PROXY STATEMENT


GENERAL INFORMATION

        This Proxy Statement is being furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors (the "Board") of OSI Systems, Inc. (the "Company") for use at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders ("Annual Meeting"), to be held at 10:00 a.m., local time on December 11, 2017, at our offices at 12525 Chadron Avenue, Hawthorne, California 90250, and at any adjournment thereof.

        We are making our proxy materials, which include the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders, Proxy Statement, Proxy Card and our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K ("Proxy Materials"), available to our stockholders via the Internet, although registered stockholders and those stockholders who have previously requested to receive printed copies instead will receive their Proxy Materials in the mail. We anticipate that the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials will be mailed on or about October 27, 2017.

        Stockholders of record as of the close of business on October 17, 2017 will receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials contains instructions about how to access the Proxy Materials and vote via the Internet without attending the Annual Meeting. If you receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials but would instead prefer to receive a printed copy of the Proxy Materials rather than downloading them from the Internet, you may do so by following the instructions for requesting such materials included in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials.

        If you are a stockholder that receives a printed copy of the Proxy Materials by mail, you may view the Proxy Materials on the Internet at http://www.proxyvote.com. However, in order to direct your vote without attending the Annual Meeting you must complete and mail the Proxy Card or voting instruction card enclosed (postage pre-paid return envelope also enclosed) or, if indicated on the Proxy Card that you receive, by telephone or Internet voting. Please refer to the Proxy Card that you receive for instructions.

        When a proxy is properly submitted, the shares it represents will be voted in accordance with any directions noted thereon. Any stockholder giving a proxy has the power to revoke it at any time before it is voted by written notice to the Secretary of the Company by issuance of a subsequent proxy as more fully described on the Proxy Card. In addition, a stockholder attending the Annual Meeting may revoke his or her proxy and vote in person if he or she desires to do so, but attendance at the Annual Meeting will not of itself revoke the proxy.

        At the close of business on October 17, 2017, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting, we had issued and outstanding 18,967,963 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value ("Common Stock"). A majority of the shares issued and outstanding on the record date, present in person at the Annual Meeting or represented at the Annual Meeting by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Shares that are voted with respect to any proposal are treated as being present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of establishing a quorum. Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder of record thereof to one vote on any matter coming before the Annual Meeting.

        A Proxy Card, when properly submitted via the Internet, telephone or mail, also confers discretionary authority with respect to amendments or variations to the matters identified in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and with respect to other matters which may be properly brought before the

1


Table of Contents

Annual Meeting. At the time of printing this Proxy Statement, our management was not aware of any other matters to be presented for action at the Annual Meeting. If, however, other matters which are not now known to management should properly come before the Annual Meeting, the proxies hereby solicited will be exercised on such matters in accordance with the best judgment of the proxy holders.

        Abstentions and broker non-votes represented by submitted proxies will be included in the calculation of the number of the shares present at the Annual Meeting for the purposes of determining a quorum. "Broker non-votes" means shares held of record by a broker that are not voted because the broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares and either lacks or declines to exercise the authority to vote the shares in its discretion.

        Proposal One.    In accordance with our Bylaws, directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast, and the nominees who receive the most votes will be elected. Proposal One is considered a "non routine" matter and, accordingly, brokerage firms and nominees do not have the authority to vote their clients' unvoted shares on Proposal One or to vote their clients' shares if the clients have not furnished voting instructions within a specified period of time prior to the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on Proposal One. Votes marked "withhold" will not affect the outcome of the election of directors.

        Proposal Two.    In accordance with our Bylaws, to be approved, the ratification of Moss Adams LLP as our independent registered accounting firm must receive the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares of Common Stock present in person or by proxy and cast at the Annual Meeting. Proposal Two is considered a "routine" matter and, accordingly, brokerage firms and nominees have the authority to vote their clients' unvoted shares on Proposal Two as well as to vote their clients' shares if the clients have not furnished voting instructions within a specified period of time prior to the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on Proposal Two.

        Proposal Three.    In accordance with our Bylaws, to be approved, the proposal regarding our Amended and Restated 2012 Incentive Award Plan must receive the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares of Common Stock present in person or by proxy and cast at the Annual Meeting. Proposal Three is considered a "non-routine" matter and, accordingly, brokerage firms and nominees do not have the authority to vote their clients' unvoted shares on Proposal Three or to vote their clients' shares if the clients have not furnished voting instructions within a specified period of time prior to the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on Proposal Three.

        Proposal Four.    In accordance with our Bylaws, to be approved, the proposal regarding our executive compensation for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 must receive the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares of Common Stock present in person or by proxy and cast at the Annual Meeting. Proposal Four is considered a "non-routine" matter and, accordingly, brokerage firms and nominees do not have the authority to vote their clients' unvoted shares on Proposal Four or to vote their clients' shares if the clients have not furnished voting instructions within a specified period of time prior to the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on Proposal Four. The vote on Proposal Four is advisory and therefore not binding on the Company, the Compensation and Benefits Committee (the "Compensation Committee") or the Board. Although non-binding, the Board values the opinions that our stockholders express in their votes, and the votes will provide information to the Compensation Committee regarding investor sentiment about our executive compensation philosophy, policies and practices, which the Compensation Committee will be able to consider when determining executive compensation in the future.

