PROXY STATEMENT

 

 

In this Proxy Statement, “Anaplan, Inc.,” “Anaplan,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Anaplan, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise. This Proxy Statement and the enclosed proxy card, or the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, are first being mailed to stockholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date on or about April 21, 2020.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Following are questions and answers concerning voting and solicitation and other general information.

 

Why did I receive this Proxy Statement?   We sent you this Proxy Statement or a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (“Notice”) on or around April 21, 2020, because our Board is soliciting your proxy to vote at the Company’s 2020 Annual Meeting and you were a stockholder of record at the close of business on the Record Date. This Proxy Statement summarizes the information you need to know to vote on an informed basis.
What do I need to do to virtually attend the 2020 Annual Meeting?   All stockholders as of the close of business on the Record Date are invited to virtually attend the 2020 Annual Meeting. Admission will begin at 7:30 a.m. Pacific Time. You will be able to virtually attend our 2020 Annual Meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/PLAN2020 using the control number found on your proxy card or voting instruction form. You may vote during the Annual Meeting by following the instructions available on the meeting website during the meeting. Stockholders of record may vote in advance by proxy. If your shares are held beneficially in the name of a bank, broker-dealer, brokerage firm, trust, other similar organization, other holder of record or nominee (i.e., in street name), you may vote in advance by proxy or if you wish to be present virtually at the 2020 Annual Meeting, you must obtain a legal proxy from your bank, broker-dealer, brokerage firm, trust, other similar organization or other holder of record or nominee. The meeting will begin promptly at 8:00 a.m. Pacific Time.
Who may vote?   You are entitled to vote if you are a stockholder of record of the Company’s common stock at the close of business on the Record Date. At that time, there were 136,964,217 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. Each share of common stock that you own entitles you to one vote on all matters to be voted on at the 2020 Annual Meeting.

  2020 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

 

  If you have received a Notice, it contains a control number that will allow you to access the Proxy Materials online. If you have received a paper copy of our Proxy Materials, a printed proxy card has been enclosed. If you have not received a paper copy of our Proxy Materials and wish to vote by mail, please follow the instructions included in the Notice to obtain a paper proxy card. A full printed set of our Proxy Materials will be mailed to you automatically only if you have previously made a permanent election to receive our Proxy Materials in printed form.
  The Notice is not a proxy card and it cannot be used to vote your shares. Stockholders of record may also vote their shares directly by virtually attending the 2020 Annual Meeting and casting their vote.
  Beneficial owners must vote their shares in the manner prescribed by their bank, broker-dealer, brokerage firm, trust or other similar organization or nominee. If you do not receive the voting instructions, please contact your bank, brokerage firm, trust or other similar organization or nominee directly. Beneficial owners who wish to vote virtually at the 2020 Annual Meeting must obtain a legal proxy from their bank, broker-dealer, brokerage firm, trust or other similar organization or nominee. Beneficial owners wishing to vote virtually at the 2020 Annual Meeting will need to provide the legal proxy to the inspector of elections via email at the 2020 Annual Meeting along with a signed ballot. Beneficial owners will not be able to vote their shares at the 2020 Annual Meeting without a legal proxy and a signed ballot.
  In order to be timely processed, your vote must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on June 2, 2020 (or, if you are a beneficial owner, such earlier time as your bank, brokerage firm or nominee may require).

What matters am I

voting on?

 

Proposal One: We are asking you to elect each of the Director Nominees described below:

SUSAN L. BOSTROM

SANDESH PATNAM

 

Proposal Two: We are asking you to ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2021.

  2020 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

 

How does the Board recommend that I vote?   The Board recommends that you vote your shares “FOR” the two Director Nominees as listed in Proposal One, “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2021, as described in Proposal Two, and “ONE YEAR” as the preferred frequency of holding future advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers on Proposal Three.
May I change or revoke
my proxy?
 

If you are a registered holder of the Company’s common stock, you may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted at the 2020 Annual Meeting by:

•   notifying the Corporate Secretary in writing: c/o Anaplan, Inc. at 50 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, California 94105, USA, Attention: Corporate Secretary;

•   submitting another properly signed proxy card with a later date or another Internet or telephone proxy at a later date but prior to the close of voting described above; or

•   by voting virtually at the 2020 Annual Meeting.

  Merely virtually attending the 2020 Annual Meeting does not revoke your proxy. To revoke a proxy, you must take one of the actions described above.
  If you are not a registered holder but your shares are registered in the name of a nominee, you must contact the nominee to revoke your proxy. Merely virtually attending or attempting to vote at the 2020 Annual Meeting will not revoke your proxy if your shares are held in the name of a nominee.
How will my proxy get voted?   If your proxy card is properly submitted, you are legally designating the person or persons named in the proxy card to vote your shares as you have directed. Unless you name a different person or persons to act as your proxy, Frank Calderoni and David H. Morton, Jr. (the “Company Designees”) shall act as your proxies. If you sign and return your proxy card without indicating how your shares are to be voted and name anyone other than a Company Designee as your proxy, that person may vote your shares at their discretion. If you name a Company Designee as your proxy without indicating how your shares are to be voted, the Company Designee shall vote your shares as the Board recommends on each proposal in this Proxy Statement and at their discretion regarding any other matter properly presented for a vote at the 2020 Annual Meeting. The Board currently does not know of any matters to be raised at the 2020 Annual Meeting other than the proposals contained in this Proxy Statement.

  2020 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

 

 

 

If you are a beneficial owner, the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) permit your bank, broker-dealer, brokerage firm, trust or other similar organization or nominee to vote your shares at their discretion on “routine” matters if it does not receive instructions from you.

 

 

The following proposal is a routine matter:

•  Proposal Two (Ratification of the Appointment of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm)

 

However, “broker non-votes” occur when your bank, broker-dealer brokerage firm, trust or other similar organization or nominee does not receive instructions from you and, therefore, may not vote your shares on “non-routine” matters. Broker non-votes will be counted for the purposes of a quorum, but will not be counted as votes for or against the non-routine matters. Rather, broker non-votes will be regarded as votes withheld and will not be counted in the calculation of votes for or against the resolution.

 

The following proposals are non-routine matters:

•  Proposal One (Election of each of the two Director Nominees as Class II directors)

•  Proposal Three (Non-binding Advisory Vote on the Frequency of Future Non-binding Advisory Votes on our Named Executive Officers’ Compensation)

What constitutes a quorum?   The presence (virtually or by proxy) of stockholders entitled to exercise a majority of the voting power of the Company on the Record Date is necessary to constitute a quorum to conduct business for the Company’s 2020 Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes are treated as “shares present” for the purposes of determining whether a quorum exists.
What vote is required to approve each of the proposals?  

Plurality of Votes Cast Required to Approve:

•  Proposal One (Election of each of the two Director Nominees as Class II directors)

Majority of Votes Cast Required to Approve:

•  Proposal Two (Ratification of the Appointment of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm)

•  Proposal Three (Non-binding Advisory Vote on the Frequency of Future Non-binding Advisory Votes on our Named Executive Officers’ Compensation)

Table of Contents

 

  2020 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

 

 

Proposal One—Class II directors will be elected by a plurality vote of the shares of common stock voted at the meeting. “Plurality” means that the two director nominees who receive the largest number of “FOR” votes will be elected as Class II directors. You may either vote “FOR” all of the nominees or “WITHHOLD” your vote with respect to any or all of the nominees. Because the outcome of this proposal will be determined by a plurality vote, shares voted “WITHHOLD” will not prevent a director nominee from being elected as a director.

 

Proposal Two—Ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm requires the affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast at the meeting. You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN.” The appointment of KPMG will be ratified if the number of votes cast “FOR” the proposal exceeds the number of votes “AGAINST” the proposal.

 

Proposal Three—To vote, on a non-binding advisory basis, on the frequency of future non-binding advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers. You may vote “ONE YEAR,” “TWO YEARS,” “THREE YEARS” or “ABSTAIN” on this proposal. The frequency receiving the majority of votes cast will be the frequency of future advisory non-binding votes on the compensation of our named executive officers recommended by our stockholders. Our Board will review the voting results and take them into consideration in determining the frequency of future non-binding advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers.

 

In determining the outcome of a stockholder vote on these proposals, we may only consider affirmative votes and negative votes cast on the proposals – abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered a vote cast for or against a proposal. Thus, although abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as “shares present” at the 2020 Annual Meeting for the purpose of determining whether a quorum exists, they are not counted as votes cast either “FOR” or “AGAINST” any proposal and, accordingly, do not affect the outcome of the vote for any of these proposals.

I share an address with another stockholder, and we received only one paper copy of the proxy materials. How may I obtain an additional copy of the proxy materials?   See Section titled “Householding” below which includes information for obtaining additional copies of the proxy materials.

Who pays the expenses of

this Proxy Statement?

