executive sessions and preparatory meetings with the Committee chair. Compensia uses the competitive market data described below to provide the Committee with compensation ranges that are consistent with our compensation peer group for the Compensation Committee to consider and also reviews the Compensation Committee’s proposed compensation decisions. Compensia did not provide any other services for LogMeIn in 2018.

In compliance with the disclosure requirements of the SEC and the listing standards of NASDAQ regarding the independence of compensation consultants, the Compensation Committee has assessed each of the six independence factors established by the SEC and the NASDAQ and has determined that the engagement of Compensia does not raise any conflicts of interest or similar concerns. In addition, the Compensation Committee evaluated the independence of its other outside advisors to the Compensation Committee, including outside legal counsel, considering the same independence factors and concluded their work for the Compensation Committee also does not raise any conflicts of interest.

2019 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

 

Use of Competitive Market Data

Our Compensation Committee works with Compensia to regularly review competitive market data and analysis based on a select group of peer companies, including information about current market practices and trends, compensation structures and peer group compensation ranges. The comparative market data Compensia provides is based on a compensation peer group approved by the Compensation Committee with input from Compensia. Typically, this compensation peer group is comprised of software-as-a-services (“SaaS”) companies that are considered comparable to LogMeIn based on financial criteria, such as revenue, market capitalization and growth history and potential.

For fiscal 2018, the compensation peer group differed from our fiscal 2017 compensation peer group due to certain companies being acquired and certain companies who were no longer deemed comparable in terms of revenue and market capitalization (based on our fiscal 2017 results). As a result, the fiscal 2018 compensation peer group utilized in deriving market data to aid in setting our executive compensation program, consisted of the following SaaS companies (the “2018 Peer Group”):

 

 

•   ANSYS, Inc. (ANSS)

•   AthenaHealth, Inc. (36A.BE)

•   BlackBaud, Inc. (BLKB)

Elements of Our Executive Compensation Program

The table below and the Executive Compensation Program Narrative that follows identify and describe the individual elements of our executive compensation program:

 

Element

Form of Compensation

Objectives & Factors

Base Salary

A fixed cash payment

 

•   Designed to establish a compensation foundation at levels that are competitive with our peers to attract and retain talented executives.

•   Factors considered when setting base salary levels include experience, scope and importance of job responsibilities, the relative ease or difficulty of replacing the individual with a well-qualified person, competitive market data and individual and Company performance.

•   Base salaries are evaluated on an annual basis and adjusted where deemed appropriate.

 

Annual Cash Incentive Bonus

A variable cash payment based on our actual level of achievement as measured against pre-established performance objectives

 

•   Designed to motivate and reward executives for the achievement of key pre-established financial and operational performance objectives for the applicable fiscal year as set by the Compensation Committee.

•   Factors considered when setting target bonus opportunities include experience, scope and importance of job responsibilities, the relative ease or difficulty of replacing the individual with a well-qualified person, competitive market data, and individual and Company performance.

•   Target bonus opportunities are established as a percentage of base salary and are evaluated on an annual basis and adjusted where deemed appropriate.

 

Equity Awards

Equity compensation, typically in the form of time-based RSU awards and performance-based RSU awards, the values of which may vary depending on our overall performance and attainment of performance targets

 

•   Designed to retain and motivate executives and align their interests with those of our stockholders by linking a percentage of their compensation with the creation of value for our stockholders.

•   Factors considered when determining equity award types and amounts include the grant date fair value of equity awards using, where applicable, a Monte Carlo simulation, the current and projected value of existing equity awards and the percentage of such existing equity awards that have vested, competitive market data, individual as well as Company performance, criticality of the individual role and how the award reasonably fits within the Company’s total equity budget at the time of grant.

•   It is in the discretion of our Board of Directors or Compensation Committee to determine the amounts and types of equity awards to be granted.

 

Other Benefits

Consists of general employee benefits, such as medical and dental care plans, life insurance and disability insurance, as well as an employee assistance program, maternity and paternity leave plans and a Section 401(k) plan

 

•   These other benefits are offered to all employees and are designed to provide basic employee benefits generally consistent with those offered by other members of our compensation peer group. We make an employer match equal to 50% of the amount contributed by the employee, up to a maximum of 6% of the employee’s earnings.

2018 Executive Compensation for Messrs. Strassman and Van Zadelhoff

Messrs. Strassman and Van Zadelhoff both joined LogMeIn as new hires in November 2018. Mr. Strassman, after spending more than 25 years in product management in the software industry, was hired as our Senior Vice President and General Manager, Unified Communications and Collaboration and is responsible for leading our largest business unit, while Mr. Van Zadelhoff, a 20-year IT and security industry veteran with experience in strategy, venture capital, business development and marketing, was hired as our SVP, Chief Operating Officer to lead all of our customer-facing operations across our entire portfolio, including sales, marketing and customer care. Both new hires filled important roles needed to help us achieve our go-forward strategy of accelerating revenue growth by expanding into some of the largest markets in technology today, Unified Communications & Collaboration, Identity and Access Management, and Customer Engagement and Support.

As part of our search to fill these critical roles, we retained an external executive recruiting firm to identify qualified potential candidates. Once Mr. Strassman and Mr. Van Zadelhoff were identified as LogMeIn’s top candidates, our Compensation Committee, working with Mr. Wagner, our external compensation consultant and the external executive recruiting firm, formulated new hire compensation packages designed to attract and retain Messrs. Strassman and Van Zadelhoff. In setting the compensation packages for Messrs. Strassman and Van Zadelhoff, the Compensation Committee considered factors such as the compensation packages for Messrs. Strassman and Van Zadelhoff at their previous employers, competitive market pay levels at our peer companies for comparable roles, their levels of executive experience, the anticipated scope of their responsibilities and the importance of their expected contributions to the Company’s overall business goals and go-forward strategy.  

In connection with Mr. Van Zadelhoff’s appointment as our Chief Operating Officer in November 2018, the Board of Directors, on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved an annualized base salary of $500,000, an annual cash incentive bonus target of 100% base salary, a sign-on bonus of $275,000 and a new hire equity award valued at $5,790,952. In connection with Mr. Strassman’s appointment as our Senior Vice President and General Manager of our Unified Communications and Collaboration business unit in November 2018, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors approved an annualized base salary of $400,000, an annual cash incentive bonus target of 50% base salary, a sign-on bonus of $150,000 and a new hire equity award valued at $4,211,484.

The Compensation Committee and Board of Directors, working together with our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Human Resources Officer, determined Mr. Van Zadelhoff’s and Mr. Strassman’s new hire compensation packages after considering several factors including, compensation data for comparable positions at other companies and the need to provide meaningful retention incentives. One third of the equity awards consisted of PRSUs with a market-based vesting condition tied to the Company’s achievement of a specified relative total stockholder return goal over a two- and three-year performance period, as described further above, while the remaining equity awards vest one third annually over a three-year time period. The new hire compensation packages awarded to Messrs. Strassman and Van Zadelhoff were ultimately the result of arms-length negotiations between the Company, the external executive recruiting firm and Messrs. Strassman and Van Zadelhoff, and we believe that these compensation packages represent compensation that is necessary to attract top-executive candidates of Mr. Strassman’s and Mr. Van Zadelhoff’s caliber and experience to LogMeIn.

2019 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

 

Total Direct Compensation and Our Pay-for-Performance Alignment

The Compensation Committee evaluates executive compensation annually and bases its executive compensation decisions on each named executive officer’s total direct compensation opportunity. The total direct compensation opportunities of our named executive officers are generally comprised of a mix of cash compensation, in the form of base salaries and annual cash incentive bonuses, and long-term incentive compensation in the form of equity awards. Over the years, this total direct compensation mix has been designed so that the elements of variable pay, such as our annual cash incentive bonus awards and equity awards, represent a substantial portion of the total direct compensation opportunity awarded to our named executive officers.

Much like in recent years, at least 50% of Mr. Wagner’s 2018 total direct compensation opportunity was designed to be “at risk,” by tying at least half of his 2018 compensation opportunity to variable pay elements such as long-term equity incentive awards with performance-based vesting conditions, or PRSU awards, (as further described in the section below entitled “Equity Incentive Awards — Fiscal 2018 Equity Awards”) and our cash incentive bonus plan, which provides for a variable cash payment based on the Company’s achievement of certain pre-established financial goals. In addition, our other named executive officers had approximately one-third of their 2018 compensation opportunity tied to variable pay elements, which included long-term equity incentive awards with performance-based vesting conditions and awards under our cash incentive bonus plan.

By dedicating a meaningful percentage of our executives’ total direct compensation opportunity to these variable “at risk” pay elements rather than fixed pay elements like base salary, the Compensation Committee believes that we are able to better link executive incentives with the Company’s performance. The value of the target number of shares that may be earned under the 2018 PRSU awards granted to Mr. Wagner and to all of our named executive officers as a group, excluding Mr. Wagner, when calculated based on the value (i.e., the market value per share of our common stock as represented by the closing price of our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on the date of grant), represented 42% and 24%, respectively, of their total direct compensation opportunity, while 9% and 8%, respectively, of their 2018 total direct compensation opportunity was subject to our cash incentive bonus plan.

In keeping with the Company’s pay-for-performance philosophy, the fiscal 2018 equity awards granted to all of our named executive officers were comprised of a significant portion of PRSUs. The Compensation Committee believes that including PRSU awards in the total direct compensation opportunities of our executives whose individual performances and decisions have a direct impact on our Company’s performance helps to strengthen our overall pay-for-performance alignment by ensuring that a substantial portion of their compensation is aligned with the creation of value for our stockholders.

The following charts illustrate the breakdown of the total direct compensation pay mix awarded to Mr. Wagner and the average of all named executive officers (excluding our CEO) in fiscal 2018:

 

 

CEO Target Compensation Mix CFO Target Compensation Mix Restricted Stock Units 42% Salary 6% Target Bonus 6% Performance Stock Units 46% Restricted Stock Units 41% Salary 9% Target Bonus 5% Performance Stock Units 45% 52% Performance-Based Pay 50% Performance-Based

 

Includes new hire time-based restricted stock units granted to Messrs. Strassman and Van Zadelhoff, which were larger than the Company’s typical annual time-based restricted stock unit grants. For more detail regarding these grants, see “2018 New Hire Equity Awards” below.

Executive Compensation Program Narrative

Base Salaries

Overview

To ensure that we continue to attract, retain and motivate our executive officers, we believe that we must offer base salaries that are competitive with those base salaries offered by other similarly situated companies in our industry and region. We believe that our base salaries are representative of the overall experience, skills, knowledge and responsibilities required of all our employees, including our named executive officers. None of our executives are currently party to any employment agreement that provides for automatic or scheduled increases in their base salary.

Base salaries are reviewed by our Compensation Committee annually and are adjusted from time-to-time where deemed appropriate.

