Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Employment Agreement

 

On June 15, 2005, Hock E. Tan entered into an employment agreement with Integrated Device Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“IDT”) to act as chairman of the IDT board of directors (the “Employment Agreement”), which agreement became effective on September 16, 2005 following the completion of the Merger described in Item 2.01 below.

 

Mr. Tan will serve as chairman of the IDT board of directors for the two-year term of the Employment Agreement. Mr. Tan will also serve as an executive officer of IDT. During the first year of Mr. Tan’s employment, his primary responsibility will be to manage the transition and integration of the business and operations of Integrated Circuit Systems, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“ICS”) with the business and operations of IDT.

 

Mr. Tan’s base salary pursuant to the Employment Agreement is $325,000 per year. In addition, Mr. Tan is eligible to earn an annual bonus with a target of 75% of his base salary based upon his achievement of certain individual, unit and corporation-wide performance targets pursuant to IDT’s Incentive Compensation Plan. Mr. Tan will also receive an option to purchase 200,000 shares of IDT common stock, in addition to the two replacement grants of options to purchase IDT common stock which will be granted in replacement of the options to purchase ICS common stock that Mr. Tan held prior to the completion of the Merger, as described in Item 2.01 below. 50% of Mr. Tan’s option to purchase 200,000 shares of IDT common stock will vest, contingent on Mr. Tan’s continued service with IDT, on the first anniversary of the commencement of Mr. Tan’s employment with IDT, and the remaining 50% of Mr. Tan’s option to purchase 200,000 shares of IDT common stock will vest, contingent on Mr. Tan’s continued service with IDT, on the second anniversary of the commencement of Mr. Tan’s employment with IDT.

 

Mr. Tan’s employment may be terminated without Cause by IDT, provided such termination is approved by no less than 75% of the members of the Board or by Mr. Tan for Good Reason (as such capitalized terms are defined in the Employment Agreement). In the event of such a termination without Cause, or resignation for good reason, IDT is required, upon Mr. Tan’s signing and not revoking a release of all claims against IDT, to make severance payments to Mr. Tan in the amount of 100% of his base salary, continue to pay health benefit premiums for Mr. Tan and his family for a maximum of twelve months and provide twelve months of accelerated vesting of his outstanding stock options.

 

The above summary is qualified in its entirety by the Employment Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to IDT’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-126831) filed on July 22, 2005, and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Outside Director Compensation For Directors Appointed September 16, 2005

 

During fiscal year 2006, members of the IDT board of directors who are not also officers or employees of IDT will be paid an annual retainer in the amount of $25,000 per fiscal year, $2,500 per quarterly board meeting attended and $1,000 per additional board meeting attended (excluding telephone meetings). Audit Committee members will receive $1,000 per committee meeting attended (excluding telephone meetings), the Chair of the Audit Committee will receive an annual retainer of $5,000 per fiscal year and other Audit Committee members will receive an annual retainer of $2,500 per fiscal year. Other committee members will receive $500 per committee meeting attended (excluding telephone meetings) if not conducted on the same day as a board meeting. As described in Item 5.03 below, on September 16, 2005, Lewis C. Eggebrecht, John Howard, Hock E. Tan and Nam P. Suh, Ph.D. were appointed to fill vacancies on the IDT board of directors. Messrs. Eggebrecht and Howard and Dr. Suh will receive the appropriate compensation described above. Mr. Tan has been appointed as an executive officer of IDT and, thus, is not eligible to receive the compensation described above, but is eligible to receive the compensation set forth in his Employment Agreement.

 

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

On September 16, 2005, IDT completed its merger (the “Merger”) with ICS, pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated June 15, 2005 (the “Merger Agreement”), among IDT, Colonial Merger Sub I, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of IDT (“Merger Sub”), and ICS. In connection with the completion of the Merger, ICS merged with and into Merger Sub with Merger Sub surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of IDT.

 

In connection with the Merger, each former ICS shareholder will receive 1.3 shares of IDT common stock and $7.25 in cash (the “Merger Consideration”). In addition, in connection with the Merger, each outstanding option to purchase ICS common stock granted under the ICS 1999 Stock Option Plan, the ICS 2000 Long-Term Equity Incentive Plan and the ICS 2002 Employees’ Equity Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Plans”) was cancelled. Former holders of outstanding options to purchase ICS common stock granted under the Plans, whether or not vested or exercisable and with an exercise price per share less than $21.62, will receive cash equal to the excess of $21.62 over the exercise price of such options.