  Our Board is soliciting proxies for use at the 2020 Annual Meeting. All expenses associated with this solicitation will be borne by us. We will reimburse brokers or other nominees for reasonable expenses that they incur in sending our proxy materials to you if a broker, bank or other nominee holds shares of our common stock on your behalf. In addition, our directors, the Company Designees and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other means of communication. Our directors, Company Designees and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies, but may be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with such solicitation. We may engage the services of a professional proxy solicitation firm to aid in the solicitation of proxies from certain brokers, bank nominees and other institutional owners. Our costs for such services, if retained, will not be significant.
How will voting be counted on any other matters that may be presented at the 2020 Annual Meeting?   Although we do not know of any matters to be presented or acted upon at the 2020 Annual Meeting other than the items described in this Proxy Statement, if any other matter is proposed and properly and validly presented at the 2020 Annual Meeting, Company Designees will vote on such matters in accordance with their best judgment.
Voting procedures and tabulation.   The Board appointed an inspector of elections to act at the 2020 Annual Meeting and to make a written report thereof. Prior to the 2020 Annual Meeting, the inspector will sign an oath to perform his or her duties in an impartial manner and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspector will ascertain the number of shares of common stock outstanding, determine the shares of common stock represented at the 2020 Annual Meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots, count all votes and ballots, and perform certain other duties. The determination of the inspector as to the validity of proxies will be final and binding.
Where can I find the voting results of the 2020 Annual Meeting?   We intend to announce preliminary voting results at the 2020 Annual Meeting and will publish final results in a current report on Form 8-K within four business days after the 2020 Annual Meeting.

Bostrom and Mr. Sandesh Patnam for election as Class II directors to hold office until the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified, subject to their earlier resignation or removal. Each of the nominees is a current director and member of our Board and has consented to serve if elected.

Unless you direct otherwise through your proxy voting instructions, the Company Designees will vote all proxies received “FOR” the election of each nominee. If any nominee is unable or unwilling to serve at the time of the 2020 Annual Meeting, the persons named as proxies may vote for a substitute nominee chosen by our present Board. In the alternative, the proxies may vote only for the remaining nominee(s), leaving a vacancy on our Board. Our Board may fill such vacancy at a later date or reduce the size of our Board. We have no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unwilling or unable to serve if elected as a director.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE GUIDELINES

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines, together with the Board committee charters, provide the framework for the corporate governance of the Company. Following is a summary of our Corporate Governance Guidelines. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines, as well as the charters of each of our Board committees, are available on our website at www.anaplan.com, under “About - Investor Center - Governance.”

Role of the Board

The Board directs and oversees the management of the business and affairs of the Company. In this oversight role, the Board serves as the ultimate decision-making body of the Company, except for those matters reserved to the stockholders.

The Board and its committees have the primary responsibilities of:

 

   

Setting the Company’s strategic direction and reviewing, monitoring and approving the annual operating plan and major corporate actions;

 

   

Advising and counseling the Company’s management;

 

   

Evaluating the performance of our CEO;

 

   

Reviewing and approving CEO and senior management succession planning;

 

   

Monitoring and evaluating the performance of the Company;

 

   

Overseeing the Company’s ethics programs and legal compliance, including the Company’s Code of Conduct and Ethics; and

 

   

Overseeing the Company’s enterprise risk management processes and programs.

Board Leadership Structure

Pursuant to our Corporate Governance Guidelines, our Board may separate or combine the roles of the chairman of the board of directors and chief executive officer when and if it deems it advisable and in our best interests and in the best interests of our stockholders to do so. In November 2018, the Board combined the roles of the chief executive officer (“CEO”) and chairman (“Chairman”) of the Board and appointed Mr. Calderoni as the Chairman. The Board believes that having Mr. Calderoni serve in the combined role of Chairman and CEO is the most effective structure for the Company at this time. Accordingly, it is the Board’s perspective that a combined Chairman and CEO position enhances the Board’s effectiveness at this stage in the Company’s growth.

In November 2018, the Board also appointed Mr. Robert E. Beauchamp as the lead independent director of the Board for effective corporate governance and to provide independent leadership and an organizational structure for the independent directors. The lead independent director (“Lead Independent Director”) coordinates the activities of the other non-employee directors, presides over executive sessions of the independent directors, facilitates the CEO evaluation process at the request of the Compensation Committee of the Board, serves as liaison between, and facilitates communication with, the Chairman of the Board and the independent directors, approves meeting schedules and agendas for the Board and has authority to call meetings of the independent directors.

  2020 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

 

The Board believes that the Company’s current leadership structure along with its corporate governance principles, the quality, stature and substantive business knowledge of the members of the Board, as well as the Board’s culture of open communication with the CEO and senior management are conducive to Board effectiveness.

Board Risk Oversight

The Board has oversight responsibility of the processes established to report and monitor systems for material risks applicable to the Company. The Board and its committees focus on the Company’s general risk management strategy and the most significant risks facing the Company and ensure that appropriate risk mitigation strategies are implemented by management. The full Board is responsible for considering strategic risks and succession planning, and the committees oversee other categories of risk. For example, our Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks associated with our financial reporting, accounting, and auditing matters; our Compensation Committee oversees the management of risks associated with our compensation policies and programs; and our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees the management of risks associated with director independence, conflicts of interest, composition and organization of our Board, and director succession planning.

Board Composition

Other than our CEO, our Board consists of independent, non-employee directors. In addition, our Corporate Governance Guidelines require that all members of the standing committees of the Board must be independent directors. The Board has the following three standing committees: Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Board has determined that each member of each of these committees is “independent” as defined in the NYSE listing standards and that each member of the Compensation Committee and Audit Committee meet applicable NYSE and SEC independence standards for such committees. Committee memberships and chairs are expected to be rotated periodically and an independence analysis is conducted annually.

  2020 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

 

Board Diversity

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers the skills, expertise and background of director nominees. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee seeks director nominees that would complement and enhance the effectiveness of the existing Board and ensure that its members are appropriately diverse and consists of members with various and relevant backgrounds, skills, knowledge, perspectives and experiences.

Board Advisors

The Board and its committees may, under their respective charters, retain their own external and independent advisors to carry out their responsibilities. For fiscal 2020, the Compensation Committee retained Compensia, Inc. as its external and independent advisor.

Executive Sessions

The Company’s independent directors meet privately in regularly scheduled executive sessions of the Board and committees, without management present, to consider such matters as the independent directors deem appropriate. These executive sessions are typically held at each Board and committee meeting.

Board Evaluation

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assists the Board in evaluating its performance and the performance of the Board committees annually. Each committee and the Board conduct an annual self-evaluation. The effectiveness of individual directors is considered each year when the Board nominates directors to stand for election.

Director Orientation and Education

The Company has developed an orientation program for new directors and provides continuing education to directors. In addition, the directors are given full access to management and other employees as a means of providing additional information.

Director Nomination Process

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews the composition of the full Board to identify the qualifications and areas of expertise needed to further enhance the composition of the Board, makes recommendations to the Board concerning the appropriate size and needs of the Board and, on its own, with the assistance of other Board members or management, a search firm or others, identifies candidates with those qualifications. The Board reviews and considers the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s recommendations and determines the Director Nominations.

In considering candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee takes into account all factors it considers appropriate, including professional experience, understanding of business and financial issues, ability to exercise sound judgment, diversity, independence, leadership, achievements, skills, education, length of service, knowledge and experience in matters affecting business and industry, and other qualities that contribute to the breadth of viewpoints and experience represented on the Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers the entirety of each candidate’s credentials and believes that at a minimum, each nominee should satisfy the following criteria: highest character and integrity, experience and

 

16  |  P a g e

  ANAPLAN, INC.      |      2020 Proxy Statement


Table of Contents

 

  2020 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

 

understanding of strategy, sufficient time to devote to Board matters, and no conflict of interest that would interfere with performance as a director. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee seeks to ensure that the Board is composed of members whose particular expertise, qualifications, attributes and skills, when taken together, allow the Board to satisfy its oversight responsibilities effectively. Stockholders may recommend candidates for consideration for Board membership by sending the recommendation to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, care of the Corporate Secretary. Candidates recommended by stockholders are evaluated in the same manner as director candidates identified by any other means.

Term Limits and Retirement

The Board does not have a mandatory retirement age for directors and, because the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee annually evaluates director nominees for the following year, the Board has decided not to adopt term limits for its directors.

Director Independence

The Board, based on its review and the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, has determined that all of our current directors and Director Nominees, except Frank Calderoni, who is an employee of the Company, are independent under the NYSE listing standards and the Corporate Governance Guidelines, which are consistent with the NYSE listing standards. When assessing director independence, the Board considers the various commercial, charitable and employment transactions and relationships known to the Board (including those identified through annual directors’ questionnaires) that exist between the Company and the entities with which our directors or members of their immediate families are, or have been, affiliated. The Board evaluated certain transactions that arose in the ordinary course of business between the Company and such entities and which occurred on the same terms and conditions available to other customers and suppliers. After reviewing these transactions and such other information as the Board deemed advisable, the Board determined that Mr. Beauchamp, Ms. Bostrom, Mr. Conte, Mr. Leinwand, Mr. Patnam, Mr. Vasudevan, Mr. Ward, and Ms. Wassenaar are independent under both the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines and the applicable NYSE rules.

Communications with Directors

Stockholders and other interested parties wishing to communicate with the Board, the non-employee directors or any individual director (including our Lead Independent Director and any Committee Chair) may do so by sending a communication to the Board and/or a particular member of the Board, care of the Corporate Secretary at Anaplan, Inc., Attn: Corporate Secretary, 50 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, California 94105. Depending upon the nature of the communication and to whom it is directed, the Corporate Secretary will: (a) forward the communication to the appropriate director or directors; (b) forward the communication to the relevant department within the Company; or (c) attempt to handle the matter directly (for example, a communication dealing with a stock ownership matter).

During fiscal 2020, we also appointed Mr. Suresh Vasudevan and Ms. Yvonne Wassenaar. We also added Mr. Allan Leinwand to our Board on February 26, 2020.

Code of Conduct and Ethics

The Company has adopted a Code of Conduct and Ethics applicable to its employees, executive officers, directors and consultants. The Code of Conduct and Ethics is available at www.anaplan.com, under “About - Investor Center - Governance.” Amendments to, or waivers of the Code of Conduct and Ethics will be disclosed promptly on our website or on a current report on Form 8-K. No such waivers were requested or granted in fiscal 2020.

