Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On March 5, 2013, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Facebook, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Susan Desmond-Hellmann as a member of the Board. At the time of this filing, the Board has not made a final determination regarding the committees of the Board, if any, to which Dr. Desmond-Hellmann will be appointed.
There is no arrangement or understanding with any person pursuant to which Dr. Desmond-Hellmann was appointed as a member of the Board. In accordance with the Company’s existing compensation policy with respect to annual retainer fees for non-employee directors, Dr. Desmond-Hellmann will receive an annual retainer fee of $50,000, which will be prorated during 2013. In addition, the Board will grant 20,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to Dr. Desmond-Hellmann, as compensation for her service as a member of the Board. The RSUs will vest over four years, with approximately one-fourth (1/4th) of the total shares underlying the RSUs vesting on May 15, 2014 and one-sixteenth (1/16th) of the total shares underlying the RSUs vesting on each subsequent quarterly vesting date, subject to continued services to the Company through each quarterly vesting date.
In addition to the compensation that Dr. Desmond-Hellmann will receive in connection with her appointment as a member of the Board, the Company intends to enter into a standard form of indemnification agreement with Dr. Desmond-Hellmann. The indemnification agreement, among other things, would require the Company to indemnify Dr. Desmond-Hellmann for certain expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, penalties, fines and settlement amounts actually and reasonably incurred by her in any action or proceeding arising out of her service as one of the Company’s directors, or any of the Company’s subsidiaries or any other company or enterprise to which she provides services at the Company’s request. A form of the indemnification agreement was previously filed by the Company as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-179287), as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 1, 2012, as subsequently amended.
