Item 5.02(e) 2015 Salary Information for Named Executive Officers

On January 14, 2015, the board of directors (the “Board”) of XenoPort, Inc. (the “Company”) approved, upon the recommendation of the compensation committee of the Board, annual salaries and target bonus percentages for 2015 for the Company’s “named executive officers” (as defined under applicable securities laws). The 2015 compensation information for such named executive officers is set forth on Exhibit 10.31 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.02(e) Amended and Restated Corporate Bonus Plan

On January 14, 2015, the Board approved, upon the recommendation of the compensation committee of the Board, the amendment and restatement of the XenoPort, Inc. Corporate Bonus Plan (as amended, the “Bonus Plan”), to be effective as of January 1, 2015 for the 2015 performance period. The material terms of the Bonus Plan are described in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and filed with the SEC on April 22, 2014.

The purpose of the amendment and restatement of the Bonus Plan is to better align the Bonus Plan with market standards and competitive peer group benchmarking, including by amending the Bonus Plan to:

 

    reduce, from 70% to 60%, the minimum performance threshold that the Company must meet with respect to its weighted corporate objectives for any bonus award payments to be made to employees for a performance period;

 

    change the weightings of the Company and individual performance components used for determining an actual bonus award amount for the Chief Executive Officer from 75% Company performance and 25% individual performance to 100% Company performance;

 

    set the eligibility participation date to October 1 for new hires for a performance period; and

 

    effect certain other employee eligibility requirements.

The foregoing description of the changes to the Bonus Plan is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the amended and restated Bonus Plan that is filed as Exhibit 10.28 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
