Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On December 29, 2017 , the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Mitek Systems, Inc. (the “Company”), based upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board, approved the Company’s executive bonus program for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2018 (the “2018 Plan”). Pursuant to the terms of the 2018 Plan, certain of the Company’s executives will be eligible to receive cash bonuses based upon the achievement of certain corporate and individual performance goals during the 2018 fiscal year. These bonuses are designed to attract, motivate, retain and reward the Company’s executives.

Under the 2018 Plan, our Chief Executive Officer has a bonus target equal to 80% of his annualized salary; our Chief Financial Officer has a bonus target equal to 60% of his annualized salary; our Chief Technical Officer has a bonus target of 60% of his annualized salary; our Chief Operating Officer has a bonus target of 50% of his annualized salary; and our General Counsel has a bonus target of 40% of his annualized salary. Up to 75% of the bonus target for these individuals is based upon achievement of two financial metrics (revenue and non-GAAP net income) and the remaining 25% of the bonus target is based upon achievement of certain individual performance goals. The maximum bonus payable to these individuals is 150% of their respective bonus targets.

Under the 2018 Plan, our General Manager (“GM”) (formerly our Chief Revenue Officer) has an annual bonus target equal to 50% of his annualized salary. Up to 87.5% of the bonus target is based upon achievement of certain financial metrics (revenue and non-GAAP net income) and the remaining 12.5% of the bonus target is based upon achievement of certain individual performance goals. The maximum bonus payable to the GM is 150% of his bonus target.

The foregoing description is intended only as a summary of the material terms of the 2018 Plan and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the 2018 Plan, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