        Proposal Five.    The frequency of the advisory vote on executive compensation receiving the greatest number of votes will be considered the frequency recommended by our stockholders. Proposal Five is

2


Table of Contents

considered a "non-routine" matter and, accordingly, brokerage firms and nominees do not have the authority to vote their clients' unvoted shares on Proposal Five or to vote their clients' shares if the clients have not furnished voting instructions within a specified period of time prior to the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on Proposal Five. The vote on Proposal Five is advisory and therefore not binding on the Company, the Compensation Committee or the Board. Although non-binding, the Board values the opinions that our stockholders express in their votes and will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering how frequently we should conduct a vote on our executive compensation going forward. However, because this vote is advisory and not binding on the Company or the Board, the Board may decide that it is in our and our stockholders' best interests to hold a vote on our executive compensation more or less frequently than the option that receives the most votes from the stockholders.

        All stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will receive either the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or a printed copy of the Proxy Materials. We will pay the expenses of soliciting proxies for the Annual Meeting, including the cost of preparing, assembling, posting on the Internet and mailing the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials and the Proxy Materials. Proxies may be solicited personally, by mail, by e-mail, over the Internet, or by telephone, by directors, officers and regular employees of the Company who will not be additionally compensated therefore.

        The matters to be considered and acted upon at the Annual Meeting are more fully discussed below.

Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on December 11, 2017:    The Proxy Notice, this Proxy Statement and Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 are available at http://www.proxyvote.com.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
(Proposal No. 1 of the Proxy Card)

Nominees

        Our Board consists of seven members. At each annual meeting of stockholders, directors are elected for a term of one year to succeed those directors whose terms expire on the annual meeting date.

        The seven candidates nominated for election as directors at the Annual Meeting are Deepak Chopra, Ajay Mehra, Steven C. Good, Meyer Luskin, William F. Ballhaus, James B. Hawkins and Gerald Chizever. All of our director nominees are currently directors of the Company and were previously elected to serve on the Board by our stockholders.

        The enclosed Proxy will be voted in favor of these individuals unless other instructions are given. If elected, the nominees will serve as directors until our next annual meeting of stockholders, and until their successors are elected and qualified. If any nominee declines to serve or becomes unavailable for any reason, or if a vacancy occurs before the election (although we know of no reason to anticipate that this will occur), the proxies may be voted for such substitute nominees as the Board may designate.

        If a quorum is present and voting, the seven nominees for directors receiving the highest number of votes will be elected as directors. Abstentions and shares held by brokers that are present, but not voted because the brokers were prohibited from exercising discretionary authority (broker non-votes) will be counted as present only for purposes of determining if a quorum is present.

        The current directors and nominees for election as directors at this meeting are as follows:

Relationships Among Directors or Executive Officers

        There are no arrangements or understandings known to us between any of the directors or nominees for director and any other person pursuant to which any such person was or is to be elected a director.

        Ajay Mehra is the first cousin of Deepak Chopra. Other than this relationship, there are no family relationships among our directors or Named Executive Officers (as defined in "Compensation of Executive Officers and Directors – Summary Compensation Table").

Board Role in Risk Oversight

        Our Board is responsible for our risk oversight. Risks we face include competitive, economic, operational, financial, accounting, liquidity, tax, regulatory, foreign country, safety, employment, political, and other risks. Risks are reported to our Board through our executive officers, who are responsible for the identification, assessment and management of our risks. Our Board regularly discusses the risks reported by our executive officers and reviews with management strategies and actions to mitigate the risks and the status and effectiveness of such strategies and actions.

        To optimize its risk oversight capabilities and efficiently oversee our risks, the Board delegates to its committees oversight responsibility for particular areas of risk. For example, the Audit Committee

6


Table of Contents

oversees management of major financial risks, including risks related to accounting, auditing, financial reporting, and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. The Risk Management Committee, which was formed in August 2017, oversees management of key enterprise risks, including strategic, operational, legal, regulatory, and compliance. The Nominating and Governance Committee oversees risks related to the effectiveness of the Board. The Compensation Committee oversees risks related to our executive compensation policies and practices. The Technology Committee oversees risks related to technology matters. During fiscal 2017, the Board also had an Executive Committee that oversaw risks related to strategic transactions.

Board Leadership Structure and Lead Independent Director

        Our Chairman of the Board is our Chief Executive Officer. We believe that currently combining the positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chairman serves as an effective link between management's role of identifying, assessing and managing risks and the Board's role of risk oversight. Mr. Chopra possesses in-depth knowledge of the issues, opportunities and challenges we face and is thus well positioned to develop agendas and highlight issues that ensure that the Board's time and attention are focused on the most critical matters. In addition, our Board has determined that this leadership structure is optimal because it believes that having one leader serving as both the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer provides decisive, consistent and effective leadership, as well as clear accountability. Having one person serve as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer also enhances our ability to communicate our message and strategy clearly and consistently to our stockholders, employees, and other companies with which we do business. Although we believe that the combination of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer roles is appropriate under current circumstances, we will continue to review this issue periodically to determine whether, based on the relevant facts and circumstances, separation of these offices would serve our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders.

        The combined Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer position is balanced by the number of independent directors serving on our Board, our independent committees and our lead independent director. Mr. Good is currently our lead independent director and brings to this role considerable skills and experience as described above in "Election of Directors." The role of lead independent director is designed to further promote the independence of our Board and appropriate oversight of management and to facilitate free and open discussion and communication among our independent directors.

Board Meetings, Independence and Committees of the Board

        There were eight meetings of the Board and the Board acted pursuant to unanimous written consent on four additional occasions during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017. During fiscal 2017, the Board had a standing Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Nominating and Governance Committee, Executive Committee and Technology Committee. In August 2017, the Board dissolved the Executive Committee and formed a Risk Management Committee. The members of each committee are appointed by the majority vote of the Board. All persons serving as a director during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 attended more than 75% of the aggregate number of meetings held by the Board and all committees on which such director served.

