Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s officers and directors and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Such officers, directors, and shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all such reports that they file.
Under the applicable regulations, the reporting person is responsible for making the filing. Ordinarily however, when a reporting person engages in a transaction with the Company, such as the grant of a stock option, RSU, or similar award, Company personnel generate the report on a timely basis for the benefit of the reporting person.
Based solely on a review of copies of reports filed with the SEC and of written representations by certain Officers and Directors, all persons subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) filed the required reports on a timely basis during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, with the exception of Mr. Mutryn who had two late filings.

2015 Say on Pay Vote
DECISION SUPPORT As the Compensation Committee made its fiscal year 2016 compensation decisions, it considered that a record 98% of the votes cast on the Company’s fiscal year 2015 executive compensation program (the “Say on Pay” proposal) were voted in favor of the “Say on Pay” proposal at the Company’s 2015 Annual Meeting. This was an increase from 2014’s 73% approval rate and 2013’s 79% approval rate. The Company also actively engages with its shareholders to determine views towards the programs and reviews comments from shareholder advisory services.
|
Pay for Performance Philosophy
The Compensation Committee believes our executive compensation program should incent and reward behaviors that build a foundation for our long-term performance and success while also supporting the achievement of annual objectives. Our performance assessment framework and executive compensation program are designed to reward such performance by linking our executives’ compensation to the achievement of both long- and short-term goals. For example, the annual incentives paid to each of our NEOs vary with performance, including our annual financial results. Additionally, the NEOs receive two types of long-term incentive plan awards that will result in payouts only if we achieve targeted growth in such measures as stock price performance, earnings per share (“EPS”), net after tax profit (“NATP”) and revenue.
24

Executive Compensation Program Design
The substantial majority of our NEOs’ compensation is directly tied to our performance with short-term and long-term incentives comprising approximately 75% of our NEOs’ total direct compensation (“TDC”). The following is a list of components of our executive compensation program:
Character |
Component |
Description |
Fixed |
Base Salary |
· Annual fixed portion of NEOs’ TDC designed to attract and retain experienced executives, comprising only approximately 25%(2) of our executives’ total compensation. |
At Risk |
Annual Incentives |
· Cash bonus plan that rewards NEOs for achieving quarterly and annual performance objectives. · EPS; NATP; revenue; return on invested capital (“ROIC”); and new business awards. |
Long-Term Incentives |
· Performance-based Restricted Stock Units (“PRSUs”) earned based on achievement of certain performance goals and vesting on the third and fourth grant anniversaries. · Cash-based long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) provides value to the executive only to the extent NATP and revenue significantly outperformed plan over a three-year period. |
Performance Assessment
Compensation Committee |
The Compensation Committee uses a comprehensive process to continually assess performance, which includes frequent dialogue with management about financial performance relative to our goals and competitors, and assessment of corporate and individual executive accomplishments. |
Independent Consultant |
The Compensation Committee also asks our independent compensation consultant to assess our pay-for-performance alignment, which includes an analysis of our NEOs’ realizable pay relative to our peer group and an analysis of operational and shareholder returns relative to our peer group. |

Compensation Governance, Process and Incentive Decisions
Decision Making
The Decision Makers
The Compensation Committee, composed solely of independent directors, is responsible for our executive officer compensation decisions. The Compensation Committee works very closely with its independent consultant and management to examine pay and performance matters throughout the year. The Compensation Committee held seven meetings over the course of fiscal year 2016, and all four quarterly meetings either ended or started with executive sessions without management present. The Compensation Committee’s charter may be accessed through the “Corporate Governance” link found on our website at http://investor.shareholder.com/caci/governance.cfm. |
Compensation Committee’s Independent Compensation Consultant
The Compensation Committee retained Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc. (FW Cook) as its independent compensation consultant. During fiscal year 2016, the compensation consultant attended Compensation Committee meetings, met with the Compensation Committee in executive sessions, reviewed and provided recommendations on the components of the company’s executive compensation program and provided compensation advice independent of the company’s management.
FW Cook reports directly to the Committee and performs no work for management other than providing advice on executive compensation pursuant to its engagement by the Committee. The Compensation Committee assessed the independence of FW Cook pursuant to SEC rules and concluded that their work for the Compensation Committee did not raise any conflicts of interest.

ExeCutive Compensation
The Compensation Committee has both a strategic and administrative role in managing the compensation structure of the Company, with an emphasis on compensation of top management. Strategically, the Compensation Committee considers how the achievement of the overall goals and objectives of the Company can be aided through adoption of an appropriate compensation philosophy and effective program elements.
Administratively, the Compensation Committee reviews compensation paid, salary progressions, incentive compensation allocations, benefits and perquisites provided to all employees, and equity awards granted under all shareholder-approved plans.
The Compensation Committee is responsible for setting the compensation, including incentive and equity-based compensation, of the Company’s executive officers, including NEOs.
The Committee reviews corporate performance each quarter, and assesses progress against each of the incentive plan’s goals. The Committee uses a performance assessment framework to make CEO compensation decisions. For the other NEOs, the Committee, based on input from the CEO, reviews (1) business unit/staff group performance against the objectives set for the fiscal year, and (2) each NEO’s Leadership Assessment based on individual performance with regard to key leadership attributes. The Committee evaluates each NEO’s relative compensation and changes in responsibilities, and considers current pay practices for comparable positions at peer companies. The Committee also considers the CEO’s recommendations, succession planning, retention, and advice of its independent compensation consultant. Finally, before making pay decisions, the Committee reviews the pay mix to ensure that it is competitively positioned and performance-based. The Committee also discusses other information relevant to executive compensation, such as trends, regulatory updates, and shareholder feedback.

ExeCutive Compensation
The Compensation Committee followed the process outlined below to determine and assess NEO compensation in fiscal year 2016:
FY 2015/2016 |
Q4 FY2015 | ending 6/30/2015 • Established preliminary fiscal year 2016 compensation program design • Established preliminary metrics and goals for the fiscal year 2016 annual incentive plan • Reviewed total target direct compensation for the NEOs
Q1 FY2016 | ending 9/30/2015 • Finalized fiscal year 2016 compensation program design • Finalized metrics and goals for the fiscal year 2016 annual incentive plan • Set total target direct compensation for the NEOs • Set the metrics and goals for the PRSUs and LTIP |
DETERMINE TDC TARGETS FOR THE NEOs
At the end of fiscal year 2015 and early in fiscal year 2016, the Compensation Committee determined fiscal year 2016 TDC targets for the CEO and each of the other NEOs based on the following process: • Leadership Evaluation: The Compensation Committee uses a performance assessment framework to make CEO compensation decisions. For the other NEOs, the Compensation Committee, based on input from the CEO, reviews (1) business unit/staff group performance against the objectives set in fiscal year 2015, and (2) each NEO’s Leadership Assessment based on individual performance with regard to key leadership attributes. • Risk-Balancing and Performance: In evaluating the performance of the NEOs, the Compensation Committee seeks to understand what was accomplished relative to established objectives, how it was accomplished, the quality of financial results and the company’s strategic positioning for future competitive advantage. • Market Practices: The Compensation Committee evaluates each NEO’s relative compensation and changes in responsibilities, and considers current pay practices for comparable positions at peer companies. • Independent Consultant Recommendation: The Compensation Committee receives input from its independent compensation consultant. • Other Factors: For the other NEOs, the Compensation Committee also considers the CEO’s recommendations, succession planning and retention. Finally, before making pay decisions, the Compensation Committee reviews the pay mix to ensure that it is competitively positioned and performance-based.
PROGRAM DESIGN AND GOAL SETTING
In late fiscal year 2015 and early fiscal year 2016, the Compensation Committee finalized the fiscal year 2016 compensation plan, and reviewed and approved the metrics and goals for the annual incentive plan as well as the PRSUs and LTIP. |

Assessing Competitive Practice
FW Cook assists the Committee by reviewing comparative market data on compensation practices and programs within the Company’s peer group.
During fiscal year 2016, FW Cook was responsible for providing information on new laws and regulations, general industry compensation practices, and recommendations for director compensation and compensation for management positions under the Committee’s purview, and for performing independent assessments of management recommendations brought before the Committee. FW Cook participated in all meetings of the Committee during the fiscal year.
For fiscal year 2016, peer comparisons were performed against 16 publicly traded companies which were selected based on similarities to CACI in size and/or industry as well as operational similarities. The selected companies were as follows:
Acxiom Corporation |
Alliance Data Systems Corporation |
Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corporation |
Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. |
Ciber, Inc. |
Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation |
Convergys Corporation |
Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. |
Fiserv, Inc. |
Harris Corporation |
Leidos Holdings, Inc. |
ManTech International Corporation |
MAXIMUS, Inc. |
Sykes Enterprises, Inc. |
Tetra Tech, Inc. |
Unisys Corporation |
The companies used for peer comparisons are reviewed annually and adjusted as necessary due to changes at the selected company (e.g., acquisitions, bankruptcies, etc.) or changes in the comparability of the selected company to CACI. No changes were made for fiscal year 2016.
General industry market analysis for NEO and other executive compensation was also performed for the Company by Towers Watson, which did not provide advice or analysis regarding the data provided to the Compensation Committee.
Determining Executive Compensation
Executive Compensation Objectives
Our NEO compensation programs are designed to attract, retain and reward the management talent that we need to maintain and strengthen our position in the industry and to achieve our business objectives.
OUR COMPENSATION PRINCIPLES
Our compensation programs for NEOs are guided by three basic principles:
Link compensation to performance. We believe that compensation levels should reflect performance - both the performance of CACI and the performance of the recipient.
Maintain competitive compensation levels. We strive to offer programs and levels of compensation that are competitive with those offered by comparable companies in our industry in order to attract, retain and reward our NEOs.
Align management’s interests with those of shareholders. We seek to implement programs that will retain NEOs and increase long-term shareholder value by providing competitive compensation and granting long-term equity incentive awards each year.

Fiscal Year 2016 Annual Incentives
Target Annual Incentives
Our annual incentive program is a cash incentive plan designed to motivate our executive officers to achieve pre-established quarterly and annual performance objectives. In establishing target annual incentives for fiscal year 2016, the Compensation Committee reviewed our NEOs’ total target cash compensation relative to our peers and made certain adjustments to more closely align our NEOs’ total target cash compensation to the peer group. The table below shows the fiscal year 2016 NEO target annual incentive levels that were approved by the Compensation Committee in July 2015.
For Mr. Asbury, it was determined that his total cash compensation was significantly below that of the peer group and his annual incentive target merited an increase in order to bring his total target cash compensation in line other CEOs in the peer group. Due to the size of the fiscal year 2016 increase, the Compensation Committee further determined to put the full increase into the annual component of his incentive plan, and to keep his quarterly bonus potential unchanged from fiscal year 2015 ($100,000 per quarter).