 

Promptly following the consummation of the Merger, IDT will also make two replacement grants of options to purchase IDT common stock to each former holder of options to purchase ICS common stock who continues to be employed by IDT or any of its


subsidiaries following the completion of the Merger. The first replacement grant of options will be granted under IDT’s 2004 Equity Plan (the “2004 Plan”) for the same number of shares of IDT common stock, will be vested to the same extent and vest according to the same vesting schedule as such former ICS option holder’s replaced options to purchase ICS common stock and will have a term equal to that provided in IDT’s standard form of stock option agreement under the 2004 Plan (the “2004 Plan Option Agreement”), which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The second replacement grant of options will be granted under the 2004 Plan for a number of shares of IDT common stock determined by multiplying (a) the number of shares subject to the first replacement grant of IDT stock options by (b) the quotient of (i) $21.62 and (ii) $11.05, and subtracting (c) the number of shares subject to the first replacement grant of options to purchase IDT common stock. The second replacement grant of IDT stock options will vest according to the same vesting schedule and have a term equal to that provided in IDT’s 2004 Plan Option Agreement. The exercise price for both replacement option grants will be equal to the fair market value of IDT common stock on the date of grant.

 

The Merger Consideration for ICS shareholders was determined through arms-length negotiation between IDT and ICS. Prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement, neither IDT nor any of its affiliates, nor any director or officer of IDT or any associate of any such director or officer, had any material relationship with ICS.

 

ICS designs, develops, and markets silicon timing devices for communications, networking, computing and digital multimedia applications.

 

IDT currently intends to continue to use the tangible assets of ICS substantially in the same manner in which they were used by ICS immediately prior to the Merger.

 

The summary of the Merger Agreement and the Merger contained in this Current Report does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to IDT’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 20, 2005, and is incorporated herein by reference.


Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.

 

Appointment of Directors; Resignation of Directors

 

In connection with the completion of the Merger, on September 16, 2005 the size of the IDT board of directors was increased to nine members and Dave Roberson resigned his position as a member of the IDT board of directors, effective upon completion of the Merger. In addition, on September 16, 2005, in order to satisfy certain requirements of the Merger Agreement, the IDT board of directors appointed John Schofield a Class II director of IDT with a term expiring in 2007. Prior to such appointment, Mr. Schofield served as a Class III director of IDT with a term expiring in 2008. On September 16, 2005, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the IDT board of directors appointed Lewis C. Eggebrecht, John Howard, Hock E. Tan and Nam P. Suh, Ph.D. to fill the vacancies on the IDT board of directors, effective upon completion of the Merger. Each of Messrs Eggebrecht, Howard and Tan and Dr. Suh are former directors of ICS.

 

On September 16, 2005, pursuant to the Merger Agreement and effective as of the completion of the Merger, Mr. Howard and Dr. Suh were appointed as Class I directors of IDT with terms expiring in 2006, Mr. Eggebrecht was appointed as a Class III director of IDT with a term expiring in 2008, and Mr. Tan was appointed as a Class II director and chairman of the IDT board of directors with a term expiring in 2007.

 

In connection with the completion of the Merger, the following board committee appointments were also made on September 16, 2005: Dr. Suh was named to the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee and Mr. Howard was named to the Nominating Committee and the Governance Committee.

 