        The Board has determined that each of the nominees for director, except Mr. Chopra and Mr. Mehra, is independent within the meaning of the director independence standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market (the "Listing Standards"), as currently in effect. Furthermore, the Board has determined that each of the members of each of the committees of the Board is independent within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the Listing Standards, as applicable and currently in effect.

Table of Contents

        We have a separately designated, standing Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Audit Committee makes recommendations for selection of our independent public accountants, reviews with the independent public accountants the plans and results of the audit engagement, approves professional services provided by the independent public accountants, reviews the independence of the independent public accountants, considers the range of audit and any non-audit fees, and reviews our financial statements and the adequacy of our internal accounting controls and financial management practices. All members of the Audit Committee are independent, as independence for audit committee members is defined in Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Exchange Act and the Listing Standards applicable to our Company.

        The Audit Committee currently consists of four independent directors – Messrs. Good, Luskin and Hawkins and Dr. Ballhaus.

RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF
INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
(Proposal No. 2 of the Proxy Card)

        The Audit Committee has selected Moss Adams LLP ("Moss Adams") as our independent registered public accountants for the year ending June 30, 2018 and has further directed that management submit the selection of independent registered public accountants for ratification by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting. Moss Adams has no financial interest in the Company, and neither it nor any member or employee of the firm has had any connection with the Company in the capacity of promoter, underwriter, voting trustee, director, officer or employee.

        In the event that our stockholders fail to ratify the selection of Moss Adams, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain the firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee and the Board in their discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent accounting firm at any time during the year if they determine that such a change would be in our and our stockholders' best interests.

        Representatives of Moss Adams are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, and they will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

        The Board recommends a vote "FOR" the ratification of Moss Adams as our independent registered public accountants for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018.

APPROVAL OF AMENDED AND RESTATED
OSI SYSTEMS, INC. 2012 INCENTIVE AWARD PLAN
(Proposal No. 3 of the Proxy Card)

        We are interested in maintaining strong corporate governance practices, including with respect to equity awards granted to our executive officers. For this reason, our Board adopted on October 13, 2017 (the "Effective Date"), subject to stockholder approval, the Amended and Restated OSI Systems, Inc. 2012 Incentive Award Plan (the "Amended Plan"). Awards under the Amended Plan provide employees, consultants and directors an opportunity to acquire or increase their ownership stake in our Company, and our Board believes this aligns their interests with those of our stockholders, creating strong incentives to achieve goals that result in consistent stockholder returns. We believe that adopting the Amended Plan is in our best interest in light of our growth and the continuing need to provide equity-based incentives to attract and retain the most qualified personnel. A copy of the Amended Plan is included as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement.

        The Amended Plan amends and restates in its entirety our 2012 Incentive Award Plan (the "Existing Plan"). In particular, the Amended Plan makes the following material changes to the Existing Plan:

        In determining the number of shares of Common Stock to request for approval under the Amended Plan, our management team worked with the Compensation Committee to evaluate a number of factors, including our recent share usage, anticipated share usage, and criteria expected to be utilized by institutional proxy advisory firms in evaluating our proposal for the Amended Plan.

        If the Amended Plan is approved, we intend to utilize the shares of Common Stock authorized under the Amended Plan to continue our practice of incentivizing our employees, consultants and directors through the use of equity incentive grants. We anticipate that the shares of Common Stock requested in connection with the approval of the Amended Plan, combined with the shares of Common Stock currently available for future awards under the Existing Plan, will last for approximately three to four years, based on our historic grant rates and the approximate current stock price. However, these shares could last for a shorter period of time if actual practice does not match historic rates and/or our stock price changes materially.

        We believe that grants of equity incentive awards are necessary to enable us to continue to attract and retain top talent. We also recognize that equity compensation awards dilute shareholder equity. Accordingly, we have balanced these concerns by carefully managing our equity incentive compensation usage in a manner intended to be competitive and consistent with market practice while also

12


Table of Contents

demonstrating a commitment to sound equity compensation practices. If the Amended Plan is not approved, we believe our recruitment and retention capabilities will be adversely affected.

        As of June 30, 2017, awards covering 1,392,358 shares of our Common Stock were outstanding under the Existing Plan, and 1,312,813 shares remained available for future issuance or the grant of awards under the Existing Plan. The weighted average price of options outstanding as of June 30, 2017 was $30.00 and the weighted average remaining term was 3.3 years.

        As of October 17, 2017, outstanding grants under our existing equity compensation plans, including shares remaining available for grant thereunder, are provided in the table below:

Stock Options Outstanding

  706,312

Stock Awards Outstanding*

  534,575

Common Stock Outstanding

  18,967,963

Weighted Average Exercise Price of Stock Options Outstanding

  $31.34

Weighted-Average Remaining Duration (Years) of Stock Options Outstanding

  3.3 years

Total Shares Available for Grant under Existing Plan*

  724,772

*
Figures have decreased since June 30, 2017 primarily due to the vesting of certain awards as well as certain grants of fully vested shares pursuant to our Six-Year Performance Program.

        In addition to the above, we are asking stockholders to approve the Amended Plan to satisfy the stockholder approval requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code ("Section 162(m)"), and to ensure we have the ability to grant "incentive stock options" under the Amended Plan.

