EXPLANATORY NOTE


This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this "Amendment") amends Radisys Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 28, 2018 (the "Original Filing").  We are filing this Amendment to include the information required by Part III of Form 10-K, which was not included in the Original Filing because we planned to include such information in a definitive Proxy Statement. However, we will not file a definitive Proxy Statement with the SEC within 120 days after the end of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. Accordingly, such information is included in our Form 10-K by this Amendment.


This Amendment also contains new certifications pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which are attached hereto. Because no financial statements are included in this Amendment and this Amendment does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4, and 5 of the Section 302 certifications have been omitted.


Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Filing. The Original Filing continues to speak as of the date of the Original Filing, and we have not updated the disclosures contained therein to reflect any events which occurred at a date subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing. In this Amendment, unless context otherwise requires, or as otherwise indicated, "we," "us," "our" and similar terms, as well as references to the "Company" and "Radisys" refer to Radisys Corporation and include all of our consolidated subsidiaries.

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes the compensation program for our Named Executive Officers. During 2017, these individuals were:

|- | -----------------------------------------------------------
|• | Stephen Collins, our former Vice President of Global Sales.




This Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes the material elements of our executive compensation program during 2017. It also provides an overview of our executive compensation philosophy and objectives and discusses how and why the Compensation and Development Committee of our Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) arrived at the specific compensation decisions for each of our named executive officers.





On November 16, 2017, Stephen Collins, our Vice President of Global Sales, left the Company.





The Company experienced significant business and financial headwinds in 2017 due in large part to a material shortfall in revenues relative to the Company’s operating plan from its largest customer. During the year, the Company’s largest customer elected to discontinue its internal program which leveraged the Company’s DCEngine products, and coupled with limited traction in securing new customer engagements, DCEngine revenues missed 2017 revenue objectives by nearly $65 million. Further, while the telecom industry continues to undergo significant disruption, the timing of securing new programs with customers resulted in delays in expected revenue within the Company’s Software-Systems business. Taken together, this resulted in a decline in total revenue of over $70 million from 2016 levels and a significant shortfall against the Company’s original 2017 expectations. The impact of these shortfalls resulted in significant operating losses and inventory write-downs specifically within the Company’s Hardware Solutions segment.





Our Compensation Committee and management team have had a longstanding commitment to pay-for-performance. This has been evidenced during the last several years by our efforts to align our executive compensation strategy with our business strategy with incentives, including performance-based vesting for equity awards that tie realized compensation for our executives with goals that will drive long-term shareholder return. In fiscal 2017, consistent with this pay-for-performance philosophy and due to the shortfalls relative to our operating plan, the Company missed its internal targets for cash variable and performance equity compensation and accordingly no cash variable compensation was earned, or paid, relative to 2017 results, and performance-based equity awards were unearned.





As a result of the underlying changes in its business, the Company announced material restructuring actions in early 2018 to reduce costs across the Hardware Solutions segment while also focusing strategically on the go-forward Software-Systems segment. Moving forward, the Company expects to derive an increasing proportion of its revenue from its high margin Software-Systems business and as revenue from this business scales it is expected to enable the Company to return to positive levels of earnings and cash flow in the second half of 2018. Our Compensation Committee remains committed to a strong pay-for-performance approach during this transition. The Compensation Committee regularly reviews our approach to pay, considering input from an independent compensation consultant, to deliver executive compensation in an approach that:





|  |                                                                              
|- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|• | rewards for short-term performance that is critical to our long-term success;

|  |                                                                                                               
|- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|• | emphasizes long-term vesting equity to retain our executives and reward them for sustained value creation; and

|  |                                                                                   
|- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|• | is competitive with market norms and results in a reasonable cost to shareholders.




Fiscal 2017 Executive Compensation Highlights





Based on our overall operating environment and these results, the following key compensation actions were taken with respect to the Named Executive Officers for fiscal 2017:

increase in base salary to $300,000, which reflected an increase of approximately 9% from the salary rate in effect prior to the adjustment. In the case of our VP of Global Sales, the Compensation Committee approved an increase in base salary to $290,000, which reflected an increase of approximately 5% from the salary rate in effect prior to the adjustment. The Compensation Committee also approved a 5% increase in target compensation under our Variable Compensation Plan for our VP of Global Sales. The Compensation Committee approved these changes following a review of performance and to more closely align target compensation to the 50 th percentile.

|• | Short-Term Cash Bonuses -No cash bonuses were paid to our Named Executive Officers. The 2017 short-term cash bonus plan funding was tied to strategic revenue (Software-Systems and DCEngine) attainment, for which the Company did not meet minimum levels required to fund any payout under the plan.

|• | Continued Emphasis on Performance-Based Equity -In early 2017, the Compensation Committee modified the long-term incentive component of our executive compensation program to change the long-term incentive mix to consist of time-based restricted stock units (“RSU”) and performance-based RSU awards that may be settled for shares of our common stock based on our achievement of pre-established target levels for strategic revenue in 2017 and 2018. This mix was designed to reflect the expected stabilization of our business and an increased ability to tie our long-term incentive compensation opportunities to longer-term projected financial goals. Note that given the material reduction in go-forward DCEngine expectations, of which revenue from this product line was incorporated in the strategic revenue targets, the Company now expects the performance-based RSUs will not vest in future periods and such shares will be returned to the 2007 Stock Plan upon expiration of the performance measures.




The changes to our compensation program in 2017 reflected our desire to maintain a strong pay-for-performance culture and to continue to align compensation program with our business strategy. Our management team and Compensation Committee are engaged on an ongoing basis in reviewing our executive compensation program and communicating with our largest shareholders to better understand their views on our business, our turnaround strategy, and how we could best position our executive compensation program to support this strategy. Feedback from our shareholders was an important consideration in the determination of the compensation strategy applicable to our Named Executive Officers in 2017.





Fiscal 2018 Executive Compensation Considerations





In order to align to the Company’s strategic direction and shareholder interests, and to retain and motivate essential executive team members necessary to further accelerate momentum in the Company’s strategic product lines, the Compensation Committee critically reviewed all aspects of the executive compensation program in late 2017 and early 2018. As a result of the material changes in the Company’s business tied predominantly to DCEngine, coupled with the challenge in predicting future revenues for purposes of establishing appropriate long-term performance targets, the Compensation Committee elected to move the mix of equity awards in 2018 to be 100% time-based stock options. In approving this change, the Compensation Committee considered that stock options are an inherently performance-based instrument for Radisys at the current stage in the Company’s development, with sustained shareholder value creation being the primary objective at this time.





