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

On September 15, 2015, the Compensation and Leadership Development Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Board of Directors of ACI Worldwide, Inc. (the “Company”) granted awards of performance-based restricted shares (“Performance-Based Restricted Shares”) to certain employees in order to deliver competitive compensation tied to Company performance. The Performance-Based Restricted Shares were granted using the Company’s form of Performance-Based Restricted Share Agreement attached as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 12, 2015.

Each of the following named executive officers was granted the number of Performance-Based Restricted Shares reflected in the following table:

 

Name

    Number of Target
Performance-Based Restricted
Shares
(assumes 100%
attainment of
performance goals)		  

Scott W. Behrens, Senior Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer

      22,996   

Daniel Frate, Group President, Strategic Products & Global Markets

      22,996   

Carolyn Homberger, Group President, Customer Management and Maintenance

      17,247   

The Performance-Based Restricted Shares are subject to the Company achieving performance goals related to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) in fiscal 2016. The Performance-Based Restricted Shares are also contingent upon continued employment.

The Performance-Based Restricted Shares will generally vest only if the applicable EBITDA threshold performance goal for fiscal 2016 is met or exceeded. If the Company achieves the applicable EBITDA threshold performance level for fiscal 2016, then the Performance-Based Restricted Shares will vest based on a performance matrix that provides 75% of the Performance-Based Restricted Shares vest for threshold performance, 100% of the awarded Performance-Based Restricted Shares vest for target performance and 150% of the Performance-Based Restricted Shares vest for performance at or above the maximum level. If the Company’s EBITDA performance goals fall between the specified percentage ranges set forth in the performance matrix, the Compensation Committee will determine the vesting percentage and the number of vested shares by mathematical interpolation, rounded to the nearest whole share.