        In general, Section 162(m) places a limit on the deductibility for federal income tax purposes of the compensation paid to our Chief Executive Officer and our next three most highly compensated executive officers (other than our Chief Financial Officer). Under Section 162(m), compensation paid to such persons in excess of $1 million in a taxable year generally is not deductible. However, compensation that qualifies as "performance-based" under Section 162(m) does not count against the $1 million deduction limitation. One of the requirements of "performance-based" compensation for purposes of Section 162(m) is that the material terms of the plan under which compensation may be paid be disclosed to and approved by our stockholders. For purposes of Section 162(m), the material terms include (a) the employees eligible to receive compensation, (b) a description of the business criteria on which the performance goals may be based and (c) the maximum amount of compensation that can be paid to an employee under the performance goals. Each of these aspects of the Amended Plan is discussed below, and stockholder approval of this Proposal 3 will be deemed to constitute approval of the material terms of the Amended Plan for purposes of the stockholder approval requirements of Section 162(m).

        Stockholder approval of the material terms of the performance goals of the Amended Plan is only one of several requirements under Section 162(m) that must be satisfied for amounts realized under the Amended Plan to qualify for the "performance-based" compensation exemption under Section 162(m), and submission of the Amended Plan for stockholder approval of the material terms of its performance goals should not be viewed as a guarantee that we will be able to deduct all compensation under the Amended Plan. Nothing in this proposal precludes us or the Compensation Committee from making any payment or granting awards that are not intended to qualify (or otherwise do not qualify) for tax deductibility under Section 162(m).

        If stockholders do not approve the proposal in this Proposal 3, the Existing Plan (not as amended and restated) will, however, remain in effect with respect to eligible individuals, including covered employees, and we may continue to grant awards under the Existing Plan (and not the Amended Plan) to such

13


Table of Contents

individuals, subject to the terms and conditions of the Existing Plan. In addition, all previously granted awards will continue to be subject to the terms of the Existing Plan.

        Eligibility and Administration.    Our employees, consultants and directors are eligible to receive awards under the Amended Plan. As of September 30, 2017, there were approximately 5,981 employees, including five Named Executive Officers, and five non-employee directors eligible to receive awards under the Amended Plan. The Amended Plan is administered by the Board with respect to awards to non-employee directors and by the Compensation Committee with respect to other participants, each of which may delegate its duties and responsibilities to committees of our directors and/or officers (all such bodies and delegates referred to collectively as the plan administrator), subject to certain limitations that may be imposed under Section 162(m), Section 16 of the Exchange Act and/or stock exchange rules, as applicable. The plan administrator has the authority to make all determinations and interpretations under, prescribe all forms for use with, and adopt rules for the administration of, the Amended Plan, subject to its express terms and conditions. The plan administrator also sets the terms and conditions of all awards under the Amended Plan, including any vesting and vesting acceleration conditions.

        Limitation on Awards and Shares Available.    The aggregate number of shares of our Common Stock that are available for issuance under awards granted pursuant to the Existing Plan equals the sum of (i) 3,850,000 shares minus (ii) any shares of our Common Stock delivered in settlement of awards granted pursuant to our 2006 Equity Participation Plan (the "2006 Plan") during the period beginning on September 25, 2012 and ending immediately prior to December 12, 2012, plus (iii) any shares of our Common Stock subject to awards outstanding under the 2006 Plan that terminate, expire or lapse for any reason on or after December 12, 2012 (up to a maximum of 2,220,000 shares). If this Proposal 3 is approved by our stockholders, then the aggregate number of shares of our Common Stock that will be available for issuance under awards granted pursuant to the Amended Plan will equal the sum of (i) 5,450,000 shares, plus (ii) any shares of our Common Stock subject to awards outstanding under the 2006 Plan that terminate, expire or lapse for any reason on or after stockholder approval of the Amended Plan. Any shares delivered in settlement of awards of options, stock appreciation rights ("SARs") or similar awards which do not deliver the full share value at grant of the underlying shares will be counted against this limit as one share for every one share granted. Any shares that are delivered in settlement of restricted stock, restricted stock units or similar awards that convey the full value of the shares subject to the award (other than options, SARs or similar awards for which the recipient must pay the grant-date intrinsic value) will be counted against this limit as 1.87 shares for every one share granted. Shares subject to awards under the Amended Plan that are forfeited, expire or are settled for cash may be used again for new grants under the Amended Plan, and will be added back to the Amended Plan's share limit in the same number of shares as were debited from the share limit in respect of the grant of such awards. (1) Shares subject to a SAR or stock option that are not issued in connection with the stock settlement of the SAR or stock option on its exercise, (2) shares purchased on the open market with the cash proceeds from the exercise of options, and (3) shares tendered or withheld to satisfy exercise price or tax withholding obligations associated with an award, in any case, may not be used again for new grants of awards. Shares granted under the Amended Plan may be treasury shares, authorized but unissued shares, or shares purchased in the open market.

        Subject to limited exception, awards granted under the Amended Plan upon the assumption of, or in substitution for, awards authorized or outstanding under a qualifying equity plan maintained by an entity with which we enter into a merger or similar corporate transaction will not reduce the shares available for grant under the Amended Plan. The maximum number of shares of our Common Stock that may be subject to one or more awards granted to any one participant pursuant to the Amended Plan during any calendar year will be 250,000 and the maximum amount that may be paid in cash pursuant to the Amended Plan to any one participant during any calendar year period will be $15,000,000. In addition, the sum of the

14


Table of Contents

grant date fair value of equity-based awards and the amount of any cash-based awards that may be granted to any non-employee director pursuant to the Amended Plan during any calendar year will not exceed $750,000.