Further, the short-term cash bonus program will be funded based on the attainment of non-GAAP operating income against plan targets. The Compensation Committee believes these awards align directly with the interests of shareholders by incenting management to return the Company to non-GAAP profitability near-term and then creating value for the executive management team and other key leaders longer term based on stock price appreciation.





Compensation Philosophy





As the Company has progressed through its strategic transformation over the past several years, the Compensation Committee maintained a strong pay-for-performance philosophy that is competitive with other similarly sized technology companies.  In addition, the Compensation Committee set clear guiding principles for executive compensation programs to ensure strategic alignment with the business direction with a focus on building shareholder value, providing motivation and incentive for stretch performance and retention and simplicity of plan designs. The Company's executive compensation programs are designed to reflect the following key objectives:





|  |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
|- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|• | To attract and retain executives needed to achieve the Company's business objectives.  This objective is achieved through no less than annual reviews of executive total compensation and benefit programs to ensure market competitiveness.

|  |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
|- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|• | To substantially link executive compensation with the achievement of near-term operating plans.  This is achieved through variable compensation programs which are directly aligned to short-term goals of improving levels of operating income.

|- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|• | To provide the opportunity for additional variable compensation through the achievement of longer-term strategic objectives and the creation of shareholder value. This is achieved through the issuance of awards under equity-based compensation programs and includes the use of performance-based equity for which realized compensation is a function of stock price appreciation and/or financial goals such as year-on-year revenue growth.




The Compensation Committee believes the amount of variable or "at risk" compensation tied to meeting company objectives should increase as a percentage of an executive's overall compensation as the executive’s level of responsibility increases.  An executive's target compensation is based on his/her job scope and level of responsibility, with a large portion of the opportunity tied to Company performance and shareholder return.  We believe the Company’s balance between base salary and both short- and long-term variable compensation is competitive with other similar companies in the industry peer group.





Pay for Performance





Our compensation program is designed to rely heavily on variable, at-risk compensation such that the value realized by our Named Executive Officers increases or decreases based on the overall performance of the Company.  When determining the targets for executive variable compensation, the Compensation Committee selects metrics that it believes are most closely tied to the market’s expectation of both near-term financial objectives and those strategic goals necessary for long-term success.  In 2017, variable cash compensation was contingent upon the achievement of consolidated revenue, while performance-based equity vesting was dependent upon achievement of certain levels of strategic product revenue growth and non-GAAP operating income.





As illustrated below, a majority of the target compensation for our Named Executive Officers in 2017 was performance-based, with the ability to realize value tied to the achievement of pre-specified objectives approved by the Compensation Committee. In addition, the value of RSUs granted to our Named Executive Officers is linked directly to our shareholder return during the vesting term. At approximately 50%, the portion of compensation awarded to our Named Executive Officers in 2017 that was performance-based was above market norms among companies included in our compensation peer group. This emphasis on pay-for-performance is intended to drive the ongoing alignment of interests between our executives and shareholders, and to provide meaningful upside opportunity where results exceed expectations.

Shareholder Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation


At the annual meeting of shareholders held in 2017, shareholders voted to hold an advisory vote to approve the compensation of our Named Executive Officers on an annual basis; consequently, the Board decided to provide our shareholders an opportunity to vote to approve the compensation of our Named Executive Officers on an annual basis. Although the advisory votes to approve the compensation of our Named Executive Officers are non-binding, the Board of Directors will review the results of the votes and will take them into account in making future determinations concerning compensation of our Named Executive Officers.


The most recent shareholder advisory vote on compensation of Named Executive Officers, which was held in 2017, resulted in a 90% vote “For” the approval of the compensation of the Company's Named Executive Officers (excluding broker non-votes). Accordingly, no changes to the Company's executive compensation programs were made as a result of the shareholder advisory vote, but the Company intends to continue emphasizing its pay for performance compensation philosophy aligned with our discussions with our shareholders that focused on the turnaround strategy and changes to our executive compensation program to drive strong alignment of our compensation programs with shareholder interests.


Section II: Governance of Compensation Program





The Board of Directors has delegated responsibility to the Compensation Committee for final approval of executive base salary, variable cash compensation, equity compensation, as well as any executive employment offers, executive change of control agreements, severance agreements and other executive compensation programs. The Compensation Committee also guides executive development programs and succession planning in order to maintain and develop the Company's leadership team. The Compensation Committee maintains an annual calendar to guide the timing of its review, analysis, and decision-making related to executive compensation, benefits and development programs.


The Compensation Committee and the Chairman of the Board assess the performance of the Chief Executive Officer annually. The Chief Executive Officer's performance review process includes a Chief Executive Officer self-appraisal, a formal Board of Directors evaluation process as well as a performance appraisal delivered by the Chairman of the Board of Directors.  The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for assessing the performance of each executive reporting to him.





The Compensation Committee reviews compensation recommendations provided by management and approves all final executive compensation-related decisions. Under the oversight of the Compensation Committee, the Chief Executive Officer and Vice President of Human Resources have responsibility for the implementation of executive compensation programs.





Process


The Compensation Committee conducts a formal review of each executive's compensation on an annual basis or more frequently if needed. The Compensation Committee’s review consists of the following: comparing the cash and equity components of each executive's pay to market data for similar positions; considering recommendations provided by the Chief Executive Officer and Vice President of Human Resources; assessing individual performance; and aligning any pay changes with market and company performance. The Compensation Committee reviews the mix of base salary, variable cash compensation and equity compensation, but does not attempt to target a specific percentage allocation as each compensation element is compared to market survey data.





"Tally sheets" are used to consider and evaluate the total potential compensation of executives from all sources upon various scenarios and any benefits associated with termination of employment. Based on this analysis, the Compensation Committee is able to make market-based decisions that are aligned to the Company's financial and strategic direction.





Role of the Compensation Consultant





In fulfilling its duties and responsibilities, the Compensation Committee has the authority to engage the services of outside advisers. In fiscal 2017, the Compensation Committee continued to engage Compensia, Inc., a national compensation consulting firm, to assist it with compensation matters. A representative of Compensia, Inc. regularly attended meetings of the Compensation Committee, responded to committee members’ inquiries, and provided its analysis with respect to these inquiries.