Insider Trading Compliance Policy and Other Restrictions

The Company has adopted an Insider Trading Compliance Policy that applies to all our directors, officers, employees, consultants and independent contractors and is designed to prevent even the appearance of improper insider trading. Specifically, our Insider Trading Compliance Policy prohibits (i) purchasing any financial instruments designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of Company securities; (ii) holding Company securities in a margin account and (iii) engaging in any form of short-term speculative trading in Company securities. Directors and executive officers are also prohibited from pledging Company securities as collateral for a loan unless the compliance officer provides pre-clearance after the director or executive officer clearly demonstrates the financial capability to repay the loan without resort to the pledged securities. No approvals for pledging Company securities as collateral for a loan were requested or granted in fiscal 2020 and the Company strongly discourages such arrangements and no such arrangement exists.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During fiscal 2020 at various times, the following directors served on our Compensation Committee: Susan L. Bostrom, Robert E. Beauchamp and Suresh Vasudevan. None of the members of our Compensation Committee was an employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries at any time during fiscal 2020, has ever been an officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or had a relationship with the Company during that period requiring disclosure pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Pursuant to the policy, if any Related Person has a direct or indirect material interest in a transaction or potential transaction in which the Company has been or will be a participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000, he or she must promptly report it to the Company. The Audit Committee then reviews any such transactions and determines whether or not to approve or ratify them. In doing so, the Audit Committee considers the following:

   

the extent of the Related Person’s interest;

   

whether the transaction would interfere with the Related Person’s judgment in fulfilling his or her duties to the Company;

   

whether the transaction is fair to the Company and on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under similar circumstances;

   

whether the transaction is in the interest of the Company and its stockholders; and whether the transaction would present an improper conflict of interest; and

   

other factors it deems to be appropriate.

In addition, if the transaction involves a director, the Audit Committee will consider whether such transaction would impact such director’s independence under NYSE rules or qualifications to serve on committees under the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines and applicable NYSE and SEC rules.

We enter into ordinary course commercial dealings with certain companies that we consider arms-length on terms that are consistent with similar transactions with other similarly situated customers and vendors. Since the beginning of our last fiscal year, there were no material commercial transactions with related persons other than as described below. The Board and/or Audit Committee have determined that none of our directors had or currently has any direct or indirect material interest in any of the transactions described below:

 

   

David Conte, one of our directors, was an executive officer during a portion of fiscal 2020 of Splunk, Inc., which is a customer and a supplier of ours. In fiscal 2020, we recognized approximately $1,384,546 in revenue and approximately $369,307 in operating expenses in commercial transactions with Splunk, Inc.

   

Allan Leinwand, one of our directors, is Senior Vice President, Engineering at Slack Technologies, Inc., which is a customer and a supplier of ours. In fiscal 2020, we recognized approximately $222,145 in revenue and approximately $181,696 in operating expenses in commercial transactions with Slack Technologies, Inc.

  2020 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

 

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

Our director compensation program is designed to compensate our non-employee directors fairly for the level of contribution expected for a company of our size and scope and align their interests with the long-term interests of our stockholders. The program reflects our desire to attract, retain and use the expertise of highly qualified individuals serving on our Board. Employee-directors do not receive any additional compensation for serving as a director.

The Compensation Committee recommends and administers the policies that govern the level and form of director compensation, with assistance from the Compensation Committee’s independent compensation consultant, Compensia, Inc. The Board reviews and approves the policies recommended by the Compensation Committee. It is the Board’s practice to maintain a fair compensation program at the Board level, which is designed to be competitive with compensation programs of comparable companies. In addition, the Compensation Committee believes that a substantial portion of the total director compensation should be in the form of equity in the Company in order to better align the interests of the Company’s directors with the long-term interests of its stockholders.

During fiscal 2020, Compensia, Inc., conducted a review of director compensation levels relative to our peer group. Following review of how our then-current director compensation program was positioned relative to our peer group, the Compensation Committee recommended, and the full Board approved, a $5,000 increase to the annual cash retainer, a $15,000 increase to the annual equity retainer, and a change in the equity retainer mix from 50% RSUs and 50% stock options to 75% RSUs and 25% stock options. We used the same peer group for evaluation of our director compensation program as was used to review our executive compensation, see the “Compensation Peer Group” section in our Compensation Discussion and Analysis. These changes were made effective as of our 2019 annual meeting of stockholders.

We also have a policy of reimbursing all of our non-employee directors for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with attending Board and committee meetings.

Our fiscal 2020 director compensation program for non-employee directors consisted of the following elements:

 

Board or Board Committee    Position    Cash Retainer as of
June 5, 2019

The retainer for non-employee directors is paid in equal quarterly installments and the annual amount of the retainer for Board service was increased from $30,000 to $35,000, effective as of June 5, 2019.

  (2)

This retainer also applies to the Chairman of the Board if the chairman is a non-employee director.

  (3)

The target value of annual equity awards was increased from $175,000 to $190,000, effective as of June 5, 2019, of which 75% was allocated to the annual restricted stock unit award and 25% was allocated to the annual stock option award.

  2020 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

 

Upon the conclusion of each regular annual meeting of stockholders, each non-employee director who will continue to serve on our Board (including a director elected or appointed at such meeting) will be granted restricted stock units under our 2018 Equity Incentive Plan with a target value of $142,500 and an option to purchase shares of common stock having an aggregate target value of $47,500.

Each person who first becomes a non-employee director other than on the date of a regular annual meeting of stockholders will be granted a pro-rated annual equity award under our 2018 Equity Incentive Plan consisting of restricted stock units and an option to purchase shares of common stock. This pro-rated annual equity award will have an aggregate target value equal to (i) $190,000, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of whole months remaining until the one-year anniversary of the most recent annual meeting of stockholders and the denominator of which is 12. Each annual equity award and pro-rated annual equity award will be determined by dividing the target value or pro-rated target value for such award by (i) the average closing price of our common stock over the 30-trading day period ending on the date of grant in the case of restricted stock units and (ii) the grant date fair value in the case of stock options. Subject to a non-employee director’s continued service, each award will vest in full on the earlier of the one-year anniversary of the date of grant or on the date of the next annual meeting of stockholders. The awards will also vest in full in the event of a “change in control” (as defined in our 2018 Equity Incentive Plan).

DELINQUENT SECTION 16(A) REPORTS

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, as amended, requires our directors and officers, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of the Company’s common stock, to file reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC. To the Company’s knowledge, based solely on its review of such forms received by the Company and written representations that no other reports were required, all Section 16(a) filing requirements were complied with for fiscal 2020, except for one late Form 4 (reporting the initial grant of equity to Mr. Vasudevan pursuant to his appointment to the Board) filed by the Company on behalf of Mr. Vasudevan and one late Form 4 (reporting the initial grant of equity to Ms. Wassenaar pursuant to her appointment to the Board) filed by the Company on behalf of Ms. Wassenaar.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth, as of April 9, 2020, the beneficial ownership of our common stock by (i) each director and director nominee of the Company, (ii) each named executive officer of the Company named in the Fiscal 2020 Summary Compensation Table below, and (iii) all directors and executive officers of the Company as a group.

Applicable percentage ownership is based on 136,966,721 shares of common stock outstanding on April 9, 2020. In computing the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by a person or entity and the percentage ownership of that person or entity, we deemed to be outstanding all shares of common stock subject to options and RSUs held by that person or entity that are currently exercisable or that will become exercisable within 60 days of April 9, 2020. We did not deem these shares outstanding, however, for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person or entity. Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each beneficial owner listed in the table below is c/o Anaplan, Inc., 50 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105.

Company Highlights for Fiscal 2020

We are pioneering the category of Connected Planning. Our platform enables organizations to make better decisions and to plan and execute their ongoing digital transformation to compete in today’s digital economy. We believe Connected Planning is an essential cloud category. It fundamentally transforms planning by connecting all of the people, data, and plans needed to accelerate business value and enable real-time planning and decision-making in rapidly changing business environments. Connected Planning accelerates business value by transforming the way organizations make decisions and placing the power of planning in the hands of every individual at every level within and between organizations.

Highlights of the Company’s fiscal 2020 financial performance include:

 

   

Subscription Revenue: We generated subscription revenue of approximately $307.9 million up 48% year-over-year.

 

   

Dollar-Based Net Expansion: Our dollar-based net expansion rate continues to track at over 120%.

 

   

Remaining Performance Obligation: Our remaining performance obligation were $656 million, up 49% year-over-year.

Executive Compensation Decisions for Fiscal 2020

Our key executive compensation actions and decisions for fiscal 2020 were as follows:

 

   

CEO and NEO Base Salaries: In fiscal 2020, Mr. Calderoni received a 20% increase to his base salary, which was the first base salary increase since he joined Anaplan in January 2017. This increase reflected his role in our transformation to a public company and the Compensation Committee’s intention to improve his relative positioning based on benchmarking analysis of base salaries paid to CEOs of the companies in our compensation peer group, which was performed by the independent consultant to the Compensation Committee. Each of our other NEOs received an increase of 7.4% of their respective base salaries in fiscal 2020, as we continued to align their base salaries to levels that are more consistent with those of the executives holding comparable positions at the companies in our compensation peer group.