        Awards.    The Amended Plan provides for the grant of stock options, including incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, dividend equivalents, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), other incentive awards and SARs and cash awards. Certain awards under the Amended Plan may constitute or provide for a deferral of compensation, subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, which may impose additional requirements on the terms and conditions of such awards. All awards under the Amended Plan are or will be set forth in award agreements, which detail the terms and conditions of the awards, including any applicable vesting and payment terms and post-termination exercise limitations. Awards other than cash awards are generally settled in shares of our Common Stock, but the plan administrator may provide for cash settlement of any award. A brief description of each award type follows.

15


Table of Contents

        Performance Awards.    Performance awards include any of the foregoing awards that are granted subject to vesting and/or payment based on the attainment of specified performance goals. The plan administrator will determine whether performance awards are intended to qualify as "performance-based" compensation ("QPBC") within the meaning of Section 162(m), in which case the applicable performance criteria will be selected from the list below in accordance with the requirements of Section 162(m).

        In order to constitute QPBC under Section 162(m), in addition to certain other requirements, the relevant amounts must be payable only upon the attainment of pre-established, objective performance goals set by the Compensation Committee and linked to stockholder-approved performance criteria. For purposes of the Amended Plan, one or more of the following performance criteria will be used in setting performance goals applicable to QPBC, and may be used in setting performance goals applicable to other performance awards: (i) net earnings (either before or after one or more of the following: (a) interest, (b) taxes, (c) depreciation, (d) amortization and (e) non-cash equity-based compensation); (ii) gross or net sales or revenue; (iii) net income (either before or after taxes); (iv) adjusted net income; (v) operating earnings or profit; (vi) cash flow (including, but not limited to, operating cash flow and free cash flow); (vii) return on assets; (viii) return on capital; (ix) return on stockholders' equity; (x) total stockholder return; (xi) return on sales; (xii) gross or net profit or operating margin; (xiii) costs; (xiv) funds from operations; (xv) expenses; (xvi) working capital; (xvii) earnings per share; (xviii) adjusted earnings per share; (xix) price per share of Common Stock; (xx) regulatory body approval for commercialization of a product; (xxi) implementation or completion of critical projects; (xxii) market share; (xxiii) economic value; (xxiv) customer retention; and (xxv) sales-related goals, any of which may be measured either in absolute terms for our Company or any of our operating units or as compared to any incremental increase or decrease or as compared to results of a peer group or to market performance indicators or indices. The Amended Plan also permits the plan administrator to provide for objectively determinable adjustments to the applicable performance criteria in setting performance goals for QPBC awards.

        Certain Transactions.    The plan administrator has broad discretion to equitably adjust the provisions of the Amended Plan, as well as the terms and conditions of existing and future awards, to prevent the dilution or enlargement of intended benefits and facilitate necessary or desirable changes in the event of certain transactions and events affecting our Common Stock, such as stock dividends, stock splits, mergers, acquisitions, consolidations and other corporate transactions. In addition, in the event of certain non-reciprocal transactions with our stockholders known as "equity restructurings," the plan administrator will make equitable adjustments to the Amended Plan and outstanding awards. In the event of a change in control of our Company (as defined in the Amended Plan), the surviving entity must assume outstanding awards or substitute economically equivalent awards for such outstanding awards; however, if the surviving entity declines to assume or substitute for some or all outstanding awards, then all such awards will vest in full and be deemed exercised (as applicable) upon the transaction. Individual award agreements may provide for additional accelerated vesting and payment provisions.

        Foreign Participants, Transferability, Repricing and Participant Payments.    The plan administrator may modify award terms, establish subplans and/or adjust other terms and conditions of awards, subject to the

16


Table of Contents

share limits described above, in order to facilitate grants of awards subject to the laws and/or stock exchange rules of countries outside of the United States. With limited exceptions for estate planning, domestic relations orders, certain beneficiary designations and the laws of descent and distribution, awards under the Amended Plan are generally non-transferable prior to vesting and exercisable only by the participant. Except in connection with certain corporate transactions, the Amended Plan does not permit the repricing or cancelation of options or SARS in exchange for cash or other awards without stockholder approval when the option or SAR price per share exceeds the fair market value of the underlying shares. With regard to tax withholding, exercise price and purchase price obligations arising in connection with awards under the Amended Plan, the plan administrator may, in its discretion, accept cash or check, shares of our Common Stock that meet specified conditions, a "market sell order" or such other consideration as it deems suitable.

        Plan Amendment and Termination.    Our Board may amend or terminate the Amended Plan at any time; however, except in connection with certain changes in our capital structure, stockholder approval will be required for (i) any amendment that increases the number of shares available under the Amended Plan, and (ii) any amendment that reduces the price per share of any outstanding option or SAR granted under the Amended Plan or that cancels any stock option or SAR in exchange for cash or another award when the option or SAR price per share exceeds the fair market value of the underlying shares. After the tenth anniversary of the Effective Date of the Amended Plan, no incentive stock options may be granted; however, the Amended Plan does not have a specified expiration and will otherwise continue in effect until terminated by us.

        Programs.    The Amended Plan provides that the plan administrator may establish programs under the Amended Plan which contain the terms and conditions intended to govern a specified type of award granted under the Amended Plan. Programs may be established to govern awards tied to specific performance goals and business criteria under the umbrella of the Amended Plan. In all cases, these programs will be consistent with the terms of the Amended Plan.

