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

(e)    On May 29, 2019, Bright Horizons Family Solutions Inc. (the “Company”) held its annual meeting of shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) and the Company’s shareholders voted to approve the Company’s 2012 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan, as Amended and Restated (the “Amended Equity Plan”), as further described below in this Item 5.07, effective as of May 29, 2019.

Key employees, directors, consultants and advisors of the Company and its affiliates are eligible to receive awards under the Amended Equity Plan. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be delivered in satisfaction of awards under the Amended 2012 Plan is 2,940,082 shares, subject to certain adjustments (plus any shares that again become available for grant under the terms of the Amended Equity Plan), which is calculated as follows: 2,350,000 shares of common stock, plus 590,082 shares of common stock, which is the number of shares of common stock that remained available for awards under the existing equity plan as of April 4, 2019. In addition to increasing the number of shares of common stock available for awards under the Amended Equity Plan, other principal changes made by the Amended Equity Plan were to (i) limit the maximum grant date value of shares subject to awards granted to any non-employee director during any calendar year, plus any cash retainer and other fees paid to any non-employee director during such calendar year, to $500,000; (ii) remove the ability to grant cash awards; (iii) reflect changes to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; (iv) implement a one-year minimum vesting schedule (subject to a carve-out of up to 5% of the shares reserved for issuance under the Amended Equity Plan, subject to adjustment as described in the Amended Equity Plan); (v) extend the term of the Amended Equity Plan; and (vi) update certain definitions and make corresponding and appropriate clarifying changes and updates. It is not possible to determine specific amounts and types of awards that may be granted under the Amended Equity Plan after the Annual Meeting because the grant and payment of such awards will be subject to the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company.

The summary of the Amended Equity Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended Equity Plan, which is attached as an exhibit hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
