Item 5.02.
On May 29, 2012, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee") of Motricity, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the Amended and Restated Executive Officer Severance/Change in Control Plan effective May 30, 2012. Executive officers other than the chief executive officer are eligible to participate in the plan if so designated by the Compensation Committee. Under the plan as amended, any executive who participates in the plan who is terminated by the Company without cause will receive six months of continued base salary payments, and any executive who participates in the plan who is terminated by the Company without cause or by the executive for good reason within 12 months from a change in control will receive six months of continued base salary payments and accelerated vesting as to 75% of any then unvested options, restricted stock or performance stock units.
Further, on May 29, 2012, the Compensation Committee adopted a revised form of stock option agreement for the Company's named executive officers, which provides that any stock options issued to the named executive officers will vest as follows: (i) twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares subject to an option will vest in four (4) equal tranches on each anniversary of the vesting commencement date (i.e., 6.25%); and (ii) the remaining seventy-five percent (75%) of the shares subject to the option will vest on the third (3rd) anniversary of the applicable vesting commencement date, subject to the achievement of specified performance targets: thirty-three percent (33%) of seventy-five percent (75%) of the shares of our common stock subject to the option must achieve a specified target price; thirty-three percent (33%) of seventy-five percent (75%) of the shares of our common stock subject to the option must achieve a specified target price; and (iii) thirty-three percent (33%) of seventy-five percent (75%) of the shares of our common stock subject to the option must achieve a specified target price. The target price of our common stock will be determined based upon the average of the closing prices of our shares of common stock on a nationally recognized securities exchange over a ninety (90) day period.
The foregoing descriptions of the Amended and Restated Executive Officer Severance/Change in Control Plan and the revised form of stock option agreement for our named executive officers do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the Amended and Restated Executive Officer Severance/Change in Control Plan and the Form of Stock Option Agreement for Named Executive Officers filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 hereto, which are incorporated herein by reference.