Fiscal 2018 Base Salaries

In establishing the base salaries for our named executive officers for fiscal 2018, our Compensation Committee considered the following factors:

LogMeIn’s financial profile and competitive environment;

the need to provide competitive compensation to attract, motivate and retain qualified leadership talent;

each named executive officer’s position, functional role and overall scope of responsibilities;

our Company’s overall performance against its stated goals, such as growth in sales and revenue, and the role each executive was expected to play in the Company achieving its financial, strategic and operational goals for fiscal 2018 and beyond;

the relative ease or difficulty of replacing the individual with a well-qualified person and the number of well-qualified candidates available to assume the individual’s role;

the individual’s overall job performance; and

the base salaries of similarly situated executive officers in the market.

The following table sets forth the fiscal 2018 base salaries and the percentage increase over their fiscal 2017 base salaries for each of our named executive officers for the year ended December 31, 2018:

Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

 

Annual Cash Incentive Bonuses

Overview

All of our named executive officers (except for Mr. D’Angelo who is on a sales commission plan as described further below) are eligible to earn an annual cash bonus under our performance-based annual Cash Incentive Bonus Plan. Our annual cash bonuses are intended to reward our executives for the achievement of our financial and operational performance goals and objectives for the applicable fiscal year. The target annual cash bonus opportunity (assuming achievement of 100% of our goals) for each named executive officer is set by the Compensation Committee at the beginning of each fiscal year and expressed as a percentage of the applicable executive officer’s base salary, with potential cash bonus opportunity generally commensurate with each executive’s role and responsibilities. Pursuant to the terms of our Cash Incentive Bonus Plan, the maximum aggregate amount that may be paid to any one bonus plan participant during any fiscal year is $3 million.

2018 Annual Cash Incentive Bonus Plan

For 2018, our named executive officers were eligible to earn an annual cash incentive bonus equal to the following percentages of their 2018 base salary:

 

At the beginning of each fiscal year, the Compensation Committee determines which key performance measures should be used to set the Company’s annual cash incentive bonus targets for the year. For fiscal 2018, the Company’s annual cash incentive bonus plan was tied to two key performance measures:

Non-GAAP operating income, which is defined as our GAAP income from operations adding back the impact of the fair value acquisition accounting adjustment on acquired deferred revenue, acquisition-related costs and amortization, litigation-related expense and stock-based compensation expense, as well as including amortization expense for acquired company internally capitalized software development costs adjusted in acquisition accounting; and

Non-GAAP revenue, which we define as our GAAP revenues adding back the impact of the fair value acquisition accounting adjustment on acquired deferred revenue.

For fiscal 2018, both performance measures and the target performance levels set by the Compensation Committee were prepared on a pro-forma basis excluding the financial results of the Jive acquisition. Please see Annex A to this Proxy Statement for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures.

2019 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

 

Our Compensation Committee believes that basing the annual cash incentive bonus plan on recognized indicators of overall top and bottom-line Company performance helps to align our executive incentives with the interests of our stockholders in a balanced manner as our Company’s achievement of the target performance levels set by the Compensation Committee for these measures should also translate into stockholder value. When setting the target performance levels for each performance measure, the Compensation Committee considers factors such as our historical performance, growth rates and current market conditions and designs each target performance level to require significant effort and rigorous operational success on the part of our executive officers and the Company as a whole. For fiscal 2018, the target performance levels for the non-GAAP revenue and non-GAAP operating income measures were each weighted equally as being worth 50% of the potential 2018 cash incentive bonus opportunity for each named executive officer. For the purposes of calculating the 2018 annual cash incentive bonuses:

Both the non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP revenue performance measures required the Company to achieve a threshold achievement level of at least 97% of the target performance level set by the Compensation Committee for each measure. At the threshold level, 50% of the portion of each named executive officer’s potential 2018 cash incentive bonus opportunity that was tied to the non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP revenue performance measures would be earned.

For the portion of each named executive officer’s cash incentive bonus opportunity that was tied to the non-GAAP revenue performance measure and non-GAAP operating income performance measure, participants were subject to a 97% performance threshold and total maximum potential payout of 120%. The achievement and payout in 2018 were calculated in accordance with the following:

Typically, annual cash incentive bonuses are paid after the completion of the applicable fiscal year, based on the Company’s actual results versus the target performance levels established by the Compensation Committee at the beginning of the year. In the event that the Company’s actual results exceed or fall short of the target performance levels, cash incentive bonus amounts are increased or decreased accordingly. Our actual 2018 cash incentive bonus plan results versus the Compensation Committee’s pre-established target performance levels for non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP revenues were as follows:

When the results of both performance measures were weighed together, the 2018 annual cash incentive bonuses for our named executive officers were awarded at approximately 89.4% of the established target performance levels and paid as follows:

Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

Messrs. Strassman and Van Zadelhoff received pro-rated portions of their cash bonus opportunity based on their November 2018 hire dates.

Mr. D’Angelo’s Fiscal 2018 Sales Commission Cash Incentive Plan

As our Senior Vice President, Chief Sales Officer, Mr. D’Angelo is not eligible to receive a bonus under our annual cash incentive bonus plan, but instead is assigned an annual sales quota approved by the Compensation Committee at the beginning of each year and is entitled to receive a monthly commission based on a percentage of the Company’s monthly sales bookings for each calendar month. The monthly sales bookings levels used to calculate Mr. D’Angelo’s commissions track the total contract value associated with subscription business closed during the applicable calendar month. Sales bookings are internal measures that we use to monitor our business and are not publicly disclosed in any form. We keep the target sales bookings levels and the percentage used to calculate Mr. D’Angelo’s commissions confidential for both operational and competitive reasons, but generally the annual sales quota assigned to Mr. D’Angelo and the sales bookings target levels for each calendar month are set at levels our Board of Directors has determined would require significant effort to achieve and would not be met by average or below average performance.

Based on our actual 2018 results, Mr. D’Angelo earned $407,315 in sales commissions in 2018.

Compensation Recovery (“Clawback”) Policy

The bonus awards granted under our annual cash incentive bonus plan are subject to our executive compensation recovery, or “clawback,” policy. This policy requires the reimbursement of excess incentive-based cash compensation paid to our executive officers in the event that we are required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the fraud or misconduct of any one of our executive officers. Pursuant to this policy, the Company may clawback the portion of any incentive-based cash compensation from our executive officers to the extent that the cash compensation paid was in excess of what would have been paid under the accounting restatement. This policy is applicable to all incentive-based cash compensation paid after the date of adoption of the policy (November 14, 2013) and it covers the three-year period preceding the date on which we are required to prepare the accounting restatement.

We also continue to monitor the SEC’s actions and will amend the policy to comply with the final regulations under Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act when they are adopted by the SEC.

In addition, if we are required, as a result of misconduct, to restate our financial results due to our material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirements under the federal securities laws, our CEO and CFO may be legally required to reimburse the Company for any bonus or other incentive-based compensation they received pursuant to the provisions of Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Equity Incentive Awards

Overview

Our equity incentive award program is the primary compensation vehicle used to offer long-term incentives to our executive officers. Historically, we have granted all of our employees, including our executive officers, stock-based awards under our Amended and Restated 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (our “2009 Plan”), typically in the form of stock options or restricted stock units, or RSUs. We believe that equity incentive awards provide our executive officers with a strong link to our Company’s long-term performance, create an ownership culture within our Company and help to further align the interests of our executive officers with those of our stockholders by incentivizing them to create stockholder value.

The Compensation Committee believes that RSU awards are a valuable component of our annual compensation program for a number of reasons, including the fact that the majority of executive compensation packages offered by the companies in our compensation peer group include RSUs, RSUs are potentially less dilutive to the Company’s earnings per share than options, and the effectiveness of RSUs as a retention tool for retaining executive officers and other key employees since the time-based vesting feature of our equity awards incentivizes our executive officers to remain in our employment throughout the duration of their applicable vesting periods.

When determining the size of the RSU awards to be granted to our named executive officers, our Compensation Committee generally estimates the grant date fair value of potential stock awards to be granted and also considers other factors such as:

(1)

the importance of each named executive officer to LogMeIn’s success and their expected contributions to the Company’s overall business goals as well as the relative ease or difficulty of replacing the executive with a well-qualified person;

(2)

the need to attract and retain qualified individuals in a competitive public company environment;

(3)

the portion of their existing equity incentive awards that have not yet vested;

(4)

the overall value of granting RSU awards as a retention tool.

In addition to the above factors, when determining the size of RSU awards to be granted to new hires, including Messrs. Strassman and Van Zadelhoff during 2018, our Compensation Committee also considers the value of the compensation opportunities such employees forfeit when they leave a former employer to join LogMeIn and the need to provide a meaningful retention incentive, as well as an analysis of executive equity incentive awards as a percentage of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock, the equity incentive awards granted to our named executive officers as a percentage of the total equity granted and the value of equity incentive awards granted to our named executive officers as a percentage of the total value of all equity granted and the Company’s annual equity burn rates.

Fiscal 2018 Equity Awards

The Compensation Committee awarded our named executive officers long-term equity incentive awards on the Company’s usual cadence at the May 31, 2018 meeting of our Board of Directors. In keeping with the Company’s pay-for-performance philosophy, 50% of the equity awards granted to Messrs. Wagner and Herdiech were time-based RSUs while the remaining 50% of the equity awards granted to Messrs. Wagner and Herdiech were PRSUs with a market-based vesting condition tied to the Company’s achievement of a relative total stockholder return goal, as described further below. The rest of the Company’s executive officers, including each of the named executive officers, also received both time-based RSUs and PRSUs. In deciding to grant all executives PRSU awards, our Compensation Committee determined that, since the individual performances and decisions of our executive team have a direct influence on our Company’s overall performance, it was especially important to align their interests with those of our stockholders by linking a meaningful percentage of their target total direct compensation with the creation of value for our stockholders.

The number of shares of our common stock underlying the May 2018 RSU and PRSU awards granted to our named executive officers were as follows:

The market-based PRSUs granted at the May 31, 2018 meeting of our Board of Directors provide that each executive officer will earn a specified number of shares of the Company’s common stock based on the Company’s relative total stockholder return, or TSR, performance. Specifically, the vesting of the PRSUs is tied to (a) the level of TSR realized by the Company’s stockholders over a two- and three-year performance period, as compared to the TSR realized for that same period by the S&P North American Technology Software Index, or the Index, which was selected by the Compensation Committee due to the fact that it is a well-known index specific to the Company’s industry that would be relatively simple for stockholders to track for the purposes of measuring the Company’s long-term performance, and (b) the individual’s continued service with the Company through the applicable performance period. 50% of the shares underlying our named executive officers’ 2018 PRSU award are subject to a two-year performance period from May 1, 2018 to May 1, 2020, while the remaining 50% of its underlying shares are subject to a three-year performance period from May 1, 2018 to May 1, 2021. In deciding to measure the Company’s performance over two- and three-year performance periods, the Compensation Committee determined that staggering the vesting schedules of the PRSUs as two- and three-year long-term equity incentive awards would help to maximize the retention value of these awards by incentivizing the award recipients incrementally over the three-year performance period.

