On February 12, 2013, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Extreme Networks, Inc. (the “Company”) approved a grant of restricted stock units to Nancy Shemwell, the Company’s Executive Vice President, Global Sales. The grant is valued at $65,000, with the number of shares to be determined on May 3, 2013, the second trading day after the Company next releases earnings results, by dividing $65,000 by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on such date, rounded down to the nearest whole share. Fifty percent of the RSUs subject to the grant will vest on each of May 3, 2014 and May 3, 2015.
The Compensation Committee amended the revenue target under the Company’s Sales Compensation Plan in which Ms. Shemwell participates; however Ms. Shemwell’s total target cash compensation, as previously disclosed by the Company, remains unchanged.
