Item 5.02          Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On May 31, 2007, the Compensation Committee, comprised of all of the independent directors, and the independent directors of the Board of Directors (“Board”) acting in executive session, of Quality Systems, Inc. (the “Company”), approved a compensation program for the Company’s key personnel, including its named executive officers, for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2008. The compensation program includes new cash salary levels and both non-equity and equity incentive compensation components and is described in Exhibit 10.1 hereto, which exhibit is incorporated herein by reference.

 

In addition, on May 31, 2007, the Board approved standard forms of nonqualified and incentive stock option agreements for use under the Company’s 2005 Stock Incentive Plan. Copies of such forms are filed as Exhibits 10.2 and 10.3 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.03

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

On May 31, 2007, the Board amended the Corporate Governance Provisions set forth in Exhibit A to the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws to revise the definition of “independent director” so that it conforms to the recently revised independence standard contained in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15)(B), and to provide that the Audit Committee, rather than the Transaction Committee, has responsibility for reviewing all related-party transactions involving the Company. A copy of the bylaw amendment is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 3.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01

Other Events.

Quarterly Dividend Policy

In January 2007, the Board adopted a policy whereby the Company stated its intention to pay a regular quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share on its outstanding common stock commencing with conclusion of the Company’s first fiscal quarter of 2008 (June 30, 2007) and continuing each fiscal quarter thereafter, subject to further Board review, approval and establishment of record and distribution dates by the Board prior to the declaration and payment of each such quarterly dividend. Pursuant to this policy, on May 31, 2007, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per share on the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock, payable to shareholders of record as of June 15, 2007 with an anticipated distribution date of July 5, 2007. The Company anticipates that future quarterly dividends, if and when declared by the Board pursuant to this policy, would likely be distributable on or about the fifth day of each of the months of October, January, April and July.

Annual Shareholders’ Meeting

The Company is preparing to hold its 2007 annual meeting of shareholders on August 8, 2007. All holders of record of the Company’s common stock outstanding as of the close of business on June 29, 2007 will be entitled to vote at the annual meeting. Because the date of this

year’s annual meeting has been changed by more than 30 days from the date of last year’s annual meeting, the Company desires to inform its shareholders of the revised deadlines for shareholder proposals to be discussed and voted upon at the 2007 annual meeting.

Proposals by shareholders that are intended for inclusion in our proxy statement and proxy and to be presented at our 2007 annual meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Securities and Exchange Commission must be received by us by June 14, 2007, in order to be considered for inclusion in our proxy materials. Such proposals should be addressed to our Secretary and may be included in next year’s proxy materials if they comply with certain rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission governing shareholder proposals.

For all other proposals by shareholders (including nominees for director) to be timely, a shareholders’ notice must be delivered to, or mailed and received at, our principal executive offices not later than the close of business on June 14, 2007. The shareholder notice must also comply with certain other requirements set forth in our Bylaws, a copy of which may be obtained by written request delivered to our Secretary.

A copy of the Company’s press release announcing the dividend and annual meeting date is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Exhibit 3.1

EXHIBIT A

Quality Systems, Inc.

 

Corporate Governance Provisions

(as made part of Bylaws)

 

1.

At least a majority of the members of the board of directors (the “Board”) shall be independent directors as defined below.

An “independent director” means a person other than an executive officer or employee of the Company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The following persons shall not be considered independent:

 

(a)

a director who is, or at any time during the past three years was, employed by the Company;

 

 

(b)

a director who accepted or who has a family member who accepted any compensation from the Company in excess of $100,000 during any period of twelve consecutive months within the three years preceding the determination of independence, other than the following:

(i) compensation for Board or Board committee service;

(ii) compensation paid to a family member who is an employee (other than an executive officer) of the Company; or

(iii) benefits under a tax-qualified retirement plan, or non-discretionary compensation.

 

Provided, however, that in addition to the requirements contained in this paragraph (b), audit committee members are also subject to additional, more stringent requirements under Nasdaq Rule 4350(d).

 

 

(c)

a director who is a family member of an individual who is, or at any time during the past three years was, employed by the Company as an executive officer;

 

 

(d)

a director who is, or has a family member who is, a partner in, or a controlling shareholder or an executive officer of, any organization to which the Company made, or from which the Company received, payments for property or services in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenues for that year, or $200,000, whichever is more, other than the following:

(i) payments arising solely from investments in the Company’s securities; or

(ii) payments under non-discretionary charitable contribution matching programs.

