(e) As described under Item 5.07 of this report, on June 27, 2023, the stockholders of SecureWorks Corp. (the “Company”) voted at the Company’s 2023 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2023 annual meeting”) to approve an amendment (the “plan amendment”) to the SecureWorks Corp. 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “plan”), to increase the number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock issuable under the plan by 7,500,000 shares.
The Company’s Board of Directors approved the plan amendment, subject to stockholder approval at the 2023 annual meeting, on May 10, 2023. The plan amendment became effective at the time of stockholder approval.
The plan provides for the grant of incentive and nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock units, unrestricted stock, dividend equivalent rights, other equity-based awards and cash bonus awards to employees, officers and non-employee directors of the Company or any of its affiliates and other eligible service providers. Any of these awards may, but need not, be made as performance incentives to reward attainment of annual or long-term performance goals.
A copy of the plan, as amended and restated as of June 27, 2023, is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and is incorporated by reference in this Item 5.02.