Peer Group





In 2017, the Compensation Committee reviewed the Company’s existing peer group and did not make any material changes. The Compensation Committee reviews the peer group at least annually and anticipates making further revisions over time as the Company evolves. The Compensation Committee will utilize peer data to review total shareholder return as a part of its pay for performance linkage, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer compensation and general compensation practices.


The following companies were selected and utilized as peer companies in 2017:


Allot Communications Ltd.AudioCodes Ltd.RadwareA10 NetworksHarmonic, Inc.RealNetworksAerohive NetworksPCTEL, Inc.Sonus Networks Inc.


The Compensation Committee uses data from our compensation peer group as well as data from the Radford Global Technology compensation survey when determining the total direct compensation packages for our executive officers. The Radford executive compensation survey data supplements the compensation peer group data and provides additional information for the Named Executive Officers and positions for which there is limited public comparable data available.





Risk Considerations





The Compensation Committee conducted an assessment of the Company's compensation policies and practices to identify any potential risk arising from such policies and practices that could be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.  The assessment covered all compensation elements and included an analysis of overall compensation costs (including both fixed and variable incentive components), compensation plan participation by employee group (sales vs. employees vs. senior leaders), metrics and performance goals. No potential risks that could be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect were identified.





Section III: Elements of Executive Compensation





The following table outlines elements of direct compensation of Named Executive Officers in 2017 and how it aligns with the Company's philosophy and business strategy.

The amount of any merit increase is determined based on a combination of factors, including the current position of the executive's pay against market data and the executive's experience, performance and results during the past year. The Compensation Committee may determine that an individual executive's base salary should be above or below the benchmark based on the executive officer's job responsibilities and/or experience level and may adjust an executive’s salary during the annual review process or at such other time as the Compensation Committee deems necessary or advisable.

In March 2017, the Compensation Committee determined to make no changes to the base salary rates for our President and CEO. The Compensation Committee approved an increase in the base salary of our Chief Financial Officer in March 2017 from $275,000 to $300,000 to move toward alignment with the 50 th percentile of our peer group and Radford Global Technology survey.


In March 2017, the Compensation Committee approved an increase in the base salary of our VP, Global Sales from $278,000 to $290,000 and a 5% increase in Mr. Collins’ variable target to move toward alignment with the 50 th percentile of our peer group and Radford Global Technology survey.





Short-Term Incentive Plans





Variable Cash Compensation targets are expressed as a percentage of base salary. The targets are determined at the time of hire or promotion and are typically reviewed annually against industry benchmark data for comparable positions. An executive's variable target is generally aligned to the 50 th percentile of our peer group and Radford Global Technology survey. Exceptions may exist based on an executive officer's job responsibilities and/or experience level.





The table below describes the target bonus opportunities applicable to our Named Executive Officers during 2017. For executives other than Mr. Collins, bonus opportunities were tied to our 2017 Variable Compensation Plan, which is described in detail below. For Mr. Collins, 50% of the target bonus was tied to the 2017 Variable Compensation Plan and 50% was tied our Sales Commission Plan.

Plan performance targets (including minimum funding levels, target funding levels and maximum payout levels) are established and approved by the Compensation Committee at the beginning of the performance period, typically in conjunction with the annual operating plan process, and are based on current business and economic conditions, the financial planning process and affordability. Plan performance targets are directly tied to achieving financial performance and/or strategic objectives of the Company and may include an individual performance component.





Individual performance objectives for each executive are developed by the Chief Executive Officer in consultation with the affected executive and then reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee reviews the Chief Executive Officer's assessment of executive performance in relation to objectives.





The Compensation Committee ultimately decides the amounts paid to each executive with such quantitative and qualitative modifications as the Compensation Committee may make at its discretion.





The 2017 Variable Compensation Plan was designed to support the Company's pay for performance philosophy and motivate and compensate executives for the achievement of consolidated revenue (the “Variable Compensation Plan”).





The Variable Compensation Plan provided an opportunity for executives to earn from 0% to 200% of target variable compensation based on the pre-defined levels of consolidated revenue.





In 2017, the Company delivered consolidated revenue of $133.8 million, which did not meet the minimum Variable Compensation Plan funding targets and accordingly no cash variable compensation was earned or paid under the Variable Compensation Plan.





Mr. Collins had 50% of his total target incentive compensation tied to the Sales Commission Plan . Below is the breakout of the goals under that plan.

Changes for 2018 Variable Compensation Plan





For 2018, following a comprehensive review of our compensation programs, business strategy and pay-for-performance objectives, the Compensation Committee approved changes to the performance measurement methodology under the Variable Compensation Plan. The 2018 Variable Compensation Plan will fund 100% based upon the attainment of non-GAAP operating income per the Company’s 2018 operating plan, with funding for Named Executive Officers beginning only when the Company achieves post-variable compensation non-GAAP operating income and up to a maximum payout threshold of 200%.  In addition, the 2018 Variable Compensation Plan will be funded based on annual performance. The Compensation Committee believes non-GAAP operating income is the appropriate metric to drive 2018 variable cash compensation as it aligns directly with the Company’s primary near-term objective to stabilize operating results and return to profitability. As in 2016 and 2017, the 2018 Variable Compensation Plan will include individual performance objectives that are designed to reward specific strategic objectives expected to materially advance the Company’s long-term strategy.





Equity Compensation in the form of stock options, RSUs, and/or performance-based shares are awarded to executive officers and key individuals because it is a highly effective way to align the interests of management and shareholders and motivate management to drive long-term shareholder value. The Compensation Committee intends to continue its practice of granting equity awards with vesting measures that strongly align with creating shareholder value.





Industry benchmark data for comparable executive positions is used to establish target equity values at the time of grant.  The total annual grant value for an executive, which may include options, RSUs and/or performance-based equity, is targeted at the 50 th percentile of market.





In addition to reviewing benchmark data to determine equity grant levels, the retentive value of past grants for each executive is reviewed to ensure that the value of unvested equity grants is in line with benchmarks and is of sufficient value to retain and provide strong performance incentive for the executive in future years.





The Black-Scholes methodology is used for valuing options and the grant date fair value is used for valuing both RSUs and performance-based shares (see Note 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Original Filing for a description of Black-Scholes methodology and assumptions used).

Time-based equity incentives and performance-based incentives are granted under the 2007 Stock Plan for annual refresh, promotion and retentive purposes. Annual refresh grants are typically made during the first quarter of each fiscal year. Performance-based RSUs vest only upon achievement of certain financial or strategic metrics.





