ResMed Inc. 2009 Incentive Award Plan
On November 16, 2017, US Pacific time, at the annual meeting of stockholders of ResMed, Inc., our stockholders approved an amendment and restatement to the ResMed Inc. 2009 Incentive Award Plan (the 2009 Plan), which increased the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2009 Plan by 7,392,471 shares, such that there would be 19,000,000 shares available for new grants, less grants made after June 30, 2017 and before stockholder approval of the amendment. The amendment imposed a maximum award amount which may be granted under the 2009 Plan to non-employee director in a calendar year, which when taken together with any other cash fees earned for services as a non-employee director during the calendar year, has a total value of $700,000, or $1,200,000 in the case of a non-employee director who is also serving as chairman of our board of directors. The amendment also increased the maximum amount payable pursuant to cash-denominated performance awards granted to any US Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) covered employee in any calendar year from $3,000,000 to $5,000,000. In addition, the amendment extended the existing prohibition on the payment of dividends or dividend equivalents on unvested awards to apply to all awards, including time-based restricted stock, deferred stock and stock payment. The term of the 2009 Plan was extended by four years so that the plan expires on September 11, 2027. The amendment became effective September 11, 2017, the date of its adoption by our board of directors.
The foregoing summary description of the 2009 Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual terms of the 2009 Plan attached as Appendix B to our Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 25, 2017.
Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On November 16, 2017, US Pacific time, at our annual meeting of stockholders, our stockholders (1) elected the three nominees listed below to serve on our board of directors; (2) ratified the selection of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018; (3) approved an amendment and restatement to the ResMed Inc. 2009 Incentive Award Plan which, among other things: serves as approval for purposes of section 162(m) of the US Internal Revenue Code; sets a limit on director compensation; and increases the number of shares authorized for issue under the plan and increases the plan reserve by 7,392,471 shares; (4) approved the compensation of our named executive officers (say-on-pay); and (5) approved one year as the frequency for an advisory vote of future say-on-pay votes.
