Item 5.02
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On March 23, 2015, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Ellie Mae, Inc. (the “Company”) amended and restated the 2015 Senior Executive Performance Share Program that was originally adopted on February 11, 2015 (the “Program”) under the terms of the Company’s 2011 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the “2011 Plan”). A brief description of the terms and conditions of the Program were described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 13, 2015, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Under the amended and restated Program, the number of shares of common stock issued pursuant to the Performance Shares (as such term is defined in the Program) shall not exceed 70,180 shares, as adjusted to reflect stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends or similar events.
In addition, the Board added Joseph Tyrrell and Cathleen Schreiner Gates as participants in the Program, in connection with their appointment as executive officers of the Company. The Board granted 5,162 Performance Shares to each of Mr. Tyrrell and Ms. Schreiner Gates. These grants will be subject to the same terms and conditions as the grants made to the Company’s other executive Officers on February 11, 2015.