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Messrs. Eggebrecht, Howard and Tan and Dr. Suh will each receive (a) Merger Consideration upon exchange of any shares of ICS common stock such directors hold, (b) replacement options for any options to purchase ICS common stock such directors held prior to the completion of the Merger and (c) the excess amount, if any, of $21.62 over the exercise price of any options to purchase ICS common stock such directors hold, whether or not such options are vested or exercisable, which is referred to herein as the “spread value” of such options. Mr. Eggebrecht will beneficially receive an aggregate of $751,980.49 and 134,837 shares of IDT common stock as Merger Consideration, 62,609 options to purchase IDT common stock in replacement of cancelled options to purchase ICS common stock and will not receive any spread value in connection with cancelled options to purchase ICS common stock. Mr. Howard will beneficially receive an aggregate of $546,660.49 and 98,021 shares of IDT common stock as Merger Consideration, 31,305 options to purchase IDT common stock in replacement of cancelled options to purchase ICS common stock and will not receive any spread value in connection with cancelled options to purchase ICS common stock. Dr. Suh will beneficially receive 46,957 options to purchase IDT common stock in replacement of cancelled options to purchase ICS common stock, but will not receive any cash or shares of IDT common stock as Merger Consideration and will not receive any spread value in connection with cancelled options to purchase ICS common stock. Mr. Tan will beneficially receive 1,094,123 options to purchase IDT common stock in replacement of cancelled options to purchase ICS common stock and $2,308,004.47 representing the spread value of cancelled options to purchase ICS common stock, but will not receive any cash or shares of IDT common stock as Merger Consideration.

 

In addition, IDT has entered into its standard form of indemnification agreement with each of Messrs. Eggebrecht, Howard and Tan and Dr. Suh, which agreements provide, among other things, that IDT will indemnify such directors, under the circumstances and to the extent provided for therein, for expenses, judgments, fines and settlements such directors may be required to pay in actions or proceedings which they are or may be made a party by reason of their position as a director of IDT, and otherwise to the full extent permitted under Delaware law and the amended and restated bylaws of IDT. The above summary is qualified in its entirety by IDT’s form of indemnification agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated herein by reference.


In addition, the total number of shares of IDT common stock outstanding has increased following the Merger and it is anticipated that an increase of the trading volume of IDT common stock may occur following the Merger, which may facilitate the sale of an increased number of shares of IDT common stock by existing IDT directors, as well as Messrs. Eggebrecht, Howard and Tan and Dr. Suh in the future.

 

In addition, each of Messrs. Eggebrecht, Howard and Tan and Dr. Suh will be eligible to receive the compensation described in Item 1.01 above, which amounts will be in addition to any entitlements described in Item 2.01 above.

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, IDT has also agreed to cause to be maintained for a period of six years after the Merger charter and bylaw provisions with respect to indemnification and advancement of expenses that are at least as favorable to the intended beneficiaries, including all past ICS directors and officers, as those contained in the charter and bylaws of ICS in effect on the date the Merger Agreement was signed. For six years following the effective time of the merger, IDT will maintain for the benefit of those individuals who were directors and officers of ICS prior to the effective time of the Merger an insurance policy that provides coverage for acts or omissions occurring prior to the effective time of the Merger, covering those persons who are covered by ICS’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, on terms no less favorable to such persons than the terms of such current insurance coverage. Each of Messrs. Eggebrecht, Howard and Tan and Dr. Suh will benefit from the above provisions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

 

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

In connection with the completion of the Merger, the bylaws of IDT were amended and restated effective as of September 16, 2005. IDT’s bylaws were amended and restated to provide that: (a) until 2007, the board of directors will include at least five directors designated by IDT and at least four directors designated by ICS, until 2008, the board of directors will include at least four directors designated by IDT and at least three directors designated by ICS, until 2009 the board of directors will include at least three directors designated by IDT and at least two directors designated by ICS and until 2010, the board of directors will include at least two directors designated by IDT; (b) the IDT board of directors will consist of nine members; (c) the chairman of the IDT board of directors as of the effective time of the Merger will be Hock E. Tan, the former President and Chief Executive Officer of ICS; (d) if any of the directors designated by IDT or ICS pursuant to the Merger Agreement ceases to serve as a director of IDT during the period noted in subpart (a) when a specified number of IDT-designated or ICS-designated directors is to serve, thereby resulting in that specified number of directors no longer serving, the remaining IDT-designated directors or ICS-designated directors, as appropriate, shall select a replacement director to fill such vacancy; (e) during all times when ICS is entitled to designate directors to sit on the board of directors of IDT, at least one ICS designated director will serve on each committee of the board of directors of IDT, provided that the IDT board of directors determines that such ICS designated director is “independent” under applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the Nasdaq National Market; and (f) during all times when IDT or ICS is entitled to designate directors to sit on the board of directors of IDT, any increase in the size of the board of directors will require the consent of at least a majority of those IDT designated directors or ICS designated directors, as applicable, currently serving on the IDT board of directors.

