Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On September 28, 2015, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Accuray Incorporated (the “Company”) approved a Form of 2016 Market Stock Unit Grant Notice and Market Stock Unit Agreement (the “MSU Agreement”) to be used to set forth the terms of grants of market stock units to certain participants under the Company’s 2007 Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”), including the Company’s named executive officers.

 

The MSU Agreement contemplates that there will be two performance periods specified by the Committee and that one half of the market stock units underlying the grant memorialized by the MSU Agreement will vest upon the Committee’s certification that the Company has achieved certain specified performance goals during the first performance period and the other half of the market stock units will vest upon the Committee’s certification that the Company has achieved certain specified performance goals during the second performance period.  Pursuant to the MSU Agreement, a participant will forfeit the unvested portion of the award in the event that the participant ceases to be an employee, consultant, or director of the Company for any reason prior to the award vesting in full or in the event that the Company fails to meet the specified performance goals for the performance period to which the vesting of such unvested market stock units is tied.

 

The description set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K is a summary and is therefore qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the MSU Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and incorporated herein by reference.