        Tax Withholding.    We have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or require a participant to remit to us, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, local and foreign taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to any taxable event concerning a participant arising as a result of the Amended Plan. The plan administrator may in its sole discretion and in satisfaction of the foregoing requirement allow a participant to elect to have us withhold shares otherwise issuable under an award. Unless determined otherwise by the plan administrator, the number of shares which may be so withheld or surrendered will be limited to the number of shares which have a fair market value no greater than the aggregate amount of such liabilities based on the maximum individual statutory withholding rates for federal, state, local and foreign income tax and payroll tax purposes for the applicable jurisdiction.

        Data Privacy.    Under the Amended Plan, as a condition of receipt of any award, each participant must explicitly consent to the collection, use and transfer of personal data as described in the Amended Plan by and among us and our subsidiaries for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the participant's participation in the Amended Plan.

Summary of Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Amended Plan

        Following is a brief description of the principal United States federal income tax consequences related to grants made under the Amended Plan and certain other United States federal income tax issues. Some kinds of taxes, such as state, local and foreign income taxes and federal employment taxes, are not discussed. Tax laws are complex and subject to change and may vary depending on individual circumstances and from locality to locality. The summary does not discuss all aspects of federal income taxation that may be relevant in light of a holder's personal circumstances. It is not intended as tax advice for award recipients, who should consult their own tax advisors.

Interest of Certain Persons in Matters to Be Acted Upon; New Plan Benefits

        Our directors and executive officers have an interest in the proposal to approve the Amended Plan, as each would be eligible to receive awards under the Amended Plan.

        The number of awards that our Named Executive Officers, directors, other executive officers and other employees may receive under the Amended Plan will be determined in the discretion of our Board or Compensation Committee, as applicable, in the future, and our Board and Compensation Committee have not made any determination to make future grants to any persons under the Amended Plan as of the date of this Proxy Statement. Therefore, it is not possible to determine the future benefits that will be received by these participants under the Amended Plan, or the benefits that would have been received by such participants if the Amended Plan, as proposed to be amended, had been in effect in the year ended June 30, 2017.

        The Board unanimously recommends that you vote "FOR" the approval of the Amended and Restated OSI Systems, Inc. 2012 Incentive Award Plan. Holders of proxies solicited by this Proxy Statement will vote the proxies received by them as directed on the Proxy or, if no direction is made, in favor of this proposal. In order to be approved, this proposal must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present in person or by proxy and cast at the Annual Meeting.

ADVISORY VOTE ON THE COMPANY'S EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2017
(Proposal No. 4 of the Proxy Card)

Background

        The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the "Dodd Frank Act") enables our stockholders to vote to approve, on an advisory, non-binding basis, our executive compensation for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 as disclosed in the Proxy Statement in accordance with the SEC's rules, including Section 14A of the Exchange Act ("Say-on-Pay"). We currently conduct this advisory vote on an annual basis, and the next advisory vote is expected to be conducted at our 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Summary

        Our Board is committed to excellence in governance and is aware of the significant interest in executive compensation matters by investors and the general public. We are asking our stockholders to provide advisory approval of our executive compensation as such compensation is described in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" section, the tabular disclosure regarding such compensation and the accompanying narrative disclosure set forth in the Proxy Statement. We recognize and value the critical role that executive leadership plays in our performance. Our executive compensation philosophy is intended to ensure that executive compensation is aligned with our short- and long-term business strategy, objectives and stockholder interests. Our executive compensation is designed to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified executives. We believe that our compensation policies and procedures are centered on pay-for-performance principles and are strongly aligned with the short- and long-term interests of our stockholders.

        We urge you to review the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" section of the Proxy Statement and executive-related compensation tables for more information.

Emphasis on Pay-For-Performance Principles

        We believe that executive compensation should be tied to our performance on both a short-term and long-term basis. We believe that our continued success is closely tied to the performance of our executive officers and have designed our compensation practices in order to reward the executives for their contributions to our overall success.

Alignment with Stockholders' Interests

        We grant annual incentives based in part on each executive's contribution to enhancing our short- and long-term profitable growth. We also grant long-term equity-based incentives as a substantial component of the compensation program to reward long-term performance and further align the interests of management with those of our stockholders. We have historically used restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock options as our equity incentive vehicles because these awards enable the executives to establish a meaningful equity stake in our Company while allowing them to participate in future value creation through appreciation of the shares. These awards tie the executives' interests to those of long-term stockholders and serve to motivate the executives to lead us to achieve long-term financial goals that are expected to lead to increased stockholder value. In addition to linking compensation value to stockholder value, these awards generally have vesting conditions, which creates a strong retention incentive and helps ensure the continuity of our operations. For fiscal year 2017, 100% of the long-term equity incentives granted to our corporate Named Executive Officers (our CEO, CFO, and General Counsel) and a significant portion of our equity incentives granted to our divisional Named Executive Officers consisted of restricted stock units subject to performance vesting based on growth of adjusted EBITDA per share.

Table of Contents

Long-Term Performance

        In order to promote our philosophy of pay-for-performance and furthering our objective of aligning the interests of management with those of our stockholders, we have established performance programs for certain of our executive officers. These programs focus on the achievement of our long-term financial goals and factors that create long-term stockholder value. By establishing performance targets tied to key corporate financial metrics, we are incentivizing our officers to achieve our long-term corporate objectives and ultimately increase stockholder value.

Highlights of 2017 Executive Compensation Program

        The Board believes our executive compensation program is designed appropriately and that a vote in favor of the proposal is warranted, including for these reasons: (1) 100% of corporate Named Executive Officer equity awards for fiscal 2017 were performance-based and tied to measurable pre-established targets; (2) we are committed to having strong governance standards and continue to take steps to further this commitment; and (3) we value the opinions and feedback we receive from, and we continue to engage with, our stockholders, and our executive compensation program directly reflects our stockholders' input.

