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

 

The Board of Directors of Lantronix, Inc. (the “Company”) previously approved amended and restated versions of the Company’s 2020 Performance Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) and the Company’s 2013 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), subject in each case to approval of the amendments described below by the Company’s stockholders. At the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders held on November 8, 2022 (the “Annual Meeting”), the Company’s stockholders approved the amendments to the Incentive Plan and the ESPP. Among other things, the amendments to the Incentive Plan (i) increase the aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for award grants under the plan by 1,800,000 shares (so that the new aggregate share limit for the Incentive Plan is 5,349,047 shares); (ii) modify the Incentive Plan’s share-counting rules to provide that shares withheld to satisfy the exercise price or tax withholding obligations of awards under the Incentive Plan or the Company’s 2010 Stock Incentive Plan will not be available for new awards under the Incentive Plan and that, upon exercise of a stock appreciation rights award settled in shares, the gross number of underlying shares as to which the exercise relates will be counted against the plan’s share limit; and (iii) clarify that any dividends and/or dividend equivalents credited to a participant as to an unvested award will be subject to the same vesting requirements as the corresponding portion of the award to which they relate. Among other things, the amendments to the ESPP (i) increase the aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued under the plan by 500,000 shares (so that the new limit on the number of shares that may be issued under the ESPP is 1,800,000 shares); and (ii) extend the term of the ESPP until August 9, 2032.

 

The preceding summaries of the Incentive Plan and the ESPP are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full texts of the Incentive Plan and the ESPP, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 hereto, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
