Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 16, 2014, Glu Mobile Inc. (Glu) and Unity Technologies ApS (Unity) entered into an
amendment, and on December 18, 2014, a second amendment, (together, the Amendment) to their existing Software License Agreement (the Unity License Agreement) dated October 29, 2012. The
Unity License Agreement provides Glu with a license to the Unity game development engine that Glu has used to create many of its mobile games. Pursuant to the Amendment, Glu and Unity agreed to extend the term of the Unity License Agreement (the
Term) by an additional three years, such that the Term is now scheduled to end on October 28, 2017. Glu also has the right to extend the Term for three additional one year periods thereafter. In addition, the Amendment
provides Glu with rights, throughout the Term, to future upgrades to the Unity game development engine and to substantially the same level of support from Unity as received under the original Unity License Agreement.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain
Officers.
On December 16, 2014, the Compensation Committee of Glus Board of Directors approved the Glu Mobile Inc. 2015 Executive Bonus
Plan (the Bonus Plan) in which the following Glu executive officers (the Executive Officers) are eligible to participate:
|
|
|
Niccolo de Masi, Glus President and Chief Executive Officer; |
|
|
|
Eric R. Ludwig, Glus Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer; |
|
|
|
Chris Akhavan, Glus President of Publishing; and |
|
|
|
Scott Leichtner, Glus Vice President and General Counsel. |
The material terms of the Bonus Plan are as
follows:
|
|
|
Bonuses are earned and paid on an annual basis, and the Executive Officer must be employed with Glu when the bonus is paid to be eligible to receive a bonus. |
|
|
|
Target bonus levels are a fixed percentage of the Executive Officers annual base salary as of December 31, 2015. |
|
|
|
For each of the Executive Officers, the total bonus is composed of the following two parts: |
|
|
|
50% of the bonus is awarded based on Glu achieving the 2015 Annual Non-GAAP Revenues goal; and |
|
|
|
50% of the bonus is awarded based on Glu achieving the 2015 Adjusted EBITDA goal. |
|
|
|
The 2015 Annual Non-GAAP Revenues goal and the 2015 Annual Adjusted EBITDA goal will be evaluated independently of each other. No bonuses will be paid with respect to a goal unless Glu achieves such goal at a specified
threshold established in Glus Board approved 2015 Operating Plan (the Plan Threshold). To the extent that Glu achieves a goal at a level equal to the Plan Threshold for such goal, then each Executive Officer will receive a bonus
that equals 50% of his target bonus amount for each such goal. Accordingly, if Glu were to achieve both goals at a level equal to the Plan Threshold, then each Executive Officer will receive a bonus that equals 100% of his target bonus.
|
|
|
|
There are additive compensation components that provide for additional payouts on a straight-line basis if Glu exceeds the Plan Threshold for either goal, with the Executive Officers eligible to receive bonuses of up to
the maximum target bonus percentages specified in the chart below if Glu significantly exceeds the Plan Thresholds for both goals. In addition, because each goal is evaluated independently of each other, overachievement on one goal cannot compensate
for underachievement on the other goal. |
The target and maximum bonus amounts for each of the Executive Officers under the Bonus Plan are set forth in the
table below:

Glu Mobile Inc. 2015 Executive Bonus Plan. |
Exhibit 99.01
Glu Mobile Inc.
2015
Executive Bonus Plan
(Approved by the Compensation Committee on December 16, 2014)
|
|
|
Effective Date: |
|
December 16, 2014 for the 2015 fiscal year of Glu Mobile Inc. (the Company). |
|
|
Eligibility: |
|
1. The following executive officers of the Company (the
Executive Officers) are eligible to
participate:
Niccolo de Masi, the
Companys President and Chief Executive Officer;
Eric R. Ludwig, the Companys Executive Vice President Chief Operating Officer and Chief
Financial Officer;
Chris Akhavan, the Companys President of Publishing; and
Scott Leichtner, the
Companys Vice President and General Counsel
2. The Executive Officer must be employed by the Company on the date bonuses are
paid to be eligible to receive a bonus. |
|
|
Bonus Level: |
|
Target bonus levels are a fixed percentage of the Executive Officers annual base salary as of December 31, 2015. The exact percentage is specified in the Executive Officers employment offer letter, or as subsequently
modified by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the Committee). |
|
|
Frequency: |
|
Awarded 100% on an annual basis. |
|
|
Bonus Components: |
|
For each of the Executive Officers, the total bonus is composed of the following two parts.
50% of the bonus
is awarded based on the Company achieving the 2015 Annual Non-GAAP Revenues goal; and
50% of the bonus is awarded based on the Company achieving the 2015 Annual Adjusted
EBITDA goal. The 2015 Annual Non-GAAP Revenues goal and the 2015 Annual Adjusted
EBITDA goal will be evaluated independently of each other. No bonuses will be paid with respect to a goal unless the Company achieves such goal at a specified threshold established in Glus Board approved 2015 Operating Plan (the
Plan Threshold). To the extent that the Company achieves a goal at a level equal to the Plan Threshold for such goal, then each Executive Officer will receive a bonus that equals 50% of his target bonus amount for each such
goal. Accordingly, if the Company were to achieve both goals at a level equal to the Plan Threshold, then each Executive Officer will receive a bonus that equals 100% of his target bonus.
There are additive compensation components that provide for additional payouts on a
straight-line basis if the Company exceeds the Plan Threshold for either goal, with the Executive Officers eligible to receive bonuses of up to the following maximum target bonus percentages for maximum achievement on each of the two goals:
Mr. de Masi
500%; Mr. Ludwig
200%; Mr.
Akhavan 200%; and
Mr. Leichtner 100%.
Because each goal is evaluated independently of each other, overachievement on one goal
cannot compensate for underachievement on the other goal. |
|
|
Payment Timing: |
|
All bonus payments made under the Bonus Plan shall be made no later than March 15, 2016. |
|
|
|
Amendments: |
|
The Committee retains the authority to withdraw, amend, add to or terminate this Bonus Plan, or any portion of it, at any time in its sole discretion. |
|
|
Employment Relationship: |
|
Employment with the Company is at-will and participation in this Bonus Plan in no way constitutes an employment contract conferring either a right or obligation of continued employment. |
|
|
Governing Law: |
|
The Bonus Plan will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California. |
