Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K Current Report was filed by Genpact Limited on August 13, 2010. The filing discloses the execution of an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with Pramod Bhasin, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing does not report specific revenue, profit, cash flow, margin, debt, or liquidity figures for the Company. The document focuses exclusively on executive compensation terms and performance targets rather than historical financial results.
Material Changes
The primary material change is the amendment of Mr. Bhasin's employment agreement to include a new equity grant and revised compensation conditions:
- Equity Grant: A grant of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) covering a target of 500,000 common shares.
- Compliance: Adjustments to special pension benefit provisions to comply with Section 457A of the Internal Revenue Code.
- Bonus Conditions: Pro rata bonus payments upon certain terminations are now conditioned on the achievement of specific performance goals.
Guidance, Outlook, and Management Commentary
The filing outlines specific financial performance conditions required for the vesting of the 500,000 target RSUs granted to the CEO. Vesting occurs in three equal installments on December 31, 2010, 2011, and 2012, subject to continued employment and the achievement of revenue and EBITDA growth targets.
Performance Targets for 2010 (July 1, 2010 – Dec 31, 2010)
| Performance Level | Revenue Growth | EBITDA Growth |
|---|---|---|
| Outstanding | 20% | 20% |
| Target | 17% | 14% |
| Threshold | 15% | 10% |
Performance Targets for 2011 and 2012
| Performance Level | Revenue Growth (Over Prior Year) | EBITDA Growth (Over Prior Year) |
|---|---|---|
| Outstanding | 20% | 20% |
| Target | 15% | 15% |
| Threshold | 10% | 10% |
Additional Provisions:
- Multiplier: The actual number of shares vesting ranges from 0% to 150% of the target based on performance.
- Negative Discretion: The Compensation Committee may reduce vesting by up to 10% based on qualitative goals including succession planning, inorganic growth strategy, Smart Enterprise Processes (SEP) execution, and talent retention.
- Acceleration: Unvested RSUs vest in full upon a change of control, death, or disability. Termination for "Good Reason" or without "Cause" allows continued vesting if performance goals are met.