 

The summary of changes to IDT’s bylaws set forth above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the amended and restated bylaws of IDT, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated herein by reference.

ARTICLE I

STOCKHOLDERS

 

Section 1.1 Annual Meetings. An annual meeting of stockholders shall be held for the election of directors at such date, time and place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as the Board of Directors shall each year fix. Any other proper business may be transacted at the annual meeting.

 

Section 1.2 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders, for any purpose or purposes described in the notice of the meeting, may be called only by (i) the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the total number of authorized directors (whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships at the time any such resolution is presented to the Board of Directors for adoption), (ii) the Chairman of the Board, (iii) the Chief Executive Officer or (iv) the President. Special meetings may not be called by any other person or persons. If a special meeting of stockholders is called by any person or persons other than by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors, then such person or persons shall call such meeting by delivering a written request to call such meeting to each member of the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors shall then determine the time, date and place of such special meeting, which shall be held not more than one hundred twenty (120) nor less than thirty-five (35) days after the written request to call such special meeting was delivered to each member of the Board of Directors. Business transacted at special meetings shall be confined to the purpose or purposes stated in the Corporation’s notice of such meeting.

 

Section 1.3 Notice of Meetings. Written notice of all meetings of stockholders shall be given stating the place, date and time of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Unless otherwise required by applicable law or the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation as currently in effect (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), such notice shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting, by leaving such notice with him or her or at his or her residence or usual place of business, or by depositing it postage prepaid in the United States mail, directed to each stockholder at his or her address as it appears on the records of the corporation. An affidavit of the Secretary, Assistant Secretary, or transfer agent of the corporation that the notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. No notice need be given to any person with whom communication is unlawful or to any person who has waived such notice either (a) in writing (which writing need not specify the business to be transacted at, or the purpose of, the meeting) signed by such person before or after the time of the meeting or (b) by attending the meeting except for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

 

- 1 -


Section 1.4 Adjournments. Any meeting of stockholders may adjourn from time to time to reconvene at the same or another place, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the time, date and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken; provided, however, that if the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, then a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. At the adjourned meeting the Corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting.

 

Section 1.5 Quorum. At each meeting of stockholders the holders of a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, except if otherwise required by the Certificate of Incorporation or applicable law. Where a separate vote by a class or classes is required, a majority of the shares of such class or classes then outstanding and entitled to vote present in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter. If a quorum shall fail to attend any meeting, the chairman of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote who are present, in person or by proxy, at the meeting may adjourn the meeting. Shares of the Corporation’s stock belonging to the Corporation (or to another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other corporation are held, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation), shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the Corporation or any other corporation to vote any shares of the Corporation’s stock held by it in a fiduciary capacity.

 

Section 1.6 Organization. Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by such person as the Board of Directors may designate, or, in the absence of such a person, the Chairman of the Board, or, in the absence of such person, the President of the Corporation, or, in the absence of such person, such person as may be chosen by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote who are present, in person or by proxy, at the meeting. Such person shall be chairman of the meeting and, subject to Section 1.11 hereof, shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of discussion as seems to him or her to be in order. The Secretary of the Corporation shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in his or her absence the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

 

Section 1.7 Voting; Proxies. Unless otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, and subject to the provisions of Section 1.8 of these Bylaws, each stockholder shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each share of stock held by such stockholder of record according to the records of the corporation. Persons holding stock in a fiduciary capacity shall be entitled to vote the shares so held. Persons whose stock is pledged shall be entitled to vote unless the pledgor in a transfer on the books of the corporation has expressly empowered the pledgee to vote the pledged shares, in which case only the pledgee or his or her proxy shall be entitled to vote. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy. Such a proxy may be prepared, transmitted and delivered in any manner permitted by applicable law. Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot unless such is demanded at the meeting before voting begins by a stockholder or stockholders holding shares representing at least one percent (1%) of

 

- 2 -


the votes entitled to vote at such meeting, or by such stockholder’s or stockholders’ proxy; provided, however, that an election of directors shall be by written ballot if demand is so made by any stockholder at the meeting before voting begins. If a vote is to be taken by written ballot, then each such ballot shall state the name of the stockholder or proxy voting and such other information as the chairman of the meeting deems appropriate.