 

   

Pay for Performance – Annual Bonus Payouts: To promote our pay for performance philosophy, a portion of our NEO compensation in fiscal 2020 was structured as variable compensation to

  2020 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

 

 

become payable upon attainment of pre-established performance metrics that were set at levels that would result in the Company outperforming its guidance. While, in the aggregate, we exceeded the target levels for our annual incentive compensation plan for fiscal 2020, at management’s recommendation our Compensation Committee elected to reduce the funding amount to 110%, as we did not meet the target level for all performance metrics. The actual fiscal 2020 annual bonus for Mr. Calderoni was $495,000, and the amounts for our other NEOs ranged from $288,750 for Ms. Lee and Mr. Morton to $328,125 for Ms. Pinczuk.

 

   

NEO Short-Term Cash Bonus Incentives: In fiscal 2020, we did not increase the target cash bonus percentages for Mr. Calderoni and Mr. Morton, but did increase Ms. Pinczuk’s (as discussed below) and Ms. Lee’s target cash bonus percentages to better align with target bonus opportunities provided to executives holding comparable positions at the companies in our peer group. In fiscal 2020, Mr. Morton and Ms. Lee had a target cash bonus percentage of 70% of base salary, while Mr. Calderoni’s target cash bonus percentage was 100% of base salary.

 

   

Long-term Equity Incentive Awards: We granted long-term equity incentive awards in May 2019 to our CEO consisting of stock options and RSUs with an intended aggregate target value of $7,991,000. We granted long-term equity incentive awards in May 2019 to Mr. Morton consisting of stock options and RSUs with an intended aggregate target value of $3,000,000 and to Ms. Lee consisting of stock options and RSUs with an intended aggregate target value of $2,000,000.

 

   

Appointment of Chief Development Officer: In February 2019, Ms. Pinczuk joined us as our Chief Transformation Officer. In designing Ms. Pinczuk’s compensation package, we were focused on attracting and ultimately retaining an experienced technical leader, with strong general management experience, to join our Company at a crucial time in our growth trajectory. Subsequently, Ms. Pinczuk took on an expanded role, Chief Development Officer, responsible for all product and engineering functions, after we considered her excellent qualifications and outstanding performance in her early tenure at Anaplan. At time of hire, Ms. Pinczuk’s base salary was $350,000 and her target cash bonus percentage was 60% of base salary. In addition, she was granted a stock option and an RSU award, each vesting over four years, with an intended aggregate target value of $9,155,883. To reflect Ms. Pinczuk’s immediate display of leadership and her performance, we also granted an ongoing equity award in the form of a stock option and an RSU award with an intended aggregate target value of $3,000,000 in May 2019. Ms. Pinczuk’s base salary was increased to $375,000 and her target cash bonus percentage was adjusted to 70% of base salary during fiscal 2020 to align with the competitive market, as well as internal peer compensation.

Our Executive Compensation Philosophy

Our executive compensation strategy is designed to attract and retain high performing talent, accelerate our growth and increase stockholder value by aligning pay with performance. Over the last two years, our CEO and our Board have been in the process of transforming Anaplan from a private company into a publicly traded company poised for scale, led by a diverse, experienced, and talented senior management team with a strong corporate governance structure. To support such a transformation, our executive compensation program and pay practices have been tailored to attract, retain and incentivize talented leaders uniquely suited to help us achieve our goals.

Our compensation philosophy emphasizes a strong correlation between executive pay and our financial performance, and we have structured our executive compensation programs accordingly. Our Compensation Committee is responsible for designing and overseeing the compensation programs for our named executive

officers and reports to our Board on its discussions, decisions and other actions. The primary goals of our executive compensation programs are to:

 

   

Align Talent Attraction/Retention Goals with Sound Compensation Programs: In light of the highly competitive market for talent, we designed our compensation programs for new and existing named executive officers to attract and retain highly qualified individuals.

 

   

Align Annual Cash Incentives with Pay and Performance: We adopted an annual cash bonus plan for our named executive officers under which the annual cash bonus payouts are directly tied to achieving ambitious yet achievable corporate financial performance goals of revenue generation, operational efficiency and customer retention. Our overall corporate financial performance is used in determining our named executive officers’ annual cash bonus payouts under our annual cash bonus plan in order to incentivize them to meet and exceed our short-term business objectives.

 

   

Design Compensation Programs to Reinforce our Core Values: Our compensation programs are designed to recognize and reward our named executive officers who embody our core values of openness, authenticity, inclusivity, collaboration, creativity and tenacity.

 

   

Align Executive Compensation with Long-Term Stockholder Interests: We delivered the majority of our executive compensation in the form of long-term equity incentive awards to emphasize the importance of achieving our long-term strategic objectives, to promote alignment with stockholder interests, and to encourage our named executive officers to remain with us for the long-term.

 

   

Responsibly Manage Costs and Mitigate Risk: Our compensation programs are designed to incentivize prudent management of our operating expenses, and, increasing our operating efficiency, while driving financial performance for accelerated growth. Additionally, we conduct an annual compensation risk assessment to ensure that our compensation programs do not encourage risk taking that would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our business as a whole.

Compensation and Governance Practices and Policies

We have adopted executive compensation policies and practices that reinforce strong governance standards and our pay-for-performance philosophy. These policies and practices also align with industry best practices while allowing us to remain competitive in attracting and retaining top talent. The following chart summarizes our current policies and practices:

 

What We Do    What We Don’t Do
Tie a significant portion of our named executive officers’ target total direct compensation to the achievement of company-wide performance objectives    Do not guarantee base salary increases or bonus payments for our named executive officers
All employees, Board members and consultants are prohibited from conducting short sales, hedging of our securities and transactions involving derivatives of our common stock and are further prohibited from pledging of our securities as collateral for a loan without prior approval from our compliance officer    Do not permit re-pricing of stock options without stockholder approval

  2020 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

 

What We Do    What We Don’t Do
Require that our Compensation Committee is comprised entirely of independent directors    Do not provide defined benefit pension or retirement plans for our named executive officers that are different than retirement plans that are generally available to our full-time employees in the United States
Conduct an annual risk assessment of our compensation programs and practices    Do not have “single trigger” change in control arrangements with our named executive officers, with the exception of our CEO
Engage an independent compensation consultant through our Compensation Committee    Do not provide perquisites for our named executive officers, with a limited exception for our CFO to cover his commuting expenses

Role of Our Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee is responsible for the review and approval of all aspects of our executive compensation programs, including the components of cash, bonus and equity incentive awards. Our Compensation Committee approves all compensation decisions for our named executive officers with input from a compensation consultant that it directly engages. Our Compensation Committee is supported in its work by our human resources and legal teams and its compensation consultant. Additionally, our Compensation Committee is responsible to our Board for overseeing the design, development and administration of our compensation policies and programs, including:

 

   

establishing corporate performance goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of our named executive officers;

   

reviewing, evaluating and approving executive performance results in light of such goals and objectives;

   

administering and interpreting our equity incentive plans;

   

reviewing our policies and strategies related to talent management and succession planning; and

   

providing oversight of our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements associated with the compensation of our named executive officers, other employees, and the non-employee members of our Board while overseeing the risks associated with our compensation programs.

Role of the Compensation Consultant

Our Compensation Committee has the authority to hire compensation consultants, approve their compensation, determine the nature and scope of their services, evaluate their performance and terminate their engagement. For fiscal 2020, our Compensation Committee retained Compensia, Inc., a national compensation consulting firm (“Compensia”), as its compensation consultant to provide support in the discharge of its responsibilities. For fiscal 2020, Compensia advised the Compensation Committee on several compensation-related matters, including:

 

   

Assessing the competitiveness of our executive compensation programs and practices relative to market compensation practices;

   

Evaluating the composition of our compensation peer group and analyzing the compensation practices of the peer group companies; and

 

34  |  P a g e

  ANAPLAN, INC.      |      2020 Proxy Statement


Table of Contents

 

  2020 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

 

   

Supporting our Compensation Committee in its review of our executive compensation programs, including its review of base salary levels, the design of our annual cash incentive plan, and the determination of equity awards.

As part of its engagement, Compensia attended all meetings of our Compensation Committee and provided support and analyses, as requested, regarding the matters considered by the Compensation Committee. Compensia also met separately with our Compensation Committee members, as well as members of our senior management, to provide market intelligence, review materials and discuss management’s compensation recommendations.

Compensia also advised our Compensation Committee regarding the compensation of the non-employee members of our board of directors and the development of a compensation policy for our non-employee directors. Compensia did not provide any other services to us during fiscal 2020.

Independence of Compensation Consultant

Our Compensation Committee engaged Compensia because it recognizes the importance of receiving objective advice from its compensation consultant. Our Compensation Committee reviews the independence of Compensia at least annually. Our Compensation Committee determined that Compensia did not receive any fees from us or provide any services to us, except in its capacity as the compensation consultant to the Compensation Committee. Additionally, our Compensation Committee considered various other factors in determining Compensia’s independence, including, but not limited to, the amount of fees received by Compensia and the existence of any business or personal relationship that could impact Compensia’s independence. After reviewing the applicable rules of the SEC and the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange, our Compensation Committee determined that Compensia was independent and that the work performed by Compensia did not give rise to any conflicts of interest.

Role of our CEO and Management in the Decision-Making Process

As provided by its Charter, our Compensation Committee obtains input from our CEO in order to establish corporate performance goals and objectives relevant to our executive compensation program for our other NEOs. Our Compensation Committee also consults with our CEO to determine and approve all compensation paid to our named executive officers that report to him, including the amount of any base salary increase, the amount of any annual incentive bonus and the intended target value of any long-term equity award. These recommendations are based upon his assessment of each named executive officer’s performance, our performance as a whole, and individual retention considerations. Our Compensation Committee considers our CEO’s recommendations and approves our named executive officers’ compensation as it determines in its sole discretion. Our CEO recuses himself when our Compensation Committee discusses his compensation and he does not play any role in determining his own compensation.