All equity grants to newly hired executives and refresher grants to existing executives are reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee, on the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer, using the abovementioned factors of market data, the total retention value, and the executive's projected level of future contribution.





Grants of equity awards are made at predetermined times and are not intentionally scheduled to coincide with the disclosure of favorable or unfavorable information. Each year the Compensation Committee reviews whether refresher grants are necessary to continue to motivate management and employees while providing long-term incentives.





Long-Term Incentive Grants





Equity continues to be a substantial component of the Company’s compensation strategy and is intended to attract, retain and motivate key talent to achieve the Company's strategic objectives. In support of these strategic objectives, a combination of performance and time-based shares are utilized.





2017 Grants





In March 2017, the Compensation Committee approved performance-based and time-based RSU awards under the Company’s 2007 Stock Plan to certain senior executives. The time-based RSU awards vest one-third of the total shares on May 15, 2018, May 15, 2019 and May 15, 2020.





The performance-based RSUs will vest only if certain strategic revenue targets are achieved during our 2017 and 2018 fiscal years. Specifically, 50% of shares granted to executives will be earned based on achievement of targeted levels of strategic revenue during performance periods that correspond to each of our fiscal year 2017and 2018. The strategic revenue goals for 2017 and 2018 were established at the grant date of the award in March 2017, and included threshold, target and maximum levels of performance for each fiscal year that would allow for shares to be earned between 75% and 125% of target for each performance period, if at all. In addition, shares can be earned based on achievement of threshold, target and maximum levels of strategic revenue based on the cumulative two-year period including fiscal 2017 and 2018. Fifty percent of earned shares will vest at the conclusion of the performance period during which they are earned, with the remaining 50% of earned shares vesting one year later.





As a result of the significant shortfall in DCEngine revenues relative to the Company’s initial 2017 expectations, coupled with the Company’s go-forward expectations for this product line, no shares vested related to the 2017 targets, and the Compensation Committee currently does not expect any of the performance-based equity granted in March 2017 to vest in the future.





The table below details the number of stock price-based vesting restricted stock units and RSUs granted to each of our Named Executive Officers in 2017.

Benefits and Perquisites





Executives are provided with the same benefit options as those provided to other employees in the same location. The U.S.-based employee benefit program includes medical, dental and vision plans, an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), a 401(k) plan, tuition reimbursement, life insurance and short- and long-term disability coverage.








16


---







Executives do not receive any special perquisites such as club memberships, pension plans, automobile allowances or dwellings for personal use. Relocation packages to newly hired executives and other newly hired employees are defined within the Company's hiring policy and are based on standard market practices for executive-level relocation.


Stock Ownership Policy





We maintain a stock ownership policy for our Named Executive Officers to further align their interests with the interests of our shareholders and to further promote our commitment to sound corporate governance. The Company's ownership guidelines are three times base salary or 300,000 shares for the Chief Executive Officer and one times base salary or 100,000 shares for all other executive officers. All Named Executive Officers are expected to be “net” buyers, increasing total ownership after any vesting or forfeiture of shares for tax purposes, until stock ownership requirements are fulfilled within a five-year grace period. Of our current executive officers, all have reached this ownership goal.





Section IV: Employment and Termination Agreements





Executive officers are parties to various severance agreements, change of control agreements, or both, entered into pursuant to guidelines adopted by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee believes these agreements may be necessary or advisable to keep executive officers focused on the best interests of shareholders at times that may otherwise cause a lack of focus due to personal economic exposure and potential change for the Company. Further, the Compensation Committee believes that they are necessary or advisable for retentive purposes to provide a measure of support to executive officers who may receive offers of employment from competitors that would provide severance or change of control benefits.





Consistent with the practice of a substantial number of companies in the peer group, the change of control agreements provide for a "double trigger" payout only in the event there is a change in control and the executive officer is either terminated from his or her position (other than for cause, death or disability) or resigns for "good reason," which generally means that he or she is moved into a position that represents a substantial change in responsibilities or is required to relocate a substantial distance within a limited period of time after the transaction (i.e. these agreements do not become operative unless both events occur).





See “Potential Post-Employment Payments” under the Summary Compensation Table for severance and change of control benefits provided to Named Executive Officers.





Section V:  Deductibility of Compensation





Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”) limits to $1,000,000 per person the amount the Company may deduct for compensation paid to the Chief Executive Officer and the three highest compensated officers who are Named Executive Officers (other than the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer) in any year. The level of salary and annual cash incentive payments the Company generally pays to executive officers does not exceed this limit. For taxable years prior to December 31, 2017, Section 162(m) specifically exempts certain performance-based compensation from the deduction limit. However, the exemption from Section 162(m)’s deduction limit for qualified performance-based compensation has been repealed, effective for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017. The repeal means that compensation paid to our covered executive officers in excess of $1,000,000 will no longer be deductible even if it was intended to constitute qualified performance-based compensation unless it qualifies for transition relief applicable to certain arrangements in place as of November 2, 2017. The intent of the Compensation Committee is to design compensation that will further the purposes of the executive compensation program. The Compensation Committee will, however, take into consideration various other factors described in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis, together with Section 162(m) considerations, in making executive compensation decisions and retains the ability to authorize compensation that is not fully tax-deductible.





Section VI:  Non-GAAP Financial Measures





In order to evaluate the Company's performance for purposes of determining executive compensation, the Company considers a combination of consolidated and strategic revenue, non-GAAP operating income, and non-GAAP earnings per share. Non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP earnings per share exclude certain expenses, gains and losses, such as the effects of (a) amortization of acquired intangible assets, (b) stock-based compensation expense, (c) restructuring and other charges (reversals), net, (d) non-cash income tax expense, (e) gain on the liquidation of foreign subsidiaries, and (f) restructuring inventory write-down. The Company believes that the use of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful information to investors to gain an overall understanding of its current financial performance and its prospects for the future.


Specifically, the Company believes the non-GAAP results provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses, gains and losses that the Company believes are not indicative of its core operating results. In





17


---







addition, non-GAAP financial measures are used by management for budgeting and forecasting as well as subsequently measuring the Company's performance, and the Company believes that it is providing investors with financial measures that most closely align to its internal measurement processes. These non-GAAP measures are considered to be reflective of the Company's core operating results as they more closely reflect the essential revenue-generating activities of the Company and direct operating expenses (resulting in cash expenditures) needed to perform these revenue-generating activities. The Company also believes, based on feedback provided to the Company during its earnings calls' Q&A sessions and discussions with the investment community, that the non-GAAP financial measures it provides are necessary to allow the investment community to construct their valuation models to better align its results and projections with its competitors and market sector, as there is significant variability and unpredictability across companies with respect to certain expenses, gains and losses.





