On May 6, 2013, the Board of Directors of Analog Devices appointed Vincent Roche as President and Chief Executive Officer of Analog Devices, and elected him to the Board of Directors of the Company. Mr. Roche, 53, has served as the Company’s President since November 2012 and has served as the Company’s interim Chief Executive Officer since March 29, 2013 following the death of Jerald G. Fishman. Previously, Mr. Roche was the Company’s Vice President, Sales and Strategic Market Segments Group from 2009 to November 2012, was the Company’s Vice President, Worldwide Sales from 2001 to 2009. There are no reportable family relationships or related person transactions involving Analog Devices and Mr. Roche.
In connection with his appointment, commencing on May 6, 2013, the Compensation Committee approved an annual base salary for Mr. Roche of $715,000, and established his annual bonus target percentage under the Analog Devices executive bonus plan at 150% of his annual base salary. In addition, the Company will grant Mr. Roche (i) non-qualified stock options to purchase Analog Devices common stock valued at $750,000 at an exercise price equal to the closing price of Analog Devices common stock on the grant date, and (ii) restricted stock units (RSUs) valued at $750,000. The dollar value of each award will be converted to shares on or prior to the grant date. Each award will be granted on June 17, 2013 (or the next succeeding day that NASDAQ is open) pursuant to the Company’s 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, and will be subject to the standard terms and conditions of the Company’s form of stock option and restricted stock unit agreements, previously filed.