Our human resources team assists our Compensation Committee in its review of our executive compensation plans and programs, including providing market data on competitive pay practices, program design and changes in the corporate governance landscape concerning executive compensation matters.

Prior Year’s Stockholder Advisory Vote

Through the end of fiscal 2019, we were an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 and were not required to hold a non-binding, advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers (a “Say-on-Pay vote”). As we are no longer an emerging growth company, we

 

ANAPLAN, INC.      |      2020 Proxy Statement  

P a g e  |  35


Table of Contents

 

  2020 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

 

will be conducting a non-binding, advisory vote at the 2020 Annual Meeting on how frequently our stockholders would like us to conduct future Say-on-Pay votes as described in Proposal No. 3 of this Proxy Statement (a “Say-on-Frequency vote”). Our Board recommends a frequency of one year for the Say-on-Frequency vote. Because we value the opinions of our stockholders, our Board and our Compensation Committee will consider the outcome of the Say-on-Frequency vote when determining the frequency of conducting Say-on-Pay votes in the future. Our Board and our Compensation Committee will consider the results of future Say-on-Pay votes, and other feedback from stockholders when making future compensation decisions for our named executive officers.

Compensation Peer Group

As part of our annual compensation review, our Compensation Committee compares our executive compensation against the competitive market, based on a curated group of peer companies as well as data from compensation surveys. This data provides valuable market insight with respect to current executive compensation policies and practices. Our Compensation Committee, in consultation with Compensia, evaluates how our pay practices and our named executive officers’ total direct compensation compare to the competitive market.

To develop the fiscal 2020 compensation peer group (the “Peer Group”), our Compensation Committee considered companies that are in the technology industry and that are similar to us in terms of industry, revenue, and market capitalization.

Specifically, in developing our Peer Group we considered:

 

   

Companies in a similar industry and competitive market for talent, including companies that:

     

provide software as a service;

     

have a business-to-business model;

     

have similar revenue growth; and

     

have similar market capitalization as a percent of revenue.

 

   

Companies that had revenue within a range of 0.5 to 2.0 times Anaplan’s annual revenue;

 

   

Companies that had a market capitalization within a range of 0.33 to 3.0 times Anaplan’s market capitalization;

In fiscal 2020, our Compensation Committee made significant changes to our Peer Group, to reflect our recent growth. We added eight new companies to our Peer Group, including a number of recently public companies. The new additions were Alteryx, Inc., Avalara, Inc., Elastic NV, MongoDB, Inc., Paylocity Holding Corp., RingCentral, Inc., Zuora, Inc., and Zscaler, Inc. We removed six companies from our Peer Group, primarily as the result of acquisitions: Callidus Software, Inc., Ellie Mae, Inc., Hortonworks, Inc., MINDBODY, Inc., MuleSoft, Inc., and Q2 Software, Inc.

Compensation Survey Data

Our Compensation Committee uses data drawn from our Peer Group, as well as data from the Radford Global Technology executive compensation survey (the “Radford Survey”) to evaluate the competitive market when making its compensation decisions. The Radford Survey provides compensation market intelligence and is widely used within the technology industry.

In addition, subsets of the Radford Survey were incorporated into the competitive assessment prepared by Compensia and used by our Compensation Committee to evaluate the compensation of our named executive officers. Specifically, our Compensation Committee received a custom report of survey results reflecting only companies from our Peer Group in addition to survey results tailored solely based on revenue. The Radford Survey data supplements the Peer Group data and provides additional information for our named executive officers and other vice president positions for which there is less comparable data that is publicly available.

Named Executive Officers

In consultation with our CEO (except with respect to his own compensation), our Compensation Committee reviews all compensation elements for our named executive officers at least annually, and our Compensation Committee determines the relative value of each component of compensation for each named executive officer. The compensation mix of each pay component value relative to total compensation varies for each named executive officer. While, for all named executive officers, the largest portion of their target total direct compensation is comprised of long-term equity incentives, the differences in the scope of each named executive officer’s responsibility is the key driver of variations in their compensation mix. The mix of target total direct annual compensation for our named executive officers was as follows:

Total Annual Target Compensation Mix

 

 

LOGO

Our Compensation Committee considers the pay practices of our Peer Group companies in determining target compensation for our named executive officers. However, we do not consider Peer Group performance results when evaluating base salary levels or determining the size of particular incentive awards. In determining the target amounts and compensation mix for each named executive officer, our Compensation Committee also considers factors such as individual performance, the criticality of the role, our organizational needs at our current stage of growth, overall retention value, internal pay equity, and potential future value of the total compensation package.

Base Salary

Base salaries represent the fixed annual cash amounts paid to our named executive officers and are an important component of compensation intended to attract and retain high-performing individuals. In reviewing and determining base salaries, our Compensation Committee considers:

 

   

competitive market information for comparable positions in the Peer Group;

   

potential impact of the role and its criticality at our stage of growth;

   

related experience and the relevance of the role within the organization;

   

overall ability to influence our financial performance and the strategic impact of the role; and

   

the ease or difficulty of replacing the incumbent in a highly competitive labor market.

  2020 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

 

During fiscal 2020, our Compensation Committee increased Mr. Calderoni’s base salary from $375,000 to $450,000 after a review of Mr. Calderoni’s positioning relative to CEOs in the Peer Group, in consideration of Mr. Calderoni’s increased responsibilities resulting from our transition from a private to a public company, and that Mr. Calderoni had not received a salary increase since being hired in 2017 in addition to the factors described above. The base salaries of each of our other named executive officers was also increased during fiscal 2020 from $350,000 to $375,000. Our Compensation Committee determined that such salaries were appropriate based on its review of each individual’s performance and the factors described above, and further considering the recommendations of our CEO (except with respect to his own base salary).

Our Compensation Committee reviews named executive officer salaries annually, but we may adjust them during the year to reflect significant changes in the scope of a named executive officer’s responsibilities or market conditions. The Compensation Committee evaluates the base salaries of our named executive officers in the context of establishing their total cash compensation at levels that are generally consistent with the target total cash compensation of the named executive officers holding comparable positions at companies in our Peer Group.

The base salaries paid to our named executive officers for fiscal 2020 are also set forth in the “Fiscal 2020 Summary Compensation Table” below.

Annual Cash Bonus Plan

Cash Bonus Plan Structure

All of our named executive officers are eligible to participate in our corporate annual cash bonus plan, which is designed to promote achievement of pre-established company-wide performance objectives set by our Compensation Committee. Our Compensation Committee believes that the performance metrics described below are the best indicators of our successful execution of our annual operating plan.

Target Cash Bonus Opportunities

The annual cash bonus award serves as a variable, contingent and performance-based component of our named executive officers’ target total direct compensation and rewards them for results and achievements in a given year. The target cash bonus opportunity for each named executive officer is determined based on competitive market data, the criticality of their role, and internal pay equity among other considerations and expressed as a percentage of base salary.

For fiscal 2020, Mr. Calderoni had a target bonus opportunity equal to 100% of his annual base salary and based on their respective roles in the Company, the other named executive officers had target bonus opportunities of 70% of their individual annual base salaries. Ms. Lee’s and Ms. Pinczuk’s target bonus opportunities were

increased from 60% to 70% during fiscal 2020, to better align their compensation with internal peers and similarly situated executives at the companies in our Peer Group.

Corporate Performance Metrics

Our Compensation Committee approved the performance metrics and bonus attainment targets to be used for calculating annual bonus awards under our corporate annual cash bonus plan for fiscal 2020 and such targets were set at levels that would result in the Company outperforming its guidance. The amount of the cash bonus awards under our corporate annual cash bonus plan for fiscal 2020 was determined based on our performance with respect to the following metrics:

 

   

Net New Annual Contract Value (“NNACV”) to measure growth in revenue. NNACV is defined as annual new subscription bookings resulting from transactions with new customers as well as new subscription transactions with existing customers;

   

Operating Margin (as represented through “adjusted EBITDA”) to measure operational efficiency. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, acquisition costs and certain other expenses; and

   

Contract Renewal Rate (“Renewal Rate”) to measure customer satisfaction rates. Renewal Rate is defined as a percentage determined by the renewed customer bookings divided by bookings that are ready for renewal in a given quarter. Renewed bookings can be a fully renewed customer contract or a renewal at a lower annual contract value.

Key factors and results for these performance metrics for fiscal 2020 are as follows:

 

Performance Metric  

FY20

Weight

 

FY20 Attainment

(% of Target)

NNACV

  50%   93%

Adjusted EBITDA

  25%   150%

Renewal Rate

  25%   95%

Our Compensation Committee sets threshold, target and maximum levels for each of the three-performance metrics described above. Once we achieve or exceed the threshold performance level for any of the three metrics, the bonus award funding pool becomes available for the payment of bonuses to all eligible employees, including our named executive officers. Against our adjusted EBITDA performance target of negative $63 million for fiscal 2020, we achieved an actual adjusted EBITDA of negative $31.3 million. We are not disclosing performance targets for NNACV and Renewal Rate as they represent non-public information that would result in competitive harm to the company if disclosed. The target levels established for these metrics were intended to require a significant effort on the part of our executive officers, and therefore, were set at levels the Compensation Committee believed would be difficult to achieve and for which average or below-average performance would result in below-target or no bonus payments.

