Election of Director

On July 29, 2011, PTC’s Board of Directors elected Thomas Bogan as a Class II Director to serve until the 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Mr. Bogan, age 59, has been a Venture Partner of Greylock Partners, a venture capital firm, since January 2010, and was a Partner at Greylock Partners from May 2004 to December 2009.  Prior to that, he was President of Rational Software Corporation, an S&P 500 enterprise software company, from 2000 to 2003, and Chief Operating Officer of Rational Software Corporation from 1996 to 2000.

Mr. Bogan was appointed to the Corporate Governance Committee of the Board.

Mr. Bogan was granted 14,069 shares of restricted stock as a new director retention grant, which shares will vest in two substantially equal installments on each of the first and second anniversaries of the grant date, provided he remains a director of PTC on the relevant vest dates.  In addition, Mr. Bogan will receive an annual cash retainer and annual equity retainer in the same amounts as our non-employee directors (other than our Lead Independent Director).  For his current term, those amounts were pro-rated for the remaining portion of the current year he will serve.  Accordingly, the annual cash retainer was pro-rated to $20,450 and the annual equity retainer was pro-rated to 5,471 shares of restricted stock, which shares will vest on the earlier of the date of 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and March 15, 2012 if he remains a director of PTC on that date.  Mr. Bogan will also earn $2,000 for each meeting of the Board of Directors and of any committee on which he serves that he attends.