 

Section 1.8 Action at Meeting.

 

(a) Generally. When a quorum is present at any meeting, action of the stockholders on any matter properly brought before such meeting, other than the election of directors, shall require, and may be effected by, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in interest of the stock present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the subject matter, except where a different vote is expressly required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, in which case such express provision shall govern and control. The election of directors shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast. If the Certificate of Incorporation so provides, no ballot shall be required for the election of directors unless requested by a stockholder present or represented at the meeting and entitled to vote in the election.

 

(b) Cumulative Voting. At a meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected, each stockholder shall be entitled to cumulate votes for a candidate if the candidate’s name has been properly placed in nomination in accordance with these Bylaws and the stockholder requesting cumulative voting has given notice prior to the commencement of the voting of the stockholder’s intention to cumulate votes. If cumulative voting is properly requested, each holder of stock, or of any class or classes or of a series or series thereof, who elects to cumulate votes shall be entitled to as many votes as shall equal the number of votes which (except for this provision as to cumulative voting) such stockholder would be entitled to cast for the election of directors with respect to such stockholder’s shares of stock multiplied by the number of directors to be elected, and such stockholder may cast all of such votes for a single candidate or may distribute them among the number to be elected, or for any two or more of them as such stockholder may see fit.

 

Section 1.9 Fixing Date for Determination of Stockholders of Record.

 

(a) Generally. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors and which shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, then the record date shall be as provided by applicable law. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

 

- 3 -


(b) Stockholder Request for Action by Written Consent. Any stockholder of record seeking to have the stockholders authorize or take corporate action by written consent without a meeting shall, by written notice to the Secretary of the Corporation, request the Board of Directors to fix a record date for such consent. Such request shall include a brief description of the action proposed to be taken. The Board of Directors shall, within ten (10) days after the date on which such a request is received, adopt a resolution fixing the record date. Such record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and shall not be more than ten (10) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors within ten (10) days after the date on which such a request is received, then the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is required by applicable law, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, to its principal place of business, or to any officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the Corporation’s registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors and prior action by the Board of Directors is required by applicable law, then the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the date on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

A complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders, arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder, shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held.

In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots, the inspectors shall be limited to an examination of the proxies, any envelopes submitted with those proxies, any information provided in connection with proxies in accordance with Section 212(c)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, ballots and the regular books and records of the Corporation, except that the inspectors may consider other reliable information for the limited purpose of reconciling proxies and ballots submitted by or on behalf of banks, brokers, their nominees or similar persons which represent more votes than the holder of a proxy is authorized by the record owner to cast or more votes than the stockholder holds of record. If the inspectors consider other reliable information for the limited purpose permitted herein, the inspectors at the time they make their certification of their determinations pursuant to this Section 1.11 shall specify the precise information considered by them, including the person or persons from whom they obtained the information, when the information was obtained, the means by which the information was obtained and the basis for the inspectors’ belief that such information is accurate and reliable.

INDEMNIFICATION

 

Section 6.1 Indemnification of Officers and Directors. Each person who was or is made a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she (or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative), is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or a Reincorporated Predecessor (as defined below) or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation or a Reincorporated Predecessor (as defined below) as a director, officer or employee of another corporation, or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, against all expenses, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith, and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnity in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. As used herein, the term “Reincorporated Predecessor” means a corporation that is merged with and into the Corporation in a statutory merger where (a) the Corporation is the surviving corporation of such merger; (b) the primary purpose of such merger is to change the corporate domicile of the Reincorporated Predecessor to Delaware.

 

Section 6.2 Advance of Expenses. The Corporation shall pay all expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by such a director or officer in defending any such proceeding as they are incurred in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that if the Delaware General Corporation Law then so requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by such a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it should be determined ultimately that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article VI or otherwise; and provided, further, that the

 

- 15 -


Corporation shall not be required to advance any expenses to a person against whom the Corporation directly brings a claim, in a proceeding, alleging that such person has breached his or her duty of loyalty to the Corporation, committed an act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, or derived an improper personal benefit from a transaction.