 



 

(e)

a director of the Company who is, or has a family member who is, employed as an executive officer of another entity where at any time during the past three years any of the executive officers of the Company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or

 

(f)

a director who is, or has a family member who is, a current partner of the Company’s outside auditor, or was a partner or employee of the Company’s outside auditor who worked on the Company’s audit at any time during any of the past three years.

A “family member” for these purposes means a person’s spouse, parents, children and siblings, whether by blood, marriage or adoption, or anyone residing in such person’s home.

2.

There shall be an Audit Committee of the Board, composed entirely of independent directors, which shall oversee the Company’s financial reporting process and internal controls, review compliance with laws and accounting standards, recommend the appointment of public accountants, and provide a direct channel of communication to the Board for public accountants, internal auditors and finance officers. The Audit Committee shall be responsible for reviewing all related-party transactions involving the Company.

3.

There shall be a Nominating Committee of the Board, composed entirely of independent directors, which shall be responsible for the evaluation and nomination of Board members.

4.

There shall be a Compensation Committee of the Board, composed entirely of independent directors, which shall be responsible for (i) ensuring that senior management will be accountable to the Board through the effective application of compensation policies, and (ii) monitoring the effectiveness of both senior management and the Board (including committees thereof). The Compensation Committee shall establish compensation policies applicable to the Company’s executive officers. A fair summary of such policies and the relationship of corporate performance to executive compensation, including the factors and criteria upon which the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation was based, shall be disclosed to shareholders in the Company’s proxy statement for the annual meeting.

5.

There shall be a Transaction Committee of the Board, composed entirely of independent directors, which shall be responsible for considering and making recommendations to the full Board with respect to all proposals involving (i) a change in control, or (ii) the purchase or sale of assets constituting more than 10% of the Company’s total assets. Additionally, the Transaction Committee shall be responsible for reviewing all transactions or proposed transactions that trigger the Company’s Shareholder Rights Plan, if any.

6.

If at any time the Chairman of the Board shall be an executive officer of the Company, or for any other reason shall not be an independent director, a non-executive Lead Director

 

 

-2-

 

 



shall be selected by the independent directors. The Lead Director shall be one of the independent directors, shall be a member of the Audit Committee and of the Executive Committee, if there is such a committee, and shall be responsible for coordinating the activities of the independent directors. He shall assist the Board in assuring compliance with these corporate governance procedures and policies, and shall coordinate, develop the agenda for, and moderate executive sessions of the Board’s independent directors. Such executive sessions shall be held immediately following each regular meeting of the Board, and may be held at other times as designated by the Lead Director. The Lead Director shall approve, in consultation with the other Independent Directors, the retention of consultants who report directly to the Board. If at any time the Chairman of the Board is one of the independent directors, then he or she shall perform the duties of the Lead Director.

7.

The foregoing provisions are adopted as part of the Bylaws of the Company and cannot be amended or repealed without either (a) approval by the shareholders of the Company, or (b) approval by a two-thirds majority of all the authorized number of directors of the Company including two-thirds of the independent directors. Any inconsistent provisions of the Bylaws are hereby modified to be consistent with these provisions. The foregoing provisions, insofar as they establish eligibility to serve as a director or as a committee member, shall not have the effect of removing any director or committee member from office but shall be given effect at the next election of directors and the next selection of committee members, as the case may be. The foregoing provisions shall not be construed to limit or restrict the effective exercise of statutory cumulative voting rights by any shareholder, but the Nominating Committee shall not nominate candidates for election to the Board except as may be consistent with such provisions, and no corporate funds may be expended for the solicitation of proxies which are inconsistent with the foregoing provisions.

The Company desires, by affording the Optionee an opportunity to purchase shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value, in the Company (hereinafter called “Common Stock”), as hereinafter provided, to carry out the purpose of the Company’s 2005 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning given them under the Plan.

NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto have agreed, and do hereby agree, as follows:

1.

Grant of Option.

The Company hereby irrevocably grants to the Optionee the right and option (hereinafter called the “Option”) to purchase all or any part of an aggregate of _____________ shares (such number being subject to adjustment as provided in the Plan) on the terms and conditions herein set forth.

