| Item 5. | Other Events |
On December 23, 2003, Kronos Incorporated (the “Company”) filed its definitive proxy materials in connection with its 2004 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. In those materials the Company asked its stockholders to approve a proposal to increase the number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), available for issuance under the Company’s 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2002 Plan”) from 2,550,000 shares to 5,000,000, reflecting an increase of 2,450,000 shares (the “Stock Plan Proposal”).
In response to comments received regarding the Stock Plan Proposal, on February 2, 2003, the Company’s board of directors voted to amend the 2002 Plan to limit the number of shares of Common Stock issuable thereunder to 4,850,000 shares, notwithstanding the number of shares authorized under the Stock Plan Proposal. Furthermore, the board of directors voted that in order to amend, modify or otherwise terminate the foregoing limitation, the Company must obtain the affirmative consent of a majority of the shares of outstanding Common Stock present and properly cast at a subsequent annual or special meeting of stockholders.
As a result of this board action, even if the Company’s stockholders approve the Stock Plan Proposal, the Company will issue no more than 2,300,000 shares of the 2,450,000 shares under the 2002 Plan otherwise approved for issuance by the Company’s stockholders.
