Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On May 7, 2018, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Facebook, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Jeffrey D. Zients as a member of the Board and as a member of the Audit Committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”), in each case effective immediately following the conclusion of the Company’s 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2018 Annual Meeting”). A copy of the Company’s Newsroom post announcing the appointment is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
There is no arrangement or understanding with any person pursuant to which Mr. Zients was appointed as a member of the Board. In accordance with the Company’s existing compensation policy with respect to non-employee directors who are sitting members of the Board as of the date of its annual meeting of stockholders, Mr. Zients will receive an annual retainer fee of $50,000 for service on the Board, an additional annual retainer fee of $20,000 for service on the Audit Committee, and an annual grant of restricted stock units (the “RSU Award”) equal to $300,000 divided by the average daily closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock in May of such year. The RSU Award will vest fully on the earlier of (i) May 15, 2019 or (ii) the date of the Company’s 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders if Mr. Zients does not stand for re-election or is not re-elected at such annual meeting, so long as Mr. Zients is a director on such date.
In addition to the compensation that Mr. Zients will receive in connection with his appointment as a member of the Board, the Company intends to enter into its standard form of indemnification agreement with Mr. Zients. The indemnification agreement, among other things, would require the Company to indemnify Mr. Zients for certain expenses incurred by him in any action or proceeding arising out of his service as a member of the Board. A form of the indemnification agreement was previously filed by the Company as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-179287), as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 1, 2012, as subsequently amended.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On May 7, 2018, the Board appointed Kenneth I. Chenault to replace Susan D. Desmond-Hellmann on the Audit Committee, and appointed Dr. Desmond-Hellmann to replace Marc L. Andreessen on the Compensation & Governance Committee of the Board, in each case effective immediately.
