Item 8.01. Other Events
Note 9: Stock Incentive Plans and Share-Based Compensation, to Quantum Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, indicated that approximately 10.3 million shares of restricted stock (or restricted stock units) were granted by Quantum during the fiscal year that ended March 31, 2015. As additional information, this Current Report on Form 8-K is filed to report that, of these approximately 10.3 million shares, approximately 2.4 million were subject to performance-vesting conditions. The remainder, consisting of approximately 7.9 million shares, were subject only to continued employment or service conditions. Of the approximately 2.4 million shares that were subject to performance-vesting conditions, approximately 30.6% of the shares (equaling approximately 0.7 million shares) were earned based on actual performance during the performance period (which consisted of fiscal year 2015) as compared to the pre-established performance goals for the performance period. The remaining approximately 1.7 million shares that were not earned during the performance period were forfeited back to Quantum and returned to Quantum’s 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan.