ExeCutive Compensation
The annual incentive plan has both annual and quarterly components to ensure that executives are focused on performance throughout the fiscal year. These components are described below:
Component |
Determination |
Annual |
Established at the beginning of the fiscal year and may be modified by the Compensation Committee during the fiscal year due to changes in business conditions (e.g., acquisitions, major corporate events, etc.). During fiscal year 2016, no modifications were made. |
Quarterly |
Established at the beginning of the fiscal year and reviewed at the beginning of each quarter, with each quarter representing 8-10% of the annual incentive program for each NEO. |
Fiscal Year 2016 Targets
At the beginning of each fiscal year, the Compensation Committee establishes the performance metrics applicable to the annual and quarterly components of the annual incentive program. The performance metrics are selected to incent the Company’s growth and meet the needs of the Company’s shareholders, and are applied to each executive based on their responsibilities. For fiscal year 2016, the Compensation Committee selected the following performance metrics:
Performance Metric |
Purpose |
|
NATP
|
NATP is the primary indicator of our performance that is controlled by us and is used as the primary incentive metric to ensure our executives’ focus on overall profitability. |
|
Revenue |
Revenue is our primary measure of growth which requires expansion of current business and the capture of new business. |
|
New Business Awards |
Awards of new contracts by our customers is a measure of organic growth. |
|
EPS |
EPS is a measure of profitability that is commonly used by our shareholders in evaluating our performance. |
|
ROIC |
ROIC is a measure used to ensure our executives allocate capital efficiently in order to generate returns for our shareholders. |
|
UK NATP |
UK NATP is the primary indicator of CACI Limited’s performance. |

2016 Changes For fiscal year 2016, the Compensation Committee made two key changes to the annual incentive program in an effort to increase the incentive on organic growth: · New Business Awards was added as a new metric for most of the NEOs in order to incent a key indicator of annual growth; due to the nature of the CACI Limited business, it was determined that metric would not be applied to Mr. Bradford. · The weightings of the quarterly metrics for Mr. Asbury and Dr. London were modified to put more focus on revenue, the primary indicator of organic growth. In addition, Mr. Mengucci’s annual metrics were changed to include EPS and ROIC due to his role in making and influencing capital allocation decisions and to better align him with other NEOs; Dr. London, Mr. Asbury, and Mr. Mutryn previously had these metrics in their plans for similar reasons. Further, a cap was added to the annual incentive plan; the cap was set at 250% of the Target annual incentive level for each NEO. |
After determining the appropriate performance metrics and weights applicable to the annual incentive program, the Compensation Committee establishes the target performance levels for each performance metric at the beginning of the fiscal year. The performance targets for each metric are established based on the Company’s five-year strategic plan, current business environment, review of the competitive market, historical performance against targets and the Company’s desire for growth. As a result, in fiscal year 2016, the performance targets for NATP, EPS, and ROIC were set 3.7% above the Company’s plan, and revenue and new business awards performance targets were set at the planned levels.
Once performance targets are established for each performance metric, the Compensation Committee determines appropriate lower, or “Cut,” threshold levels for each metric and upper, or “Stretch,” threshold levels. For performance below Cut levels, no bonus is awarded. For performance at or above Cut levels, bonus payouts are prorated on a straight-line basis. Above Stretch levels for profit metrics only, bonus payouts are calculated as a percentage of the NEOs’ respective metric performance. Total payment for the annual incentive program is capped at 250% for each NEO.
The ranges between Cut, Target and Stretch levels are based upon multiple factors assessed by the Compensation Committee, including historical ranges and historical performance against Target, Cut, and Stretch metrics. For fiscal year
34
ExeCutive Compensation
2016, for financial metrics the Compensation Committee approved the Cut thresholds at 94% of Target and Stretch Thresholds at 104% of Target. For the new business awards metric the Compensation Committee approved the Cut threshold at 90% of Target and the Stretch Threshold at 110% of Target; the wider range was approved due to the increased volatility of the metric and historical experience using this metric within the Company’s Business Development organization.

In consideration of the performance outlined above, the table below provides a summary of the annual incentives actually earned by our NEOs. The differences in the payouts as a percentage of target between Dr. London and Mr. Asbury despite them having the same metrics is due to the difference in the weighting of their quarterly incentives (40% for Dr. London and 32% for Mr. Asbury) and the impact of performing above Stretch for the profit metric in Q1, as both received 2.0% of the amount above the Stretch level. The differences in the payouts as a percentage of target between Mr. Mengucci and Mr. Mutryn despite them having the same metrics is due to the impact of performing above Stretch for the profit metric in Q1, as both received 1.5% of the amount above the Stretch level.

Fiscal Year 2016 Long-Term Incentives
Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (PRSUs)
A significant portion of our NEOs’ TDC is granted in the form of PRSUs that are designed to improve shareholder value and contribute to the growth and financial success of the Company. In order to receive any shares granted under the award, the Company must reach a minimum one-year EPS threshold. If the minimum threshold is met, then any earned shares are earned over a three year performance period with the number of shares earned each year adjusted by the percentage growth or decline from the average stock price over 90 calendar days immediately preceding the grant to the average stock price over 90 calendar days immediately preceding the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date, subject to an overall cap of 200% of target. Once earned, the shares vest ratably on the third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date. Below is a hypothetical example of how PRSUs are earned and vested:
Grant: 3,000 Shares (all earned amounts assume 10% annual stock price growth)

The EPS threshold for fiscal year 2016 was set at $4.00. This was based on potential delays from new business awards compared to what was in the fiscal year 2016 plan, which was considered to be a realistic possibility given the dynamics of the government services industry. The Compensation Committee set the fiscal year 2016 threshold at the same level as the fiscal year 2015 threshold because the planned EPS in fiscal year 2016 was also lower than that planned in fiscal year 2015.
During the annual review of the equity program, the Compensation Committee considered other formats, such as stock options, stock appreciation rights, non-performance-based RSUs, performance-based equity that leverages other
36
ExeCutive Compensation
financial metrics approved within the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, and performance-based equity based on relative performance metrics against a defined peer group or stock market index. Regarding the use of relative performance metrics, it was determined that the existing and anticipated turnover of companies in the competitive market due to acquisitions, spin-offs, privatization, new public offerings and other similar transactions made the measurement over a three-year period unfeasible at this time. Further, feedback from our investors about the potential usage of a stock market index for a relative measurement received little support.
The Compensation Committee used market data provided by its compensation consultants in order to set the dollar value of equity for the named executive officers. Based on this review, the Compensation Committee made certain adjustments to align our NEOs with the median of our peer group. The increases for Dr. London and Mr. Mengucci were based entirely on changes in the market data. For Mr. Bradford, the $100,000 increase was due to future retention concerns based on the relatively small amount of stock vesting in 2017 and 2018; similar one-time increases were approved for Mr. Mengucci and Mr. Mutryn in fiscal 2014.

Mr. Asbury received a stock grant upon his hiring in February 2013 in the form of 300,000 time-based RSUs (Restricted Stock Units); while compensation offered to executive officers is generally performance-based it was determined at the time of Mr. Asbury’s hiring that the time-based format was required to obtain his services. Based upon the size of this grant and the vesting timeframe, the Compensation Committee determined that Mr. Asbury would not be eligible for annual grants until fiscal year 2017.
|
Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) (Cash)
The LTIP is a separate plan, independent of other incentive programs administered by the Compensation Committee. The LTIP is a cash-based plan, designed to incent long-term growth and profitability, with performance metrics set at very challenging levels. The Compensation Committee selected NATP and revenue as performance metrics for the LTIP, to incent higher levels of long-term growth along these important metrics. Although performance under our annual incentive plan is evaluated along these same metrics, the LTIP targets are set well above the annual incentive plan levels. For fiscal year 2016, NATP was set 6% higher than the annual incentive plan target (a total of 10% above the Company’s plan), and Revenue was set 10% higher than the annual incentive plan target.
The Compensation Committee has sole discretion in selecting participants in the LTIP, with participation intended to be limited to people most able to impact the achievement of the metrics. Among the NEOs, Mr. Mengucci and Mr. Mutryn were selected to participate in the LTIP for fiscal year 2016. At their request, Dr. London and Mr. Asbury were not considered for participation due to their existing incentives.
|
The cash incentives under the LTIP are distributed at the end of a three-year period, with a third of the value earned on a one-year performance period, a third of the value earned on a cumulative two-year performance period and a
37
ExeCutive Compensation
third of the value earned on a cumulative three-year performance period that are each established at the time the target award is determined. In order to ensure that our participating NEOs are challenged, the performance required for payouts under the LTIP are set beyond the Stretch levels established under the annual incentive plan.
The Compensation Committee generally sets the LTIP target value for each participant to match their annual incentive plan target bonus level. As the metrics were intended to have a high level of difficulty to achieve, the Compensation Committee determined that market data provided by its compensation consultants did not directly apply to the determination of the bonus potential. For Mr. Mengucci and Mr. Mutryn, the Compensation Committee set their annual bonus potential equal to:

At the conclusion of each fiscal year after grant, CACI’s performance against the metrics will be measured. If both metrics are achieved, each participant would earn 100% of their LTIP potential for that year. If only NATP or revenue is achieved, only a portion of the LTIP potential would be earned. The performance metrics, weightings and targets for the 2016 performance periods for the 2014 LTIP, 2015 LTIP, and the 2016 LTIP are below (in millions):

Other Compensation Policies and Practices
Benefits and Executive Perquisites
All NEOs are entitled to receive a Company-provided automobile or an allowance to obtain an automobile. The President and Chief Executive Officer, Executive Chairman, Chief Operating Officer and President, U.S. Operations, and
38
ExeCutive Compensation
the Chief Financial Officer are also eligible for annual financial planning services. These items are fully taxable as ordinary income; no tax gross-up is provided.
In addition, we provide a $25,000 discretionary benefit allowance per calendar year to the President and Chief Executive Officer, and to the Chairman of the Board and Executive Chairman. This allowance can be used for business or personal expenses. All personal benefit received from this allowance is fully taxable as ordinary income; no tax gross-up is provided.
Furthermore, Dr. London has a medical agreement that provides lifetime participation in the Company’s executive medical plan for him and his spouse to the extent permitted by law, with such participation on the same basis that existed just prior to any merger, consolidation, or change in control of the Company.
Executives are also permitted to participate in the Company’s other employee benefit plans on substantially the same terms as other employees. For example, the Company makes matching contributions to our 401(k) plan based on employee contributions, and executives receive the same benefit.
All amounts related to perquisites for NEOs are disclosed in column (i) of the Summary Compensation Table, along with details on their valuations.
Severance and Change in Control Benefits
The Company maintains severance agreements with all NEOs for the purpose of providing those executives with a degree of security and to mitigate concern that they might have regarding their continued employment prior to or following a change in control, thereby allowing the executive to focus their undivided attention to serving the interests of the Company and our shareholders. The Company believes that appropriate severance arrangements are necessary in order to attract and retain these key executives and are an important part of a competitive overall compensation program for the NEOs.
In the event of a change in control, the severance benefits are generally payable only upon a “double trigger,” meaning that severance benefits are triggered when an eligible executive is involuntarily terminated without cause by the Company or resigns for “good reason” within one year following a change in control. This “double trigger” provision was implemented to be consistent with good market practices. We believe this program encourages retention in the face of an actual or potential change in control and aligns executive and shareholder interests. Furthermore, the program allows top executives to review corporate transactions that are in the best interests of our shareholders without concern over whether the transactions may adversely impact the executive’s employment.
Per the terms of his employment agreement, Dr. London is entitled to severance benefits if he voluntarily terminates his employment for any reason within one year of a change in control; this term was negotiated in good faith with Dr. London in 2007 and was part of prior employment agreements, and the Compensation Committee has decided that new employment agreements will contain a “double trigger” provision as outlined in the preceding paragraph.
All stock granted since 2010 has provided for “double trigger” vesting acceleration in the event of a change in control, under which vesting accelerates only upon a change in control and involuntary termination without cause or resignation for good reason.
The following separation terms also apply to the company’s long-term incentive programs:
39
ExeCutive Compensation
|
terminated without cause is entitled to the same treatment as a non-grandfathered executive retiring at age 62 or older. Dr. London is the only grandfathered executive among the executive officers. |
|
LTIP: |
In the event of a change in control during the three year performance period, participants will receive payment for bonuses earned for completed fiscal years as well as for the annual bonus potential for the current fiscal year at the time the change in control event is legally consummated and binding (subject to IRS regulations or other laws/regulations). |
Calculations for various termination scenarios are included in the “Potential Payments on Termination or Change in Control” section of this proxy statement.
Retirement Plans
The Company offers a non-qualified deferred compensation plan in order to encourage employees to save for their retirement. Eligible employees, which include all NEOs except for Mr. Bradford, may elect to contribute up to 50% of their U.S. base salary and 100% of their U.S. bonuses and commissions to this plan on a pre-tax basis. The Company contributes 5% of all income over the compensation limit in IRC section 401(a)(17) to participants, subject to plan vesting conditions, and may make a supplemental discretionary contribution to a participant’s account in any amount it elects. No discretionary contributions were made in fiscal year 2016.
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans (SERP) have been provided to NEOs in the past to offset the loss of benefits from previous employers in order to acquire their services and are, therefore, consistent with the Company’s philosophy of attracting and retaining critical talent. Mr. Mengucci was offered a SERP as part of his employment offer, and it will become effective upon its finalization. The Company provides no other executive a SERP and does not anticipate doing so in the future.
Management Stock Purchase Plan
The Company offers a Management Stock Purchase Plan (MSPP) in order to promote the long-term growth and profitability of the Company by providing executives with incentives to improve shareholder value and to contribute to the growth and financial success of the Company, and enabling executives to meet their mandated stock ownership requirements. The Board believes that the MSPP serves these goals, encouraging executives to convert a higher percentage of their cash compensation into Company equity.
The MSPP provides for equity ownership in the Company by senior officers by allowing the voluntary deferral of up to 100% of the annual portion of their bonuses into RSUs. All deferred shares are bought at a discount of up to 15%, as determined annually by the Compensation Committee, of fair market value. The Company may grant matching awards in an amount not to exceed 25% of the participant’s deferrals and subject to such vesting or other restrictions or conditions as the Compensation Committee determines.
The amount of the discount to fair market value and matching grant is determined by the Compensation Committee no later than December 31st of the fiscal year in which the bonus is earned (or as otherwise specified in the MSPP for matching awards that qualify under IRC section 162(m)). During fiscal year 2016, the Compensation Committee approved a 15% discount with no matching.
The benefit provided from MSPP purchases for each NEO is listed in column (i) of the Summary Compensation Table.
The Compensation Committee maintains executive stock ownership requirements for its senior officers to focus those executives on the long-term growth in value of the Company and to ensure they act as owners of the Company. In
40
ExeCutive Compensation
fiscal year 2016, the Compensation Committee updated the Company’s stock ownership requirements to better align the ownership requirements with the Company’s stock price. The required levels had not been modified since fiscal 2010, and increases to the Company’s stock price since that time resulted in required multiples of salary higher than was the Compensation Committee’s intention.
The amended stock ownership requirements are based on a multiple of the executive’s salary as set forth below and the number of shares required to be held is determined annually based on the 90-day average stock price on July 1. The required multiple for each executive will be reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee to ensure that it provides enough incentive to properly align the interests of senior management with those of the our shareholders.
Based on the revised plan, the amount of shares required to be held by each of our NEOs as of July 1, 2016 and the multiple of each executive’s base salary is below. The Compensation Committee believes these salary multiples are robust and above comparable peer levels.