For the purposes of calculating the actual number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be earned pursuant to the market-based PRSUs, 50% of the target number of shares underlying the 2018 PRSU awards may be earned for the two-year performance period, while the remaining 50% of the target number of shares underlying the 2018 PRSUs may be earned for the three-year performance period. Any shares that are not earned during the two-year performance period are forfeited and do not carry-over, or get applied, to the three-year performance period. Upon the conclusion of each performance period, the Compensation Committee shall determine the number of shares of our common stock earned by using the following formula:

 

Relative Performance Percentage = 100% + (the Company’s TSR – the Index’s TSR)

Once the applicable Relative Performance Percentage is calculated, the Compensation Committee will use this percentage to determine the actual number of shares of the Company’s common stock earned, which may range from 0% to 200% of the target number of shares granted depending on the Company’s level of achievement, as follows:

If the Relative Performance Percentage equals 67% or less, 0 shares subject to the PRSU shall vest;

If the Relative Performance Percentage falls between 68%—100%, then 100% of the target number of shares shall vest, minus 3% of the target number of shares for every 1% Relative Performance Percentage below 100%;

If the Relative Performance Percentage equals 100%, then 100% of the target number of shares shall vest;

If the Relative Performance Percentage falls between 100%—133%, then 100% of the target number of shares shall vest, plus an additional 3% of the target number of shares for every 1% Relative Performance Percentage above 100%, up to 133%; and

If the Relative Performance Percentage equals 134% or more, then 200% of the target number of shares shall vest. In no event shall the total number of shares that vest under each PRSU award exceed 200% of the target number of shares.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company’s TSR for a particular performance period is negative, then the total number of shares underlying the 2018 PRSU awards for such performance period that may be earned shall be capped at 100% of the on-target amount for such period, regardless of the Company’s TSR performance as compared to the Index’s TSR in such period.

2018 New Hire Equity Awards

In December 2018, in connection with the hire of Messrs. Strassman and Van Zadelhoff as our new GM, Unified Communications and Collaboration and our SVP, Chief Operating Officer, respectively, our Compensation Committee granted Mr. Strassman and Mr. Van Zadelhoff each new hire equity awards comprised of 75% time-based RSUs and 25% PRSUs with a market-based vesting condition tied to the Company’s achievement of a relative total stockholder return goal. In determining the size of the new hire grants awarded to Messrs. Strassman and Van Zadelhoff, the Compensation Committee considered the importance of each executive to LogMeIn’s success and their expected contributions to the Company’s overall business goals, the need to attract and retain top-executive talent in a competitive public company environment, as well as the value of the compensation opportunities these executives forfeited when they left their former employers to join LogMeIn.      

The number of shares of our common stock underlying the December 2018 RSU and PRSU awards granted to Messrs. Strassman and Van Zadelhoff were as follows:

The market-based PRSUs granted to Messrs. Strassman and Van Zadelhoff provide that each executive will earn a specified number of shares of the Company’s common stock based on the Company’s relative TSR performance subject to (a) the individual’s continued service with the Company through the applicable performance period and (b) the level of TSR realized by the Company’s stockholders over a two and three-year performance period, as compared to the TSR realized for that same period by the S&P North American Technology Software Index. 50% of the shares underlying Messrs. Strassman and Van Zadelhoff 2018 PRSU awards are subject to a two-year performance period from November 1, 2018 to December 1, 2020, while the remaining 50% of its underlying shares are subject to a three-year performance period from November 1, 2018 to December 1, 2021.

The same method described above for the fiscal 2018 equity awards granted to the other named executive officers is used to calculate the actual number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be earned pursuant to these market-based PRSUs granted to Messrs. Strassman and Van Zadelhoff.

Update on February 2017 Merger-Related Equity Awards

In February 2017, shortly after the Company completed its acquisition of the GoTo family of service offerings, or the GoTo Business, from Citrix, the Compensation Committee granted the Company’s executive officers a Merger-related equity award comprised of 50% time-based RSUs and 50% PRSUs with a performance-based vesting condition tied to the Company’s achievement of two Adjusted EBITDA Margin goals over a two-year cliff vesting period. Both the time-based and performance-based portions of the RSU awards had a vesting commencement date of February 14, 2017 and two-year cliff vesting schedules, each subject to their respective vesting conditions being satisfied.

For the time-based portion of the RSU awards, 100% of the shares subject to the time-based RSU awards vested on February 14, 2019, subject to the named executive officer continuing to be an employee, officer or director of, or consultant or advisor to, the Company on the vesting date. The PRSU portion of the awards had a performance-based vesting condition tied to the Company’s achievement of a two-year Adjusted EBITDA Margin goal, as measured over two performance periods with 50% of the PRSU subject to a performance period starting on January 1, 2017 and ending on December 31, 2017 (which includes the GoTo Business’ January 2017 revenue and Adjusted EBITDA), and the remaining 50% of the PRSU subject to a performance period starting on January 1, 2018 and ending on December 31, 2018. If the Adjusted EBITDA Margin target for the applicable performance period was not achieved, the portion of the PRSUs subject to that performance period would have been forfeited.

In deciding to select the Adjusted EBITDA Margin performance measure, the Compensation Committee considered the Company’s previously announced goal of achieving more than $100 million of run rate cost synergies within the first two years following the completion of the Merger, which was expected to benefit the Company’s stockholders by generating significant free cash flow and operational efficiencies needed to continuously improve the Company’s financial profile. The Compensation Committee believed that the Adjusted EBITDA Margin measure was the financial operating measure that most closely resembled the Company’s $100 million synergy goal and that by using the Adjusted EBITDA Margin measure they were aligning a substantial portion of our named executive officer’s compensation with the realization of the $100 million synergy goal and the creation of value for our stockholders. In connection with these grants:

“Adjusted EBITDA Margin” is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by non-GAAP revenue.

“Adjusted EBITDA” is GAAP net income (loss) excluding income tax expense (benefit); interest, and other (income) expense, net (including any non-cash cumulative translation adjustment gains and losses); depreciation and amortization; impact of fair value acquisition accounting adjustment on acquired deferred revenue; acquisition-related costs (including transaction fees, due diligence costs, professional fees, severance, retention bonuses, integration-related costs, and subsequent adjustments to our initial estimated amount of contingent consideration associated with acquisitions); stock-based compensation expense; restructuring charges; and litigation related expense.

“Non-GAAP revenue” is GAAP revenue excluding the impact of fair value acquisition accounting adjustment on acquired deferred revenue.

Our actual Adjusted EBITDA Margin results for the 2017 and 2018 performance periods versus the Compensation Committee’s pre-established target performance levels for Adjusted EBITDA Margin were as follows:

A reconciliation and description of these non-GAAP measures has been included in Annex A to this Proxy Statement.

Based on these results, the Compensation Committee deemed the performance-based vesting condition was achieved, resulting in 100% of the Merger-related PRSUs being earned by our executive officers. The following table summarizes the number of shares earned by our named executive officers which fully vested as of February 14, 2019:

These time-based RSUs had a vesting commencement date of February 14, 2017. 100% of shares subject to the time-based RSU awards vested on February 14, 2019, the two-year anniversary of the vesting commencement date.

(2)

These PRSUs had a vesting commencement date of February 14, 2017. 100% of shares subject to the PRSUs vested on February 14, 2019, the two-year anniversary of the vesting commencement date. This vesting was subject to (i) the Company’s achievement of its specified Adjusted EBITDA Margin target as measured over two performance periods, with 50% of the PRSU subject to the performance period starting on January 1, 2017 and ending on December 31, 2017 and the remaining 50% of the PRSU subject to the performance period starting on January 1, 2018 and ending on December 31, 2018; and (ii) the executive continuing to be an employee, officer or director of, or consultant or advisor to, the Company on the vesting date.

(3)

All shares of common stock reported above were forfeited in August 2018 when Mr. Battles left the Company. In accordance with his Separation Agreement dated July 26, 2018, Mr. Battles received a lump sum cash payment of $750,000, equivalent to the approximate cash value of three quarters of the merger-related PRSUs granted in 2017.

(4)

Messrs. Strassman and Van Zadelhoff joined the Company in November 2018 and therefore, did not receive any Merger-related equity awards in fiscal 2017.

New Hire Sign-on Bonuses

We provide sign-on bonuses on a case-by-case basis subject to our Compensation Committee’s analysis and determination whether it is necessary and appropriate to advance the Company’s interests, including to attract top-executive talent from other companies. We believe that, when used properly, sign-on bonuses can be an effective means of offsetting the compensation opportunities executives typically must forfeit when they leave a former employer to join LogMeIn.

In connection with Mr. Van Zadelhoff’s appointment as our Chief Operating Officer in November 2018, the Board of Directors, on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved a sign-on bonus of $275,000. In connection with Mr. Strassman’s appointment as our Senior Vice President and General Manager of our Unified Communications and Collaboration business unit in November 2018, on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board of Directors approved a sign-on bonus of $150,000. Each of these sign-on bonuses were paid, subject to taxes and applicable withholdings, within 30 days of the named executive officer’s respective start date and are subject to repayment on a pro-rated basis should either executive voluntarily resign or be terminated for cause within twelve months of their start date (other than in connection with a layoff).

Exchange Act Rule 10b5-1 Sales Plans

Certain of our directors and executive officers have adopted written plans, known as Rule 10b5-1 plans, in which they have contracted with a broker to buy or sell shares of our common stock on a periodic basis. Pursuant to these Rule 10b5-1 plans, a broker executes trades subject to parameters established by the director or executive officer upon entering into the plan, without further direction from them. Once entered into, the director or executive officer may amend or terminate the plan only in certain circumstances. We have implemented an internal policy that prevents our directors and executive officers from selling any shares of our common stock outside of a Rule 10b5-1 plan, regardless of whether or not they are in possession of material, nonpublic information.

Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

 

Tax Considerations for Equity Awards

Prior to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Reform”) that was signed into law December 22, 2017, Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally limited to $1 million the U.S. federal income tax deductibility of compensation paid in one year to a corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and certain other executive officers. Compensation that qualified as “performance-based” under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code was exempt from this $1 million limitation. As part of Tax Reform, the ability to rely on this “qualified performance-based compensation” exception was eliminated, and the limitation on deductibility was generally expanded to include all named executive officers. Although we maintained compensation arrangements that were intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code prior to the Tax Reform, subject to certain transition relief rules, we may no longer take a deduction for any compensation paid to our covered employees in excess of $1 million.

The Compensation Committee believes that the tax deduction is only one of several relevant considerations in setting compensation and stockholder interests are best served by not restricting the Compensation Committee’s discretion and flexibility in structuring compensation programs, even though such programs may result in non-deductible compensation expenses. Accordingly, achieving the desired flexibility in the design and delivery of compensation may result in compensation that in certain cases is not deductible for federal income tax purposes.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

We follow the Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 (“FASB ASC Topic 718”) for our stock-based compensation awards. FASB ASC Topic 718 requires us to measure the compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to our employees and members of our Board of Directors, including options to purchase shares of our common stock and other stock awards, based on the grant date “fair value” of these awards. This calculation is performed for accounting purposes and reported in the executive compensation tables required by the federal securities laws, even though the recipient of the awards may never realize any value from their awards.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

Each current executive officer (defined for purposes of the ownership guidelines as each executive officer subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act) or newly appointed executive officer is required to own, within five years from the date of his/her hire or promotion, shares of our common stock having an aggregate value at least equal to: (i) three times the base salary for our CEO and (ii) one times the base salary for all other executive officers. For purposes of this calculation, shares of the Company’s common stock held directly or indirectly by the executive officer are included, while any shares of our common stock subject to outstanding and unvested RSU awards or any outstanding and unvested, or vested but unexercised, stock option awards are excluded. Each executive officer remains subject to the stock ownership guidelines as long as they continue to be employed by the Company as an executive officer. Exceptions to the guidelines may be made in the case of extraordinary circumstances, such as personal hardship, in the Compensation Committee’s sole discretion.

