Item 8.01. Other Events.
On October 22, 2010, the Board of Directors of Internap Network Services Corporation (the “Company”) approved and instituted stock ownership guidelines for its executive officers and non-employee directors to further align executive and stockholder interests. The ownership guidelines apply to the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Administrative Officer, all Senior Vice Presidents and non-employee directors. These individuals are required to beneficially own a number of shares of Company common stock as determined below:
|
Individual
|
Multiple
|
|
|
Chief Executive Officer
|
6.0x base salary
|
|
|
Chief Financial Officer and Chief Administrative Officer
|
3.0x base salary
|
|
|
All Other Senior Vice Presidents
|
2.0x base salary
|
|
|
Non-Employee Directors
|
5.0x annual retainer
|
Whether an individual meets his or her guideline is annually determined and calculated as the lesser number of shares from either (a) the individual’s salary/retainer (as of October 22, 2010) times the multiple above, divided by a $5.00 price of the Company’s common stock or (b) the individual’s then-current salary/retainer times the multiple above, divided by the then-current price of the Company’s common stock.
The guidelines require executive officers and directors to retain 100% of the shares granted to them by the Company (net of applicable taxes) until the guidelines are achieved, but do not establish a time period during which the targeted ownership levels must be met. Unrestricted stock held by the individual, including shares purchased on the open market, as well as restricted stock subject to time-based vesting (which are credited toward the guideline on a pre-tax basis) are credited toward the satisfaction of the ownership guidelines. Stock options, whether vested or unvested, are not credited toward the satisfaction of the ownership guidelines. These stock ownership guidelines replace the Company’s previously-disclosed stock retention guidelines.
