As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on November 17, 2006, on November 15, 2006, the Compensation and Management Development Committee of the Board of Directors (the Committee) of Conexant Systems, Inc. (the Company) awarded Lewis C. Brewster, the Companys Executive Vice President and General Manager, Broadband Media Processing, a performance share award (the Award) pursuant to the Companys 2001 Performance Share Plan covering 200,000 shares of Company common stock. The Award is an incentive award designed to promote the performance of the Companys Broadband Media Processing business unit. The Committee also established criteria to be used to determine the vesting for the Award.
On June 29, 2007, to reflect certain changes in the Broadband Media Processing business, the Committee modified the vesting terms and criteria of the Award such that the Award may now vest, in whole or in part, based upon achievement of certain revised levels of Broadband Media Processing revenue during 2008 and 2009. The Committee also awarded Mr. Brewster a cash bonus of $150,000, which is subject to repayment if Mr. Brewster voluntarily terminates his employment, or if his employment is terminated by the Company for cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement dated as of February 27, 2004 between the Company and Mr. Brewster), in either event prior to January 1, 2009.