Anti-Hedging and Pledging Policy

Our insider trading policy prohibits any employee, including the named executive officers, and any member of the Board of Directors from “hedging” ownership of Company securities by engaging in short sales or trading in any puts, calls and other derivatives involving Company securities. In addition, all of our executive officers and members of our Board of Directors are prohibited from purchasing Company securities on margin, borrowing against Company securities held in a margin account and pledging Company securities as collateral for a loan.

Equity Award Grant Policy

Equity award grants are made on a quarterly basis in the discretion of our Board of Directors or Compensation Committee consistent with our incentive compensation program objectives. The exercise price of any stock options granted pursuant to the 2009 Plan may not be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant.

Severance and Change in Control Benefits

Our named executive officers are entitled to certain severance payments and benefits in connection with a qualifying termination of employment, including a qualifying termination of employment occurring in connection with a change in control. For more detail regarding these benefits and why we grant them, please refer to the section entitled “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control” below.

The amounts reported in this column represent the grant date fair value of time-based and, where applicable, performance-based, RSU awards granted to our named executive officers in the applicable year, calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The amounts shown in this column do not represent the actual amounts paid to or that may be realized by the named executive officers during the applicable year or in the future. The assumptions used by us with respect to the valuation of these equity awards are set forth in Note 11 to our financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 21, 2018. The individual awards granted in fiscal 2018 reflected in this summary compensation table are further summarized below under “Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2018.”

(4)

The amounts reported include market-based PRSU awards. The market-based PRSU awards generally are earned based on the level of TSR realized by the Company’s stockholders over (i) a two-year performance period, and (ii) a three-year performance period, as compared to the TSR realized for that same period by a recognized stock index. For the purposes of calculating the actual number of shares of our common stock into which the market-based PRSU awards will convert, 50% of the target shares underlying the market-based PRSU awards have been allocated to the two-year performance period, while the remaining 50% of the target shares have been allocated to the three-year performance period. Consistent with FASB ASC Topic 718, the grant date fair value for both the two- and three-year TSR performance periods are included in the amounts reported for the year of grant and was determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model on the date the PRSU awards were granted.

(5)

The amounts reported include performance-based RSU awards with a performance-based vesting condition tied to the Company’s achievement of a two-year Adjusted EBITDA Margin goal, as measured over two performance periods with 50% of the PRSU subject to the performance period starting on January 1, 2017 and ending on December 31, 2017 and the remaining 50% of the PRSU subject to the performance period starting on January 1, 2018 and ending on December 31, 2018. If the Adjusted EBITDA Margin target for a performance period is not achieved, the portion of the PRSUs subject to that performance period shall be forfeited. For more detail regarding the performance of these awards, please refer to the section entitled “Update on February 2017 Merger-Related Equity Awards” below.

(6)

Mr. Battles left the Company in August 2018 and therefore, did not receive a fiscal 2018 annual cash incentive bonus. The amount reported represents a final of two retention payments made to Mr. Battles in connection with his employment offer from LogMeIn following the Merger.

(7)

The amounts reported in this column consist of cash incentive bonuses paid under our annual cash incentive bonus plan for the applicable year. See the “Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis-Components of our Executive Compensation-Annual Cash Incentive Bonuses” section for a description of this program. Typically, annual cash incentive bonuses earned by our named executive officers in a fiscal year are typically paid in February the following fiscal year.

(8)

Amounts represent Messrs. Strassman’s and Van Zadelhoff’s new hire sign-on bonuses of $150,000 and $275,000, respectively, which were paid within 30 days of their respective start dates. These sign-on bonuses are subject to repayment on a pro-rated basis should either executive voluntarily resign or be terminated for cause within twelve months of their start date (other than in connection with a layoff).

(9)

As our Senior Vice President of Global Sales, Mr. D’Angelo does not participate in our annual cash incentive bonus plan, but is instead assigned an annual sales quota by the Compensation Committee at the beginning of each year and is entitled to receive a monthly commission based on a percentage of our monthly sales bookings for each calendar month. The amounts reported consist of the annual commission earned by Mr. D’Angelo in each fiscal year.

(10)

The amounts reported in this column consist of medical insurance, dental insurance, life insurance and disability insurance premiums as well as any Section 401(k) plan matching contributions paid by us on behalf of the named executive officer for the applicable year.

(11)

The amount reported includes twelve months of Mr. Battles’ base salary, accrued paid time off, four months of COBRA coverage for the remainder of 2018 and $750,000, which represents the approximate cash value of three quarters of the Merger-related PRSUs granted to Mr. Battles in 2017. With the exception of COBRA premiums paid by the Company directly to its insurance providers, these severance payments were paid to Mr. Battles in a lump sum following his termination date in accordance with a Separation Agreement dated July 23, 2018 between Mr. Battles and the Company. See “Separation Agreement with Christopher K. Battles” below for a description of this agreement.

(1)

Our 2018 cash incentive bonus program for our named executive officers as recommended by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, was approved by the Board in February 2018. The actual amounts paid to our named executive officers as non-equity incentive plan awards for fiscal 2018 are reflected in the 2018 Summary Compensation Table above (and were paid under our Cash Incentive Bonus Plan). See the “Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis-Components of our Executive Compensation-Annual Cash Incentive Bonuses” section for a description of our cash incentive programs.

(2)

As our Senior Vice President of Global Sales, Mr. D’Angelo does not participate in our annual cash incentive bonus plan, but is instead assigned an annual sales quota by the Compensation Committee at the beginning of each year and is entitled to receive a monthly commission based on a percentage of our monthly sales bookings for each calendar month.

(3)

Consists of performance-based RSU awards granted pursuant to our 2009 Plan. The individual shares underlying these fiscal 2018 market-based PRSUs awarded to our named executive officers are earned based on the Company’s relative TSR performance as measured over two separate periods. The “threshold” number of shares reported is 0% of the performance-based RSU award granted, “target” number of shares shown is 100% of the performance RSUs granted and the “maximum” number of shares shown is 200% of the performance RSUs granted. See the “Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis-Components of our Executive Compensation-Equity Incentive Awards” section for additional information about these awards.

(4)

The underlying shares are subject to a two-year performance period from May 1, 2018 to May 1, 2020.

(5)

The underlying shares are subject to a three-year performance period from May 1, 2018 to May 1, 2021.

(6)

The underlying shares are subject to a two-year performance period from November 1, 2018 to December 1, 2020.

(7)

The underlying shares are subject to a three-year performance period from November 1, 2018 to December 1, 2021.

(8)

Consists of time-based RSU awards granted pursuant to our 2009 Plan. The time-based RSU awards granted in May 2018 vest in three equal installments over a three-year period beginning on the first anniversary of the effective date of grant, subject to the continued employment of the named executive officer.

(9)

Consists of time-based RSU awards granted pursuant to our 2009 Plan. The time-based RSU awards vest in three equal installments over a three-year period beginning on the first anniversary of the effective date of grant, subject to the continued employment of the named executive officer.

(10)

The amounts reported in this column represent the grant date fair value of RSU awards, including the performance-based RSU awards granted to our named executive officers in 2018, calculated in accordance with FASB ASC 718. Consistent with FASB ASC Topic 718, the full grant date fair value of the PRSU awards granted in 2018 has been calculated for the entire two-year and three-year performance cycles and determined using a Monte Carlo valuation model on the date the performance RSUs were awarded; therefore, no additional grant date fair value for the market-related component should be attributed to the award after its initial grant date.

(11)

Christopher Battles’ equity awards were forfeited at the time of his departure in August 2018 and he did not receive a non-equity incentive plan award for 2018.

(1)

Consists of time-based stock options granted pursuant to our 2009 Plan.

(2)

Consists of time-based RSUs granted pursuant to our 2009 Plan. The individual shares underlying this RSU vest (i) with respect to awards granted in February 2017, on the second anniversary of the date of grant and (ii) for all other awards, annually in three equal installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant, such that the shares underlying the RSUs are one hundred percent vested three years after the date of grant, subject, in each case, to the continued employment of the named executive officer.

(3)

The amount reported is based on market value per share of our common stock of $81.57, which represents the closing price of our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on December 31, 2018, the last trading day of fiscal 2018.

(4)

Consists of performance-based RSUs granted pursuant to our 2009 Plan. The February 2017 PRSUs are reported assuming the Company’s achievement of its Adjusted EBITDA Margin target in both the 2017 performance period and 2018 performance period. In early 2019, the Compensation Committee determined that the Adjusted EBITDA Margin performance condition was achieved and these PRSUs vested on February 14, 2019. All other PRSU awards are market-based and are reported assuming the achievement of the target level for each of the applicable TSR performance periods. The individual shares underlying the market-based PRSU awards vest upon the Company’s achievement of pre-established TSR performance goals. See the “Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis-Components of our Executive Compensation-Equity Incentive Awards” section for additional information about each of these awards.

(5)

The amount reported is based on (i) the Company’s achievement of its Adjusted EBITDA Margin target in both the 2017 performance period and 2018 performance period, and (ii) achieving the target level for each of the TSR performance goals, in each case, using the market value per share of our common stock of $81.57, which represents the closing price of our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on December 31, 2018, the last trading day of fiscal 2018.

(6)

The awards previously held by Mr. Battles that remained unvested at the time of his departure in August 2018 were forfeited at such time and therefore Mr. Battles did not hold any outstanding equity awards as of December 31, 2018.

(1)

The value realized on exercise is calculated by multiplying the number of shares of our common stock acquired upon exercise by the difference between the exercise price and the market price of our common stock at the time of exercise.

(2)

Represents the gross number of shares of our common stock subject to RSU awards that vested during the year ended December 31, 2018 and therefore does not account for the shares underlying each RSU award that were withheld, but not issued, by the Company upon vesting in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations associated with their vesting. To determine the appropriate number of shares to be withheld by the Company from each named executive officer for each vesting period, we multiply the named executive officer’s taxable gain by the statutory tax rates in effect for such named executive officer then divide the applicable tax withholding amount by the closing market price of our common stock on the vesting date.

(3)

The value realized on vesting has been calculated by multiplying the gross number of shares of our common stock acquired upon vesting by the market value per share of our common stock on the vesting date, which represents the closing market price of our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on the vesting date and does not exclude the value of the shares underlying each RSU award that were withheld, but not issued, by the Company upon vesting in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations associated with their vesting. The amounts shown in this column do not represent the actual amounts paid to or realized by the named executive officer during 2018.

