On May 10, 2016, based on the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “NCG Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Shutterstock, Inc. (the “Company”), the Board appointed Deirdre M. Bigley as a Class II director of the Company with a term expiring at the Company’s 2017 annual meeting of stockholders. In addition and based on the recommendation of the Committee, the Board appointed Ms. Bigley to serve as a member of each of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Compensation Committee of the Board. In connection with her election to the Board, Ms. Bigley was awarded a restricted stock unit grant under the Company’s 2012 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan covering 316 shares of the Company’s common stock, such award to vest on June 6, 2016, which is the date immediately preceding the date of the Company’s 2016 annual meeting of stockholders, subject to Ms. Bigley’s continued service through that date. Ms. Bigley will also be entitled to receive the following compensation for her service on each of the Board, the Compensation Committee and the NCG Committee:
| |
• | an annual cash retainer of $50,000 for her service on the Board. $5,000 for her service on the Compensation Committee and $2,500 for her service on the NCG Committee, each payable quarterly in arrears, subject to Ms. Bigley’s continued service on the first day of the preceding quarter; |
| |
• | an annual restricted stock unit award with a cash value of $150,000 to be granted on the date of each annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, which shall vest on the earlier of the one-year anniversary of the date of grant and the date immediately preceding the date of the next annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, subject in each case to Ms. Bigley’s continued service through the vesting date. |
All of Ms. Bigley’s equity awards received for her service on the Board will vest in full immediately prior to, and contingent upon, a change of control of the Company.
In addition, Ms. Bigley and the Company will enter into an indemnification agreement, the form of which is attached as an exhibit to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-181376), filed with the SEC on August 30, 2012.
