Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
(e) Effective as of September 9, 2011, officers of SanDisk Corporation (the “Company”) subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Officers”), including named executive officers, acknowledged the Company’s new policy regarding the recoupment of certain performance-based compensation payments (the “Clawback Policy”) in the event of a restatement of the financial statements of the Company (the “Acknowledgement”). The Clawback Policy provides that the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company (or an appropriate committee or committees designated by the Board) may require reimbursement or forfeiture to the Company of all or a portion of any cash-based incentive compensation paid to an Officer to the extent that: (1) the Company’s financial statements are required to be restated as a result of material non-compliance with any financial reporting requirements under the federal securities laws (other than a restatement due to a change in financial accounting rules); (2) as a result of such restatement, a performance measure or specified performance target which was a material factor in determining the amount of cash-based incentive compensation previously earned by the Officer is restated; and (3) upon a determination by the Board, a lesser payment of cash-based incentive compensation would have been made to the Officer based upon the revised financial results.
This Clawback Policy shall apply to any cash-based incentive compensation paid to an Officer (while such individual is an Officer) from and after July 28, 2011 during the three (3) year period preceding the date on which the Company discloses on a Form 8-K or via other publicly filed disclosure that it is required to restate its financial statements. In addition, the Clawback Policy will terminate upon a “Change of Control” as defined therein. A copy of the Clawback Policy is provided at the Company’s website (www.sandisk.com/IR).
The foregoing description of the Acknowledgement is qualified in its entirety by the Acknowledgement, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