The non-GAAP financial information is presented using a consistent methodology from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. The Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate the Company's results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP financial measures.





A reconciliation of non-GAAP information to GAAP information is included in the tables below. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for or superior to financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, and reconciliations between GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures included in this earnings release should be carefully evaluated. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Non-GAAP financial measures includes the performance of Software-Systems and Hardware Solutions. The Company excludes the following corporate and other expenses, reversals, gains and losses from its non-GAAP financial measures, when applicable:





(a) Amortization of acquired intangible assets: Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets primarily relate to core and existing technologies, trade name and customer relationships that were acquired with the acquisitions of Continuous Computing and Pactolus. The Company excludes the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets because it does not reflect the Company's ongoing business and it does not have a direct correlation to the operation of the Company's business. In addition, in accordance with GAAP, the Company generally





18


---







recognizes expenses for internally-developed intangible assets as they are incurred, notwithstanding the potential future benefit such assets may provide. Unlike internally-developed intangible assets, however, and also in accordance with GAAP, the Company generally capitalizes the cost of acquired intangible assets and recognizes that cost as an expense over the useful lives of the assets acquired. As a result of their GAAP treatment, there is an inherent lack of comparability between the financial performance of internally-developed intangible assets and acquired intangible assets. Accordingly, the Company believes it is useful to provide, as a supplement to its GAAP operating results, non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the amortization of acquired intangibles in order to enhance the period-over-period comparison of its operating results, as there is significant variability and unpredictability across companies with respect to this expense.





(b) Stock-based compensation: Stock-based compensation consists of expenses recorded under GAAP, in connection with stock awards such as stock options, restricted stock awards and restricted stock units granted under the Company's equity incentive plans and shares issued pursuant to the Company's employee stock purchase plan. The Company excludes stock-based compensation from non-GAAP financial measures because it is a non-cash measurement that does not reflect the Company's ongoing business and because the Company believes that investors want to understand the impact on the Company of the adoption of the applicable GAAP surrounding share-based payments; the Company believes that the provision of non-GAAP information that excludes stock-based compensation improves the ability of investors to compare its period-over-period operating results, as there is significant variability and unpredictability across companies with respect to this expense.





(c) Restructuring and other charges, net: Restructuring and other charges, net relates to costs associated with non-recurring events. These include costs incurred for employee severance, acquisition or divestiture activities, excess facility costs, certain legal costs, asset-related charges and other expenses associated with business restructuring activities. Restructuring and other charges are excluded from non-GAAP financial measures because they are not considered core operating activities. Although the Company has engaged in various restructuring activities over the past several years, each has been a discrete event based on a unique set of business objectives. The Company does not engage in restructuring activities in the ordinary course of business. As such, the Company believes it is appropriate to exclude restructuring charges from its non-GAAP financial measures because it enhances the ability of investors to compare the Company's period-over-period operating results.





(d) Income taxes: Non-GAAP income tax expense is equal to the Company's projected cash tax expense. Adjustments to GAAP income tax expense are required to eliminate the recognition of tax expense from profitable entities where we utilize deferred tax assets to offset current period tax liabilities. We believe that providing this non-GAAP figure is useful to our investors as it more closely represents the true economic impact of our tax positions.





(e) Loss (gain) on the liquidation of foreign subsidiaries: On a non-recurring basis we have recorded a gain or loss to reflect the realization of accumulated foreign currency translation adjustments upon the liquidation of certain international subsidiaries. This gain or loss represents the net unrealized foreign currency translation gains or losses accumulated from changes in exchange rates and the related effects from the translation of assets and liabilities of these entities. The liquidation of foreign subsidiaries occurs on an infrequent basis, and management does not view the impact of this non-cash charge as indicative of the ongoing performance of the Company. As such, the Company believes it is appropriate to exclude this gain from its non-GAAP financial measures because it enhances the ability of investors to compare the Company's period-over-period operating results.





(f) Restructuring inventory write-down: Includes inventory write-downs associated with non-recurring events, predominantly tied to the Company’s decision to end-of-life or discontinue certain products for which the Company has no future ongoing demand. During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company recorded such charges tied to discrete product decisions within its Hardware Solutions segment associated with its DCEngine and certain legacy embedded products. Restructuring inventory write-downs are excluded from non-GAAP financial measures because they are not considered core operating activities. Although the Company has incurred various inventory write-downs over the past several years, they have generally been associated with ongoing business activities. As such, the Company believes it is appropriate to exclude end-of-life and product discontinuance inventory write-downs from its non-GAAP financial measures because it enhances the ability of investors to compare the Company's period-over-period operating results.

Narrative Description of Additional Material Factors - Summary Compensation Table & 2017 Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table





Equity Incentive Plans : Grants of time-based restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units were made under the 2007 Stock Plan. Grants of time-based restricted stock units vest one-third of the total shares on each of the following dates: May 15, 2018, May 15, 2019 and May 15, 2020.





The vesting of the performance share awards granted on March 10, 2017 will be determined only if certain strategic revenue targets are achieved during our 2017 and 2018 fiscal years. Specifically, 50% of shares granted to executives will be earned based on achievement of targeted levels of strategic revenue during performance periods that correspond to each of our fiscal year 2017 and 2018. The strategic revenue goals for 2017 and 2018 were established at the grant date of the award in March 2017, and included threshold, target and maximum levels of performance for each fiscal year that would allow for shares to be earned between 75% and 125% of target for each performance period, if at all. In addition, shares can be earned based on achievement of threshold, target and maximum levels of strategic revenue based on the cumulative two-year period including fiscal 2017 and 2018. Fifty percent of earned shares will vest at the conclusion of the performance period during which they are earned, with the remaining 50% of earned shares vesting one year later.





The grant dates for equity awards during 2017 were established by the Compensation Committee during meetings prior to each grant date.





Non-Equity Incentive Plans : We maintain the Variable Compensation Plan in which executive officers are eligible for potential incentive payments dependent upon the level of achievement of non-GAAP operating income and other stated corporate goals and department/individual performance goals.





The actual incentive payouts for 2017 were calculated annually. No payouts were earned during fiscal year 2017.