Until an executive meets the required number of shares, they are limited with respect to the number of shares they are allowed to sell, and are only allowed to sell one-half of the vested RSUs remaining after payment of taxes (standard practice is to sell a portion of shares that vest to cover the tax burden caused by the vesting); the other one-half that must be retained is used to determine the interim ownership requirement until the full number of shares is reached, with each successive vesting being added to the prior interim requirement in order to establish the new requirement.
Stockholdings are measured annually as of July 1st to determine compliance with the requirements, which are based upon the prior year’s level plus one-half of all vested restricted stock and/or restricted stock units after taxes are withheld since the prior July 1st. Only fully owned shares count in the measurement; unvested restricted stock and restricted stock units do not count, nor do any other unvested and/or unexercised instruments.
To encourage compliance, a noncompliant senior officer is required to participate in the MSPP with 100% of the annual portion of their annual bonus going toward the purchase of RSUs until such time that they meet the required holding level.
All NEOs are in compliance with their respective stock ownership requirements as of July 1, 2016.
We maintain a formal “clawback” policy for incentive awards that is broader in its reach than that imposed by Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX). The policy covers incentive awards to “officers” (as defined in Section 16 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934), and was adopted in fiscal 2010. Under the policy, in the event of a restatement of previously reported financial results, the Compensation Committee may require reimbursement of the incremental portion of incentive awards paid to executive officers in excess of the awards that should properly have been paid based on the restated financial results.
41
ExeCutive Compensation
By way of comparison, the clawback imposed by Section 304 of SOX (which applies to CACI) is limited to the CEO and CFO and is based on material noncompliance by the issuer, as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting obligation under the federal securities laws where such noncompliance requires the issuer to restate its financials. The SOX provision looks back one year and requires the issuer to recover all bonus or incentive-based or equity-based compensation paid to the CEO and CFO (in cases of misconduct). The Securities and Exchange Commission enforces Section 304; there is no private right of action.
The Compensation Committee is monitoring this policy to ensure that it is consistent with applicable laws, including emerging requirements under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
Impact of Regulatory Requirements
The Compensation Committee is regularly updated on changes in regulations affecting compensation and how they impact executive compensation. The Compensation Committee considers the requirements when making compensation decisions and ensures that Company compensation plans continue to meet such requirements.
Risk Assessment
The Company has a Chief Risk Officer and among his tasks are attending meetings of the Compensation Committee and performing an annual assessment of the Company’s overall compensation risk profile. The Compensation Committee also engages FW Cook to perform an independent risk assessment of the Company’s executive and non-executive compensation programs.
As a part of these risk assessments, the Chief Risk Officer and FW Cook have made the following findings about CACI’s compensation programs:
|
· |
the Board and the Compensation Committee exercise close oversight over the performance measures utilized by the Annual Incentive Plan and the Long-Term Incentive Plan, which in combination serve to balance short-term and long-term performance requirements, and enhance stockholder value; |
|
· |
the performance objectives of the plans are linked such that achievement of annual incentive plan measures serves to enhance the performance of the Company while also supporting the goals established for the long-term incentive plan; |
|
· |
the balance of total compensation is more heavily weighted to long-term incentives, and increasing the stock price over the long-term provides the maximum incentive value; and |
|
· |
the Company has a rigorous system of internal controls designed to prevent any individual employee from creating adverse material risk in pursuit of short- or long-term compensation. For example, the Board must approve all capital outlays of $10 million or more, as well as all acquisitions and divestitures of $5 million or more. |
Based on these analyses, the Compensation Committee believes that the compensation programs are appropriately structured to support a low risk profile and do not encourage inappropriate or excessive risk-taking.
42
The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016. Based upon such review and discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 be included in the Company’s proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The amounts reported in the Stock Awards column represent the aggregate grant date fair value of each restricted stock unit granted during such year, as computed in accordance with ASC 718. See Note 21 of the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 24, 2016. RSUs awarded to all NEOs during fiscal years 2014 - 2016, were in the form of performance-based RSUs. The grant date fair value of these awards was calculated using the Monte Carlo simulation method. Based on the Company’s performance during the year ended June 30, 2016 and the Company’s stock price for the 90 day period ended September 18, 2016 as compared to the stock price for the 90 day period ended September 18, 2015, the award is currently at 118% of the target award; if we achieve maximum performance conditions for this grant (100% increase in average stock price at grant), then the cash value of the resulting awards would be 420% of the amounts shown in the table. Based on the Company's performance during the year ended June 30, 2015 and the Company's stock price for the 90 day period ended September 23, 2016 and September 23, 2015 as compared to the stock price for the 90 day period ended September 23, 2014, the award is currently at 125% of the target award; if we achieve maximum performance conditions for this grant (100% increase in average stock price at grant), then the cash value of the resulting awards would be 344% of the amounts shown in the table. Based on the Company's performance during the year ended June 30, 2014 and the Company's stock price for the 90 day period ended September 13, 2014 as compared to the stock price for the 90 day period ended September 13, 2013, the final award was at 84.0% of the target award. Such actual award number of units is reflected in the Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End table. |

Amounts reported in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column represent performance-based incentive compensation earned in fiscal years 2016, 2015 or 2014. Mr. Mengucci's and Mr. Mutryn's Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation includes amounts earned under the LTIP that will be paid in August 2018. |

The term of each NEO’s severance agreement is one year with automatic one-year extensions thereafter (except for the agreement provided to the President and Chief Executive Officer which is three years with automatic one-year extensions thereafter), unless the Company provides written notice of the Company’s intent to amend the Company’s severance policy with respect to its senior executives and to apply the amended policy to the executive. In the event the Company provides such notice to the executive, agreements expire by their terms at the end of the full term year that begins on the next July 1st following the date such notice is received by the executive officer.
Per the terms of the agreements, each executive’s employment may be terminated by the Company without a separation payment of any kind in the event of death or a termination for cause as determined by the Board.
In the event of a termination by the Company for disability, the Company is generally required to provide 30 days’ notice, and pay any incentive compensation earned but unpaid as of the date of termination for any fiscal year prior to the year in which such termination occurs.
47
COMPENSATION TABLES
In the event of termination without cause by the Company or resignation for “good reason” by the executive, as defined in the agreements, the Company will pay a severance payment equal to a specified number of months of the executive’s base salary, prorated cash incentive compensation payments otherwise payable under the executive’s incentive compensation plan for the fiscal year of termination, and continued participation in the Company’s health care plan for a defined period of time. Further, for unvested stock grants made since September 1, 2013, the terms of the grant agreements entitle the recipient to receive a prorated portion of the unvested stock based upon the number of full months of service divided by the total vesting timeframe. When the executive’s resignation is not associated with a change in control, “good reason” is defined as (i) a material reduction in the executive’s total compensation and benefit opportunity (other than a reduction made by the Board, acting in good faith, based upon the performance of the executive, or to align the compensation and benefits of the executive with that of comparable executives, based on market data); or (ii) a substantial adverse alteration in the conditions of the executive’s employment.
In the event of a termination without cause or resignation for “good reason” within one year of the effective date of a change in control, the agreements provide that the Company will pay similar termination payments as in the preceding paragraph but require the executive’s base salary to be paid for a higher number of specified months and a specified payment based on the average incentive compensation earned by the executive for the five fiscal years immediately preceding the termination (except that in Dr. London’s case, he is also entitled to such termination payment if he voluntarily terminates his employment for any reason within one year of a change in control). Further, the terms of the grant agreements entitle the recipient to receive their unvested stock. In the event of a change in control, “good reason” is defined as (i) a substantial adverse alteration in the nature or status of the executive’s position or responsibilities from those in effect on the day before the change in control date; or (ii) a change in the geographic location of the executive’s job more than 50 miles from the place at which such job was based on the day before the change in control date.
The table below delineates the benefits upon a separation for each NEO in fiscal year 2016 under the scenarios as described above:

The agreements for Dr. London, Mr. Mutryn, and Mr. Bradford include partial protection against excise taxes payable under IRC section 280G in the event of termination only after a change in control (a one-time payment of two-thirds of the excise tax to the executive up to a limit of $500,000). Since these agreements were put in place in 2007, the Compensation Committee decided not to include this term in any new agreements, and it is therefore not included in the agreements with other executive officers.
The agreements also restrict each executive officer’s rights to compete with the Company or to offer employment to Company employees following termination.
No changes to existing agreements were made during fiscal year 2016.
Calculations for various termination scenarios are included in the “Potential Payments on Termination or Change in Control” section below.
48
COMPENSATION TABLES
Potential Payments on Termination or Change in Control
The table below reflects the amount of compensation payable to each NEO upon termination of employment under various termination scenarios. The tables show the amount of compensation payable to each NEO upon voluntary termination (other than for “good reason”) or retirement, upon termination by the Company without cause or by the NEO for “good reason” other than in connection with a change in control, and upon termination by the Company without cause or by the NEO for “good reason” following a change in control. The amounts shown assume, for illustrative purposes, that such termination was effective as of June 30, 2016 and therefore include amounts earned through such date, and are estimates of the amounts which would be paid to the NEOs upon termination. The actual amounts to be paid can be determined only at the time of the actual separation from the Company.