 

Section 6.3 Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any person in this Article VI shall not be exclusive of any other right that such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaw, agreement, vote or consent of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. Additionally, nothing in this Article VI shall limit the ability of the Corporation, in its discretion, to indemnify or advance expenses to persons whom the Corporation is not obligated to indemnify or advance expenses pursuant to this Article VI. The Board of Directors of the Corporation shall have the power to delegate to such officer or other person as the Board of Directors shall specify the determination of whether indemnification shall be given to any person pursuant to this Section 6.3.

 

Section 6.4 Indemnification Contracts. The Board of Directors is authorized to cause the Corporation to enter into indemnification contracts with any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or any person serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including employee benefit plans, providing indemnification rights to such person. Such rights may be greater than those provided in this Article VI.

EX-10.3 4 dex103.htm FORM OF INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT. Form of Indemnification Agreement.

Exhibit 10.3

 

INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

 

This Indemnification Agreement (“Agreement”) is made as of this              day of                      2005, by and between INTEGRATED DEVICE TECHNOLOGY, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and              (“Indemnitee”).

 

WHEREAS, the Company and Indemnitee recognize the increasing difficulty in obtaining directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, the significant increases in the cost of such insurance, and the general reductions in the coverage of such insurance;

 

WHEREAS, the Company and Indemnitee further recognize the substantial increase in corporate litigation in general, subjecting officers and directors to expensive litigation risks at the same time as the availability and coverage of liability insurance has been severely limited;

 

WHEREAS, Indemnitee does not regard the current protection available as adequate under the present circumstances, and Indemnitee and other officers and directors of the Company may not be willing to continue to serve as officers and directors without additional protection;

 

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has determined that the difficulty of attracting and retaining highly competent persons to serve the Company is detrimental to the best interest of the Company and its stockholders and that the Company should act to assure such persons that there will be an increased certainty of financial protection for them in the future;

 

WHEREAS, Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve and/or take on additional service for, or on behalf of, the Company on the condition that Indemnitee be so indemnified and that such indemnification be guaranteed; and

 

WHEREAS, the Company desires to attract and retain the services of highly qualified individuals, such as Indemnitee, to serve as officers and directors of the Company and to indemnify its officers and directors, such action being reasonable, prudent and necessary, so as to provide them with the maximum protection permitted by law.

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the Indemnitee’s service as an officer or director of the Company, the Company and Indemnitee hereby agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE 1

INDEMNIFICATION

 

Section 1.1. Third Party Proceedings. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee if Indemnitee is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to, or otherwise becomes involved in, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, formal or informal (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of any action or inaction on the part of Indemnitee by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company, or any


subsidiary of the Company, or, while a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company, that Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, agent, or trustee of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise (collectively “Agent”), against expenses (including attorneys’ fees, court costs, and the cost of appeal, attachment, and similar bonds), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement (if such settlement is approved in advance by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe Indemnitee’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

 

Section 1.2. Proceedings By or in the Right of the Company. The Company shall indemnify Indemnitee if Indemnitee was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to, or otherwise becomes involved in, any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that Indemnitee is or was an Agent against expenses (including attorneys’ fees, court costs, and the cost of appeal, attachment, and similar bonds) and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, amounts paid in settlement, in each case to the extent actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which Indemnitee shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability, but in view of all of the relevant circumstances of the case, Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or such other court shall deem proper.

 

Section 1.3. Mandatory Payment of Expenses. To the extent that Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in Sections 1.1 and 1.2 or the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, Indemnitee shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in connection therewith. Dismissal without prejudice of any action, claim, issue or matter shall entitle Indemnitee to be indemnified for expenses incurred in defending such action, claim, issue, or matter. For purposes of this Section 1.3 and without limitation, the termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself create a presumption (i) that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, or (ii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.


ARTICLE 2

EXPENSES; INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURE

 

Section 2.1. Advancement of Expenses. The Company shall advance all expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement, or appeal of any civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding referenced in Section 1.1 or 1.2 (but not amounts actually paid in settlement of any such action, suit, or proceeding). Indemnitee hereby undertakes to repay such amounts advanced only if, and to the extent that, it shall ultimately be determined that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized hereby. The advances to be made hereunder shall be paid by the Company to Indemnitee within forty-five (45) days following receipt of a written request therefor by Indemnitee to the Company. Indemnitee shall submit with each request for advancement of expenses such statement or statements which shall reasonably evidence or document the expenses incurred by Indemnitee.

