On June
9, 2009, the stockholders of LivePerson, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the 2009
Stock Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”), which was previously approved by the
Board of Directors of the Company on April 21, 2009. The 2009 Plan
replaced the Company’s 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the ‘‘2000 Plan’’), which
expires by its terms on March 21, 2010. The Company’s executive officers are
eligible to participate in the 2009 Plan, although no awards have yet been made
to any executive officers under the 2009 Plan since it was approved by
stockholders.
The 2009
Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock
options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and
other stock and cash-based awards (collectively, ‘‘Awards’’). Employees,
officers, directors, consultants and advisors of the Company are eligible to be
granted Awards under the 2009 Plan. The most significant difference
between the 2000 Plan and the 2009 Plan was the increase in the number of shares
available for the grant of Awards by 6,000,000. Other changes to the
2000 Plan were made in the 2009 Plan as well.
For a
more complete description of the 2009 Plan, see the Company’s definitive Proxy
Statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
April 30, 2009, which is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and is
incorporated herein by reference. The description of the 2009 Plan is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2009 Plan, which is filed as
Exhibit 10.2 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.