Assumes that the executive officer resigned for “good reason” or was terminated without cause within one year of a change in control. Dr. London is entitled to this payment if he voluntarily terminates his employment for any reason within one year of a change in control. |
(2) |
For the Separation Payment following a Change in Control, includes incentive plan amounts earned but not yet paid for fiscal year 2016. For Mr. Mengucci and Mr. Mutryn, this also includes the annual bonus potential for the 2014, 2015 and 2016 LTIP, in accordance with the terms of those plans. |
(3) |
Assumes that Dr. London is entitled to receive lifetime medical benefits as previously described, and that Messrs. Asbury, Mengucci, and Mutryn are entitled to receive continuation of health benefits following the date of separation for reasons other than voluntary termination or retirement. For Dr. London, the table value therefore represents the present value (using a discount rate of 2.48%) of continued current medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage less the estimated portion of the cost, plus the amount required to cover all estimated applicable local, state and federal income and payroll taxes imposed with respect to such payments over Dr. London’s expected life span (based upon IRS Life Expectancy Tables). For Messrs. Asbury, Mengucci, and Mutryn, the table value represents the total values of continued current medical, dental, and vision insurance coverage over the duration of the coverage period, less the executive’s current portion of the cost, plus the amount required to cover all estimated applicable local, state and federal income and payroll taxes imposed with respect to such payment. Mr. Bradford is not entitled to continued benefits under his severance agreement. |
(4) |
Represents the value of monies deferred into the non-qualified retirement plan during employment, plus investment gains and losses, that would be payable upon termination. |
(5) |
Represents the value of all Company contributions paid into the non-qualified retirement plan on behalf of the executive officer during employment that would be payable upon termination. |
(6) |
Based on the number of RSUs that would vest multiplied by the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock as of June 30, 2016. All equity awards to executive officers would vest upon separation in connection with a change in control. For the performance-based grants made in September 2014 and September 2015, the maximum number of RSUs would result upon a change in control. Mr. Mutryn would also receive the value of cash contributed to the MSPP plus interest upon a voluntary termination or retirement. |
(7) |
As described above under “Employment and Severance Agreements,” certain executive officers are entitled to partial protection against IRC section 280G excise taxes in the event of termination after a change in control. Specifically, their severance agreements provide for a one-time payment to the executive equal to the lesser of two-thirds of the excise tax to the executive and $500,000. Based on the assumptions used in the preparation of the table, no payments would be due to the executives under this termination scenario. |

Equity grants are made in the form of RSUs expressed as a dollar value, in an amount established from time to time by the Compensation Committee. Such RSU awards are made on the date of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders at which time such election occurs, based on the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on that date. Under the Company’s Director Stock Purchase Plan (DSPP), Directors may also elect to receive RSUs in lieu of up to one hundred percent of their annual retainer, with such election to be made prior to the commencement of the effective calendar year. The number of issued RSUs is based on the fair market value of the stock on the date of purchase. |
(2) |
The base number of meetings for the Board and each applicable committee is up to 4 meetings per Fiscal Year. |
(3) |
Members of the Executive Committee are compensated on a per meeting basis. |
Dr. London and Mr. Asbury received no separate compensation for their service as directors, except that they were eligible to be reimbursed for incurred expenses associated with attending meetings of the Board and its committees, such as when meetings were conducted at offsite locations.

The amounts represent the aggregate grant date fair value computed in accordance with ASC 718 for awards of stock in fiscal year 2016 under the terms of the Company's 2006 Stock Incentive Plan. The grant date fair value per share is the closing price for the Company's stock on the November 19, 2015 grant date ($97.58). For fiscal year 2016, the Company awarded 1,230 RSUs to Directors Daniels, Gilmore, Jews, Johnson, Pavitt, Phillips, Revoile, and Wallace with a grant date fair value of $120,023 each. The outstanding number of RSUs awarded to each director as of June 30, 2016 was as follows: Daniels, 615; Gilmore, 615; Jews, 615; Johnson, 615; Pavitt, 615; Phillips, 615; Revoile, 615; Wallace, 615. |
The Committee has also adopted stock ownership requirements for outside members of the Board to align the interest of shareholders and directors. The requirement is based on five times the value of their Annual Retainer, converted annually to a whole number of shares based on the 90-day average price of CACI stock. Stockholdings are measured annually as of December 1st to determine compliance with the plan. The requirement is based upon the prior year’s level plus one-half of all vested restricted stock units. Only fully owned shares count in the measurement; unvested restricted stock units do not count, nor do any other unvested and/or unexercised instruments. The penalty for non-compliance is that the Director is required to participate in the DSPP with 100 percent of his earned Annual Retainer and committee fees going toward the quarterly purchase of CACI stock, until such time as he meets the required holding level.
For the compliance checkpoint on December 1, 2015, this requirement translated into a requirement to hold 3,275 fully owned shares. The required ownership level will continue to be reviewed annually by the Committee to ensure that it provides enough incentive to properly align the interests of the outside directors with those of the Company’s shareholders. Until the Director holds the required number of shares, he is limited with respect to the number of shares he is allowed to sell, and is only allowed to sell one-half of vested RSUs for the purpose of covering the tax burden caused by the vesting; the other one-half that must be retained is used to determine the interim ownership requirement until the full number of shares is reached, with each successive vesting being added to the prior interim requirement in order to establish the new requirement. All outside directors currently meet their required stock ownership requirement.

Warren R. Phillips |
Ken Asbury(1) |
(1) |
Under his employment agreement, if Mr. Asbury no longer serves as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, terminates his employment for any reason or provides notice to the Company regarding such a termination, he would resign from the Board. |
Unless instructed otherwise, the persons named in the accompanying proxy will vote the shares of common stock represented by the proxy FOR the election of the ten nominees listed above. In the event that any nominee becomes unavailable or unwilling to serve a as member of our Board, the proxy holders will vote in their discretion for a substitute nominee.
You can find more information about the leadership skills and other experiences that caused the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board to determine these nominees should serve as directors under “Board of Directors” on page 5 of this proxy statement. Information about are nominating procedures and other corporate governance maters can be found under “Corporate Governance” on page 11 of this proxy statement.
Required Vote
A majority of the votes properly cast for a director nominee is sufficient to elect such director. Broker non-votes will not be counted in evaluating the results of the vote. Under current NYSE interpretations, abstentions will be counted as votes cast and thus an abstention will have the effect of a vote against a director nominee.
The election of directors is deemed a non-routine matter under NYSE rules and a beneficial owner’s nominee will not be able to vote on the election of directors without instructions. We encourage all beneficial owners to provide voting instructions to such parties to ensure that their shares are voted at the Annual Meeting.
CACI Recommendation
Our Board recommends a vote “FOR” the election to the Board of each of the above mentioned nominees.
55
MANAGEMENT PROPOSALS
In accordance with Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we provide our shareholders with the opportunity to vote to approve, on a nonbinding, advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers, as described in this proxy statement. While this vote is advisory, it will provide information to our Compensation Committee regarding investor sentiment about our compensation principles and objectives. We urge you to read the Compensation Discussion and Analysis beginning on page 22, compensation tables and related narratives appearing in this proxy statement for more information regarding the compensation of our named executive officers.
The vote on this resolution is not intended to address any specific element of compensation; rather, the vote relates to the philosophy and structure of our compensation program for our named executive officers as well as the overall compensation of those officers, as described in this proxy statement in accordance with the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The vote is advisory, which means that the vote is not binding on the Company, our Board or the Compensation Committee. To the extent there is any significant vote against our named executive officer compensation as disclosed in this proxy statement, the Compensation Committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address the concerns of shareholders.
Our Board and our Compensation Committee value the opinions of our shareholders. At the 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, our shareholders approved our fiscal year 2015 named executive officers’ compensation, as disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and compensation tables, as well as the other narrative executive compensation disclosures contained in the definitive proxy statement for our 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Our shareholders approved the resolution on executive compensation with over 98% of shares being cast in favor of our executive compensation. Accordingly, we ask our shareholders to vote on the following resolution at the Annual Meeting:
“RESOLVED, that the Company’s shareholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to the company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion.”
Required Vote
On this non-binding matter, a majority of the votes properly cast on this matter is necessary for the matter to be approved. Broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast, but under current NYSE interpretations, abstentions will be counted as votes cast and thus an abstention will have the effect of a vote against the proposal.
Shareholder’s advisory vote on executive compensation is deemed a non-routine matter under NYSE rules and a beneficial owner’s nominee will not be able to vote on executive compensation without instructions. We encourage all beneficial owners to provide voting instructions to such parties to ensure that their shares are voted at the Annual Meeting.
CACI Recommendation
The Board recommends a vote FOR the approval of the compensation of our named executive officers, as disclosed in this proxy statement.
56
MANAGEMENT PROPOSALS
On September 20, 2016, the Compensation Committee approved an amendment and restatement (the “2016 Amendment”) of the CACI International Inc 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) which was originally adopted by the Board on August 16, 2006 and was approved by shareholders at the 2006 Annual Meeting and was subsequently amended and restated with approval of the shareholders in 2008, 2009 and 2011.
Proposed Amendments to the Plan
The primary purposes of the 2016 Amendment are to:
|
· |
Extend the term of the Plan for an additional ten year period following shareholder approval of the 2016 Amendment; |
|
· |
Reset the number of shares of Common Stock available for grant under the Plan to a total of 1,200,000 shares as of the Effective Date of the 2016 Amendment, all of which would be available to grant in the form of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units or Unrestricted Stock (“Full Value Awards”). The effect of such amendment will be to allow for an additional 900,000 shares to be issued in the form of Full Value Awards while reducing the total shares available for grant under the Plan by approximately 1,700,000 shares; |
|
· |
Limit potential awards to non-employee directors under the Plan; and |
|
· |
Allow for cash-based awards under the Plan. |
In addition, the 2016 Amendment makes certain additional clarifying and other changes to the terms of the Plan. The Board believes that the 2016 Amendment, including the authority to grant no more than 1,200,000 shares in the form of Full Value Awards after the Effective Date will benefit the Company and its shareholders by allowing the Company to continue to achieve the objectives of the Plan: (i) to increase the stake of key employees and executives in the success of the Company; (ii) to align the interests of awardees under the Plan with the interests of the shareholders; (iii) to keep pace with the increase in number of Company employees due to both the Company’s internal growth and outside acquisition activities; and (iv) to aid the Company in its efforts to recruit and retain highly qualified individuals. The Board believes that the grant of awards under the Plan will not result in an unacceptable level of dilution to the interests of public stockholders and that the Company’s financial performance and the resulting performance of the Common Stock indicate that the benefits of the Plan could more than offset any such potential dilution.
We are asking shareholders to approve the Plan in the form included at the end of this proxy statement as Appendix A. Below is a description of the material features of the Plan, as amended and restated. The summary and description do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan, which is attached to this proxy statement as Appendix A and incorporated herein by reference. Stockholders are encouraged to read the text of the Plan in its entirety.
Summary Description of the Plan
Purpose
The Plan is designed to promote the long-term growth and profitability of the Company by (i) providing directors and employees with incentives to improve shareholder value and to contribute to the growth and financial success of the Company; and (ii) enabling the Company to attract, retain and reward key employees.
57
MANAGEMENT PROPOSALS
The Plan will authorize the grant of (i) incentive stock options, or options to purchase our common stock intended to qualify as incentive stock options, as defined in section 422 of the IRC; (ii) options that do not so qualify, known as nonqualified stock options; (iii) shares of stock at no cost or at a purchase price set by the Compensation Committee, subject to restrictions and conditions determined by the Compensation Committee, referred to in this proxy statement as restricted stock; (iv) unrestricted shares of stock at prices set by the Compensation Committee, referred to in this proxy statement as unrestricted stock; (v) rights to acquire shares of our common stock upon the terms and conditions stated in the Plan, known as restricted stock units (RSUs); (vi) rights to receive cash payments based on or measured by appreciation in the market price of the Company’s common stock, referred to in this proxy statement as stock appreciation rights; (vii) rights to receive payment in shares of Company stock based on or measured by appreciation in the market price of the Company’s common stock, referred to in this proxy statement as stock settled stock appreciation rights (SSARs); (viii) cash based incentive compensation and (ix) performance awards, or awards that can be in the form of incentive and non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, RSUs, stock appreciation rights, SSARs, cash awards and/or unrestricted stock and that are conditioned on the attainment of specified performance measures, referred to in this proxy statement as performance awards.
Shares Subject to the Plan; Limitations
The total number of shares available under the Plan will consist of 1,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (subject to adjustment upon certain changes in the capitalization of the Company) all of which may be awarded in the form of Full Value Awards. No covered employee (generally, the Chief Executive Officer and the four highest paid executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer) may be granted awards under the Plan with respect to more than 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in any calendar year and non-employee directors may not receive awards under the Plan with a fair market value greater than $600,000 in any calendar year. Vesting of awards must take a minimum of one year. Awards may also become fully vested upon a change in control of the Company, disability, death, or retirement on or after age 65.
Eligibility
Employees and non-employee directors of the Company and its affiliates are eligible for awards under the Plan. Participation in the Plan is at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. As of September 19, 2016, approximately 500 individuals participated in the Plan.
Administration
The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee, which also has the power to delegate responsibility. The Compensation Committee will review the individuals to whom awards will be granted and will determine the terms of each award, subject to the provisions of the Plan.
Terms of Awards
No options may extend for more than ten years from the date of grant (five years in the case of an incentive stock option recipient who owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any parent or subsidiary, referred to as greater-than-ten-percent-stockholders). The exercise price of any options granted under the Plan must be at least equal to the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant (110% of fair market value in the case of incentive stock options of a greater-than-ten-percent-stockholder). The aggregate fair market value (determined at the time of grant) of shares issuable pursuant to incentive stock options which first become exercisable by an employee or officer (non-employee directors are not eligible to receive incentive stock options) in any calendar year may not exceed $100,000. The Company cannot reprice previously granted awards without obtaining stockholder approval. In addition, upon the granting by the Compensation Committee of stock appreciation rights or SSARs, all shares underlying the grant of stock appreciation rights or SSARs (not just those shares paid to the executive upon exercise of the stock appreciation right or SSAR) will be unavailable for further grants.
58
MANAGEMENT PROPOSALS
Incentive stock options are non-transferable except by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and are exercisable, during the recipient’s lifetime, only by the recipient. Awards other than incentive stock options may be transferable, with the Compensation Committee’s permission, by gift or domestic relations order to members of the recipient’s family or a trust or other entity established for such family members. Incentive stock options generally may not be exercised after (i) termination of the recipient’s employment by the Company for cause; (ii) ninety days after termination of the recipient’s employment by the Company without cause or by the recipient voluntarily, including retirement in accordance with the Company’s policy; (iii) one year following the recipient’s termination of employment with the Company by reason of disability; and (iv) two years following a recipient’s death if the recipient’s death occurs prior to termination of employment with the Company. The terms and conditions of all other awards, if any, are determined by the Compensation Committee in connection with each grant.
Amendment and Termination
The Board may amend or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time without further approval of the Company’s shareholders unless such amendment would (i) increase the number of shares of stock subject to the Plan; (ii) require shareholder approval under the terms of the Plan; or (iii) require shareholder approval to comply with any tax or regulatory requirement or rule of any national securities exchange upon which the Company’s stock is listed or quoted. The Compensation Committee may make minor or administrative amendments to the Plan and amendments that may be dictated by requirements of U.S. federal or state laws applicable to the Company or that may be authorized or made desirable by such laws. Neither the Plan nor any award made thereunder may be amended in a manner that would materially adversely affect any outstanding award previously made without the approval of the participant.
New Plan Benefits
The specific amounts of benefits payable in the future to participants in the Plan are not fully determinable because the amounts of the grants of such awards have not been established. The Company generally makes an annual grant in September of each year to its eligible employees and makes an annual grant in November of each year to its non-employee directors in connection with the Annual Meeting. The following chart is based on an estimate of the grants awarded in September 2016 to eligible employees and an estimate of the amount to be awarded in November 2016 to non-employee directors. The actual values were not determinable as of September 30, 2016.