For a more complete description of the salary, equity incentive plans, non-equity incentive plans, and special incentive bonuses for each Named Executive Officer, see "Compensation Discussion and Analysis."

|(15) | Performance-based Restricted Stock Units granted on March 10, 2017. The vesting will be determined if certain strategic revenue targets are achieved during fiscal 2017 and 2018. Specifically, 50% of shares granted will be earned based on achievement of targeted levels of strategic revenue during performance periods that correspond to each of our fiscal year 2017 and 2018. The strategic revenue goals for 2017 and 2018 included threshold, target and maximum levels of performance for each fiscal year that would allow for shares to be earned between 75% and 125% of target for each performance period, if at all. In addition, shares can be earned based on achievement of threshold, target and maximum levels of strategic revenue based on the cumulative two-year period including fiscal 2017 and 2018. Fifty percent of earned shares will vest at the conclusion of the performance period during which they are earned, with the remaining 50% of earned shares vesting one-year later. Unearned shares are reported at threshold level.

Potential Post-Employment Payments





The Compensation Committee has adopted guidelines on severance and change of control agreements to help ensure that written severance or change of control agreements (each, a "Change of Control Agreement") are offered to our executive officers only if special business needs indicate that such agreements are necessary or advisable.





As part of assuming the role of President and Chief Executive Officer, on October 1, 2012, we entered into a Change of Control Agreement with Brian Bronson, then our President and Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Bronson's Change of Control Agreement provides that if we terminate his employment with us (other than for cause, death or disability), or if he terminates his employment with us for good reason within 12 months following a change of control or within three months preceding a change of control, Mr. Bronson is entitled to receive severance pay in a cash amount equal to 24 months of Mr. Bronson's annual base pay at the highest annual rate in effect at any time within the 12-month period preceding the date of termination. Severance pay that is payable would be made 100 days following the termination date. Upon such termination, and in addition to severance pay, Mr. Bronson is also entitled to receive (i) up to twelve months of continued coverage pursuant to COBRA under the Company's group health plan, (ii) stock-based incentive compensation plan payout under each stock-based incentive compensation plan, partial cash-based incentive compensation plan payout, if any and (iii) up to $15,000 for the costs and expenses of any executive outplacement firm. Upon such termination, all stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units and other similar awards granted to Mr. Bronson shall be immediately exercisable in full in accordance with the applicable provisions of the relevant award agreement and the plan, and any risk of forfeiture included in any restricted stock or other similar award shall immediately lapse. Stock options (other than those considered Incentive Stock Options under the Internal Revenue Code) and stock appreciation rights shall also be amended to permit Mr. Bronson to exercise such stock options and stock appreciation rights for a period of time equal to the earlier of (i) the period of 180 days after the date of Mr. Bronson's termination; or (ii) the date that each stock option and stock appreciation right would otherwise expire by its original terms had Mr. Bronson not been terminated. Had a triggering event occurred on December 29, 2017, such that Mr. Bronson would become entitled to benefits under his Change of Control Agreement, Mr. Bronson would have been entitled to the payments detailed below.





As part of assuming the role of President and Chief Executive Officer, on October 1, 2012, we entered into an Executive Severance Agreement ("Severance Agreement") with Mr. Bronson. Mr. Bronson's Severance Agreement provides that if we terminate his employment (other than for cause, death or disability) or if he terminates his employment with us for good reason and contingent on Mr. Bronson signing a release agreement, Mr. Bronson will be entitled to (i) a payment amount equal to 24 months base pay, (ii) up to twelve months of continued coverage pursuant to COBRA under the Company's group health plan, (iii) stock-based incentive compensation plan payout under each stock-based incentive compensation plan, (iv) partial cash-based incentive compensation plan payout, if any, and (v) up to $15,000 for the costs and expenses of any executive outplacement firm. Had Mr. Bronson's employment been terminated by us without cause on December 29, 2017, Mr. Bronson would have become entitled to receive the benefits described below.

(1) If there was a Change of Control transaction, PRSUs to acquire 257,500 shares would have accelerated and vested with a value of $258,788. Under the terms of Mr. Bronson's Change of Control Agreement, the PRSU awards, as well as other compensation payments paid or payable to the executive that are contingent upon a change of control, would be reduced to avoid triggering excise tax under the parachute payment rules of the Code if such reduction would result in the executive receiving an after-tax amount greater than what would be received if the excise tax were paid.





(2) If Mr. Bronson was terminated as of December 29, 2017, the PRSU awards would be forfeited under the terms of Mr. Bronson’s Severance Agreement.





(3) Options to acquire 68,750 shares would have accelerated and vested with an intrinsic value of $0 as of December 29, 2017.

As part of his promotion to Chief Financial Officer, on February 17, 2015, we entered into a Change of Control Agreement with Mr. Wilson. Mr. Wilson's Change of Control Agreement provides that if we terminate his employment with us (other than for cause, death or disability), or if he terminates his employment with us for good reason within 12 months following a change of control or within three months preceding a change of control, Mr. Wilson is entitled to receive severance pay in a lump sum cash amount equal to 12 months of Mr. Wilson's annual base pay at the rate in effect immediately before the date of termination. The payment would be made within five days after execution of the release agreement. Upon such termination, and in addition to severance pay, Mr. Wilson is also entitled to receive (i) up to 12 months of continued coverage pursuant to COBRA under the Company's group health plan, (ii) partial cash-based incentive compensation plan payout, if any and (iii) stock-based incentive compensation plan payout under each stock-based incentive compensation plan. Also, upon such termination, all stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units and other similar awards granted to Mr. Wilson shall be immediately exercisable in full in accordance with the applicable provisions of the relevant award agreement and the plan; and any risk of forfeiture included in any restricted stock or other similar award shall immediately lapse. Stock options (other than those considered Incentive Stock Options) and stock appreciation rights shall also be amended to permit Mr. Wilson to exercise such stock options and stock appreciation rights for a period of time equal to the earlier of (i) the period of 180 days after the date of Mr. Wilson's termination; or (ii) the date that each stock option and stock appreciation right would otherwise expire by its original terms had Mr. Wilson not been terminated. Had Mr. Wilson's employment been terminated by us without cause, and if he had signed a release agreement, on December 29, 2017, Mr. Wilson would have become entitled to receive the payment described below.





As part of his promotion to Chief Financial Officer, on February 17, 2015, we entered into an Executive Severance Agreement with Jonathan Wilson. If we terminate Mr. Wilson's employment with us other than for cause, death or disability or Mr. Wilson terminates employment with us for good reason and contingent upon Mr. Wilson signing a release agreement, Mr. Wilson is entitled to receive severance pay in a lump sum cash amount equal to 12 months of Mr. Wilson's annual base pay at the rate in effect immediately before the date of termination.