        1.     100% Performance-Based Equity Awards for Corporate Named Executive Officers: Equity awards granted to our CEO, CFO, and General Counsel are 100% performance-based and tied to measurable pre-established adjusted EBITDA per share goals.

        100% of the equity grants made to our corporate Named Executive Officers and a significant portion of the equity grants made to our divisional Named Executive Officers during fiscal 2017 were performance-based and tied to pre-established adjusted EBITDA per share targets which require significant annual growth. 40% of the maximum number of shares that can be earned under each Named Executive Officer's 2017 award has a three-year performance component which vests or is forfeited following the end of the three-year performance cycle, subject to the achievement of the adjusted EBITDA per share growth target for fiscal 2019. If 85% of this three-year adjusted EBITDA per share target is not attained, then these shares are forfeited. The remaining 60% of the maximum number of shares that can be earned under each executive's 2017 award may vest up to 20% per year over the three-year period if annual adjusted EBITDA per share growth targets are exceeded for fiscal years 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively. These grants were made pursuant to our Six-Year Performance Program, which was established in 2012.

        We believe that the performance metrics underlying our long-term equity incentive program are rigorous and we have not disclosed current metrics because their disclosure would allow our competitors to determine the EBITDA and pricing related to key programs, which would be competitively harmful to us. The adjusted EBITDA per share target for the three-year performance cycle ended in fiscal 2017 was $5.69.

        For fiscal 2017, we achieved 161% of the fiscal 2017 adjusted EBITDA per share target, and as a result the 60,000 shares granted to our CEO in fiscal 2015 were vested. In addition, our CEO earned 95,280 shares, consisting of 35,440 vested shares earned pursuant to the fiscal 2017 grant, 29,920 vested shares earned pursuant to the fiscal 2016 grant and 29,920 vested shares earned pursuant to the fiscal 2015 grant.

        2.     Corporate Governance and Best Practices: We are committed to having strong governance standards with respect to our compensation programs, procedures and practices.

        We have taken the following actions to enhance our corporate governance and executive compensation policies:

        3.     Communications with Stockholders: Last year, we conducted a robust stockholder outreach and revised our annual cash incentive program to directly address the feedback we received from our stockholders. During the current year, we continued to have open lines of communication with our stockholders.

        Our Compensation Committee takes very seriously stockholder feedback with respect to executive compensation. Last year, we conducted a robust stockholder outreach, contacting and requesting meetings with over 75% of our top 25 stockholders, so that we could better understand stockholder sentiments and concerns about our program. This year, we continued to have open lines of communications with our stockholders, and our senior management routinely interacted with our stockholders on a variety of matters, including our executive compensation programs and practices.

        In response to the specific stockholder feedback we received, our Compensation Committee revised our annual cash executive officer incentive program for fiscal 2016 to be performance-based and formulaically tied to measurable thresholds, targets, and maximums; and at our 2016 annual meeting, approximately 98% of the votes cast on the advisory vote on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers were in favor our executive compensation. Considering this overwhelming majority in favor, our Compensation Committee determined to continue to apply the same approach with respect to compensation policies and decisions for fiscal 2017.

        Our Board believes that the information above as well as that provided in the section entitled "Compensation of Executive Officers and Directors" contained in the Proxy Statement demonstrates that our executive compensation program was designed appropriately and is working to ensure that management's interests are aligned with the stockholders' interests and support long-term value creation. The following resolution will be submitted for a stockholder vote at the Annual Meeting:

        "RESOLVED, that the stockholders of OSI Systems, Inc. approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company's Named Executive Officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K of the SEC, including in the section entitled "Compensation Discussion and Analysis," the accompanying compensation tables, and the related narrative disclosure contained in the Proxy Statement."

        The Board recommends that you vote "FOR" the approval of our executive compensation for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017. Holders of proxies solicited by this Proxy Statement will vote the proxies received by them as directed on the Proxy or, if no direction is made, in favor of this proposal. In order to be approved on an advisory basis, this proposal must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present in person or by proxy and cast at the Annual Meeting.

ADVISORY VOTE ON THE DETERMINATION
OF THE FREQUENCY OF THE ADVISORY VOTE
ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
(Proposal No. 5 of the Proxy Card)

        The Dodd-Frank Act enables stockholders to indicate how frequently they believe we should seek future Say-on-Pay advisory votes (the "Say-on-Frequency"). Accordingly, we are seeking an advisory, non-binding determination from our stockholders as to the frequency with which we should present future Say-on-Pay advisory votes to our stockholders. We are providing stockholders the option of selecting a frequency of every one, two or three years, or abstaining. For the reasons described below, we recommend that the stockholders select a frequency of one year, or an annual vote.

        Our Board values constructive dialogue on executive compensation and other important governance topics with our stockholders. Our Board believes an advisory vote every year is appropriate because it will enable our stockholders to vote on the most recent executive compensation information that is presented in our Proxy Statement, leading to more meaningful and timely communication between us and our stockholders on executive compensation matters. An annual advisory vote on executive compensation is consistent with our policy of seeking input from, and engaging in discussions with, our stockholders on corporate governance matters and our executive compensation philosophy, policies and practices. Additionally, our Board's determination was further based on the premise that this recommendation could be modified in future years if it becomes apparent that an annual frequency vote is not meaningful, burdensome or more frequent than dictated by best corporate governance practices.