Amounts represent the estimated grant date fair value of RSUs awarded in September 2016 in the case of eligible employees or to be awarded in November 2016 in the case of non-employee directors. In the case of grants to eligible employees, the amounts were determined by multiplying the number of units estimated to be awarded at target by the value derived under an initial Monte Carlo Simulation Method as of September 12, 2016. In the case of grants to be awarded to non-employee directors, the dollar value to be granted to each non-employee director was approved by the Compensation Committee on March 16, 2016. The estimated number of units was determined by dividing the dollar value by the closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the NYSE on September 12, 2016. |

MANAGEMENT PROPOSALS
Federal Income Tax Information With Respect To the Plan
Nonqualified Stock Options
A nonqualified stock option results in no taxable income to the optionee or deduction to the Company at the time of grant. An optionee exercising a non-qualified option will, at that time, realize taxable compensation in the amount of the difference between the then market value of the underlying shares of the Company’s common stock on the exercise date and the option exercise price. Subject to the applicable provisions of the Code, a deduction for federal income tax purposes will be allowable to the Company in the year of exercise in an amount equal to the taxable compensation realized by the optionee.
The optionee’s basis in shares relating to non-qualified stock option awards is equal to the sum of the option price plus the amount includible in his or her income as compensation upon exercise. Any gain (or loss) upon subsequent disposition of the shares will be a long-term or short-term gain (or loss), depending upon the holding period of the shares.
Incentive Stock Options
An incentive stock option results in no taxable income to the optionee or deduction for the Company at the time it is granted or exercised (although the exercise of the option may affect the optionee’s alternative minimum tax consequences as described below). If the optionee holds the stock received as a result of an exercise of an incentive stock option for at least two years from the date of the grant and one year from the date of exercise, then the gain realized on disposition of the stock is treated as a long-term capital gain. If the shares are disposed of prior to the end of this period, however, (a “disqualifying disposition”), then all or part of the optionee’s gain will be taxed as ordinary income, and the Company will be entitled to a deduction, in the year of the disposition, for the amount includible in the optionee’s income as ordinary income. The optionee’s basis in the shares acquired upon exercise of an incentive stock option is equal to the option price paid.
In connection with the sale of shares covered by incentive stock options, the Company is allowed a deduction for tax purposes only to the extent, and at the time, the option holder receives ordinary income (for example, by reason of the “disqualifying disposition” of shares by the holder of an incentive stock option within two years after the date of the grant or one year after the exercise of the incentive stock option), subject to certain limitations on the deductibility of compensation paid to executives.
Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units
No income will be recognized at the time of grant by the recipient of a restricted stock or restricted stock unit if the award is subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture during the Restricted Period. Generally, at the time the substantial risk of forfeiture terminates with respect to the award, the then fair market value of the stock will constitute ordinary income to the participant. Subject to the applicable provisions of the Code, a deduction for federal income tax purposes will be allowable to the Company in an amount equal to the compensation realized by the participant.
Cash-based Awards
A participant generally will not recognize taxable income upon the receipt of a cash-based incentive award. The participant, however, will recognize ordinary income when the participant receives payment of cash and/or shares of common stock for the award. The amount included in the participant’s income will equal the amount of cash and the fair market value of the shares of common stock received. Subject to the applicable provisions of the Code, the Company generally will be entitled to a corresponding tax deduction at the time the participant recognizes ordinary income with respect to cash-based incentive awards.
Section 162(m)
Any entitlement to a tax deduction on the part of the Company or its subsidiaries is subject to the applicable tax rules, including, without limitation, Section 162(m) of the Code. In general, Section 162(m) of the Code denies a publicly
60
MANAGEMENT PROPOSALS
held corporation a deduction for federal income tax purposes for compensation in excess of $1 million per year per person to its “covered employees,” subject to certain exceptions. The Plan contains provisions which would permit the grant of certain awards that qualify for the “performance-based compensation” exception under Section 162(m) of the Code.
Because the amount of ordinary income the participant recognizes with respect to the receipt or exercise of an award may be treated as compensation that is subject to applicable withholding of federal, state and local income taxes and employment taxes, the Company may require the participant to pay the amount required to be withheld by the Company before delivering to the participant any shares or other payment to be received under the Plan. Arrangements for payment may include deducting the amount of any withholding or other tax due from the award itself or from other compensation, including salary or bonus, otherwise payable to the participant.
Required Vote
A majority of the votes properly cast on this matter is necessary for the matter to be approved. Broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast, but under current NYSE interpretations, abstentions will be counted as votes cast and thus an abstention will have the effect of a vote against the proposal.
The approval of an incentive plan is deemed a non-routine matter under NYSE rules and a beneficial owner’s nominee will not be able to vote on executive compensation without instructions. We encourage all beneficial owners to provide voting instructions to such parties to ensure that their shares are voted at the Annual Meeting.
CACI Recommendation
The Board recommends a vote FOR the approval of the 2016 Amended and Restated Incentive Compensation Plan.

MANAGEMENT PROPOSALS
Ernst & Young LLP currently serves as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, and that firm conducted the audit of the Company’s accounts for fiscal year 2016. The Audit Committee has appointed Ernst & Young LLP to serve as independent registered public accounting firm to conduct an audit of the Company’s accounts for fiscal year 2017.
Selection of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is not required to be submitted to a vote of the shareholders of the Company for ratification. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires the Audit Committee to be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the audit work of the independent registered public accounting firm. However, the Board of Directors is submitting this matter to the shareholders as a matter of good corporate practice.
Representatives of Ernst & Young LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. They will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.
Required Vote
A majority of the votes properly cast on this matter is necessary for the matter to be approved. Because this is a “routine matter” under NYSE rules, a beneficial owner’s nominee, such as a broker, may vote on the ratification of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm without instruction from their beneficial owners. Any broker non-vote will not be treated as a vote cast. Under current NYSE interpretations, votes to abstain will be counted as votes cast and thus an abstention will have the effect of a vote against the proposal. If the shareholders fail to vote in favor of the selection, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether to retain Ernst & Young LLP and may retain that firm or another without re-submitting the matter to the Company’s shareholders. Even if shareholders vote in favor of the appointment, on an advisory basis, the Audit Committee may, in its discretion, direct the appointment of different independent auditors at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and the shareholders.
CACI Recommendation
The Board recommends that shareholders vote FOR ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2017.

