Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On May 19, 2016, Emergent BioSolutions Inc. held its 2016 annual meeting of stockholders.  At the annual meeting, Emergent's stockholders approved the Fourth Amended and Restated Emergent BioSolutions Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, or the Amended Plan.
The board of directors adopted the Amended Plan on March 24, 2016, subject to stockholder approval.
The Amended Plan includes the following material changes to the Third Amended and Restated Emergent BioSolutions Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, which:
•
Increase the number of shares of Emergent's common stock available for issuance under the plan by 3,750,000 shares, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits and other similar events;
•
Reduce from 10% to 5% the percentage of shares available for issuance under the plan that may be granted with vesting provisions that do not satisfy the three-year minimum vesting provisions applicable to awards that vest based solely on the passage of
time, or the one-year minimum vesting provisions applicable to awards that do not vest solely based on the passage of time, and eliminate all other exceptions to the minimum vesting provisions except in the case of the death or disability of the participant;
•
Impose a $1 million limit on the compensation payable to any non-employee director in any calendar year; and
•
Increase the per participant limit on performance awards payable in cash per calendar year from $750,000 to $2,000,000.
The description above is a summary of certain provisions contained in the Amended Plan and does not purport to be complete.  A more fulsome description of the terms and conditions of the Amended Plan is set forth in Emergent's definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A related to the annual meeting, filed on April 8, 2016.  Such descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Amended Plan, a blacklined copy of which is attached as Appendix A to the proxy statement.
