Item
5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain
Officers.
At the
August 13, 2009 annual meeting of stockholders of Iconix Brand Group, Inc. (the
“Company”), the stockholders of the Company approved the adoption of the
Company’s 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”).
The 2009
Plan provides that it will be administered by the Compensation Committee or
another committee of independent members of the Company’s Board of
Directors (the “Board”) appointed by the Board (the “Committee”), or in the
absence of such Committee, by the Board. The administrator of the 2009 Plan will
have the authority to administer the 2009 Plan, determine participants who will
be granted awards under the 2009 Plan, the size and types of awards, the terms
and conditions of awards and the form and content of the award agreements
representing awards. Non-employee directors, executive officers and other employees
of, and consultants and advisors to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries will
be eligible to be participants in the 2009 Plan.
The
following types of awards or any combination of them may be granted under the
2009 Plan: (i) “Stock Options” (both “Incentive Stock Options” and
“Non-Qualified Options”) to acquire shares of the Company’s common
stock; (ii) “Stock Grants” which entitle the grantee to acquire shares of
common stock, which may be subject to certain restrictions, such as restrictions
on transferability and which may include stock units including restricted stock
units; and (iii) “Performance Awards,” which entitle the grantee to
receive, without payment, an award following the attainment of performance
goals. However,
only employees of the Company and its subsidiaries will be eligible to receive
Incentive Stock Options under the 2009 Plan.
The
maximum number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued under
the 2009 Plan is 3,000,000 shares, subject to adjustment for stock splits,
recapitalizations and other specified events as set forth in the 2009
Plan. If any outstanding award is canceled, forfeited or surrendered
to the Company for tax withholding purposes, shares of common stock allocable to
such award may again be available for awards under the 2009 Plan.
The
description of the 2009 Plan described in this report does not purport to be
complete and is qualified in its entirety by the language in the 2009 Plan,
which is incorporated herein by reference to Annex A of the Company’s definitive
proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on June 29, 2009.
