EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Form 8-K/A is being filed as an amendment (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by MicroStrategy Incorporated (the “Company”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 27, 2015 (the “Original Filing”). The sole purpose of this Amendment No. 1 is to disclose, as required by SEC regulations, the terms of the grant of a stock option to Phong Le in connection with his election as Senior Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer of the Company, as contemplated by the Original Filing.
| Item 5.02. | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. |
As disclosed in the Original Filing, in connection with Mr. Le’s election as Senior Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer of the Company, management agreed to recommend to the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) that it grant Mr. Le, following his start date with the Company, an option to purchase 40,000 shares of the Company’s class A common stock (the “Common Stock”) under the Company’s 2013 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”).
Mr. Le started with the Company on August 24, 2015. On September 8, 2015 (the “Grant Date”), the Compensation Committee granted Mr. Le an option to purchase 40,000 shares of Common Stock under the Plan. This option is based on the form option agreement previously disclosed by the Company (the “Option Agreement”). The option (i) is not intended to qualify as an incentive stock option, (ii) has an exercise price per share equal to $201.25, which was the closing sale price of the Company’s Common Stock as quoted on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on the Grant Date, (iii) expires on the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date, (iv) vests as to 10,000 shares on September 8, 2016, and as to an additional 10,000 shares on each anniversary thereafter until the option is vested in full, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of the Plan or the Option Agreement, (v) provides for automatic vesting in full upon a change in control event (as defined in the Option Agreement), and (vi) is otherwise subject to such other terms and conditions as are set forth in the Option Agreement.