Based on the pre-established corporate performance metrics identified above and set at the beginning of the fiscal year, our cash bonus plan funded at a level of 116%, but since we did not achieve the target performance level for all three metrics, after taking into consideration management’s recommendation, our Compensation Committee exercised its discretion to reduce the corporate bonus funding to 110% for fiscal 2020.

Individual Performance Factor

In determining the amount of annual cash bonus payments, our Compensation Committee also considered an evaluation of each named executive officer’s individual performance for the year. Generally, this evaluation involved, in the case of our CEO, the Board’s evaluation of his performance led by the Lead Independent Director at the behest of our Compensation Committee and, in the case of our other NEOs, an evaluation by our CEO.

Our Compensation Committee determines individual awards paid to each named executive officer following the end of the performance period after the Board of Directors certifies our financial and operational performance. Our Compensation Committee retains the discretion to increase or reduce the amount of the bonus payouts to our CEO and, with input from our CEO, the other named executive officers based on its overall assessment of each named executive officer’s individual performance, including performance related to departmental goals.

Fiscal 2020 Bonus Decisions

Based on input from Mr. Calderoni, the Compensation Committee determined, in its discretion, that Ms. Pinczuk’s individual performance warranted a bonus payout at 125% of her target opportunity. Ms. Pinczuk’s bonus payout reflected the engineering and products team’s overachievement of its departmental goals as a result of the increased velocity of technical innovation. Our Compensation Committee also recognized Messrs. Calderoni and Morton’s and Ms. Lee’s individual performance and determined to set each of their bonus payouts at 110% of their individual target opportunities. Based on the foregoing, the Compensation Committee determined to award the following bonuses for fiscal 2020:

Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards

In fiscal 2020, our Compensation Committee awarded equity awards to our named executive officers under the terms of the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”).

Our long-term equity incentive awards are designed to:

 

   

focus our named executive officers on achieving longer-term business performance goals;

   

provide significant reward potential for our outstanding corporate performance;

   

enhance our ability to attract and retain highly qualified executive officers; and

   

provide our named executive officers with an opportunity for greater equity ownership to increase stockholder return.

The Compensation Committee typically grants equity awards to our named executive officers at the time of hire, and thereafter annually, based on performance. The size of the equity awards granted to our named executive officers is based on factors such as the prevailing market conditions, internal equity, the equity

  2020 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

 

award’s potential incentive and retention value, and the named executive officer’s experience, role, and responsibilities.

Types of Equity Incentive Awards

Our Compensation Committee determines the overall structure of the equity program and grants equity awards that generally consist of a mix of time-vesting stock options and RSUs. These awards reflect our Compensation Committee’s review and assessment of market practices at the companies in the Peer Group, as well as its determination that awarding a mix of options and RSUs to our named executive officers provides an appropriate blend of incentives to reward and retain our named executive officers and sustain and enhance our financial performance and stockholder value over time.

Stock Options

Our stock options generally vest over a period of four years, contingent on continued service, and have a ten-year term. Stock options are awarded with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. Typically, for newly hired executive officers, 25% of the stock options vest after one year of service followed by 12 equal quarterly installments over a three-year period, contingent on continued service. Ongoing stock option awards to our named executive officers, after the first year of service, vest in 16 quarterly installments over a four-year period beginning on the first quarterly vesting date after the date of grant, contingent on continued service.

RSU Awards

Each RSU award represents a contingent right to receive one share of our common stock and is settled in shares of our common stock generally vesting over a four-year period. Typically, for newly hired executive officers, 25% of the RSUs vest after one year of service followed by 12 equal quarterly installments over a three-year period, contingent on continued service. Ongoing RSU awards to our named executive officers, after the first year of service, vest in 16 quarterly installments over a four-year period beginning on the first quarterly vesting date after the date of grant, contingent on continued service.

Fiscal 2020 Equity Awards for Messrs. Calderoni and Morton and Ms. Lee

Stock Options – For fiscal 2020, Messrs. Calderoni and Morton and Ms. Lee received an ongoing stock option award. Mr. Calderoni’s stock options vest in 16 quarterly installments over a four-year period beginning on the first quarterly vesting date after the date of grant, contingent on continued service As Mr. Morton and Ms. Lee had not yet reached one year of service at the time of their award, their awards vest over a period of four years contingent on continued service, but 1/8 vests after two quarters, with the remaining 7/8 vesting in equal installments, quarterly thereafter.

For our fiscal 2020 ongoing equity awards, the aggregate intended target value was converted into a mix of 75% RSUs and 25% stock options using the average closing price of our common stock over the 30 trading-day period ending two days prior to the grant date for the RSUs and using a Black-Scholes value on the grant date for the stock options. The amounts reported in the “Fiscal 2020 Summary Compensation Table” below represent the grant date fair values of the fiscal 2020 long-term equity awards computed in accordance with ASC 718.

Fiscal 2020 Equity Awards for Ms. Pinczuk

Ms. Pinczuk was hired as our Chief Transformation Officer in February 2019. In fiscal 2020, Ms. Pinczuk took an expanded role of Chief Development Officer, overseeing our product and engineering organizations.

In fiscal 2020 the Compensation Committee approved the following equity awards for Ms. Pinczuk:

Ongoing

   46,713    58,623    $3,000,000

New Hire Award

In connection with her appointment as our Chief Transformation Officer, in February 2019 Ms. Pinczuk was granted an equity award in the form of a stock option and an RSU award with an intended aggregate target value of $9,155,833. In determining the target value of this equity award, the Compensation Committee considered prevailing market conditions, the internal and external value of the role, Ms. Pinczuk’s previous compensation, and the award’s potential retention value. Consistent with our customary approach for new hire equity awards, Ms. Pinczuk’s equity award vests as follows:

 

   

The RSU award covers 250,000 shares of our common stock and vests over a four-year period with 25% of the shares subject to the award vesting after one year of service and the remainder vesting in equal quarterly installments thereafter, contingent upon her continued service through each vesting date; and

   

The stock option covers 70,000 shares of our common stock, has a ten-year term and vests over a period of four years with 25% of the shares subject to the option vesting after one year of service and the remainder vesting in equal monthly installments thereafter, contingent upon her continued service through each vesting date.

Ongoing Award

In May 2019, Ms. Pinczuk was granted an ongoing equity award in the form of a stock option and RSU award with an intended aggregate target value of $3,000,000. This award was granted as part of our annual compensation review for all executive officers. Given her receipt of this award shortly after her new hire award in February, our Compensation Committee determined that a special vesting schedule was appropriate. As a result, the stock option award, which covers 46,713 shares of our common stock, vests over a three-year period with 50% of the shares subject to the option vesting after two years of service and 50% vesting after three years of service, contingent upon her continued service as of each vesting date. The RSU award, which covers 58,623 shares of our common stock, vests over a three-year period with 50% of the shares subject to the award vesting after two years and the remainder vesting quarterly thereafter, contingent upon her continued service as of each vesting date.

Health and Welfare Benefits

Our NEOs are eligible to participate in a broad range of health and welfare benefit programs in the same manner as our non-executive employees, including our Section 401(k), employee stock purchase, health insurance, dental insurance, short-term disability and life insurance plans. Anaplan does not offer separate benefits for our named executive officers, other than severance benefits (see “Severance and Change in Control Benefits,” below).

Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits

Generally, we do not provide perquisites or other personal benefits to our named executive officers other than those that are available to all employees. However, our Compensation Committee may authorize providing perquisites to our named executive officers to the extent that it determines that doing so will materially enhance the efficiency or effectiveness of a named executive officer. For fiscal 2020, we provided a car service to Mr. Morton to accommodate his commute, as listed under “Personal/Guest Travel” in the “Fiscal 2020 All Other Compensation Table” under the “Fiscal 2020 Summary Compensation Table” below. We believe the ability to provide perquisites designed to enhance the productivity of our executives could assist us in attracting and retaining talented executives.

Employment Agreements

Offer Letters in Place During Fiscal 2020 for Named Executive Officers

We have entered into employment offer letters with each of our named executive officers, each of which provides for “at-will” employment. Each of those offer letters provides for the named executive officer’s annual base salary, the opportunity to earn an annual bonus, and the target amount of the annual bonus. We entered into a new employment offer letter with Mr. Calderoni in September 2018 which superseded the terms that were set forth in his original offer letter with us. The employment offer letters with our other executive officers were entered into in connection with the commencement of their employment with us. Accordingly, the employment offer letters for our other executive officers also provided for the grant of such executive officers’ initial equity-based awards with us. Ms. Pinczuk’s offer letter also provided her with a retention bonus that was earned over her first year of employment with us.

In accordance with our employment letters, the annual base salaries of our named executive officers will be reviewed from time to time (and, in the case of Mr. Calderoni, reviewed at least annually by the Compensation Committee) and adjusted when our Compensation Committee determines an adjustment is appropriate, provided that their annual base salaries (and, in the case of Mr. Calderoni, his target annual bonus) will not be

adjusted downwards other than in connection with across-the-board reductions affecting all similarly situated executives. We also entered into a severance and change in control agreement with each of our named executive officers, pursuant to which each named executive officer will become eligible to receive certain benefits in the event his or her employment is terminated under certain circumstances or our change in control, as described under “—Severance and Change-in-Control Benefits” below.