 

Section 2.2. Notice. Indemnitee shall, as a condition precedent to his right to be indemnified under this Agreement, give the Company notice in writing as soon as practicable of any claim made against Indemnitee for which indemnification will or could be sought under this Agreement. Notice to the Company shall be directed to the President of the Company at the address shown on the signature page of this Agreement (or such other address as the Company shall designate in writing to Indemnitee). Notice shall be deemed duly given (i) if delivered by hand and receipted for by the party addressee, on the date of such receipt, or (ii) if mailed by domestic certified or express mail with postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date postmarked.

 

Section 2.3. Procedure.

 

2.3.1. Any indemnification and advances provided for in Article 1 and Section 2.1 shall be made no later than forty-five (45) days following receipt of a written request thereof by Indemnitee to the Company unless a determination is made within said forty-five (45) day period by (i) the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to such proceeding (“Disinterested Directors”); (ii) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of Disinterested Directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (iii) by the Company’s stockholders, that the Indemnitee has not met the relevant standards for indemnification set forth in Section 1.1 or Section 1.2 hereof, as the case may be. Indemnitee may contest a determination that Indemnitee has not met the relevant standard of conduct for indemnification by petitioning a court to make an independent determination respecting the right of indemnification in accordance with the terms of Subsection 2.3.2 hereof.

 

2.3.2. If a claim under this Agreement, under any statute, or under any provision of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws providing for indemnification, is not paid in full by the Company within forty-five (45) days after a written request for payment


thereof has first been received by the Company, Indemnitee may, but need not, at any time thereafter, bring an action against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, subject to Section 10.3 of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall also be entitled to be paid for the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of bringing such action. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in connection with any action, suit, or proceeding in advance of its final disposition) that Indemnitee has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under applicable law for the Company to indemnify Indemnitee for the amount claimed, and Indemnitee shall be entitled to receive interim payments of expenses pursuant to Section 2.1 unless and until such defense may be finally adjudicated by court order or judgment from which no further right of appeal exists. It is the parties’ intention that if the Company contests Indemnitee’s right to indemnification, the question of Indemnitee’s right to indemnification shall be for the court to decide, and neither the failure of the Company (including its Board of Directors, any committee or subgroup of the Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct required by applicable law, nor an actual determination by the Company (including its Board of Directors, any committee or subgroup of the Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that Indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that Indemnitee has or has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

 

Section 2.4. Notice to Insurers. If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a claim pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof, the Company has director and officer liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies.

 

Section 2.5. Selection of Counsel. In the event the Company shall be obligated under Section 2.1 hereof to pay the expenses of any proceeding against Indemnitee, the Company, if appropriate, shall be entitled to assume the defense of such proceeding, with counsel approved by Indemnitee, upon the delivery to Indemnitee of written notice of its election to do so. After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by Indemnitee, and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees of counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the same proceeding, provided that (i) Indemnitee shall have the right to employ his counsel in any such proceeding at Indemnitee’s expense; and (ii) if (A) the employment of counsel by Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the Company, (B) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense, or (C) the Company shall not, in fact, have employed counsel to assume the defense of such proceeding, then the fees and expenses of Indemnitee’s counsel shall be at the expense of the Company.


ARTICLE 3

ADDITIONAL INDEMNIFICATION

RIGHTS; NONEXCLUSIVITY

 

Section 3.1. Scope. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify the Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law, notwithstanding that such indemnification is not specifically authorized by the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, the Company’s Bylaws, or by statute. In the event of any change, after the date of this Agreement, in any applicable law, statute, or rule which expands the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify a member of its board of directors or an officer, such changes shall be, ipso facto, within the purview of Indemnitee’s rights and Company’s obligations, under this Agreement.

 

Section 3.2. Nonexclusivity. The indemnification provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any rights to which Indemnitee may be entitled under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, its Bylaws, any agreement, any vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or otherwise, both as to action in Indemnitee’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. The indemnification provided under this Agreement shall continue as to Indemnitee for any action taken or not taken while serving in an indemnified capacity even though he may have ceased to serve in such capacity at the time of any action, suit, or other covered proceeding.

