Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 8, 2007, the Board of Directors of NaviSite, Inc. (the Company) approved,
subject to stockholder approval, an amendment and restatement (the ESPP Amendment) of the
Companys 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended (the ESPP). The ESPP Amendment was
approved by the Board of Directors to (i) increase the number of shares reserved for issuance under
the ESPP from 16,666 shares, as adjusted, to 516,666 shares (subject to adjustment for certain
changes in the Companys capitalization) and (ii) decrease the number of offering periods per year
under the ESPP from four to two. On December 12, 2007, at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the
stockholders of the Company voted to approve the ESPP Amendment.
Summary of the ESPP
The ESPP was adopted by the Board of Directors and approved by the stockholders in October
1999. A total of 6,666 shares of the Companys common stock, as adjusted, were initially reserved
for issuance thereunder. An amendment to increase the number of shares reserved for issuance under
the ESPP to 16,666 shares, as adjusted, was adopted by the Board of Directors on October 1, 2000
and approved by the stockholders on December 20, 2000. The ESPP Amendment increased the number of
shares of common stock available for issuance under the ESPP to 516,666 shares.
The purpose of the ESPP is to provide employees of the Company, and of any majority-owned
subsidiaries designated by the Board of Directors, who participate in the ESPP with an opportunity
to purchase the Companys common stock through payroll deductions. Any person who is employed by
the Company (or by any subsidiary designated by the Board of Directors) (a) for at least 20 hours
per week and (b) on the first day of a Plan Period (as defined below) is eligible to participate in
the ESPP. Participation in the ESPP is voluntary and dependent on each eligible employees
election to participate and his or her determination as to the level of payroll deductions.
The ESPP is currently being administered by the Board of Directors, although the Board
may appoint a committee to perform that function. All questions of interpretation or application of
the ESPP are determined in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors or its committee, and its
decisions are final and binding upon all participants. Members of the Board of Directors who are
eligible employees are permitted to participate in the ESPP, but may not vote on any matter
affecting the administration of the ESPP or the grant of any option pursuant to the ESPP. No member
of the Board of Directors who is eligible to participate in the ESPP may be a member of the
committee appointed to administer the ESPP. No charges for administrative or other costs may be
made against the payroll deductions of a participant in the ESPP. Members of the Board of Directors
receive no additional compensation for their services in connection with the administration of the
ESPP.
The ESPP was originally implemented by consecutive three-month offering periods. The
initial offering period began on October 22, 1999 and ended on February 29, 2000. Each subsequent
offering period commenced on the date immediately following the end of the preceding offering
period and ended on the last day of the third full month thereafter. Each such period is referred
to as a Plan Period. The ESPP Amendment changed each Plan Period from three to six months so that
there are two Plan Periods per year. The first new Plan Period will begin on January 1, 2008 and
end on June 30, 2008. Each subsequent offering period will commence on the date immediately
following the end of the preceding offering period and will end on the last day of the sixth full
month thereafter. The Board of Directors has the power to alter the duration of a Plan Period
without stockholder approval if such change is announced prior to the scheduled beginning of the
first offering period to be affected.
The purchase price per share at which shares are purchased under the ESPP is the lower of
85% of the fair market value of a share of the Companys common stock on (a) the first day of
business of a Plan Period or (b) the last business day of the Plan Period. The fair market value of
the Companys common stock on a given date is equal to its closing price on the Nasdaq Capital
Market on such date.
ESPP shares are purchased with funds that are accumulated through payroll deductions
during the offering period. The deductions may not exceed 10% of a participants eligible
compensation. A participant may increase, decrease or discontinue payroll deductions once during a
Plan Period. At the beginning of each Plan Period, each participating employee is granted an option
to purchase shares of common stock. The maximum number of shares placed under option to a
participant in an offering period is determined by multiplying $2,083 by the number of full months
in the Plan Period and dividing the result by the closing price of the Companys common stock on
the first day of such Plan Period. A participant may terminate his or her participation in the
ESPP at any time prior to the end of a Plan Period.
The Board of Directors is required to make appropriate adjustments in connection with the ESPP
to reflect stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, combination of
shares, reclassification of shares, spin-offs and other similar changes in capitalization. The ESPP
also contains provisions addressing the consequences of any merger or consolidation of the Company,
or liquidation or dissolution of the Company.
The Board of Directors may at any time amend or terminate the ESPP. An offering period may be
terminated by the Board of Directors on any purchase date if it determines that the termination of
the offering period or the ESPP is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. No
amendment may be made to the ESPP without prior approval of the stockholders of the Company where
such approval is necessary to comply with Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the Code) and in no event may any amendment be made which would cause the ESPP to fail
to comply with Section 423 of the Code.
The foregoing description is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the ESPP filed
as an exhibit hereto, which exhibit is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On December 15, 2007, the Company issued a dividend of an aggregate of 62,500 shares of the
Companys Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the Preferred Stock)
to its holders of Preferred Stock. The shares issued were not registered under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act). The Company relied on the exemption from registration
provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as a sale by the Company not involving a public
offering. No underwriters were involved with the issuance of the Preferred Stock.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain
Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
