Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On December 15, 2015, based on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Intralinks Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) increased the size of the Board to nine directors and elected Harsha Ramalingam to the Board as a Class I director of the Company to serve until the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders in 2017 or until his successor is duly elected and qualified.
Mr. Ramalingam is the President of Ramalingam Consulting, LLC, which he launched in June 2015, and has over 30 years of experience operational leadership experience in Internet and enterprise software. He has held a variety of senior executive positions at leading technology companies in the past, including Amazon.com, Inc. (“Amazon”). At Amazon, where he worked from December 2008 through June 2015, he was Vice President, eCommerce Platform and a member of the Consumer Leadership Team for all of Amazon’s subsidiaries. Prior to Amazon, Mr. Ramalingam was Vice President of Products and Operations, EMC SaaS, at EMC Corp., where he was responsible for R&D, product and program management, as well as technical and business operations. Mr. Ramalingam received a BS in electrical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology and an MBA in general management from the Indian Institute of Management.
Mr. Ramalingam will participate in the Company's non-employee director compensation program. Pursuant to this program, which was amended and restated in July 2015, each non-employee director receives an annual retainer of $40,000, which will be pro-rated in monthly increments for his first year of Board service. In addition, Mr. Ramalingam shall also be eligible to participate in the Company’s stock option and incentive plans. Mr. Ramalingam shall be granted, under the Company’s 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended and restated to date, the “Plan”), an award of restricted common stock with a value of $150,000 based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of his election (the “Election Grant”). The Election Grant shall vest quarterly over three (3) years from the effective date of joining the Board; provided that, if not already vested, the such award shall fully vest on the date of the third annual meeting of stockholders following the date of grant. In addition, Mr. Ramalingam shall also receive, under the Plan on the date of each annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders while he serves as a director, an award of restricted common stock award with a value of $100,000 based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of grant (the “Annual Grant”), which will be ratably increased in monthly increments for his first year of Board service. The Annual Stock Grant shall vest quarterly over one (1) year following the date of the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders; provided that, if not already vested, the Annual Stock Grant shall fully vest on the date of the first annual meeting of stockholders following the date of grant.
In addition, the Company expects to enter into an indemnification agreement with Mr. Ramalingam in connection with his election to the Board, which is expected to be in substantially the same form as that entered into with the other directors of the Company.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On December 15, 2015, the Company issued a press release announcing the appointment of Mr. Ramalingam to the Board. A copy of the press release is filed with this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.
