Cimpress N.V. (NASDAQ:CMPR) Files An 8-K Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

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

At the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of Cimpress N.V. on
November 15, 2016, our shareholders approved the amendment to our
2016 Performance Equity Plan, or 2016 Plan, described below. Our
Supervisory Board and Management Board administer the 2016 Plan,
which allows us to grant performance share units, or PSUs, to our
employees, officers, directors (including members of the Management
Board and Supervisory Board), consultants, and advisors. Subject to
adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, and other
similar events, we may make awards under the 2016 Plan for up to
8,000,000 of our ordinary shares. Under each PSU award granted
under the 2016 Plan, one unit represents a right to receive between
0 and 2.5 ordinary shares of Cimpress N.V. upon the satisfaction of
both service-based vesting over time and performance conditions
relating to the compound annual growth rate, or CAGR, of the
three-year moving average of our share price, or 3YMA, over a 6- to
10-year period. Under the 2016 Plan, the minimum performance
threshold that triggers the issuance of ordinary shares to PSU
awards for employees other than Robert Keane is an 11% 3YMA CAGR in
years six through nine of each award and a 7% 3YMA CAGR in year ten
of the award. However, PSU awards granted to Robert Keane have a
higher performance threshold: The performance condition for Mr.
Keane’s PSU awards is the achievement of an 11% 3YMA CAGR in all
years six through ten; unlike PSUs granted to other participants in
the 2016 Plan, Mr. Keane’s minimum performance threshold is not
reduced in year ten.
The amendment to the 2016 Plan approved by our shareholders
provides that all PSU awards granted to members of our Supervisory
Board will have a minimum performance threshold of an 11% 3YMA CAGR
in all years six through ten of each award, like PSUs granted to
Mr. Keane, instead of the 7% 3YMA CAGR threshold in year ten that
applies to other participants’ PSUs.
The foregoing is not a complete description of the 2016 Plan as
amended and is qualified by reference to the full text and terms of
the plan, which is filed as an exhibit to this report and
incorporated herein by reference.
