Item 5. Other Information
On March 22, 2020, the Board of Directors adopted the 2021 Fiscal Year Compensation Program for Non-Employee Directors (the “2021 Plan”), which provides for the payment of cash and equity compensation to non-employee members of our Board of Directors in connection with their service to Progress. Except as described below, the 2021 Plan is identical to the compensation plan applicable to directors in 2020.
Under the 2021 Plan, our non-employee directors will be paid an annual retainer of $275,000. This annual retainer will be paid $50,000 in cash and $225,000 in equity (with the equity paid in the form of deferred stock units which convert to shares of common stock only upon a change in control of the Company or the cessation of service on the Board of Directors). The amount of the equity retainer for 2021 has been increased by $25,000 over the plan applicable to directors in 2020. The non-executive Chairman of the Board will be paid an additional cash retainer of $75,000, which is an increase of $25,000 over the retainer paid to the Chairman of the Board in 2020.
With respect to service on the committees of our Board of Directors, the following fees will be paid:
• Audit Committee - $25,000 for the Chairman and $20,000 for the other members (unchanged);
• Compensation Committee - $25,000 for the Chairman and $15,000 for the other members (unchanged);
• Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee - $12,500 for the Chairman and $10,000 for the other members (unchanged); and
• Mergers and Acquisitions/Strategy Committee - $25,000 for the Chairman and $15,000 for the other members (unchanged).