 

ARTICLE 4

PARTIAL INDEMNIFICATION

 

If Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification by the Company for some or a portion of the expenses, judgments, fines, or penalties actually or reasonably incurred by him in the investigation, defense, appeal, or settlement of any civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee for the portion of such expenses, judgments, fines, or penalties to which Indemnitee is entitled.

 

ARTICLE 5

MUTUAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT

 

Both the Company and Indemnitee acknowledge that in certain instances, Federal law or applicable public policy may prohibit the Company from indemnifying its directors and officers under this Agreement or otherwise. Indemnitee understands and acknowledges that the Company has undertaken or may be required in the future to undertake with the Securities and Exchange Commission to submit the question of indemnification to a court in certain circumstances for a determination of the Company’s right under public policy to indemnify Indemnitee.


ARTICLE 6

OFFICER AND DIRECTOR

LIABILITY INSURANCE

 

The Company shall, from time to time, make the good faith determination whether or not it is practicable for the Company to obtain and maintain a policy or policies of insurance with reputable insurance companies providing the officers and directors of the Company with coverage for losses from wrongful acts, or to ensure the Company’s performance of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement. Among other considerations, the Company will weigh the costs of obtaining such insurance coverage against the protection afforded by such coverage. In all policies of director and officer liability insurance, Indemnitee shall be named as an insured in such a manner as to provide Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are accorded to the most favorably insured of the Company’s directors, if Indemnitee is a director; or of the Company’s officers, if Indemnitee is not a director of the Company but is an officer; or of the Company’s key employees, if Indemnitee is not an officer or director but is a key employee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to obtain or maintain such insurance if the Company determines in good faith that such insurance is not reasonably available, if the premium costs for such insurance are disproportionate to the amount of coverage provided, if the coverage provided by such insurance is limited by exclusions so as to provide an insufficient benefit, or if Indemnitee is covered by similar insurance maintained by a subsidiary or parent of the Company.

 

ARTICLE 7

SEVERABILITY

 

Nothing in this Agreement is intended to require or shall be construed as requiring the Company to do or fail to do any act in violation of applicable law. The Company’s inability, pursuant to court order, to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable as provided in this Article 7. If this Agreement or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify Indemnitee to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Agreement that shall not have been invalidated, and the balance of this Agreement not so invalidated shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

 

ARTICLE 8

EXCEPTIONS

 

Any other provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement:

 

(a) Claims Initiated by Indemnitee. To indemnify or advance expenses to Indemnitee with respect to proceedings or claims initiated or brought voluntarily by Indemnitee and not by way of defense, except with respect to proceedings brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification under this Agreement or any other statute or law or otherwise as required under


Section 145(c) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (which Section provides mandatory indemnification to the extent that a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of certain actions, suits, or proceedings, or in defense of any claim, actions, suits, or proceedings, or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein), but such indemnification or advancement of expenses may be provided by the Company in specific cases if the Board of Directors has approved the initiation or bringing of such suit; or

 

(b) Lack of Good Faith. To indemnify Indemnitee for any expenses incurred by the Indemnitee with respect to any proceeding initiated by Indemnitee to enforce or interpret this Agreement, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that each of the material assertions made by the Indemnitee in such proceeding was not made in good faith or was frivolous; or

 

(c) Insured Claims. To indemnify Indemnitee for expenses or liabilities of any type whatsoever (including, but not limited to, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) which have been paid directly to Indemnitee by an insurance carrier under a policy of officers’ and directors’ liability insurance maintained by the Company.

 

(d) Claims Under Section 16(b). To indemnify Indemnitee for expenses and the payment of profits arising from the purchase and sale by Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any similar successor statute.

 

ARTICLE 9

CONSTRUCTION OF CERTAIN PHRASES

 

Section 9.1. The Company. For purposes of this Agreement, references to the “Company” shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents, so that if Indemnitee is or was an Agent of the Company or such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, Indemnitee shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as Indemnitee would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued.

 

Section 9.2 Employee Benefit Plans. For purposes of this Agreement, reference to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Company” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee, or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries; and if Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Company” as referred to in this Agreement.
