Item 8.01 Other Events
This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed to report amendments to Ellie Mae, Inc.’s (the “Company”) non-employee director equity compensation policy (the “Amended Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy”).
Under the Amended Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy, any newly elected or appointed non-employee director is entitled to receive an award of restricted stock units with a market value of approximately $150,000 based on the average closing price of our common stock over the thirty trading days prior to the date of grant (the “Initial Grant”), and a pro-rata portion of the Annual Grant (defined below) based on when a director joins the Board relative to the date of the previous year’s annual meeting, upon initial election or appointment to the Board (the “Pro-rata Grant”). In addition, our non-employee directors are entitled to automatically receive immediately after each annual meeting of stockholders, a restricted stock unit award with a market value of approximately $200,000 based on the average closing price of our common stock over the thirty trading days prior to the date of grant (the “Annual Grant”). The Initial Grant will vest in three equal installments on each anniversary of the date of grant, the Pro-rata Grant will vest in full on the date of the following annual meeting of stockholders, and the Annual Grant will vest in full on the first anniversary of each applicable date of grant.
Additionally, at a meeting of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) on May 25, 2016, the Company’s Compensation Committee recommended, and the Board approved, adjustments to the annual committee fees paid to the members of the Technology and Cybersecurity Committee. The adjustments are as follows: payable quarterly in arrears and prorated for partial service in a quarter each member of the Technology and Cybersecurity Committee will receive annual cash fees of $7,200 and the chair of the committee will receive annual cash fees of $12,000.
The foregoing description of the terms of the Amended Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy, which is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