ANNUAL MEETING INFORMATION
All shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 19, 2016 may vote at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement of the Annual Meeting.
As of the Record Date, there were 24,371,914 shares of common stock outstanding. A complete list of shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available for examination from November 12, 2016 through November 16, 2016 for any purposed related to the Annual Meeting.
Shareholder of Record or Beneficial Owner
If your shares are registered directly with Computershare, N.A., our transfer agent, then you are the “shareholder of record” of the shares. If your shares are held in an account at a broker, bank, trust or other similar organization, then you are a “beneficial owner” of the shares. Most of our shareholders are beneficial owners of their shares
There are several distinctions in how shareholders receive information and vote their shares that you should be aware of and we have described such differences in the proxy materials.
Voting at the Annual Meeting
Shareholders of record can receive a ballot and vote when they arrive at the Annual Meeting. Beneficial owners must obtain a legal proxy from the organization that holds your shares prior to voting at the Annual Meeting.
Via the Internet. You may submit a proxy or voting instructions over the Internet by going to www.proxyvote.com.
By Telephone. You may submit a proxy or voting instructions over by telephone by calling 1-800-690-6903 and following the instructions.
By Mail. If you received your proxy materials by mail, you may vote by proxy by filling out the proxy card and sending it back in the envelope provided.
Note that shares represented by properly signed and returned proxies will be voted in accordance with their instructions. In the absence of any instructions, properly signed and returned proxies will be voted in accordance with management’s recommendations.
Changing your Vote
You may change your vote at any time prior to the taking of the vote at the Annual Meeting by:
|
· |
submitting a new proxy or voting instructions at a later date; |
|
· |
providing a written notice of revocation to the Company’s Secretary, if you are a registered shareholder; or |
|
· |
attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person after following the voting procedures outlined above. |
Note that beneficial owners must follow your nominee’s instructions to revoke your proxy or vote at the Annual Meeting and, for both shareholders of record and beneficial owners, attendance at the Annual Meeting will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless you specifically so request or vote in person at the Annual Meeting.
64
ANNUAL MEETING INFORMATION
Vote Standard
In order to pass, a proposal must receive a majority of votes properly cast for that proposal. Under current NYSE interpretations, abstentions will count as votes cast, but broker non-votes will not count as votes cast. Brokers and other nominees are permitted under NYSE rules to vote on Proposal 4 without obtaining instructions from their beneficial owners. However, they are not permitted to vote without instruction regarding either the election of directors or Proposals 2 and 3.
Quorum
The presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. Both abstentions and broker non-votes (described below) are counted for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.
Broker Non-Votes and Abstentions
Broker non-votes occur when a broker is not permitted to vote on a matter because a beneficial owner has not provided instructions. These matters are referred to as “non-routine” matters. All of the matters scheduled to be voted on at the Annual Meeting are “non-routine,” except for the proposal to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year 2017. In tabulating the voting result for any particular proposal, shares that constitute broker non-votes are not considered voting power present with respect to that proposal. Thus, broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of any matter being voted on at the Annual Meeting.
Abstentions are considered voting power present at the Annual Meeting and are considered votes cast and thus will be treated as votes against any matter being voted on at the Annual Meeting.
Additional Matters
We are not aware of any other business to be presented at the Annual Meeting. If you grant a proxy, the persons named as proxy holders will have the discretion to vote your shares on any additional matters properly presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting. If, for any reason, any of the nominees is not available as a candidate for director, the persons named as proxy holders will vote your proxy for such other candidate or candidates as may be nominated by the Board.
Attendance at the Annual Meeting is limited to shareholders as of September 19, 2016, whether shares are held in “street name” or are “beneficially owned.” In order to be admitted to the Annual Meeting, you must present:
|
1. |
a valid photo identification or other satisfactory proof of identification; |
|
2. |
and sufficient proof of ownership or authorization, which may take the form of the proxy card for shareholders of record, a recent brokerage statement or letter from a bank or broker for beneficial owners or a letter from a shareholder certifying your status as an authorized representative. |
65
ANNUAL MEETING INFORMATION
Cameras, including cell phones or other devices with photographic capabilities, and any other video or audio recording devices, are not permitted to be used at the Annual Meeting. Please refrain from use of cell phones at the Annual Meeting as well.
Voting Results
We will announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting and publish final voting results on the Investor Relations section of our website at www.caci.com. We will also disclose the final voting results in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC within four business days of the Annual Meeting.
Householding
We have adopted a procedure, approved by the SEC, called “householding.” Under this procedure, we deliver a single copy of the Notice and, if applicable, the proxy materials to multiple shareholders at the same address, unless we have previously received contrary instructions from one or more shareholders. We will promptly deliver a separate copy of any of these materials to a shareholder upon written or oral request to: CACI International Inc, 1100 North Glebe Road, Arlington, Virginia 22201, Attn: J. William Koegel, Jr., Corporate Secretary, telephone 703-841-7800.
Shareholders who hold shares in street name (as described above) may contact their bank, broker or other nominee record holder to request information about householding.
Solicitation
We will bear the costs of soliciting proxies for the Annual Meeting and have retained Morrow & Co., LLC to assist in soliciting proxies at a fee not to exceed $8,500, plus expenses. We may also reimburse banks, brokers, nominees, and other fiduciaries for postage and reasonable clerical expenses incurred by them in forwarding the proxy material to their principals. Proxies also may be solicited without extra compensation by certain officers, directors and other employees of the Company, by telephone or telegraph, by personal contact, or by other means.
Shareholder Proposals for 2017 Annual Meeting
Proposals for the 2017 Proxy Statement: Shareholders may present proposals for inclusion in our proxy statement and for consideration at the 2017 Annual Meeting by submitting their proposals in writing to the Company’s Secretary in a timely manner. For a shareholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement for our 2017 Annual Meeting, the Company’s Secretary must receive the written proposal no later than June 8, 2017. If we hold our 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders more than 30 days before or after November 17, 2017, we will disclose the new deadline by which shareholder proposals must be received. In addition, shareholder proposals must also comply with all requirements and regulations of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.
Proposals for the 2017 Annual Meeting: Shareholders who wish to present a proposal for consideration at the 2017 Annual Meeting, but do not intend for the proposal to be included in our proxy statement, must follow the advanced notice provisions of our By-laws. Our By-laws require that such proposals be delivered to the Company’s Secretary in a timely manner and contain information related to the shareholder and proposal. For a shareholder proposal to be considered timely, the Company’s Secretary must receive the written proposal at no later than June 20, 2017.
Nominations of Director Candidates: Shareholders may propose Board nominees for consideration by our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. Any such recommendations should include the nominee’s name and qualifications for membership on our Board and should be directed to the Company’s Secretary. In addition, shareholders
66