Except as provided in Section 5 hereof, the Option may not be exercised at any time unless the Optionee shall have been continuously, from the date hereof to the date of the exercise of the Option, an employee, director or consultant of the Company, its parent, if any, or of one or more of its subsidiaries or a corporation or a parent or subsidiary of a corporation issuing or assuming an option to which Section 424(a) of the Code applies.

4.

In the event that an Optionee’s Termination of Employment occurs at Optionee’s election for any reason other than by retirement (as described in Section 5(d) below) or at the Company’s election for Cause, the Option shall terminate immediately. In the event an Optionee’s Termination of Employment occurs at the election of the Company without Cause, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise it at the date of termination) but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date three (3) months after the Termination of Employment, or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth herein.

(b)          Disability of Optionee. In the event an Optionee’s Termination of Employment occurs as a result of the Optionee’s Disability, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise it at the date of termination), but only within

 

 

-2-

 

 



such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date six (6) months following such Termination of Employment, or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth herein. If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option as set forth in this Section 5(b), the Option shall terminate.

(c)          Death of Optionee.

If, after death, the Option is not exercised as set forth in this Section 5(c), the Option shall terminate.

(d)          Retirement of Optionee. In the event an Optionee’s Termination of Employment occurs as a result of Optionee’s retirement pursuant to a Company retirement plan, as contemplated by Section 2.5(c) of the Plan, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise it at the date of termination), but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date three (3) years following such Termination of Employment, or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth herein. If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option as set forth in this Section 5(d), the Option shall terminate.

6.

Change in Control.

In the event of a Change in Control, Section 3.7 of the Plan shall control the vesting, exercisability and termination of the Option.

7.

Method of Exercising Option.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Option may be exercised by written notice to the Company, at its administrative office in the State of California (attention: Chief Financial Officer), which presently is located at 18191 Von Karman Avenue, Suite 450, Irvine, California 92612. Such notice shall state the election to exercise the Option and the number of shares in respect of which it is being exercised and shall be signed by the person so exercising the Option. Such notice shall be accompanied by payment of the exercise price of such shares, and the Company shall deliver a certificate or certificates representing the shares subject to such exercise as soon as practicable after the notice shall be received. The certificate or certificates for the shares as to which the Option shall have been so exercised shall be registered in the name of the person or persons so exercising the Option and shall be delivered to or upon the written order of the person or persons exercising the Option. In the event the Option shall be exercised by any person or persons other than the Optionee in accordance with the terms hereof, such notice shall be accompanied by appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to exercise the Option. All shares that shall be purchased upon the exercise of the Option as provided herein shall be fully paid and non-assessable. The holder of the Option shall not be entitled to the privileges of share ownership as to any shares of Common Stock not actually issued and delivered to him.

8.

General.

(a)          The Company shall at all times during the term of the Option use reasonable efforts to reserve and keep available such number of shares of Common Stock as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of this Agreement, shall pay all original issue and transfer taxes with respect to the issue and transfer of shares pursuant hereto and all other fees and expenses necessarily incurred by the Company in connection therewith, and will from time to time use reasonable efforts to comply with all laws and regulations, which, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, shall be applicable thereto.

(b)          The granting of the Option hereunder shall not impose any obligation on the Company to continue using the services of the Optionee as an employee, director or consultant; nor shall it impose any obligation on the Optionee to exercise the Option.

(c)          This Agreement and the Plan contain the entire agreement of the parties, and supersede any and all other prior or contemporaneous agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties hereto, with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Plan shall govern any Option granted hereunder. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern.

(d)          This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California, without giving effect to principles of conflict of laws.

(e)          The Company may require, as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to sell and issue, and the Optionee’s right to purchase, shares of common stock of the Company on exercise of the Option, that the Optionee shall certify, in writing, that he or she is acquiring such shares for investment and not with a view or the intent to sell or redistribute such shares.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Agreement to be duly executed by its officers thereunto duly authorized, and the Optionee has hereunto set his or her hand, all as of the day and year first above written.

