Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On June 7, 2012, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of salesforce.com, inc. (the “Company”) amended and restated its 2006 Inducement Equity Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”) to increase the number of shares of its common stock reserved for issuance under the 2006 Plan by an additional 400,000 shares. The 2006 Plan reserves shares of the Company’s common stock solely for the granting of inducement stock options and other awards. Currently, the Compensation Committee of the Board administers the 2006 Plan, including approving grants under the 2006 Plan. The 2006 Plan was adopted in April 2006 and amended in March 2009, January 2011 and September 2011 without stockholder approval in reliance on the “employment inducement exemption” provided under Rule 303A.08 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual.
The foregoing description of the 2006 Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2006 Plan, a copy of which is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On June 7, 2012, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved and adopted a cash bonus plan, the Kokua Bonus Plan (the “Kokua Plan” or “Plan”), to replace the Company’s previous cash bonus plan, the Mahalo Bonus Plan. Under the Kokua Plan, bonuses are paid to the Company’s eligible employees, including the named executive officers, based on achievement of corporate and individual performance objectives established under the Plan. The Kokua Plan is effective as of February 1, 2012, and initially governs the Company’s fiscal year 2013, which began on February 1, 2012 and ends on January 31, 2013.
For the Company’s executive officers, including its named executive officers, the bonus pool for the Kokua Plan will be based on the Company’s performance during the fiscal year compared to pre-established target levels for three equally-weighted financial measures: revenue, operating cash flow, and non-GAAP operating income, subject to certain adjustments. Under the Kokua Plan, other financial measures apply for eligible employees who are not executive officers. In any given fiscal year, if the Company’s performance of the financial measures exceeds or falls short of the target levels, the bonus pool is increased or decreased accordingly. As set forth in the Kokua Plan, for the Company’s executive officers the bonus pool is subject to a maximum funding level of 100% and an individual performance multiplier maximum of 125% of each executive’s target bonus opportunity, subject to approval of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has the discretion to increase or decrease the bonus pool funding levels and/or the bonus amounts actually paid to executives pursuant to the terms of the Kokua Plan.
Under the Kokua Plan, the target bonus for each of the Company’s named executive officers for fiscal year 2013 is a percentage of his base salary, and has not been modified from the targets reported in the Company’s 2012 Proxy Statement with respect to the prior Mahalo Bonus Plan.
Cash bonuses are expected to be paid twice each fiscal year under the Kokua Plan. After the first half of the fiscal year, the Company has typically paid 25% of the full target bonus amount for which an executive is eligible. After the end of the fiscal year, the Company pays the remaining amount, which may be increased or decreased based on (i) the size of the actual bonus pool and (ii) the Company’s CEO’s assessment, or, with respect to the Company’s CEO, the Compensation Committee’s assessment, of the executive’s individual performance as described above.
The foregoing description of the Kokua Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Kokua Plan, a copy of which is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.2.