CEO Pay Ratio





As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our employees and the annual total compensation of Brian Bronson, our Chief Executive Officer and President (our “CEO”). The pay ratio included in this information is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K.





For 2017, our last completed fiscal year:





|  |                                                                                                                  
|- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|▪ | the median of the annual total compensation of all employees of our company (other than our CEO) was $36,677; and

|  |                                                                                                                                              
|- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|▪ | the annual total compensation of our CEO, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table included elsewhere in this Amendment, was $1,268,955.




Based on this information, for 2017 the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO, to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees was 35 to 1.


To identify the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees, as well as to determine the annual total compensation of the “median employee,” the methodology and the material assumptions, adjustments, and estimates that we used were as follows:





|   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
|-- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|1. | We determined that, as of December 31, 2017, our employee population consisted of approximately 685 individuals, with 16% of these individuals located in the United States, 74% located in India, 7% located in China, 2% located in Europe (primarily in England, Poland, and Germany), and 1% located in Canada (as reported in Item 1,Business, in our Original Filing).




|   |                                                                                                                                                                       
|-- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|2. | To identify the “median employee” from our employee population, we compared the sum of base wages, commission and bonus of our employees paid during fiscal year 2017.




a. In making this determination, we annualized each element of compensation of approximately 100 full-time employees who were hired in 2017 but did not work for us for the entire fiscal year.





b. Since we do not widely distribute annual equity awards to our employees, such awards were excluded from our compensation measure to identify the "median employee." Approximately 9% of our employees received annual equity awards in 2017.





c. We did not make any cost-of-living adjustments in identifying the “median employee.”





d. For employees located outside of the United States, we converted their compensation from local currency to U.S. dollars using the daily bid rate from www.oanda.com on December 29, 2017.





|   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
|-- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|3. | Using this methodology, we determined that the “median employee” was a full-time, salaried employee located in India, with wages, commission and bonus pay for the 12-month period ending December 31, 2017 in the amount of $36,677. With respect to the annual total compensation of the “median employee,” we identified and calculated the elements of such employee’s compensation for 2017 in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K, resulting in annual total compensation of $36,677.




|   |

Narrative Disclosure of Director Compensation





During 2017, each director who was not employed by us was compensated per the chart below. Director compensation is reviewed on an annual basis.  Compensation adjustments, if determined appropriate, are typically effective April 1. Our President and Chief Executive Officer does not receive compensation for his services as Director.





In an effort intended to drive shareholder value by further aligning the Board's interests with the Company's shareholders, on September 14, 2017, our Board of Directors unanimously approved a reduction in non-employee director compensation to consist solely of equity incentive compensation awards. The Board expects to re-instate cash compensation at prior levels outlined below when it determines the Company's operating results have stabilized.





Effective April 1, 2014 through September 14, 2017Director annual retainer$40,000Chairman of the Board annual retainer$80,000Audit Committee Chairman$20,000Compensation and Development Committee Chairman$14,000Nominating and Governance Committee Chairman$11,000Strategic Oversight Committee Chairman$11,000Audit Committee membership$10,000Compensation and Development Committee membership$7,500Nominating and Governance Committee membership$5,000

In addition, non-employee directors received an equity grant with a value of approximately $105,000, or 27,487 restricted stock units in 2017. The restricted stock units will vest 25% of the total shares on September 7, 2017, December 7, 2017, March 7, 2018 and June 7, 2018, respectively. Beginning in 2018, non-employee directors will receive an annual equity grant of 60,000 stock options which vest quarterly and become fully vested on the next annual meeting date. Further, newly appointed directors receive an equity grant equal to 80,000 stock options upon appointment to the Board, with “refresher” annual equity grants to commence during the next annual cycle for the full Board. The stock options for newly appointed directors become exercisable for one-third of the total option shares on the first anniversary of the date of grant and become exercisable in monthly increments equal to 1/36th of the total option shares each month thereafter, becoming fully exercisable on the third anniversary of the date of grant. Directors are also reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in attending meetings.





Non-employee directors are expected to acquire and hold a minimum of common stock worth six times the annual retainer or 20,000 shares, whichever is the lesser value. They must purchase at least 10,000 shares in the open market. The minimum amount is expected to be reached within three to five years of becoming a director. Directors must reach the minimum stock ownership guidelines prior to selling any shares of Company stock. Of our three current non-employee directors, two have already reached this ownership goal. Directors who are our employees receive no separate compensation as directors.





On February 20, 2014, the Compensation Committee adopted a standing policy with respect to outstanding awards granted to the non-employee members of the Board under the 2007 Stock Plan. Under the standing policy, pursuant to Section 16(c)(iii) of the 2007 Stock Plan, in the event of a Transaction (as defined in the 2007 Stock Plan) that results in a change of control of the Company, all time-based vesting conditions will be accelerated immediately prior to the effective time of such a Transaction without any further action by the Compensation Committee or the Board.





Our Compensation Committee reviews non-employee director compensation from time to time to ensure the compensation program remains consistent with the Company's goals and objectives.





Assessment of Risk Related to Compensation Policies and Practices


We regularly review and assess our compensation policies and practices to determine whether they are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The assessment is conducted by management, which reviews both our equity and cash incentive compensation programs for the presence of certain elements that could encourage our employees to take unnecessary or excessive risks; the ratios and level of incentive to fixed compensation, annual to long-term compensation and cash to equity compensation; the percentage of compensation expense as compared to the business unit's revenues; and the presence of other design features that may serve to mitigate risk taking, such as the use of multiple performance measures, caps on payments and similar features. Management's assessment of our compensation policies is then reviewed by the Compensation Committee and discussed with the entire Board in connection with the risk oversight function.


We have concluded that our programs are appropriately tailored to encourage employees to grow our business, but not encourage them to do so in a way that poses unnecessary or excessive material risk to us. More specifically, our compensation programs are designed to balance the following elements: compensation that rewards different aspects of short-term and long-term performance;  incentive compensation that rewards performance based on a variety of different shared and individual objectives; awards that are paid based on results, awards paid in cash and awards paid in equity, which have a value that depends on long-term shareholder return; and compensation with fixed and variable components, so that executives have both competitive remuneration to encourage retention and opportunities to earn more by successfully executing our business strategy.