Except as provided in Section 5 hereof, the Option may not be exercised at any time unless the Optionee shall have been continuously, from the date hereof to the date of the exercise of the Option, an employee of the Company, its parent, if any, or of one or more of its subsidiaries or a corporation or a parent or subsidiary of a corporation issuing or assuming an option to which Section 424(a) of the Code applies.

In the event an Optionee’s Termination of Employment occurs at the election of the Company without Cause, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise it at the date of termination) but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date three (3) months after the Termination of Employment, or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth herein. If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option as set forth in this Section 5(a), the Option shall terminate.

(b)          Disability of Optionee. In the event an Optionee’s Termination of Employment occurs as a result of the Optionee’s Disability, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option (to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise it at the date of termination), but only within

such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date six (6) months following such Termination of Employment, or (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth herein. If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option as set forth in this Section 5(b), the Option shall terminate.

(c)          Death of Optionee.

If, after death, the Option is not exercised as set forth in this Section 5(c), the Option shall terminate.

If, after termination, the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option as set forth in this Section 5(d), the Option shall terminate.

7.

Change in Control.

In the event of a Change in Control, Section 3.7 of the Plan shall control the vesting, exercisability and termination of the Option.

8.

Method of Exercising Option.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Option may be exercised by written notice to the Company, at its administrative office in the State of California (attention: Chief Financial Officer), which presently is located at 18191 Von Karman Avenue, Suite 450, Irvine, California 92612. Such notice shall state the election to exercise the Option and the number of shares in respect of which it is being exercised and shall be signed by the person so exercising the Option. Such notice shall be accompanied by payment of the exercise price of such shares, and the Company shall deliver a certificate or certificates representing the shares subject to such exercise as soon as practicable after the notice shall be received. The certificate or certificates for the shares as to which the Option shall have been so exercised shall be registered in the name of the person or persons so exercising the Option and shall be delivered to or upon the written order of the person or persons exercising the Option. In the event the Option shall be exercised by any person or persons other than the Optionee in accordance with the terms hereof, such notice shall be accompanied by appropriate proof of the right of such person or persons to exercise the Option. All shares that shall be purchased upon the exercise of the Option as provided herein shall be fully paid and non-assessable. The holder of the Option shall not be entitled to the privileges of share ownership as to any shares of Common Stock not actually issued and delivered to him.

9.

Tax Information and Notice of Disqualifying Disposition.

The Option is intended to be eligible for treatment as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code. Whether the Option will receive that tax treatment will depend, in part, on the actions by the Optionee after exercise of the Option. For example, if the Optionee disposes of any of the Stock acquired under the Option within two years after the date of grant or within one year of the date of exercise of the Option, the Optionee may lose the benefits of Code Section 422. Accordingly, the Company makes no representations by way of the Plan, this Agreement, or otherwise, with respect to the actual tax consequences of the grant or exercise of the Option or the subsequent disposition of the shares acquired under the Option.

If the Optionee sells or makes a disposition (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code) of any of the shares acquired under the Option prior to the later of (i) one year from the date of exercise of the Option, or (ii) two years from the date of grant, the Optionee agrees to give written notice to the Company of the disposition within ten (10) days of the disposition. The notice shall include the Optionee’s name, the number, exercise price and exercise date of the shares of Stock disposed of, and the date of disposition.

10.

General.

(a)          The Company shall at all times during the term of the Option use reasonable efforts to reserve and keep available such number of shares of Common Stock as will be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of this Agreement, shall pay all original issue and transfer taxes with respect to the issue and transfer of shares pursuant hereto and all other fees and expenses necessarily incurred by the Company in connection therewith, and will from time to time use reasonable efforts to comply with all laws and regulations, which, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, shall be applicable thereto.

(b)          The granting of the Option hereunder shall not impose any obligation on the Company to continue the employment of the Optionee; nor shall it impose any obligation on the Optionee to exercise the Option.

(c)          This Agreement and the Plan contain the entire agreement of the parties, and supersede any and all other prior or contemporaneous agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties hereto, with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Plan shall govern any Option granted hereunder. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall govern.

(d)          This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California, without giving effect to principles of conflict of laws.

(e)          The Company may require, as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to sell and issue, and the Optionee’s right to purchase, shares of common stock of the Company on exercise of the Option, that the Optionee shall certify, in writing, that he or she is acquiring such shares for investment and not with a view or the intent to sell or redistribute such shares.