Other Company Policies and Compensation Considerations

Impact of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code

Historically, Section 162(m) of the Code has limited companies to a deduction for federal income tax purposes of not more than $1 million of compensation paid to certain named executive officers in a calendar year, subject to certain exceptions, including an exception for certain “performance-based compensation,” as defined in the Code and accompanying regulations. Under a transition rule that applies to newly public companies, the Section 162(m) deduction limit generally does not apply to compensation paid pursuant to an arrangement that was in existence prior to our initial public offering if certain requirements are met. In taxable years beginning prior to January 1, 2018, there was also an exemption from the Section 162(m) deduction limit for “performance-based compensation.” However, this exemption has been repealed. As a result, it is no longer available as a means of enhancing the deductibility of compensation paid to our CEO and other named executive officers. While our Compensation Committee is mindful of the benefit of deducting compensation, it believes that our stockholders’ interests are best served if its discretion and flexibility in awarding compensation is not restricted and it has accordingly retained the discretion to pay compensation that may not be tax deductible. In determining the form and amount of compensation for our named executive officers, our Compensation Committee may continue to consider all factors impacting the cost of executive compensation in alignment with our overall compensation philosophy.

Policy Regarding Hedging and Pledging of Our Equity Securities

Our Insider Trading Compliance Policy prohibits hedging of our securities by our employees, directors and consultants. With respect to pledging of our securities, directors and named executive officers are prohibited from pledging our securities as collateral for a loan unless a Compliance Officer provides pre-clearance after the director or the named executive officer clearly demonstrates the financial capability to repay the loan without resort to the pledged securities. No approvals for pledging Company securities as collateral for a loan were requested or granted in fiscal 2020 and the Company strongly discourages such arrangements and no such arrangement exists.

Grant Timing Practices

Our annual long-term equity awards are typically made in the first quarter of our fiscal year. From time to time, we grant equity awards outside of our annual grant cycle for new hires, promotions, recognition, retention or other purposes. These “off cycle” grants are made on a limited basis. We have no practice or policy of coordinating or timing the release of our Company information around the grant date of our annual long-term equity awards.

See the “Fiscal 2020 Summary Compensation Table” and the “Fiscal 2020 Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table” below for more information on the equity awards that we granted to our named executive officers in fiscal 2020.

  2020 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

 

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

Under ASC 718, we are required to estimate and record an expense for each award of equity compensation over the vesting period of the award. We record share-based compensation expense on an ongoing basis according to ASC 718.

Severance and Change-in-Control Benefits

We have entered into severance and change in control agreements (the “Post-Employment Compensation Agreements”) with each of our named executive officers, which provide for specified payments and benefits in the event of certain qualifying terminations of employment, including a qualifying termination of employment in connection with a change in control of the Company. The terms and conditions of these arrangements were approved by the Compensation Committee after an analysis of competitive market data.

Receipt of these payments and benefits is generally contingent on the named executive officer executing and not revoking a general release of claims against the Company and certain related parties.

The Post-Employment Compensation Agreements are designed to provide reasonable compensation to our named executive officers who leave our employ under certain circumstances to facilitate their transition to new employment. Further, we seek to mitigate any potential employer liability and avoid future disputes or litigation by requiring a departing named executive officer to sign a separation and release agreement acceptable to us as a condition to receiving post-employment compensation payments or benefits.

We believe the Post-Employment Compensation Agreements also align the interests of our named executive officers and our stockholders when considering our long-term future. The primary purpose of these arrangements in the case of a change in control of the Company is to keep our most senior executive officers focused on pursuing all corporate transaction activity in the best interests of our stockholders regardless of whether those transactions may result in their own job loss. Reasonable post-acquisition payments and benefits should serve the interests of both the named executive officer and our stockholders.

In determining payment and benefit levels under the various circumstances triggering post-employment compensation provisions under the Post-Employment Compensation Agreements, our Compensation Committee has drawn a distinction between terminations of employment initiated by us for cause or voluntary resignations by our named executive officers without good reason and terminations of employment initiated by us without cause or voluntary resignations by our named executive officers for good reason. Payment in the latter circumstances has been deemed appropriate in light of the benefits described in the prior paragraphs, as well as the likelihood that the named executive officer’s departure is due, at least in part, to circumstances not within his or her control. In contrast, we believe that payments are not appropriate in the event of a termination of employment initiated by us for cause or a voluntary resignation by a named executive officer without good reason because such events often reflect either performance challenges or an affirmative decision by the named executive officer to end his or her relationship without fault by the Company.

Except as noted hereafter, no payments, benefits or acceleration of vesting of payments or benefits will be triggered solely upon the occurrence of a change in control of the Company, unless an acquirer does not assume or substitute a comparable award for an outstanding equity award or there is also a loss of employment by a named executive officer during the change in control period beginning three months before and up to 12 months after a qualified change in control, or 18 months in case of our CEO (a so-called “double-trigger” arrangement). Generally, in the case of the acceleration of vesting of outstanding equity awards, we use this “double-trigger” arrangement to protect against the loss of retention value following a change in control of the

  2020 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

 

Company and to avoid windfalls, both of which could occur if vesting of either equity or cash-based awards accelerated automatically as a result of the transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under the terms of his Post-Employment Compensation Agreement with us, if Mr. Calderoni remains employed through the occurrence of a change in control of the Company, then 50% of his then-unvested shares subject to his outstanding equity awards will immediately vest, and in the case of stock options become immediately exercisable, and if he remains in continuous service with us through the one-year anniversary of a change in control of the Company, then all of his then-unvested shares subject to such outstanding equity awards will immediately vest, and in the case of stock options become immediately exercisable.

Under each of the Post-Employment Compensation Agreements, in the event any payment to a named executive officer pursuant to his or her agreement would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (as a result of the payment being classified as a “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code), he or she will receive such payment as would entitle him or her to receive the greatest after-tax benefit, even if it means that we pay him or her a lower aggregate payment so as to minimize or eliminate the potential excise tax that would be imposed by Section 4999.

Historically, we have avoided the use of excise tax “gross-up” provisions relating to a change in control of the Company and have no such gross-up obligations in place with respect to any of our named executive officers.

We believe that having in place reasonable and competitive post-employment compensation arrangements are essential to attracting and retaining highly qualified executives. Our Compensation Committee does not consider the specific amounts payable under these post-employment compensation arrangements when determining the annual compensation of our executive officers. However, we do believe that these arrangements are necessary to offer compensation packages that are competitive.

For detailed descriptions of the Post-Employment Compensation Agreements we maintained with our named executive officers during 2019, as well as an estimate of the potential payments and benefits that they would have been eligible to receive if a hypothetical change in control or other trigger event had occurred on January 31, 2020, see “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control” below.

Severance and Change-in-Control Benefits

Pursuant to the Post-Employment Compensation Agreements we entered into with each of our NEOs, we have agreed to make certain payments and provide certain benefits upon the conditions described below, generally contingent on the officer executing and not revoking a general release of claims against us and certain related parties (and, to the extent applicable, resigning as a member of our Board). We offer severance and change in control benefits to our NEOs in order to provide a measure of security to our NEOs to minimize any distractions related to termination of employment or change in control and allow our NEOs to focus on their duties and responsibilities to maximize stockholder value. Except as noted below for Mr. Calderoni, all change in control benefits that we provide to our NEOs are “double trigger” change in control benefits in order to maximize our ability to retain our NEOs in the event of a change in control. Further, we do not provide any tax gross ups on any excise tax payments to our NEOs pursuant to their severance and change in control agreements.

Frank Calderoni

Pursuant to the Post-Employment Compensation Agreement we entered into with Mr. Calderoni, if he dies or becomes disabled, is terminated without “cause”, or resigns for “good reason” (each as defined therein) at any time during his service with us, he will be eligible to receive:

 

   

Severance Payments:

     

severance payments in an aggregate amount equal to the sum of 100% of his annual base salary plus 100% of his target annual bonus in effect at the time of termination paid over the 12-month period following such qualifying termination of employment (or in a lump sum upon death or disability); or

     

if such qualifying termination of employment occurs during the period commencing three months prior to and ending 18 months after a change in control, he will instead receive a lump-sum payment in an amount equal to the sum of 150% of his annual base salary plus 150% of his target annual bonus then in effect;

 

   

COBRA:

     

a lump-sum payment in an amount equal to the COBRA premiums he would be required to pay to continue healthcare coverage for a period of 18 months;

  2020 NOTICE OF MEETING AND PROXY STATEMENT

 

 

   

Equity Vesting:

     

any unvested shares subject to his then-outstanding equity awards that would have vested during the six-month period following such qualifying termination of employment will immediately vest, and in the case of options become immediately exercisable, and any performance-based goals will be deemed to have been met at the greater of actual performance or target levels; or

     

if such qualifying termination of employment occurs during the period commencing three months prior to and ending 18 months after a change in control, then all of then unvested shares subject to the then-outstanding equity awards will immediately vest, and, in each case, any performance-based goals will be deemed to have been met at the greater of actual performance or target levels.

In addition, if Mr. Calderoni remains employed through the occurrence of our change in control, then 50% of the then-unvested shares subject to Mr. Calderoni’s equity awards will immediately vest, and in the case of options become immediately exercisable, and if Mr. Calderoni remains employed with us through the one-year anniversary of a change in control, then all of the then-unvested shares subject to such awards will immediately vest, and in the case of options become immediately exercisable. These change in control terms were part of the employment letter we entered into with Mr. Calderoni prior to our IPO and were not modified when we transitioned to be a public company.