Employment Agreements

We do not have formal employment agreements with any of our named executive officers. Instead, the initial compensation of each named executive officer is set forth in an employment offer letter that we execute with them upon the commencement of his or her employment. Typically, these offer letters set forth the applicable compensation, equity award vesting arrangements and post-employment compensation payments and benefits, if any, for each named executive officer. Each offer letter provides that the named executive officer’s employment is “at will.” As a condition to their employment, our named executive officers entered into non-competition, non-solicitation agreements and proprietary information and inventions assignment agreements. Under these agreements, each named executive officer has agreed (i) not to compete with us or to solicit our employees during his or her employment and for a period of 12 months after the termination of his or her employment and (ii) to protect our confidential and proprietary information and to assign to us intellectual property developed during the course of his or her employment.

Separation Agreement with Christopher K. Battles

In July 2018, we entered into a separation agreement with Mr. Battles pursuant to which he was entitled to receive the following severance payments and benefits in connection with his departure from the Company effective August 15, 2018: (i) a lump sum cash payment of $380,000, representing 12 months of his base salary; (ii) a lump sum cash payment of $750,000, representing the approximate cash value of 75% of the Merger-related PRSUs granted to Mr. Battles in 2017, which Mr. Battles earned and would have received if he had remained employed at the Company through the vesting date of the PRSUs; (iii) accrued paid time off and (iv) continued medical, dental and vision insurance coverage pursuant to COBRA through August 31, 2019. These severance payments and benefits are reflected in the “All Other Compensation” column of the 2018 Summary Compensation Table above. All unvested LogMeIn equity awards held by Mr. Battles were forfeited as of the date of his departure. Mr. Battles’ receipt of the separation payments and benefits was subject to his execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims in favor of the Company.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

Our general executive severance program states that the Company’s named executive officers would be entitled to receive a severance benefit equal to one (1) times their base salary and 12 months of COBRA insurance coverage in the event that their employment was terminated by the Company either without “Cause” or by them for “Good Reason.” We also maintain an additional executive severance program in the event of a “Change in Control.” In the event either Mr. Wagner or Mr. Herdiech were to be terminated within 24 months of a “Change in Control” either without “Cause” or by him for “Good Reason,” Mr. Wagner and Mr. Herdiech would be entitled to receive a severance benefit equal to two (2) times their base salary and target cash incentive bonus amount, plus an amount equal to 24 months of COBRA insurance coverage. All other executives would be entitled to receive a severance benefit equal to one (1) times their base salary and target cash incentive bonus amount, plus 12 months of COBRA insurance coverage if they were terminated within 24 months of a “Change in Control” either without “Cause” or by himself for “Good Reason.”

2019 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

 

In addition to the cash severance payments described above, the equity awards granted to all of our named executive officers include a ‘‘double trigger’’ vesting provision, which provides that, if the named executive officer’s employment is terminated (i) by us other than for “Cause,” death or disability or (ii) by the named executive officer for “Good Reason,” within 24 months following a Change in Control of the Company, any remaining outstanding and unvested portion of their applicable equity award will immediately become vested in full. This “double trigger” vesting provision has been included in all time-based and performance-based RSU awards granted to our named executive officers since 2012. Additionally, beginning in fiscal 2017, the agreements governing PRSU awards granted to our named executive officers also include a “double trigger” vesting provision that provides for the accelerated vesting of any unvested shares of our common stock that have been earned pursuant to the applicable performance-based vesting condition for the pro-rated performance period as measured as of the date of termination in the event their employment is terminated (i) by us other than for “Cause,” death or disability or (ii) by him for “Good Reason,” in either case, within 24 months following a Change in Control.

As used above:

A “Change in Control” means the sale of all or substantially all of the capital stock, assets or business of the Company, by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise (other than a transaction in which all or substantially all of the individuals and entities who were beneficial owners of the common stock immediately prior to such transaction beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the resulting, surviving or acquiring corporation in such transaction).

“Cause” means (a) a good faith finding by a majority of our Board of Directors (excluding the vote of the named executive officer, if then a director) that (i) the named executive officer has failed to perform his reasonably assigned material duties for the Company and, if amenable to cure, has not cured such failure after reasonable notice from the Company; (ii) the named executive officer has engaged in gross negligence or willful misconduct, which has or is expected to have a material detrimental effect on the Company; (iii) the named executive officer has engaged in fraud, embezzlement or other material dishonesty; (iv) the named executive officer has engaged in any conduct which would constitute grounds for termination for material violation of the Company’s policies in effect at that time and, if amenable to cure, has not cured such violation after reasonable notice from the Company; or (v) the named executive officer has breached any material provision of any nondisclosure, invention assignment, non-competition or other similar agreement between the named executive officer and the Company and, if amenable to cure, has not cured such breach after reasonable notice from the Company; or (b) the conviction by the named executive officer of, or the entry of a pleading of guilty or nolo contendere by the named executive officer to, any crime involving moral turpitude or any felony.

“Good Reason” means the occurrence, without the named executive officer’s written consent, of any of the following events or circumstances: (a) the assignment to the named executive officer of duties that involve materially less authority and responsibility and are materially inconsistent with the named executive officer’s position, role, authority or responsibilities in effect immediately prior to the earliest to occur of (i) the Change in Control or (ii) the date of the execution by the Company of the initial written agreement or instrument providing for the Change in Control; (b) the relocation of the named executive officer’s primary place of business to a location that results in an increase in the named executive officer’s daily one way commute of at least 30 miles; (c) the material reduction of the named executive officer’s annual salary (including base salary, commissions or bonuses) without the named executive officer’s prior consent; or (d) the failure of the Company to obtain the agreement from any successor to the Company to assume and agree to perform any retention agreement of the named executive officer. Notwithstanding the occurrence of any of the foregoing events or circumstances, such occurrence shall not be deemed to constitute “Good Reason” unless (x) the named executive officer gives the Company a notice of termination no more than 90 days after the initial existence of such event or circumstance and (y) such event or circumstance has not been fully corrected and the named executive officer has not been reasonably compensated for any losses or damages resulting therefrom within 30 days of the Company’s receipt of the notice of termination.

(1)

Severance benefits are equal to one (1) times their base salary and 12 months of COBRA insurance coverage in the event that the executive’s employment was terminated by the Company either without “Cause” or by themselves for “Good Reason.”

(2)

Represents a severance benefit equal to two (2) times their base salary and target cash incentive bonus amount, plus an amount equal to 24 months of COBRA insurance coverage in the event either Mr. Wagner or Mr. Herdiech were terminated within 24 months of a “Change in Control” either without “Cause” or by himself for “Good Reason.”

(3)

Calculated based on the number of RSUs and/or stock options, where applicable, that would vest, assuming a December 31, 2018 termination of employment, multiplied by $81.57, which represents the closing price of our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on December 31, 2018, the last trading day of fiscal 2018. For the purposes of determining the number of performance-based RSUs that would vest, assuming a December 31, 2018 employment termination, the performance period for all outstanding performance-based RSU awards was shortened to end on December 31, 2018 and the performance criteria shall have been deemed achieved and any shares earned would vest over the remaining period of time noted in the original grant.

(4)

The amount reported consists of (i) 12,500 time-based RSUs from Mr. Wagner’s January 7, 2016 grant, (ii) 18,750 performance-based RSUs from Mr. Wagner’s February 23, 2016 grant, (iii) 14,078 time-based RSUs and 14,078 performance-based RSUs from Mr. Wagner’s February 14, 2017 grant, (iv) 17,005 time-based RSUs and 25,507 performance-based RSUs from Mr. Wagner’s June 1, 2017 grant, and (v) 26,737 time-based RSUs and 26,737 performance-based RSUs from Mr. Wagner’s May 1, 2018 grant, all of which would accelerate pursuant to the “double trigger” change in control provision included in their applicable award agreements.

(5)

The amount reported consists of (i) 5,667 time-based RSUs and 8,500 performance-based RSUs from Mr. Herdiech’s May 26, 2016 grant, (ii) 5,922 time-based RSUs and 5,922 performance-based RSUs from Mr. Herdiech’s February 14, 2017 grant, (iii) 7,154 time-based RSUs and 10,731 performance-based RSUs from Mr. Herdiech’s June 1, 2017 grant, and (iv) 8,556 time-based RSUs and 8,556 performance-based RSUs from Mr. Herdiech’s May 1, 2018 grant, all of which would accelerate pursuant to the “double trigger” change in control provision included in their applicable award agreements.

(6)

Represents a severance benefit equal to one (1) times their base salary and target cash incentive bonus amount, plus 12 months of COBRA insurance coverage if they were terminated within 24 months of a “Change in Control” either without “Cause” or by himself for “Good Reason.” For purposes of calculating Mr. D’Angelo’s severance benefit, his target cash incentive sales commission for fiscal 2018 in the amount of $380,000 was used.

(7)

The amount reported consists of (i) 8,334 time-based RSUs from Mr. D’Angelo’s May 26, 2016 grant, (ii) 5,680 time-based RSUs and 5,680 performance-based RSUs from Mr. D’Angelo’s February 14, 2017 grant, (iii) 6,861 time-based RSUs from Mr. D’Angelo’s June 1, 2017 grant, and (iv) 16,042 time-based RSUs and 5,347 performance-based RSUs from Mr. D’Angelo’s May 1, 2018 grant, all of which would accelerate pursuant to the “double trigger” change in control provision included in their applicable award agreements.

(8)

The amount reported consists of 34,733 time-based RSUs and 11,577 performance-based RSUs from Mr. Strassman’s December 6, 2018 grant, all of which would accelerate pursuant to the “double trigger” change in control provision included in their applicable award agreements.

(9)

The amount reported consists of 47,759 time-based RSUs and 15,919 performance-based RSUs from Mr. Van Zadelhoff’s December 6, 2018 grant, all of which would accelerate pursuant to the “double trigger” change in control provision included in their applicable award agreements.

2019 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis (continued)

 

Indemnification Agreements

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors. Under these indemnification agreements, we agree to indemnify these directors to the fullest extent permitted by law for claims arising in his capacity as our director, officer, employee or agent, provided that he or she acted in good faith and in a manner that he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, our best interests and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable basis to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. In the event that we do not assume the defense of a claim against a director or executive officer, we are required to advance his or her expenses in connection with their defense, provided that they undertake to repay all amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined that they are not entitled to be indemnified by us.

We believe that these provisions and agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and executive officers. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling our Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the opinion of the SEC is that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

In addition, we maintain standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided to our directors and executive officers against losses arising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act, and to us with respect to payments which may be made by us to such directors and officers pursuant to the above indemnification provisions or otherwise as a matter of law.

CEO Pay Ratio

As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K (“Item 402(u)”), the Company is providing the following estimate of the ratio of the median of the annual total compensation of all of our employees except Mr. William Wagner, our President and CEO, to the annual total compensation of Mr. Wagner. We consider the pay ratio specified to be a reasonable estimate, calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u). We determined the pay ratio by dividing Mr. Wagner’s total 2018 compensation, as disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table, by the total 2018 compensation of our median employee, using the same components of compensation as used in the Summary Compensation Table for the CEO.

For the year ended December 31, 2018:

The total 2018 compensation of our median employee was estimated to be $73,872, which, for purposes of calculating the ratio below, was adjusted to $106,884 in order to accurately represent an annualized amount of the median employee’s 2018 compensation given that our median employee began employment with the Company on April 4, 2019;

the total 2018 compensation of Mr. William Wagner, our President and Chief Executive Officer, was $7,224,220. This amount was calculated in accordance with Item 402(u) and does not represent the actual amounts paid to or realized by Mr. Wagner during fiscal 2018; and

based on this information, the ratio of the total 2018 compensation of our Chief Executive Officer to the total 2018 compensation of our median employee is estimated to be 68:1.

Our median employee was determined using the compensation of our employee population of approximately 3,589 individuals, including employees working both within and outside of the U.S. who were actively employed on December 31, 2018. We used their total cash compensation including the grant date fair value of equity granted, if any, from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018 as a consistently applied compensation measure to identify our median employee. Consistent with SEC rules, we have annualized this number for part-time and full-time employees who were employed for less than the full year in 2018, but not for our employees whose positions are seasonal or temporary in nature. Once we identified the median employee, we determined their total compensation using the same methodology we use for calculating Mr. Wagner’s Summary Compensation Table compensation.

The CEO pay ratio was calculated in accordance with SEC rules based upon our reasonable judgment and assumptions. The SEC rules do not specify a single methodology for identification of the median employee or calculation of the pay ratio, and other companies may use assumptions and methodologies that are different from those used by us in calculating their pay ratio. Accordingly, the pay ratio disclosed by other companies may not be comparable to the Company’s pay ratio as disclosed above.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

We currently maintain an equity compensation plan that provides for the issuance of shares of our common stock to our officers, employees, directors, consultants and advisors. Our 2009 stock incentive plan, or 2009 Plan, became effective upon the closing of our initial public offering and was adopted by our Board of Directors on June 9, 2009, approved by our stockholders on June 12, 2009 and was most recently amended and restated as of January 31, 2017. Our 2009 Plan, as amended, provides for the grant of non-statutory stock options, restricted stock awards and other stock-based awards to our employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors. The total number of shares of our common stock allowed to be issued under the 2009 Plan is the sum of 14,723,996 shares plus the number of shares of our common stock subject to outstanding awards under our 2009 Plan, which expire, terminate or are otherwise surrendered, cancelled, forfeited or repurchased by us pursuant to a contractual repurchase right or are withheld, but not issued, by the Company upon vesting of full-value award shares in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations associated with their vesting.

The following table provides information about the securities authorized for issuance under our equity compensation plans as of March 31, 2019:

(2)

Represents 44,154 shares to be issued upon the exercise of outstanding stock options granted under our 2009 Plan. As of March 31, 2019, the 44,154 shares subject to issuance upon exercise of outstanding options had a weighted average exercise price of $29.79 and a weighted average remaining life of 3.09 years. This number does not include 1,323,841 restricted stock unit awards granted under our 2009 Plan which remained outstanding as of March 31, 2019 at a weighted average grant date fair value of $101.47.

(3)

As of March 31, 2019, a total of 6,427,040 shares remained available for grant under our 2009 Plan. The number of shares available under the 2009 Plan may increase by the number of shares of common stock subject to awards granted under our 2009 Plan which expire, terminate or are otherwise surrendered, cancelled, forfeited or repurchased by us at their original issuance price pursuant to a contractual repurchase right or are withheld, but not issued, by the company upon vesting full-value award shares in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations associated with their vesting.

Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each beneficial owner listed is c/o LogMeIn, Inc., 320 Summer Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02210.

(2)

For each person, the “Number of Shares Beneficially Owned” column may include shares of common stock attributable to the person because of that person’s voting or investment power or other relationship. The inclusion in the table of any shares, however, does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership of those shares by the named stockholder. Unless otherwise indicated, each person in the table has sole voting and investment power over the shares listed.

(3)

The number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each person is determined under rules promulgated by the SEC. Under these rules, a person is deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of any shares held, plus any shares that the person may acquire within 60 days, including through the exercise of stock options or the vesting of RSUs. Unless otherwise indicated, for each person named in the table, the number in the “Shares Acquirable Within 60 Days” column consists of shares covered by stock options that may be exercised within 60 days after April 2, 2019 and shares covered by RSUs that become vested within 60 days after April 2, 2019. Shares underlying performance-based RSUs that are scheduled to become vested within 60 days after April 2, 2019 have been included in this calculation at their target amount.

(4)

The percent ownership for each stockholder on April 2, 2019 is calculated by dividing (i) the total number of shares beneficially owned by the stockholder by (ii) the number of shares of our common stock outstanding on April 2, 2019 (50,120,127 shares) plus any shares acquirable by the stockholder within 60 days after April 2, 2019.

2019 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

 

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers and holders of more than 10% of our common stock, or reporting persons, to file reports with the SEC disclosing their ownership of, and transactions in, our common stock and other equity securities. Whenever a reporting person files a report with the SEC, the reporting person is also required to send us a copy. Based solely on our review of reports that we have received from the reporting persons or written representations from such persons, we believe that all of the reporting persons complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements during 2018.

The Board of Directors hopes that stockholders will attend the meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend, you are urged to vote your shares by Internet, mail or in person. A prompt response will greatly facilitate arrangements for the meeting, and your cooperation will be appreciated.

2019 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

 

ANNEX A

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this Proxy Statement, we present certain non-GAAP financial information, including non-GAAP revenue, cash incentive bonus plan non-GAAP revenue, merger-related equity award non-GAAP revenue, non-GAAP operating income, cash incentive bonus plan non-GAAP operating income and merger-related equity award Adjusted EBITDA. The exclusion of certain expenses in the calculation of non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that these costs are unusual or infrequent. We anticipate excluding these expenses in the future presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures.

The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare the Company’s performance to that of prior periods and uses these measures in financial reports prepared for management and the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the Company’s financial measures with other software-as-a-service companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. The Company does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant elements that are required to be recorded in our financial statements in connection with our GAAP results. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by management in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents our non-GAAP financial measures in connection with our GAAP results.

The Company urges investors to review the reconciliation of its non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures, which it includes in press releases announcing quarterly financial results, and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the Company’s business. Reconciliation tables of the most comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP measures used in this Proxy Statement are included below:

Annex A (continued)

 

How we define, calculate and use certain non-GAAP financial measures

The following Non-GAAP financial measures have been used in this Proxy Statement:

Non-GAAP revenue, which we define as our GAAP revenue adding back the impact of the fair value acquisition accounting adjustment on acquired deferred revenue.

Merger-Related equity award non-GAAP revenue, which we define for the year ended December 31, 2017 as our non-GAAP revenue including the GoTo Business’ January 2017 revenue.

Cash Incentive bonus plan non-GAAP revenue, which we define for the year ended December 31, 2018 as our non-GAAP revenue excluding 2018 Jive-related revenue post acquisition.

Non-GAAP operating income, which we define as GAAP net income (loss) from operations adding back the impact of the fair value acquisition accounting adjustment on acquired deferred revenue, acquisition-related costs and amortization, litigation-related expense, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges and gain on disposition of assets, as well as including amortization expense for acquired company internally capitalized software development costs adjusted in acquisition accounting.

Cash Incentive bonus plan non-GAAP operating income, which we define as our non-GAAP operating income excluding the Jive-related operating loss post acquisition.

Adjusted EBITDA, which we define as EBITDA adding back the impact of the fair value acquisition accounting adjustment on acquired deferred revenue, acquisition-related costs, litigation-related expense, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges and gain on disposition of assets.

Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by non-GAAP revenue.

Merger-Related Equity Award Adjusted EBITDA, which we define as EBITDA adding back the impact of the fair value acquisition accounting adjustment on acquired deferred revenue, acquisition-related costs, litigation-related expense, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges and the GoTo Business’ January 2017 Adjusted EBITDA.

Merger-Related equity award adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated by dividing Merger-Related equity award adjusted EBITDA by Merger-Related equity award non-GAAP revenue.

Non-GAAP free cash flow, which we define as our GAAP free cash flow excluding the impact of litigation related payments, contingent bonus payments, transaction- and transition-related tax payments and acquisition related payments.

SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

3.1

Number of Shares. Subject to Article VIII, the aggregate number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to rights granted under the Plan shall be 1,500,000 Shares. If any right granted under the Plan shall for any reason terminate without having been exercised, the Common Stock not purchased under such right shall again become available for issuance under the Plan.  

3.2

Stock Distributed. Any Common Stock distributed pursuant to the Plan may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued Common Stock, treasury stock or Common Stock purchased on the open market.

ARTICLE IV.

OFFERING PERIODS; OFFERING DOCUMENTS; PURCHASE DATES

4.1

Offering Periods. The Administrator may from time-to-time grant or provide for the grant of rights to purchase Common Stock under the Plan to Eligible Employees during one or more periods (each, an “Offering Period”) selected by the Administrator. The terms and conditions applicable to each Offering Period shall be set forth in an “Offering Document” adopted by the Administrator, which Offering Document shall be in such form and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall deem appropriate and shall be incorporated by reference into and made part of the Plan and shall be attached hereto as part of the Plan. The provisions of separate Offering Periods under the Plan need not be identical.

4.2

Offering Documents. Each Offering Document with respect to an Offering Period shall specify (through incorporation of the provisions of this Plan by reference or otherwise):

 

(a)

the length of the Offering Period, which period shall not exceed twenty-seven months;

 

(b)

the maximum number of Shares that may be purchased by any Eligible Employee during such Offering Period, which, in the absence of a contrary designation by the Administrator, shall be 3,000 Shares; and

 

(c)

such other provisions as the Administrator determines are appropriate, subject to the Plan.

ARTICLE V.

ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION

5.1

Eligibility. Any Eligible Employee who shall be employed by the Company or a Designated Subsidiary on a given Enrollment Date for an Offering Period shall be eligible to participate in the Plan during such Offering Period, subject to the requirements of this Article V and the limitations imposed by Section 423(b) of the Code.

5.2

Enrollment in Plan.

 

(a)

Except as otherwise set forth in an Offering Document or determined by the Administrator, an Eligible Employee may become a Participant in the Plan for an Offering Period by delivering a subscription agreement to the Company by such time prior to the Enrollment Date for such Offering Period (or such other date specified in the Offering Document) designated by the Administrator and in such form as the Company provides.

 

(b)

Each subscription agreement shall designate a whole percentage of such Eligible Employee’s Compensation to be withheld by the Company or the Designated Subsidiary employing such Eligible Employee on each payday during the Offering Period as payroll deductions under the Plan. The percentage of Compensation designated by an Eligible Employee may not be less than 1% and may not be more than the maximum percentage specified by the Administrator in the applicable Offering Document (which percentage shall be 25% in the absence of any such designation) as payroll deductions. The payroll deductions made for each Participant shall be credited to an account for such Participant under the Plan and shall be deposited with the general funds of the Company.

