On October 17, 2013, the Board of Directors of Cirrus Logic, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Christine King to serve as a director to fill a vacancy created when the Board increased the number of authorized directors from six to seven pursuant to section 3.2 of the Company’s bylaws. There was not and is not any arrangement or understanding between Ms. King and any other person pursuant to which Ms. King was selected to be a director. The Board has not yet determined whether to name Ms. King to any of its committees.
Ms. King will receive the standard compensation and equity awards available to other non-employee directors of the Company as described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement dated June 30, 2013. In particular, upon her appointment, Ms. King is entitled to receive equity-based compensation in the form of an option to purchase shares of our common stock, fixed on the date of grant, that has a fair market value on the date of grant equal to $225,000. The option vests 25% after one year and the remainder vests ratably each month over the next 36 months. In addition, Ms. King, as a non-employee director, will receive a quarterly cash retainer in the amount of $11,250.