David H. Morton, Jr.; Ana Pinczuk; Vivie Lee

We have also entered into Post-Employment Compensation Agreements with Mr. Morton, Ms. Pinczuk, and Ms. Lee in connection with the commencement of their employment. Pursuant to each of their Post-Employment Compensation Agreements, if the named executive officer dies or becomes disabled, is terminated without “cause”, or resigns for “good reason” (each as defined in the named executive officer’s agreement) at any time during his or her service with us, he or she will be eligible to receive:

 

   

Severance Payments:

     

severance payments in an aggregate amount equal to 50% of his or her annual base salary paid over the 6-month period following such qualifying termination of employment (or in a lump-sum payment upon death or disability); or

     

if such qualifying termination of employment occurs during the period commencing three months prior to and ending 12 months after our change in control, he or she will instead receive a lump-sum payment in an amount equal to the sum of 100% of his or her annual base salary plus 100% of his or her target annual bonus then in effect;

 

   

COBRA:

     

a lump-sum payment in an amount equal to the COBRA premiums he or she would be required to pay to continue healthcare coverage for a period of 6 months; or

     

if such qualifying termination occurs during a change in control period, the named executive officer will instead receive a lump-sum payment in an amount equal to the COBRA premiums he or she would be required to pay to continue health coverage for a period of 12 months.

 

   

Equity Vesting:

     

if such qualifying termination of employment occurs during a change in control period (or his or her employment ends at any time as a result of his or her death or disability), all of the unvested shares subject to his or her then-outstanding equity awards will immediately vest, and in the case of options become immediately exercisable, and any performance-based goals will be deemed to have been met at the greater of actual performance or target levels.

For further details on the Severance Plan, see the section titled “Compensation of Named Executive Officers—Potential Payments upon Qualifying Termination or Change in Control.”

  period as further described under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Severance and Change-in-Control Benefits”. All payments will be made in a lump sum unless otherwise noted.
(1)

Payments to be made over a 12-month period.

(2)

The amounts shown represent the value of options that receive accelerated vesting assuming that the market price per share of our common shares on the date of termination of employment (or change in control if applicable) was equal to the closing price on January 31, 2020, or $57.59 per share, and are based on the difference between this price and the exercise price of options held by the NEO. As a result, the amounts represented do not include any value for the acceleration of options that have an exercise price greater than $57.59 or for options that were already vested as of January 31, 2020.

(3)

The amount shown represents the estimated value of accelerated vesting of options due to Mr. Calderoni in the event he is terminated during a change in control period. If instead he remains in continuous service through a change in control, the estimated value of accelerated vesting of options due to Mr. Calderoni, as a result of the vesting of his outstanding stock options, would be $27,361,983. If he remains in continuous service through the 12-month anniversary of a change in control, the estimated value of potential payments due to Mr. Calderoni, as a result of the vesting of his outstanding stock options, would be an additional $27,361,983.

(4)

The amounts shown represent the value of awards of restricted stock units that receive accelerated vesting assuming that the market price per share of our common shares on the date of termination of employment (or change in control if applicable) was equal to the closing price on January 31, 2020, or $57.59 per share.

(5)

The amount shown represents the estimated value of the accelerated vesting of restricted stock units due to Mr. Calderoni in the event he is terminated during a change in control period. If instead he remains in continuous service through a change in control, the estimated value of potential payments due to Mr. Calderoni, as a result of the vesting of his restricted stock units, would be $62,576,804 and, if he remains in continuous service through the 12-month anniversary of a change in control, the estimated value of accelerated vesting of restricted stock units due to Mr. Calderoni would be an additional $62,576,804.

(6)

Payments to be made over a 6 month period.

In order for a NEO to be eligible to receive payment upon a qualifying termination of employment, such NEO must agree to enter into our then-standard separation agreement and release of claims which, among other things, may contain non-disparagement and non-solicitation terms.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The information contained in the following report of Anaplan’s Audit Committee is not considered to be “soliciting material,” “filed” or incorporated by reference in any past or future filing by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or the Securities Act of 1933 unless and only to the extent that Anaplan specifically incorporates it by reference.

The Audit Committee’s general role is to assist the Board in monitoring and overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process and related matters. Our management is responsible for preparing and presenting our financial statements, and our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, is responsible for performing an independent audit of our annual consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB). The Audit Committee’s specific responsibilities are set forth in its charter.

In connection with the preparation of the financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020, the Audit Committee performed the following tasks:

 

   

The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed the Company’s consolidated financial statements for its fiscal year ended January 31, 2020 with its management team;

   

The Audit Committee met with representatives of KPMG LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, to discuss the consolidated financial statements;

   

The Audit Committee also discussed with members of KPMG LLP the matters required to be discussed by the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended (AICPA Performance Standards Vol. 1. AU Section 380), as adopted by the PCAOB in Rule 3200T.

In addition, the Audit Committee received the written disclosures and the letter from KPMG LLP required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and discussed with members of KPMG LLP its independence.

Based upon these reviews and discussions, and other matters it deemed relevant, the Audit Committee recommended, and the Board approved, that our audited consolidated financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020, for filing with the SEC.

Fees Paid to Independent Auditors

The aggregate fees paid or accrued by us for professional services provided by KPMG LLP in the fiscal years ended January 31, 2020 and January 31, 2019 are set forth below.

 

    Fiscal Year
      2020            2019    

Audit Fees

  $2,135,000    $2,175,000

Audit-Related Fees

  -    $300,000

Tax Fees

  $80,000    $63,380

All Other Fees

  -    $20,000
 

 

  

 

Total

      $2,215,000        $2,558,380  
 

 

  

 

Audit Fees. This category consists of professional services provided in connection with the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements and the review of our unaudited quarterly consolidated financial statements.

Audit-Related Fees. This category consists of assurance and related services provided by KPMG LLP that were reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our consolidated financial statements and which are not reported above under “Audit Fees”. For fiscal 2020, this category includes: agreed upon procedures, engagements, and advisement on accounting matters that arose during those years in connection with the preparation of our annual and quarterly consolidated financial statements.

Tax Fees. This category consists primarily of professional services provided by KPMG LLP primarily for tax compliance for fiscal 2020 and 2019.

All Other Fees. This category consists of consulting fees for GDPR compliance for fiscal year 2019.

In fiscal 2020 and 2019, all audit, audit related, tax and all other fees were pre-approved by the Audit Committee. Under the SEC rules, subject to certain permitted de minimis criteria, pre-approval is required for all professional services rendered by the Company’s principal accountant. We comply with these SEC rules. In making its recommendation to ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2021, the Audit Committee considered whether the services provided to us by KPMG LLP are compatible with maintaining the independence of KPMG LLP from us. The Audit Committee has determined that the provision of these services by KPMG LLP is compatible with maintaining that independence.

Pre-Approval of Services by Independent Auditors

The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and other permitted non-audit services provided to us by our independent auditors. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other permissible non-audit services. The Audit Committee may also pre-approve particular services on a case-by-case basis. Our independent auditors and senior management periodically report to the Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent auditors.

PROPOSAL THREE – NON-BINDING ADVISORY VOTE ON THE FREQUENCY OF FUTURE ADVISORY VOTES ON OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS’ COMPENSATION

Pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, every six years we must provide stockholders an opportunity to vote, on a non-binding and advisory basis, for their preference on how frequently we should seek future non-binding advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers. Stockholders have the opportunity to recommend, on a non-binding advisory basis, whether they would prefer these advisory votes on named executive officer compensation to be presented for stockholder approval every one, two or three years. An advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers is commonly referred to as a “Say-on-Pay” vote, and we anticipate that we will conduct a Say-on-Pay vote for the first time at the annual meeting of the stockholders in 2021.

When voting on this proposal, you have four choices. You may vote to recommend that the advisory vote on named executive officer compensation take place every “ONE YEAR”, “TWO YEARS”, “THREE YEARS”, or you may “ABSTAIN” from voting on this proposal.

After careful consideration, our Board recommends that future stockholder advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers be held annually. We believe that an annual advisory vote on named executive officer compensation will enable our stockholders to provide timely feedback on our named executive officer compensation policies and practices, which will then be considered by our Board.

As this is an advisory vote, you are not voting to approve or disapprove of the Board’s recommendation. Instead, you are indicating to the Board what your preferred frequency is as to future stockholder advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers. Nevertheless, our Board appreciates your input as it considers the frequency of future non-binding advisory votes on the compensation of our named executive officers. We expect that the next stockholder vote on the frequency of future non-binding advisory votes on named executive officer compensation will occur at our 2026 annual meeting of stockholders.

VOTE REQUIRED; RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD

The proxy card provides four choices: a one, two or three year frequency or stockholders may abstain from voting on the proposal. The option that receives the majority of votes of the holders of shares of common stock represented virtually or by proxy at the 2020 Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon will be deemed to be the frequency preferred by our stockholders.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS YOU VOTE FOR A FREQUENCY OF “ONE YEAR” ON THE NON-BINDING ADVISORY PROPOSAL REGARDING THE FREQUENCY OF FUTURE ADVISORY VOTES ON THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS.

HOUSEHOLDING

SEC rules permit a single set of annual reports and proxy statements to be sent to any household at which two or more stockholders reside if they appear to be members of the same family. Each stockholder continues to receive a separate proxy card. This procedure is referred to as “householding,” and we have adopted this procedure. Under this procedure, we deliver a single copy of the Notice and, if applicable, our proxy materials to multiple stockholders who share the same address, unless we have received contrary instructions from one or more of such stockholders. This procedure reduces our printing costs, mailing costs and fees. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to be able to access and receive separate proxy cards. Upon written or oral request, we will deliver promptly a separate copy of the Notice and, if applicable, our proxy materials to any stockholder at a shared address to which we delivered a single copy of any of these materials. To receive a separate copy, or, if a stockholder is receiving multiple copies, to request that we only send a single copy of the Notice and, if applicable, our proxy materials, such stockholder may contact us at:
