Item 8.01. Other Events
Under the terms of the settlement agreement entered into between the Company and Starboard Value, L.P. and certain of its affiliates in July 2014, if the Company failed to achieve certain objectives under its fiscal year 2015 business plan previously agreed between the Company and Starboard, then Starboard would have been entitled to nominate two additional directors to the Company’s board of directors following the release of the Company’s results for fiscal year 2015. The Company achieved all of the agreed business plan objectives. As a result, under the terms of the settlement agreement, the standstill provisions of the agreement automatically extended for an additional year, until a specified date prior to the deadline for the submission of stockholder nominations for the Company’s 2016 annual meeting, and Starboard is not entitled to nominate additional directors. The Company remains obligated, if requested by Starboard prior to the nomination deadline for the Company’s 2015 annual meeting, to re-nominate each of the four Starboard nominees (or any lesser number requested by Starboard) for election to the board of directors at the 2015 annual meeting, so long as Starboard remains the beneficial owner of the minimum number of shares of Common Stock specified in the agreement.
