Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 12, 2005, Google Inc. held its annual stockholders meeting. At the meeting, the stockholders approved, among other things, the amended Google 2004 Stock Plan.
The 2004 Stock Plan includes, among other things, the following three amendments:
(1) An increase to the number of shares available under the 2004 Stock Plan by an additional seven million shares of Class A common stock for a total of 13,431,660 shares, and the removal of the requirement that the number of shares available under the 2004 Stock Plan be reduced by the number of shares subject to options granted after December 31, 2003 under Google’s 1998 Stock Plan, 1999 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan, 2000 Stock Plan, 2003 Stock Plan, 2003 Stock Plan (No. 2), and 2003 Stock Plan (No. 3).
(2) A provision that provides that the number of shares available under the 2004 Stock Plan will not be reduced by any shares that are withheld in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations.
(3) The addition of provisions that will provide Google with the ability to deduct for federal income tax purposes, if certain requirements are met, compensation, including equity compensation, in excess of $1 million that Google may pay to certain of its executive officers in any single year pursuant to the 2004 Stock Plan in connection with restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, performance units and performance shares, as well as options.
A copy of the 2004 Stock Plan, as amended, is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.17. A more extensive discussion of the terms of the 2004 Stock Plan, as amended, is set forth in Google’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 8, 2005.
