(e) At the 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Citrix Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) held on June 3, 2020 (the “Annual Meeting”), the Company’s shareholders approved the Company’s Second Amended and Restated 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Amended Plan”) which replaced the Company’s Amended and Restated 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Original Plan”).

The material amended provisions of the Amended Plan are that the Amended Plan:

increases the total number of shares authorized for issuance under the Original Plan by 7,900,000 shares, from 43,400,000 to 51,300,000 shares;

•

extends the term of the Original Plan for ten years, until 2030;

•

updates the vesting provisions from monthly to annual vesting for the Company’s annual director awards, consistent with the Company’s current compensation program for non-employee directors;

•

removes provisions related to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, that are no longer applicable in light of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017 and subsequent guidance from the Internal Review Service; and

•

incorporates certain other stylistic updates.

A detailed summary of the Amended Plan is set forth in the Company’s proxy statement for the Annual Meeting filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 16, 2020 (the “Proxy Statement”) under the caption “Proposal 2 Approval of the Citrix Systems, Inc. Second Amended and Restated 2014 Equity Incentive Plan,” which summary is incorporated herein by reference.