 

(c)

A Participant may increase or decrease the percentage of Compensation designated in his or her subscription agreement, subject to the limits of this Section 5.2, or may suspend his or her payroll deductions, at any time during an Offering Period; provided, however, that the Administrator may limit the number of changes a Participant may make to his or her payroll deduction elections during each Offering Period in the applicable Offering Document (and in the absence of any specific designation by the Administrator, a Participant shall be allowed one change to his or her payroll deduction elections during each Offering Period). Any such change or suspension of payroll deductions shall be effective with the first full payroll period following five business days after the Company’s receipt of the new subscription agreement (or such shorter or longer period as may be specified by the Administrator in the applicable Offering Document). In the event a Participant suspends his or her payroll deductions, such Participant’s cumulative payroll deductions prior to the suspension shall remain in his or her account and shall be applied to the purchase of Shares on the next occurring Purchase Date and shall not be paid to such Participant unless he or she withdraws from participation in the Plan pursuant to Article VII.

 

(d)

Except as otherwise set forth in an Offering Document or determined by the Administrator, a Participant may participate in the Plan only by means of payroll deduction and may not make contributions by lump sum payment for any Offering Period.

Annex B (continued)

 

5.3

Payroll Deductions. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Offering Document, payroll deductions for a Participant shall commence on the first payroll following the Enrollment Date and shall end on the last payroll in the Offering Period to which the Participant’s authorization is applicable, unless sooner terminated by the Participant as provided in Article VII or suspended by the Participant or the Administrator as provided in Section 5.2 and Section 5.6, respectively.

5.4

Effect of Enrollment. A Participant’s completion of a subscription agreement will enroll such Participant in the Plan for each subsequent Offering Period on the terms contained therein until the Participant either submits a new subscription agreement, withdraws from participation under the Plan as provided in Article VII or otherwise becomes ineligible to participate in the Plan.

5.5

Limitation on Purchase of Common Stock. An Eligible Employee may be granted rights under the Plan only if such rights, together with any other rights granted to such Eligible Employee under “employee stock purchase plans” of the Company, any Parent or any Subsidiary, as specified by Section 423(b)(8) of the Code, do not permit such employee’s rights to purchase stock of the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary to accrue at a rate that exceeds $25,000 of the fair market value of such stock (determined as of the first day of the Offering Period during which such rights are granted) for each calendar year in which such rights are outstanding at any time. This limitation shall be applied in accordance with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code.

5.6

Decrease or Suspension of Payroll Deductions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent necessary to comply with Section 423(b)(8) of the Code and Section 5.5 or the other limitations set forth in this Plan, a Participant’s payroll deductions may be suspended by the Administrator at any time during an Offering Period. The balance of the amount credited to the account of each Participant that has not been applied to the purchase of Shares by reason of Section 423(b)(8) of the Code, Section 5.5 or the other limitations set forth in this Plan shall be paid to such Participant in one lump sum in cash as soon as reasonably practicable after the Purchase Date.

5.7

Foreign Employees. In order to facilitate participation in the Plan, the Administrator may provide for such special terms applicable to Participants who are citizens or residents of a foreign jurisdiction, or who are employed by a Designated Subsidiary outside of the United States, as the Administrator may consider necessary or appropriate to accommodate differences in local law, tax policy or custom. Such special terms may not be more favorable than the terms of rights granted under the Plan to Eligible Employees who are residents of the United States. Moreover, the Administrator may approve such supplements to, or amendments, restatements or alternative versions of, this Plan as it may consider necessary or appropriate for such purposes without thereby affecting the terms of this Plan as in effect for any other purpose. No such special terms, supplements, amendments or restatements shall include any provisions that are inconsistent with the terms of this Plan as then in effect unless this Plan could have been amended to eliminate such inconsistency without further approval by the stockholders of the Company.

ARTICLE VI.

GRANT AND EXERCISE OF RIGHTS

6.1

Grant of Rights. On the Enrollment Date of each Offering Period, each Eligible Employee participating in such Offering Period shall be granted a right to purchase the maximum number of Shares specified under Section 4.2, subject to the limits in Section 5.5, and shall have the right to buy, on each Purchase Date during such Offering Period (at the applicable Purchase Price), such number of whole Shares as is determined by dividing (a) such Participant’s payroll deductions accumulated prior to such Purchase Date and retained in the Participant’s account as of the Purchase Date, by (b) the applicable Purchase Price (rounded down to the nearest Share). The right shall expire on the last day of the Offering Period.

6.2

Exercise of Rights. On each Purchase Date, each Participant’s accumulated payroll deductions and any other additional payments specifically provided for in the applicable Offering Document will be applied to the purchase of whole Shares, up to the maximum number of Shares permitted pursuant to the terms of the Plan and the applicable Offering Document, at the Purchase Price. No fractional Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of rights granted under the Plan, unless the Offering Document specifically provides otherwise. Any cash in lieu of fractional Shares remaining after the purchase of whole Shares upon exercise of a purchase right will be refunded to the Participant. Shares issued pursuant to the Plan may be evidenced in such manner as the Administrator may determine and may be issued in certificated form or issued pursuant to book-entry procedures.

6.3

Pro Rata Allocation of Shares. If the Administrator determines that, on a given Purchase Date, the number of Shares with respect to which rights are to be exercised may exceed (a) the number of Shares that were available for issuance under the Plan on the Enrollment Date of the applicable Offering Period, or (b) the number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan on such Purchase Date, the Administrator may in its sole discretion provide that the Company shall make a pro rata allocation of the Shares available for purchase on such Enrollment Date or Purchase Date, as applicable, in as uniform a manner as shall be practicable and as it shall determine in its sole discretion to be equitable among all Participants for whom rights to purchase Common Stock are to be exercised pursuant to this Article VI on such Purchase Date, and shall either (i) continue all Offering Periods then in effect, or (ii) terminate any or all Offering Periods then in effect pursuant to Article IX. The Company may make pro rata allocation of the Shares available on the Enrollment Date of any applicable Offering Period pursuant to the preceding sentence, notwithstanding any authorization of additional Shares for issuance under the Plan by the Company’s stockholders subsequent to such Enrollment Date. The balance of the amount credited to the account of each Participant that has not been applied to the purchase of Shares shall be paid to such Participant in one lump sum in cash as soon as reasonably practicable after the Purchase Date.

6.4

Withholding. At the time a Participant’s rights under the Plan are exercised, in whole or in part, or at the time some or all of the Common Stock issued under the Plan is disposed of, the Participant must make adequate provision for the Company’s federal, state, or other tax withholding obligations, if any, that arise upon the exercise of the right or the disposition of the Common Stock. At any time, the Company may, but shall not be obligated to, withhold from the Participant’s compensation the amount necessary for the Company to

2019 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

Annex B (continued)

 

meet applicable withholding obligations, including any withholding required to make available to the Company any tax deductions or benefits attributable to sale or early disposition of Common Stock by the Participant.

6.5

Conditions to Issuance of Common Stock. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for, or make any book entries evidencing, Shares purchased upon the exercise of rights under the Plan prior to fulfillment of all of the following conditions:

 

(a)

The admission of such Shares to listing on all stock exchanges, if any, on which the Common Stock is then listed;

 

(b)

The completion of any registration or other qualification of such Shares under any state or federal law or under the rulings or regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other governmental regulatory body, that the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, deem necessary or advisable;

 

(c)

The obtaining of any approval or other clearance from any state or federal governmental agency that the Administrator shall, in its absolute discretion, determine to be necessary or advisable;

 

(d)

The payment to the Company of all amounts that it is required to withhold under federal, state or local law upon exercise of the rights, if any; and

 

(e)

The lapse of such reasonable period of time following the exercise of the rights as the Administrator may from time to time establish for reasons of administrative convenience.

ARTICLE VII.

WITHDRAWAL; CESSATION OF ELIGIBILITY

7.1

Withdrawal. A Participant may withdraw all but not less than all of the payroll deductions credited to his or her account and not yet used to exercise his or her rights under the Plan at any time by giving written notice to the Company in a form acceptable to the Company no later than five (5) business days prior to the end of the Offering Period. All of the Participant’s payroll deductions credited to his or her account during an Offering Period shall be paid to such Participant as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of notice of withdrawal and such Participant’s rights for the Offering Period shall be automatically terminated, and no further payroll deductions for the purchase of Shares shall be made for such Offering Period. If a Participant withdraws from an Offering Period, payroll deductions shall not resume at the beginning of the next Offering Period unless the Participant timely delivers to the Company a new subscription agreement.

7.2

Future Participation. A Participant’s withdrawal from an Offering Period shall not have any effect upon his or her eligibility to participate in any similar plan that may hereafter be adopted by the Company or a Designated Subsidiary or in subsequent Offering Periods that commence after the termination of the Offering Period from which the Participant withdraws.

7.3

Cessation of Eligibility. Upon a Participant’s ceasing to be an Eligible Employee for any reason, he or she shall be deemed to have elected to withdraw from the Plan pursuant to this Article VII and the payroll deductions credited to such Participant’s account during the Offering Period shall be paid to such Participant or, in the case of his or her death, to the person or persons entitled thereto under Section 12.4, as soon as reasonably practicable, and such Participant’s rights for the Offering Period shall be automatically terminated.

ARTICLE VIII.

ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN STOCK

8.1

Changes in Capitalization. Subject to Section 8.3, in the event that the Administrator determines that any dividend or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, Common Stock, other securities, or other property), Change in Control, reorganization, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, combination, repurchase, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, or sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or sale or exchange of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, issuance of warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or other similar corporate transaction or event, as determined by the Administrator, affects the Common Stock such that an adjustment is determined by the Administrator to be appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended by the Company to be made available under the Plan or with respect to any outstanding purchase rights under the Plan, the Administrator shall make equitable adjustments, if any, to reflect such change with respect to (a) the aggregate number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) that may be issued under the Plan (including, but not limited to, adjustments of the limitations in Section 3.1 and the limitations established in each Offering Document pursuant to Section 4.2 on the maximum number of Shares that may be purchased); (b) the class(es) and number of Shares and price per Share subject to outstanding rights; and (c) the Purchase Price with respect to any outstanding rights.

(a)

To provide for either (i) termination of any outstanding right in exchange for an amount of cash, if any, equal to the amount that would have been obtained upon the exercise of such right had such right been currently exercisable or (ii) the replacement of such outstanding right with other rights or property selected by the Administrator in its sole discretion;

 

(b)

To provide that the outstanding rights under the Plan shall be assumed by the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, or shall be substituted for by similar rights covering the stock of the successor or survivor corporation, or a parent or subsidiary thereof, with appropriate adjustments as to the number and kind of shares and prices;

 

(c)

To make adjustments in the number and type of Shares (or other securities or property) subject to outstanding rights under the Plan and/or in the terms and conditions of outstanding rights and rights that may be granted in the future;

(e)

To provide that all outstanding rights shall terminate without being exercised.

8.3

No Adjustment Under Certain Circumstances. No adjustment or action described in this Article VIII or in any other provision of the Plan shall be authorized to the extent that such adjustment or action would cause the Plan to fail to satisfy the requirements of Section 423 of the Code.

