Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
(e) Compensatory Arrangements for Certain Officers
On February 15, 2007, Verigys Compensation Committee approved bonus metrics for executive officers for the first half of fiscal year 2007. The Compensation Committee had previously approved target bonus levels for Verigys executives, expressed as a percent of base salary, and had further determined that the bonuses would be tied to three elements of performance: (1) company achievement of company-wide operating profit targets; (2) company achievement of other short-term financial goals; and (3) individual achievement of individual strategic goals. Following the end of each performance period, the Compensation Committee determines the actual performance results for each performance measure and the amount of the bonus to which each plan participant is entitled. If the relevant performance measures are not achieved, the plan participant may not receive any bonus or only a portion of the target bonus. If the relevant performance measures are exceeded, the plan participant may receive a bonus in excess of the target bonus.
Director Compensation
On February 15, 2007, the Compensation Committee determined that it would be appropriate to adjust the cycle upon which cash compensation is paid to the Companys outside directors such that the cash compensation, like the automatic equity awards under Verigys 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, becomes payable following each years annual general meeting of shareholders. As a result, the Compensation Committee adjusted the timing of payment of fees to non-employee directors such that such fees would become payable promptly following each years annual general meeting. The overall level of non-employee director fees ($55,000 per year base plus committee chair supplements of $10,000 per year for each of the chairs of the audit committee and compensation committee and $5,000 per year for the chair of the nominating & governance committee) remains unchanged from prior levels. In connection with the shift of payment cycle, the Compensation Committee approved a one-time pro rata payment of non-employee
director fees for the period from November 1, 2007 to April 15, 2008
(the estimated date of the Companys 2008 annual general meeting) as follows: Description Pro Rata Adjustment for 5.5 Director fees $ 25,208 Audit and Compensation
Committee Chairperson Supplement $ 4,583 Nominating & Governance Committee Chairperson Supplement $ 2,291 Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits. The following exhibits are furnished herewith: Exhibit Description 99.1 Text of press release issued by Verigy Ltd. dated February
