A copy of the press release relating to Mr. Bettencourt and Mr. Kramer’s appointments is filed as Exhibit 99.01 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Mr. Bettencourt, age 53, previously served as chief executive officer of Coverity Inc., a privately held company that develops and markets development testing solutions that assist software developers in detecting and fixing quality and security problems from November 2010 to March 2014, following Coverity’s acquisition by Synopsys, Inc.

In connection with his appointment, on August 13, 2014, the Company and Mr. Bettencourt executed an employment offer letter (the “Offer Letter”), which provides the following:

 

    A base salary of $375,000 per year.

    In the event of a qualifying termination under our Change in Control Plan and contingent upon Mr. Bettencourt’s execution of a binding severance and release agreement (which includes customary release, covenant not-to-sue, non-disparagement, non-solicitation and proprietary information provisions), Mr. Bettencourt will be entitled to receive (1) a lump sum cash payment in an amount equal to Mr. Bettencourt’s annual base salary as in effect immediately prior to the severance date, plus his target annual bonus or cash incentive opportunity for the year in which the severance date occurs, less applicable withholding taxes; (2) full acceleration of all outstanding equity awards (subject to certain restrictions noted in the Change in Control Plan); and (3) reimbursement of premiums paid for continuation coverage for twelve months pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985.

This agreement provides for indemnification for related expenses including, among other things, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by Mr. Bettencourt in any action or proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