8.4

Except as expressly provided in the Plan, no Participant shall have any rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of shares of stock of any class, the payment of any dividend, any increase or decrease in the number of shares of stock of any class or any dissolution, liquidation, merger, or consolidation of the Company or any other corporation. Except as expressly provided in the Plan or pursuant to action of the Administrator under the Plan, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of Shares subject to outstanding rights under the Plan or the Purchase Price with respect to any outstanding rights.

ARTICLE IX.

Actions In the Event of Unfavorable Financial Accounting Consequences.

Designation of Beneficiary.

 

(a)

A Participant may, in the manner determined by the Administrator, file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any Shares and/or cash, if any, from the Participant’s account under the Plan in the event of such Participant’s death subsequent to a Purchase Date on which the Participant’s rights are exercised but prior to delivery to such Participant of such Shares and cash. In addition, a Participant may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive any cash from the Participant’s account under the Plan in the event of such Participant’s death prior to exercise of the Participant’s rights under the Plan. If the Participant is married and resides in a community property state, a designation of a person other than the Participant’s spouse as his or her beneficiary shall not be effective without the prior written consent of the Participant’s spouse.

12.6

Equal Rights and Privileges. Subject to Section 5.7, all Eligible Employees will have equal rights and privileges under this Plan so that this Plan qualifies as an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 of the Code.

12.10

ESPP Brokerage Account; Notice of Disposition of Shares.

 

(a)

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, the Company may require that the Shares purchased upon exercise of a right under the Plan be deposited directly into a brokerage account established for the Participant at a Company-designated brokerage firm (such account, the “ESPP Brokerage Account”). Subject to any restrictions under Applicable Law or Company policy, a Participant may sell Shares held in the Participant’s ESPP Brokerage Account at any time, but in the absence of any such sale, the Participant shall be required to hold such Shares in the ESPP Brokerage Account until expiration of the holding periods specified by Section 423(a)(1) of the Code applicable to such Shares.

Such notice shall specify the date of such disposition or other transfer and the amount realized, in cash, other property, assumption of indebtedness or other consideration, by the Participant in such disposition or other transfer.

the rights and the Shares purchased under the Plan are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation;

(v)

the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty;

3.

Termination of Employment. The following provision replaces Section 7.3 of the Plan:

In the event of termination of an Eligible Employee’s employment, the Eligible Employee’s right to purchase Shares under the Plan, if any, will terminate, and he or she shall be deemed to have elected to withdraw from the Plan, effective as of the date that is the earlier of (i) the date on which the Eligible Employee receives a notice of termination of employment from the Company or the Employer, or (ii) the date on which the Eligible Employee is no longer employed, regardless of any notice period or period of pay in lieu of such notice required under local law. The Administrator shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Eligible Employee is no longer employed for purposes of the Plan. The payroll deductions credited to such Eligible Employee’s account during the Offering Period shall be paid to such Eligible Employee or, in the case of his or her death, to the person or persons entitled thereto under Section 12.4 of the Plan, as soon as reasonably practicable and such Eligible Employee’s rights for the Offering Period shall be automatically terminated on the effective date described in the previous sentence.

4.

Data Protection. In addition to the global provisions of the Sub-Plan, each Eligible Employee hereby authorizes the Company and the Company’s representatives to discuss with and obtain all relevant information from all personnel, professional or not, involved in the administration and operation of the Plan. Each Eligible Employee further authorizes the Company Group and the Administrator to disclose and discuss the Plan with their advisors.  Each Eligible Employee further authorizes the Company Group and the Administrator to record such information and to keep such information in the Eligible Employee’s employee file.

Notifications.

 

(a)

Foreign Asset/Account Reporting Information. If a Participant is a Canadian resident, such Participant may be required to report his or her foreign property on form T1135 (Foreign Income Verification Statement) if the total cost of the foreign property exceeds a certain threshold at any time in the year. Foreign property includes Shares acquired under the Plan. The Shares must be reported, generally at a nil cost, if the cost threshold is exceeded because of other foreign property the Participant holds. If Shares are acquired, their cost generally is the adjusted cost base (“ACB”) of the Shares. The ACB ordinarily would equal the fair market value of the Shares at the time of acquisition, but if a Participant owns other Shares, this ACB may have to be leveraged with the ACB of the other Shares. The form T1135 generally must be filed by April 30 of the following year. A Participant should consult with his or her personal advisor to ensure compliance with the applicable reporting requirements.

6.

Tax Consequences. The following provision supplements Section 6.4 of the Plan:

2019 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

Annex B (continued)

 

Regardless of any action the Company or the Employer takes with respect to any or all income tax (including foreign, federal, state and local tax), social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to a Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to a Participant (“Withholding Taxes”), the ultimate liability for all Withholding Taxes legally due by a Participant is and remains such Participant’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company and/or the Employer. Neither the Company and/or the Employer (i) make any representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Withholding Taxes in connection with any aspect of rights under the Plan, including but not limited to, the grant, vesting, exercise of the right, the issuance of Shares upon exercise, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of the right and the receipt of any dividends, and (ii) do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms of the grant or any aspect of the rights under the Plan to reduce or eliminate a Participant’s liability for Withholding Taxes or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if a Participant has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Withholding Taxes in more than one jurisdiction. Prior to any relevant taxable or tax withholding event (“Tax Date”), as applicable, a Participant will pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to satisfy all Withholding Taxes. In this regard, the Company and/or the Employer or their respective agents are authorized, at their discretion, to satisfy the obligations with regard to all Withholding Taxes by one or a combination of the following: (A) accept a cash payment in USD in the amount of Withholding Taxes, (B) withhold whole Shares which would otherwise be delivered to a Participant having an aggregate fair market value, determined as of the Tax Date, or withhold an amount of cash from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation which would otherwise be payable to the Participant by the Company and/or the Employer, equal to the amount necessary to satisfy any such obligations, (C) withhold from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon exercise of the right either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization), or (D) a cash payment to the Company by a broker-dealer acceptable to the Company to whom a Participant has submitted an irrevocable notice of exercise. To avoid negative accounting treatment, the Company may withhold or account for Withholding Taxes by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates. If the obligation for Withholding Taxes is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, a Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the right, notwithstanding that a number of Shares are held back solely for the purpose of paying the Withholding Taxes. Finally, a Participant shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Withholding Taxes that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company shall have sole discretion to deliver the Shares if a Participant fails to comply with such Participant’s obligations in connection with the Withholding Taxes as described in this section and each Participant unconditionally consents to and approves any such action taken by the Company. A Participant (or any beneficiary or person entitled to act on a Participant’s behalf) shall provide the Company with any forms, documents or other information reasonably required by the Company.

The Company and/or its Parent or any Subsidiary shall withhold taxes according to the requirements under the Applicable Laws, rules, and regulations, including withholding taxes at source. Furthermore, the Participant shall indemnify the Company and/or its Parent or any Subsidiary and hold them harmless against and from any and all liability for any such tax or other payment or interest or penalty thereon, including without limitation, liabilities relating to the necessity to withhold, or to have withheld, any such tax from any payment made to the Participant.

The Company shall be entitled to require payment in cash or deduction from other compensation payable to each Participant of any taxes or other sums required by all Applicable Laws to be paid or withheld with respect to the issuance, exercise or sale of any Share issued upon the exercise of rights granted under the Plan. The Administrator may in its discretion and in satisfaction of the foregoing requirement allow such Participant to satisfy such tax or other obligations by the delivery to the Company or the appropriate authorities of cash in an amount equal to the sums required to be paid or withheld, may also allow such Participant to elect to have the Company withhold Shares otherwise issuable to the Participant or may allow the return of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the sums required to be paid or withheld.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan and this Sub-Plan, the number of Shares which may be withheld with respect to the issuance, exercise or sale of any Shares issued upon the exercise of a right granted under the Plan in order to satisfy the Participant’s tax or other liabilities with respect to the issuance, exercise or sale of any Shares issued upon the exercise of a right granted under the Plan, shall be limited to the number of shares which have a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding equal to the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the statutory tax rates that are applicable to such taxable income.  

 

(c)

The Company shall not be required to release any Shares to a Participant until all required payments have been fully made.

 

(d)

With respect to a Non-Trustee 102 Award, if the Participant ceases to be employed by the Company or any Parent or Subsidiary thereof, the Participant shall extend to the Company and/or any Parent or Subsidiary, a security or guarantee for the payment of tax due at the time of sale of Shares, all in accordance with the provisions of Section 102 of the Ordinance.

This section sets forth additional terms and conditions applicable to the rights granted to, and the Shares purchased by, Eligible Employees who are (or are deemed to be) residents of the United Kingdom for the purpose of payment of taxes and forms an integral part of the Plan and Sub-Plan.

2.

Tax Consequences.

 

(a)

The Eligible Employee agrees to indemnify and keep indemnified the Company Group from and against any liability for or obligation to pay any tax liability that is attributable to: (i) the grant or exercise of a right under the Plan; (ii) the acquisition by the Eligible Employee of Shares on exercise of the right; or (iii) the disposal of any Shares (each, a “Tax Liability”).

 

(b)

At the discretion of the Administrator, rights granted under the Plan cannot be exercised until the Eligible Employee has entered into an election with the Company or the Employer as appropriate (in a form approved by the Employer and HMRC) (a “joint election”) under which any liability of the Company Group for Employer’s National Insurance Contributions arising in respect of the grant, exercise of or other dealing in the rights granted under the Plan, or the acquisition of Shares on exercise of the right, is transferred to and met by the Eligible Employee.

 

(c)

Without prejudice to the terms of the Plan, rights cannot be exercised until the Eligible Employee has made such arrangements as the Company Group may require for the satisfaction of any Tax Liability that may arise in connection with the exercise of the right and/or the acquisition of the Shares by the Eligible Employee. Where any Tax Liability is likely to arise, the Company Group may recover from the Eligible Employee an amount of money sufficient to meet the Tax Liability by any of the following arrangements:

 

(i)

deduction from salary or other payments due to the Eligible Employee;

 

(ii)

withholding the issue, allotment or transfer to the Eligible Employee of that number of Shares (otherwise to be acquired by the Eligible Employee on the exercise of the right) whose aggregate market value on date of exercise is, so far as possible, equal to, but not less than, the amount of Tax Liability (together with the fees and expenses incurred in the sale of the Shares, where the Company intends to sell the Shares to meet the Tax Liability);

 

(iii)

withholding the issue, allotment or transfer to the Eligible Employee of the Shares otherwise to be acquired by the Eligible Employee pursuant to the right until the Eligible Employee has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Company Group that he has given irrevocable instructions to a third party (for example, a broker) satisfactory to the Company Group to sell a sufficient number of those Shares to ensure the net proceeds are so far as possible, equal to but not less than, the amount of the Tax Liability; or

 

(iv)

where the Tax Liability arises as a result of a release or assignment by the Eligible Employee of the right, a deduction from the payment made to him as consideration for such release or assignment.

 

(d)

Section 2(c) of this Sub-Plan will not apply where the Eligible Employee has, before the allotment, issuance or transfer of the Shares to be issued or transferred to the Eligible Employee as a result of the exercise of the right, paid to the Company Group, in cleared funds a sum equal to the Tax Liability arising on the exercise of the right.
