MAVENIR SYSTEMS INC FILES (8-K) Disclosing Change in Directors or Principal Officers


(Edgar Glimpses Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(e) Payments to Named Executive Officers under the Executive Bonus Plan for Fiscal 2013 In May 2013, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Mavenir Systems, Inc. (the "Company"), on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee"), approved the performance objectives for fiscal 2013 under the Executive Bonus Plan (the "2013 EBP").



Pursuant to the 2013 EBP, each eligible employee, including certain of the Company's named executive officers, has a target cash bonus amount (expressed as a percentage of base salary) that becomes payable upon the achievement of certain corporate performance metrics and individual performance objectives.

Payouts under the 2013 EBP were determined by reference to the achievement of corporate financial performance objectives related to the Company's revenue and operating income (loss). The revenue objective represented 50% of each named executive officer's target payout, and the operating income (loss) objective represented 30% of each named executive officer's target payout. An additional 20% payout was related to the achievement of officer-specific management by objective (MBO) goals, 75% of which related to achievement of quarterly revenue targets and 25% of which related to officer-specific goals.


On March 19, 2014, the Board, based on the recommendations of the Compensation Committee, reviewed the Company's fiscal 2013 performance with respect to the performance objectives under the 2013 EBP. The Board approved certain adjustments to the calculation of the operating income (loss) performance objective for certain expenses related to the Company's initial public offering, based on the recommendations of the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee. The Board determined that (i) the Company had exceeded the performance objective target for revenue, (ii) the Company had achieved the threshold level for partial payout for operating income (loss) after taking into account the adjustments noted above, and (iii) each of Mr. Kohli and Mr. Hungle had achieved his MBO goals. Each performance objective was measured independently of the other objectives.

Based on the Company's performance in fiscal 2013 and the individual contributions of each of the Company's named executive officers set forth below, the Board awarded such named executive officers cash bonuses under the 2013 EBP in the amounts shown in the table below.