subject to the provisions of Section 409A, modify, extend or renew outstanding Awards, accept the surrender of outstanding Awards and substitute new Awards, provided that no such action shall be taken with respect to any outstanding Award that would materially, adversely affect the Participant without the Participant’s consent, or constitute a Repricing of an Option without the approval of the holders of the Company’s voting securities, |
|
vi. |
establish sub-plans (which may be included as appendices to the Plan or the respective Grant Agreements), which may constitute separate programs, for the purpose of establishing programs which meet any special tax or regulatory requirements of jurisdictions other than the United States and its subdivisions, |
|
vii. |
to the extent permitted by applicable law, delegate certain of the Committee’s duties and powers hereunder to the Chief Executive Officer and/or to other senior officers of the Company, |
|
viii. |
subject to the provisions of Section 4(c) and to the provisions of Section 409A, accelerate the time in which an Award may be exercised or in which an Award becomes payable and waive or accelerate the lapse, in whole or in part, of any restriction or condition with respect to an Award, and |
|
ix. |
establish objectives and conditions, including targets for Performance Measures, if any, for earning Awards and determining whether Awards will be paid after the end of a Performance Period. |
The Committee shall have full power and authority to administer, interpret, reconcile any inconsistency, correct any defect and/or supply any omission in the Plan or any Award or make any other determination and take any other action that it determines in its sole discretion to be necessary for the administration of this Plan or any Award and to adopt such rules, regulations, agreements, guidelines and instruments for the administration of the Plan as the Committee deems necessary, desirable or appropriate in accordance with the Bylaws of the Company.
(b)Indemnification. To the maximum extent permitted by law, no member of the Board or Committee or a Committee Delegate shall be liable for any action taken or decision made in good faith relating to the Plan or any Award thereunder and the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each member of the Board, each member of the Committee and any Committee Delegate against any liability, obligation, cost or expense incurred by that person arising out of any act or omission to act in connection with the Plan or any Award if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
A-4
APPENDIX A
to the best interest of the Company. Such indemnification shall be in accordance with the procedures and terms and conditions set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the Company as in effect from time to time. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise.
(c)Effect of Committee’s Decision. All actions taken and decisions and determinations made by the Committee or a Committee Delegate on all matters relating to the Plan pursuant to the powers vested in it hereunder shall be in the Committee’s or Committee Delegate’s sole and absolute discretion and shall be conclusive and binding on all parties concerned, including the Company, its stockholders, any Participants in the Plan and any other employee of the Company, and their respective successors in interest.
(a)Stock Available Under the Plan. Subject to adjustments as provided in Section 14 of the Plan, the Stock that may be delivered or purchased with respect to Awards granted under the Plan on or after the Effective Date, including with respect to Incentive Stock Options, shall not exceed an aggregate of one million two hundred thousand (1,200,000) shares of Stock, plus shares of Stock subject to any previously issued awards to the extent any such award, or portion of an award becomes available for future grants pursuant to Section 4(b) of the Plan. The Company shall reserve said number of shares of Stock for Awards under the Plan, subject to adjustments as provided in Section 14 of the Plan.
(b)Shares Available for Future Grants. If any Award, or portion of an Award, issued under the Plan expires, terminates unexercised, becomes unexercisable, is forfeited, terminated, surrendered or canceled without the delivery by the Company (or, in the case of Restricted Stock, without vesting) of Stock or other consideration or settled in cash, the Stock subject to such Award shall thereafter be available for further Awards under the Plan. In the case of a Stock Appreciation Right, the difference between the number of shares of Stock covered by the exercised portion of the SAR and the number of shares of Stock actually delivered upon exercise shall not be restored or available for future issuance under the Plan.
(c)Source of Stock. Stock available under the Plan may be, in any combination, (i) authorized but unissued shares of Stock, (ii) shares of Stock that are reacquired by the Company and held as treasury shares, and/or (iii) shares of Stock purchased on the open market by a broker designated by the Company and, subject to the requirements of Section 21, immediately thereafter issued for the benefit of a Participant under the Plan. It is intended that a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, shall be effective with respect to the shares of Stock issued under the Plan.
(d)Maximum Awards. The maximum number of shares of Stock subject to Awards that may be granted during any one calendar year to any Participant shall be limited to three hundred thousand (300,000). To the extent required by Section 162(m) of the Code and so long as Section 162(m) of the Code is applicable to persons eligible to participate in the Plan, shares of Stock subject to the foregoing maximum with respect to which the related Award is terminated, surrendered or canceled shall nonetheless continue to be taken into account with respect to such maximum for the calendar year in which granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Non-Employee Directors may not be granted Awards during any one calendar year that would exceed a Fair Market Value of six hundred thousand dollars ($600,000).
(e)Limitation on Full Value Awards. In no event shall the Committee on or after the Effective Date grant Stock Awards of more than one million two hundred thousand (1,200,000) shares of Stock under the Plan. Shares of Stock subject to a Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Unit Award which are forfeited by and/or not issued to the Participant as a result of full or partial forfeiture of the Award shall not count towards the limit in the preceding sentence.
(f)Substitute Awards. The Committee may grant Awards under the Plan in substitution for stock and stock based awards held by employees of another corporation who concurrently become employees of the Company or an Affiliate as the result of a merger or consolidation of the employing corporation with the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate or the acquisition by the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of property or stock of the employing corporation. The Committee may direct that the substitute awards be granted on such terms and conditions as the Committee considers appropriate in the circumstances. Shares which may be delivered under such substitute awards may be in addition to the maximum number of shares provided for in Section 4(a) and 4(c), provided that said additional shares shall not exceed five hundred thousand (500,000) in the aggregate over the term of the Plan.
A-5
APPENDIX A
Participation in the Plan shall be open to all Employees and Non-Employee Directors as may be selected by the Committee from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, participation in the Plan with respect to Awards of Incentive Stock Options shall be limited to Employees.
Awards may be granted to such Participants and for or with respect to such number of shares of Stock as the Committee shall determine, subject to the limitations in Section 4 of the Plan. A grant of any type of Award made in any one year to a Participant shall neither guarantee nor preclude a further grant of that or any other type of Award to such person in that year or subsequent years.
Subject to the other applicable provisions of the Plan, Awards of Options shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
(a)Grant of Option. The grant of an Option shall be evidenced by a Grant Agreement, executed by the Company and the Participant, stating the number of shares of Stock subject to the Option evidenced thereby, the exercise price and the terms and conditions of such Option, in such form as the Committee may from time to time determine.
(b)Exercise Price. The price per share payable upon the exercise of each Option shall be determined by the Committee but shall be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the Grant Date.
(c)Payment. Options may be exercised in whole or in part by payment of the exercise price of the Stock to be acquired in accordance with the provisions of the Grant Agreement, and/or such rules and regulations as the Committee may have prescribed, and/or such determinations, orders, or decisions as the Committee may have made.
Payment may be made in cash (or cash equivalents acceptable to the Committee) or, if provided in the Grant Agreement and permitted by applicable law, in shares of Stock which have been held by Participant or which would otherwise be issuable to Participant on exercise, or a combination of cash and such Stock, or by such other means as the Committee may prescribe. The Fair Market Value of Stock delivered on exercise of Options shall be determined as of the date of exercise.
The Committee, subject to such limitations as it may determine, may authorize payment of the exercise price, in whole or in part, by delivery of a properly executed exercise notice, together with irrevocable instructions, to: (i) a brokerage firm to deliver promptly to the Company the aggregate amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the exercise price and any withholding tax obligations that may arise in connection with the exercise, and (ii) the Company to deliver the certificates for such purchased Stock directly to such brokerage firm.
(d)Term of Options. The term during which each stock option may be exercised shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however, that in no event shall a stock option be exercisable more than ten (10) years from the date it is granted. Prior to the exercise of the stock option and delivery of the Stock certificates represented thereby, the Participant shall have none of the rights of a stockholder with respect to any Stock represented by an outstanding stock option.
(e)Restrictions on Incentive Stock Options. Incentive Stock Option Awards granted under the Plan shall comply in all respects with Section 422 of the Code and, as such, shall meet the following additional requirements:
|
i. |
Grant Date. An Incentive Stock Option must be granted within ten (10) years of the earlier of the Plan’s adoption by the Board of Directors or approval by the Company’s stockholders. |
|
ii. |
Exercise Price and Term. The exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the date the stock option is granted and the term of the stock option shall not exceed ten (10) years. Also, the exercise price of any Incentive Stock Option granted to a Participant who owns (within the meaning of Section 422(b)(6) of the Code, after the application of the attribution rules in Section 424(d) of the Code) more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares of Stock of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall be not less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the grant date and the term of such stock option shall not exceed five (5) years. |
A-6
APPENDIX A
|
iv. |
Participant. Incentive Stock Options shall only be issued to Employees. |
|
v. |
Designation. No Option shall be an Incentive Stock Option unless so designated by the Committee at the time of grant or in the Grant Agreement evidencing such Option. |
|
vi. |
Stockholder Approval. No Option issued under the Plan shall be an Incentive Stock Option unless the Plan is approved by the stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months of its adoption by the Board in accordance with the Bylaws of the Company and governing law relating to such matters. |
(f)Other Terms and Conditions. Options may contain such other provisions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, as the Committee shall determine appropriate from time to time.
(a)In General. Subject to the other applicable provisions of the Plan and applicable law, the Committee may at any time and from time to time grant Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units to Participants, in such amounts and subject to such vesting conditions, other restrictions and conditions for the lapse of restrictions as it determines. Unless determined otherwise by the Committee, Participants receiving Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units are not required to pay the Company cash consideration therefor (except as may be required for applicable tax withholding).
(b)Vesting Conditions and Other Restrictions. Each Award for Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall be evidenced by a Grant Agreement that specifies the applicable vesting conditions and other restrictions, if any, on such Award, the duration of such restrictions, and the time or times at which such restrictions shall lapse with respect to all or a specified number of the shares of Stock that are part of the Award. With respect to Awards of Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units, the vesting schedule must be, at a minimum one year. Notwithstanding the forgoing limitation, such Award may provide for full vesting upon death, Disability, retirement (on or after age 65) or a termination of employment or service following a Change in Control.
(c)Stock Issuance and Stockholder Rights.
|
i. |
Restricted Stock. Stock certificates with respect to Stock granted pursuant to a Restricted Stock Award shall be issued, and/or Stock shall be registered, in the Participant’s name at the time of grant of the Restricted Stock Award, subject to forfeiture if the Restricted Stock does not vest or other restrictions do not lapse. Any Stock certificates shall bear an appropriate legend with respect to the restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock Award and the Participant will be required to deposit the certificates with the Company during the period of any restriction thereon and to execute a blank stock power or other instrument of transfer therefor. Except as otherwise provided by the Committee, during the period of restriction following issuance of Restricted Stock certificates, the Participant shall have all of the rights of a holder of Stock, including but not limited to the rights to receive dividends (or amounts equivalent to dividends) and to vote with respect to the Restricted Stock. The Committee, in its discretion, may provide in the Grant Agreement that any dividends or distributions paid with respect to Stock subject to the unvested portion of a Restricted Stock Award will be subject to the same restrictions as the Restricted Stock to which such dividends or distributions relate. |
A-7
APPENDIX A
|
determined by the Committee and set forth in the Grant Agreement. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee with respect to a particular Award (and set forth in the Grant Agreement), each outstanding Restricted Stock Unit that is entitled to receive amounts equivalent to dividends and distributions paid with respect to Stock subject to the Award while the Award is outstanding shall accrue such dividend and distribution equivalents, deferred as equivalent amounts of additional Restricted Stock Units, and such amounts shall be paid only when and if the Restricted Stock Unit (on which such dividend and distribution equivalents were accrued) vests and becomes payable. If the Committee determines to provide for the current payment of dividend equivalents and distributions with respect to Stock subject to the Award, the terms and conditions of such payment shall be set forth in the Grant Agreement and shall be structured in compliance with Section 409A. To the extent that a Restricted Stock Unit does not vest or is otherwise forfeited, any accrued and unpaid dividend and distribution equivalents shall be forfeited. Unless a Participant has elected to defer amounts payable or distributable with respect to the Award pursuant to Section 7(e), amounts payable or distributable (including dividend and distribution equivalents that are payable with respect to such Restricted Stock Units) shall be made or distributed within thirty (30) days after the Participant’s rights to such payments vest. In the event the Award provides for partial vesting over multiple years, amounts payable or distributable with respect to the Award (including dividend and distribution equivalents that are payable with respect to such Restricted Stock Units) shall be made or distributed within thirty (30) days after vesting occurs. |
(d)Restricted Stock Units Granted to Non-Employee Directors.
|
i. |
Grant of Restricted Stock Units. |
|
1. |
Each Non-Employee Director upon his or her initial election to the Board by the stockholders of the Company shall automatically be granted an Award of Restricted Stock Units in an amount established from time to time by the Committee. Such award shall be made within thirty-one (31) days after the date of the annual meeting at which such election occurs and the amount of the RSUs granted to the Non-Employee Director shall be based on the Fair Market Value of the Stock as of such date. |
|
2. |
Upon subsequent election to the Board by the stockholders of the Company, each Non-Employee Director shall automatically be granted an Award of Restricted Stock Units in an amount established from time to time by the Committee. Such award shall be made on the date of the annual meeting at which such election occurs and the amount of the RSUs granted to the Non-Employee Director shall be based on the Fair market Value of the Stock as of such date. |
|
3. |
The Company shall grant Restricted Stock Units to each Non-Employee Director in whole Units. No fractional RSU will be granted. Instead, the amount of RSUs granted to the Non-Employee Director will be rounded up to the next whole number. |
|
ii. |
Acceleration. Each Award granted pursuant to this Section 7(d) shall include a provision accelerating the vesting of each Restricted Stock Unit included in the Award in the event of death, disability (within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(C)) or a Change of Control of the Company. |
|
iii. |
Limited to Non-Employee Directors. The provisions of this Section 7(d) shall apply only to Awards of Restricted Stock Units granted or to be granted to Non-Employee Directors, and shall not be deemed to modify, limit or otherwise apply to any other provision of this Plan or to any Restricted Stock Unit issued under this Plan to a Participant who is not a Non-Employee Director of the Company. To the extent and consistent with the provisions of any other Section of this Plan, the provisions of this Section 7(d) shall govern the rights and obligations of the Company and Non-Employee Directors respecting Restricted Stock Units granted or to be granted to Non-Employee Directors under this Plan. |
A-8
APPENDIX A
|
date. A specified distribution date shall be expressed as a number of whole years, not less than three, following the Grant Date. The date selected for payment of the Restricted Stock Units shall be irrevocable. |
|
ii. |
The election by a Participant to defer amounts payable or distributable with respect to Restricted Stock Units shall be made in compliance with the provisions of Section 409A and in accordance with the terms and conditions specified in the Award. |
(a)Award of Stock Appreciation Rights. Subject to the other applicable provisions of the Plan, the Committee may at any time and from time to time grant Stock Appreciation Rights (“SARs”) to Participants, either on a free-standing basis (without regard to or in addition to the grant of a stock option) or on a tandem basis (related to the grant of an underlying stock option), as it determines. SARs granted in tandem with or in addition to a stock option may be granted at the same time as the stock option; provided, however, that a tandem SAR shall not be granted with respect to any outstanding Incentive Stock Option Award without the consent of the Participant. SARs shall be evidenced by Grant Agreements, executed by the Company and the Participant, stating the number of shares of Stock subject to the SAR evidenced thereby and the terms and conditions of such SAR, in such form as the Committee may from time to time determine. The term during which each SAR may be exercised shall be determined by the Committee. In no event shall a SAR be exercisable more than ten (10) years from the date it is granted. The Participant shall have none of the rights of a stockholder with respect to any Stock represented by a SAR prior to exercise of the SAR.
(b)Restrictions of Tandem SARs. No Incentive Stock Option may be surrendered in connection with the exercise of a tandem SAR unless the Fair Market Value of the Stock subject to the Incentive Stock Option is greater than the exercise price for such Incentive Stock Option. SARs granted in tandem with stock options shall be exercisable only to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as the stock options related thereto are exercisable. The Committee may, in its discretion, prescribe additional conditions to the exercise of any such tandem SAR.
(c)Amount of Payment upon Exercise of SARs. A SAR shall entitle the Participant to receive, subject to the provisions of the Plan and the Grant Agreement, a payment having an aggregate value equal to the product of (i) the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value of one share of Stock on the exercise date over (B) the base price per share of Stock specified in the Grant Agreement, times (ii) the number of shares of Stock specified by the SAR, or portion thereof, that is exercised. The base price per share specified in the Grant Agreement shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the Grant Date. In the case of exercise of a tandem SAR, such payment shall be made in exchange for the surrender of the unexercised related stock option (or any portion or portions thereof which the Participant from time to time determines to surrender for this purpose).
(d)Form of Payment upon Exercise of SARs. Payment by the Company of the amount receivable upon any exercise of a SAR shall be made by the delivery of the number of whole shares of Stock determined by dividing the amount payable under the SAR by the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock on the exercise date. The amount equivalent in value to any fractional share will be paid out currently in cash.
(a)Grant or Sale of Unrestricted Stock. Subject to the limitations contained in Section 4, the Committee in its discretion may grant or sell to any Participant shares of Stock free of any restrictions under the Plan (“Unrestricted Stock”) at a purchase price determined by the Committee. Shares of Unrestricted Stock may be granted or sold as described in the preceding sentence in respect of past services or other valid consideration.
(b)Restrictions on Transfers. The right to receive Unrestricted Stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
(a)In General. The Committee, in its discretion, may establish targets for Performance Measures for selected Participants and authorize the granting, vesting, payment and/or delivery of Performance Awards to such Participants upon achievement of such targets for Performance Measures during a Performance Period. The Committee, in its discretion, shall determine the Participants eligible for Performance Awards, the targets for Performance Measures to be achieved during each Performance Period, and the type, amount, and terms and conditions of any Performance Awards. Performance Awards may be granted either alone or in addition to other Awards made under the Plan.
A-9
APPENDIX A
(b)Covered Employee Targets. In connection with any Performance Awards granted to a Covered Employee which are intended to meet the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee shall (i) establish in the applicable Grant Agreement the specific targets relative to the Performance Measures which must be attained before the respective Performance Award is granted, vests, or is otherwise paid or delivered, (ii) provide in the applicable Grant Agreement the method for computing the portion of the Performance Award which shall be granted, vested, paid and/or delivered if the target or targets are attained in full or part, and (iii) at the end of the relevant Performance Period and prior to any such grant, vesting, payment or delivery certify the extent to which the applicable target or targets were achieved and whether any other material terms were in fact satisfied. The specific targets and the method for computing the portion of such Performance Award which shall be granted, vested, paid or delivered to any Covered Employee shall be established by the Committee prior to the earlier to occur of (A) ninety (90) days after the commencement of the Performance Period to which the Performance Measure applies and (B) the elapse of twenty-five percent (25%) of the Performance Period and in any event while the outcome is substantially uncertain. In interpreting Plan provisions applicable to Performance Measures and Performance Awards which are intended to meet the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m) of the Code, it is the intent of the Plan to conform with the standards of Section 162(m) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.162-27(e)(2), and the Committee in interpreting the Plan shall be guided by such provisions.
(c)Nonexclusive Provision. Notwithstanding this Section 11, the Committee may authorize the granting, vesting, payment and/or delivery of Performance Awards based on performance measures other than the Performance Measures and performance periods other than the Performance Periods to employees who are not Covered Employees or to Covered Employees to the extent such Awards are not intended to meet the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m) of the Code and in such case waive the deadlines for establishing performance measures under Subsection (b) above.
11. |
Cash Awards |
Cash Awards may be granted either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other Awards granted under the Plan. The terms, conditions and limitations applicable to a Cash Award, including, but not limited to, vesting or other restrictions, shall be determined by the Committee; provided, however, that any Cash Award, or portion thereof, that would cause the total compensation paid to a Participant who is a Covered Employee in a given taxable year to exceed $1,000,000 shall be made as a Performance Award, in accordance with Section 10 hereof.
(a)Payment by Participant. Each Participant shall, no later than the date as of which the value of an Award or of any Stock or other amounts received thereunder first becomes includable in the gross income of the Participant for Federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding payment of any Federal, state or local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld with respect to such income. The Company and its Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant.
(b)Payment in Shares. The Company and its Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any applicable taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant and withhold, at the time of delivery or exercise of any Award or vesting of shared under such Awards, an appropriate number of shares for payment of taxes required by law or to take such other action as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy all obligations for withholding of such taxes. If shares are used to satisfy such withholding, such stock shall be valued based on the Fair Market Value when the tax withholding is required to be made.
(c)Notice of Disqualifying Disposition. Each holder of an Incentive Stock Option shall agree to notify the Company in writing immediately after making a disqualifying disposition (as defined in Section 421(b) of the Code) of any Stock purchased upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option.
No Option, SAR or other unvested Award granted under the Plan shall be transferable by a Participant otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee in accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, an Option or SAR may be exercised during the lifetime of the Participant only by the Participant or, during the period the Participant is under a legal disability, by the Participant’s guardian or legal representative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with the Committee’s permission expressed in the Grant Agreement or otherwise, any Award other than an Incentive Stock Option may, in the Committee’s sole discretion, be transferable by gift or domestic relations order to (i) the Participant’s child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling,
A-10
APPENDIX A
niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, daughter-in-law, son-in-law, brother-in-law or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships (such persons, “Family Members”), (ii) a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other business entity whose only stockholders, partners or members, as applicable are the Participant and/or Family Members, or (iii) a trust in which the Participant and/or Family Members have all of the beneficial interests, and subsequent to any such transfer any Award may be exercised by any such transferee.
(a)Adjustments. In the event of a reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination of shares or other similar event, the maximum number and kind of shares reserved for issuance or with respect to which Awards may be granted under the Plan as provided in Section 4 shall be adjusted to reflect such event, and the Committee shall make such adjustments as it deems appropriate and equitable in the number, kind and price of shares covered by outstanding Awards made under the Plan, and in any other matters that relate to Awards and that are affected by the changes in the shares referred to above.
(b)Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control, the Committee shall take such action as it deems appropriate and equitable to effectuate the purposes of this Plan, which action may include, without limitation, any one or more of the following to the extent permitted by Section 409A and subject to the limitations of Section 4(c): (i) acceleration or change of the exercise and/or expiration dates of any vested or non-vested Award to require that exercise be made, if at all, prior to the Change in Control; (ii) the cancellation of any vested or non-vested Award upon payment to the holder of the fair value of the Award, as determined by the Committee (which shall not exceed the Fair Market Value of the Stock subject to such Award as of the date of cancellation, less the aggregate exercise price, if any, of the Award and in the event the Fair Market Value of an Option is below the aggregate exercise price, the Committee shall assign no value to the Award); and (iii) in any case where equity securities of another entity are delivered in exchange for or with respect to Stock of the Company, arrangements to have such other entity continue or assume such Awards or replace the Awards granted hereunder with awards with respect to such other securities, with appropriate adjustments in the number of shares subject to, and the exercise prices under, the Award.
Except as provided above, no Grant Agreement shall be issued that will provide for automatic vesting upon a Change in Control, other than, in the discretion of the Committee, accelerated vesting in the event of a termination of employment following a Change in Control under such circumstances as the Committee deems appropriate.
(c)Dissolution and Liquidation. In the event the Company dissolves and liquidates (other than pursuant to a plan of merger or reorganization), then, to the extent permitted under Section 409A, each Participant shall have the right to exercise his or her vested, outstanding stock options and Stock Appreciation Rights and to require delivery of Stock certificates, and/or registration in Participant’s name of the Stock, under any vested, outstanding Restricted Stock Unit Awards, at any time up to the effective date of such liquidation and dissolution, upon which date all Awards under the Plan shall terminate.
(d)Other Adjustments. The Committee is authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in, Awards in recognition of unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, the events described in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 14) affecting the Company, or the financial statements of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, or of changes in applicable laws, regulations or accounting principles, whenever the Committee determines that such adjustments are appropriate in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan.
Except as hereinbefore expressly provided, issuance by the Company of stock of any class or securities convertible into stock of any class, for cash, property, labor or services, upon direct sale, upon the exercise of rights or warranty to subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of stock or obligations of the Company convertible into such stock or other securities, and in any case whether or not for fair value, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of shares of Stock subject to Awards theretofore granted or the purchase price per share of Stock subject to Awards.
(a)Amendment or Termination by the Board. The Board, without further approval of the stockholders, may amend or terminate the Plan or any portion thereof at any time, except that no amendment shall become effective without prior approval of the stockholders of the Company to increase the number of shares of Stock subject to the Plan or if stockholder approval is required under the terms of the Plan or is necessary to comply with any tax or regulatory requirement or rule of any exchange or national automated quotation system upon which the Stock is listed or quoted (including for this purpose stockholder approval that is required for continued compliance with Rule 16b-3 or stockholder approval that is required to enable the Committee to grant Incentive Stock Options pursuant to the Plan).
A-11
APPENDIX A
(b)Amendments by the Committee. The Committee shall be authorized to make minor or administrative amendments to the Plan as well as amendments to the Plan that may be dictated by requirements of U.S. federal or state laws applicable to the Company or that may be authorized or made desirable by such laws. The Committee may amend any outstanding Award in any manner as provided in Section 3 and to the extent that the Committee would have had the authority to make such Award as so amended.
(c)Approval of Participants. No amendment to the Plan or any Award may be made that would materially adversely affect any outstanding Award previously made under the Plan without the approval of the Participant.
Nothing in the Plan or in any Grant Agreement thereunder shall confer any right on an employee to continue in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate or shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate to terminate an employee at any time.
For purposes of maintaining a Participant’s continuous status as an employee and accrual of rights under any Award, transfer of an employee among the Company and its Affiliates shall not be considered a termination of employment. Nor shall it be considered a termination of employment for such purposes if an employee is placed on military or sick leave or such other leave of absence that is considered as continuing intact the employment relationship; in such a case, the employment relationship shall be continued until the date when an employee’s right to reemployment shall no longer be guaranteed either by law or contract.
Each Grant Agreement entered into between the Company and a Participant with respect to an Award granted under the Plan shall incorporate the terms of this Plan and shall contain such provisions, consistent with the provisions of the Plan, as may be established by the Committee.
The Committee’s determinations under the Plan (including without limitation determinations of the persons to receive Awards, the form, amount and time of such Awards, the terms and provisions of such Awards and the agreements evidencing same) need not be uniform and may be made by it selectively among persons who receive, or are eligible to receive, Awards under the Plan, whether or not such persons are similarly situated.
20. |
Limitation on Benefits |
With respect to persons subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, transactions under this Plan are intended to comply with all applicable conditions of Rule 16b-3. To the extent any provision of the Plan or action by the Committee fails to so comply, it shall be deemed null and void, to the extent permitted by law and deemed advisable by the Committee.
Any Stock certificates for shares issued pursuant to this Plan may bear a legend restricting transferability of the Stock unless such shares are registered or an exemption from registration is available under the Securities Act and applicable securities laws of the states of the U.S. The Company may notify its transfer agent to stop any transfer of Stock not made in compliance with these restrictions. Stock shall not be issued with respect to an Award granted under the Plan unless the exercise of such Award and the issuance and delivery of Stock certificates for such shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and the requirements of any national securities exchange or Nasdaq System upon which the Stock may then be listed or quoted, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance to the extent such approval is sought by the Committee.