In addition, our compensation programs incorporate controls such as caps on potential payouts under incentive plans (to reduce incentives to sacrifice long-term performance for short-term goals). Overall, while risk is a necessary element in any business strategy, we have concluded that our compensation policies and practices, when coupled with our personnel performance and development programs, provide an appropriate balance to encourage superior performance while mitigating excessive risk-taking.

Equity Compensation Plan Information





Information with respect to shares of common stock of the Company that may be issued under the Company's equity compensation plans as of December 31, 2017, was included in Item 12 of the Original Filing.





Description of Equity Compensation Plans Not Adopted by Shareholders





Radisys Corporation Inducement Stock Plan for Continuous Computing Corporation ("CCPU") Employees





On July 5, 2011, the Compensation Committee adopted the Radisys Corporation Inducement Stock Plan for CCPU Employees (“CCPU Inducement Stock Plan”) for awards to be made in connection with our acquisition of CCPU. The CCPU Inducement Stock Plan was adopted without shareholder approval in reliance upon the exception provided under the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4) relating to awards granted to new employees of the Company, including grants to transferred employees in connection with a merger or other acquisition. The CCPU Inducement Stock Plan became effective as of July 8, 2011.  The CCPU Inducement Stock Plan permits the granting of stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units. The maximum number of shares of common stock with respect to which awards may be granted is 600,000 shares (subject to adjustment in accordance with the CCPU Inducement Stock Plan). In order to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635, the awards may only be granted to employees transferred from CCPU in connection with our acquisition of CCPU and in connection with the future hiring of new employees of CCPU by us. Unless sooner terminated by our Board of Directors, the CCPU Inducement Stock Plan will terminate on the tenth anniversary of its effective date of July 8, 2011. The CCPU Inducement Stock Plan provides that the Compensation Committee will determine the option price at which common stock may be purchased, but the price will not be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date the option is granted. The Compensation Committee will determine the term of each option, but no option will be exercisable more than seven years after the date of grant. The CCPU Inducement Stock Plan provides for certain terms and conditions pursuant to which restricted stock and restricted stock units may be granted under the CCPU Inducement Stock Plan. Each grant of restricted stock and restricted stock units must be evidenced by an award agreement in a form approved by the Compensation


Committee. The vesting of restricted stock or restricted stock units may be conditioned upon the completion of a specified period of employment, upon attainment of specified performance goals and/or upon such other criteria as the Compensation Committee determines.





Sixth Amended and Restated Continuous Computing Corporation 1998 Stock Incentive Plan


On July 8, 2011, in connection with the acquisition of CCPU, each outstanding, unvested option granted under the Sixth Amended and Restated 1998 Continuous Computing Corporation Stock Incentive Plan (as amended, the “CCPU Legacy Plan”) (each such option, a “CCPU Option”) was assumed by the Company and converted into an option to acquire Company common stock at the applicable exchange ratio. Although the CCPU Legacy Plan was suspended at such time and no further awards will be granted under the CCPU Legacy Plan, each outstanding CCPU Option continues to be governed by the terms and conditions of the CCPU Legacy Plan and the applicable award agreement, as modified by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated May 2, 2011, by and among the Company, CCPU, Shareholder Representative Services, LLC and Radisys Holdings, Inc. (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”). The CCPU Legacy Plan was assumed by the Company without shareholder approval in reliance upon the exception provided under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(3). As of December 31, 2017, 11,850 CCPU Options remain outstanding. The CCPU Options vest over a four year period from the original grant date and have an expiration date of 10 years from the original grant date. The CCPU Legacy Plan also provides that upon a Change in Control (as defined in the CCPU Legacy Plan), to the extent such options have not been assumed, substituted or replaced in accordance with the terms of the CCPU Legacy Plan, all unvested CCPU Options will become fully exercisable thirty (30) days before the effective date of such Change in Control, except that Contingent Assumed Options will not become exercisable until such options have been released in accordance with Section 6.11 of the Merger Agreement.

Related Party Transactions Policy





The Company has established procedures regarding approval of transactions between the Company and any employee, officer, director and other related persons, including those required to be reported under Item 404 of Regulation S-K.

Related Party Transactions





Premiere Communications Inc. has been a customer since 2007. In December 2015, Hubert de Pesquidoux, one of our directors, was appointed the Executive Chairman of Premiere Communications, which is a non-officer position, and acquired an immaterial indirect equity interest in its parent company. In 2015 through 2017, we continued ordinary course commercial dealings with Premiere Communications. We expect to continue our commercial relationship with Premiere Communications on similar terms and volumes during fiscal year 2018. The Board considered the relationship and concluded that Mr. de Pesquidoux was an independent director during his time as a member of our Board of Directors. Mr. de Pesquidoux resigned from our Board on February 24, 2018.





Mavenir Systems, Inc. and its predecessor company, Mitel Mobility, have been a customer since April 2015. In February 2017, Ronald de Lange, one of our previous directors, was named a director of Mavenir Systems, and Hubert de Pesquidoux was named Executive Chairman of Mavenir Systems, which is a non-officer position, and acquired an immaterial indirect equity interest in its parent company.  We expect to continue our commercial relationship with Mavenir Systems on similar terms and volumes during fiscal year 2018. The Board considered the relationship and concluded that Mr. de Pesquidoux and Mr. de Lange were independent directors during their time as members of our Board of Directors. Mr. de Lange resigned from our Board on February 23, 2018, and Mr. de Pesquidoux resigned on February 24, 2018.

Our Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that each of Stephen L. Domenik, Michael G. Hluchyj and M. Niel Ransom are "independent directors" as defined by the SEC rules and within the meaning of the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) and, therefore, a majority of our Board of Directors is currently independent as so defined.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm





The Audit Committee pre-approved all of the services described above that were provided during 2016 and 2017 in accordance with the pre-approval requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Accordingly, there were no services for which the de minimus exception, as defined in Section 202 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, was applicable. The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of the services covered by these fees is compatible with maintaining the principal auditor's independence. The Audit Committee has adopted a policy for the pre-approval of services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm. Under the policy, all audit and non-audit services to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm must be presented to the Audit Committee in writing prior to the commencement of such services. The proposal must include a description and purpose of the services, estimated fees and other terms of the engagement. The Audit Committee may delegate to the Chairman of the Audit Committee the authority to grant pre-approvals.  Any pre-approvals made by the Chairman pursuant to this delegation shall be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting following such pre-approvals.
