Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On February 18, 2015, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of RealNetworks, Inc. approved the 2015 Executive MBO Plan, effective for the first six months of 2015 and applicable to the executive officers of RealNetworks excluding the chief executive officer. The Compensation Committee will administer this plan, which is pursuant to the RealNetworks 2005 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated.
Payouts under the 2015 Executive MBO Plan will be determined by our Compensation Committee and will be based 80% on company and/or divisional financial performance and 20% on individual performance. Financial performance will be measured by the achievement of specific financial goals related to revenue (weighted at 60% of total performance) and adjusted EBITDA (weighted at 20% of total performance). Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that we define as operating income (loss) including other income (expense) net, but excluding depreciation and amortization; acquisition-related intangible asset amortization; stock-based compensation; restructuring and other charges; lease exit and related charges; and extinguishment of liability.
