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

 

On April 23, 2009, the stockholders of Silicon Laboratories Inc. (the “Company”) approved the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) and the 2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”).  A summary of the terms of the Incentive Plan and the Purchase Plan is included in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed on March 13, 2009, which summary is qualified entirely by reference to the terms of the actual Incentive Plan and Purchase Plan, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

 

The purposes of the Incentive Plan are to attract and retain the best available personnel, to provide additional incentives to our employees, non-employee directors and consultants, and to promote the success of our business by linking the personal interests of the employees, non-employee directors and consultants to those of our stockholders by providing such individuals with an incentive for outstanding performance to generate superior returns to our stockholders.  The Purchase Plan is intended to promote the interests of the Company by providing eligible employees with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the company through participation in an employee stock purchase plan.

 

Additionally, the Company has approved forms of agreements for use in connection with the issuance of restricted stock units and stock options under the Incentive Plan, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.3 and 10.4, respectively, and the terms thereof are incorporated herein by reference.  The Board and the Compensation Committee have discretion to alter the terms of such form agreements, subject to the limitations set forth in the Incentive Plan.