No Trust or Fund Created |
Neither the Plan nor any Award shall create or be construed to create a trust or separate fund of any kind or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and a Participant or any other person. With respect to any transfer or payment not yet made
A-12
APPENDIX A
to a Participant pursuant to an Award, the obligation of the Company shall be interpreted solely as an unfunded contractual obligation to make such transfer or payment in the manner and under the conditions prescribed under the written instrument evidencing the Award. Any shares of Stock or other assets set aside with respect to an Award shall be subject to the claims of the Company’s general creditors, and no person other than the Company shall, by virtue of an Award, have any interest in such shares or assets. In its sole discretion, the Committee may authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the Company’s obligations to deliver Stock or make payments with respect to Awards hereunder, provided that the existence of such trusts or other arrangements is consistent with the provisions of this Section. In no event shall any assets set aside (directly or indirectly) with respect to an Award be located or transferred outside the United States.
23. |
No Limit on Other Compensation Arrangements |
Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Company or any Affiliate from adopting or continuing in effect other compensation arrangements (whether such arrangements be generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases), including without limitation the granting of Awards otherwise than under the Plan.
24. |
No Restriction of Corporate Action |
Nothing contained in the Plan shall be construed to limit or impair the power of the Company or any Affiliate to make adjustments, reclassifications, reorganizations, or changes in its capital or business structure, or to merge or consolidate, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or assets or, except as otherwise provided herein, or in a Grant Agreement, to take other actions which it deems to be necessary or appropriate. No employee, beneficiary or other person shall have any claim against the Company or any Affiliate as a result of such action.
25. |
Notice |
Any notice to the Company required by any of the provisions of the Plan shall be in writing and shall be addressed to the Secretary of the Company, and shall become effective when it is received by the Secretary of the Company.
26. |
Section 409A Compliance |
The Plan is generally intended to constitute an equity compensation plan that does not provide for the deferral of compensation subject to Section 409A and, if any provision of the Plan is subject to more than one interpretation or construction, such ambiguity shall be resolved in favor of that interpretation or construction which is consistent with the Plan not being subject to the provisions of Section 409A. To the extent any Awards under the Plan are subject to Section 409A, then no amount of “nonqualified deferred compensation” (within the meaning of Section 409A ) payable to an Employee or Non-Employee Director shall be paid earlier than the earliest date permitted under Section 409A, and all deferral elections shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 409A. To the extent that an Award is subject to the provisions of Section 409A, the provisions of the Plan relating to such Awards, including all deferral elections and distributions thereunder, are intended to comply with the provisions of Section 409A and if any such provision is subject to more than one interpretation or construction, such ambiguity shall be resolved in favor of the interpretation or construction which is consistent with the Plan complying with the provisions of Section 409A. In no event shall the Company or any of its Affiliates be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on a Participant under Section 409A or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Plan or any Grant Agreement, any payment(s) of nonqualified deferred compensation that are otherwise required to be made under the Plan to a Specified Employee as a result of his or her Separation from Service (other than a payment that is not subject to Section 409A) shall be delayed and paid on the first day of the seventh month following the date of Separation from Service (or, if earlier, the date of death of the Specified Employee). Any remaining payments of nonqualified deferred compensation shall be paid without delay and at the time or times such payments are otherwise scheduled to be made. A termination of employment or service shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of the Plan or any Grant Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits that are considered nonqualified deferred compensation upon or following a termination of employment or service, unless such termination is also a Separation from Service.
The validity, construction and effect of the Plan, of Grant Agreements entered into pursuant to the Plan, and of any rules, regulations, determinations or decisions made by the Board or Committee relating to the Plan or such Grant Agreements, and the rights of any and all persons having or claiming to have any interest therein or thereunder, shall be determined in accordance with applicable federal laws and the laws of the State of Delaware.