        As a stockholder, you have the choice to vote for one of the following choices, as indicated on the Proxy Card: to hold the Say-on-Frequency advisory vote on executive compensation every year, every two years or every three years, or you may abstain from voting. While the Say-on-Frequency vote is advisory in nature and will not bind us to adopt any particular frequency, our Board intends to carefully consider the stockholder vote resulting from the proposal in determining how frequently we will hold future Say-on-Pay advisory votes.

        The Board recommends that you vote for "1 YEAR" as the determination on frequency for an advisory vote on our executive compensation. Holders of proxies solicited by this Proxy Statement will vote the proxies received by them as directed on the Proxy or, if no direction is made, in favor of an annual frequency. The frequency of the advisory vote on executive compensation receiving the greatest number of votes will be considered the frequency recommended by our stockholders.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

        This Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes our compensation philosophy, objectives, and processes, including the methodology for determining executive compensation for our Named Executive Officers. For additional information, please refer to the more detailed compensation disclosures beginning with and following the "Summary Compensation Table" contained in this Proxy Statement.

Advisory Vote on Named Executive Officer Compensation

        We maintain open lines of communication with our stockholders, and senior management routinely interacts with our stockholders on a number of matters, including executive compensation, in order to better understand their opinions and to obtain their feedback. Further, the Compensation Committee considers the outcome of our annual say on pay vote when making decisions regarding our executive compensation program. At our 2016 annual meeting, approximately 98% of the votes cast on the advisory vote on the compensation of our Named Executive Officers were in favor of our executive compensation policies. Considering the level of support of our stockholders of our compensation program, our Compensation Committee determined to continue to apply the same approach with respect to compensation policies and decisions for fiscal 2017.

        At the upcoming Annual Meeting, we will again hold an annual advisory vote to approve executive compensation. We will continue to engage with our stockholders throughout the year, and the Compensation Committee will consider the results from this year's and future advisory votes on executive compensation, as well as any feedback received from stockholders.

Governance Highlights

        We are committed to having strong governance practices with respect to our compensation programs, practices and procedures. We believe that these practices reinforce our emphasis on tying executive compensation to performance. The following chart highlights some of our governance practices with respect to executive compensation:

What We Do   What We Do Not Do
Use 100% performance-based vesting with respect to corporate Named Executive Officer equity awards   No excise tax gross-ups upon a change in control

Have formulaic performance-based annual incentives

 

No hedging, pledging, or speculative transactions are permitted by executives and directors

Maintain a robust clawback policy

 

No re-pricing of underwater stock options

Maintain share ownership and retention guidelines for executives and directors

 

No stock option grants with an exercise price less than fair market value

Conduct an annual say on pay vote

 

No "single trigger" severance payments owing solely on account of the occurrence of a change in control event

Maintain open lines of communication with stockholders

Executive Compensation Summary

        During fiscal 2017, we (a) achieved record revenue of $961 million; (b) delivered 35% non-GAAP earnings per share growth; (c) had a strong win rate for our Security division's Real Time Tomography (RTT®) checked baggage screening product in the EMEA region; (d) strengthened our leadership team; (e) completed two significant strategic acquisitions in our Security division and signed a definitive agreement for a third strategic acquisition (which was completed in the first quarter of fiscal 2018); (f) divested a non-core business in our Healthcare division; and (g) made significant capital structural enhancements with the expansion of our revolving credit facility and issuance of convertible notes.

        Leverage Business Infrastructure.    Even as we launched new products, entered new markets, and invested substantial amounts in R&D, we actively leveraged our business infrastructure and maintained intelligent cost management.

        Growth in Markets and Opportunities.    In fiscal 2017, we continued to expand our addressable markets through new product introductions and targeting of markets that did not previously represent a significant source of revenues. This dynamic approach has served, and we believe it will continue to serve, to sustain growth over the long term. Some of our key achievements during fiscal 2017 include the following:

        Building a Foundation for the Future.    We continue to make significant targeted investments in R&D and acquisitions. In 2017, we completed two significant strategic acquisitions and entered into a definitive agreement for a third strategic acquisition in our Security division. We believe that these acquisitions and investments, as well as other product development programs that are currently underway, will result in enhanced business outcomes for years to come.

Role of the Compensation Committee

        Our Board appoints members to the Compensation Committee. Each member of the Compensation Committee is independent within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the SEC and the Listing Standards, as currently in effect. The Compensation Committee is responsible for establishing and approving all compensation for our Named Executive Officers, including base salaries, annual incentives, long-term equity incentive compensation, benefits and perquisites, and other compensation. The Compensation Committee may delegate certain of its responsibilities to a subcommittee, to individuals or to others.

        Compensation for each of our Named Executive Officers (other than our Chief Executive Officer) is recommended to the Compensation Committee by our Chief Executive Officer. Compensation for our Chief Executive Officer is established by the Compensation Committee on its own.

        The Compensation Committee has designed an executive compensation program that is focused on the attainment of consistent, long-term stockholder returns through (a) aligning executives' incentives with both single-year and multi-year performance, and (b) attracting and retaining executives with capabilities to lead the Company to excel in a competitive landscape. This structure is designed to emphasize pay for performance while simultaneously mitigating risk exposure.

Table of Contents

Executive Compensation Program Elements

        The particular elements of the compensation program for our Named Executive Officers consist of both fixed compensation and variable compensation. Consistent with our pay-for-performance philosophy, we structure our compensation program such that fixed compensation is a relatively small percentage of total compensation whereas variable compensation comprises a significant percentage of total compensation. The Compensation Committee takes risk into account when establishing the compensation program and believes that the current structure appropriately balances risk and the desire to focus executives on specific annual and long-term goals while not encouraging unnecessary or excessive risk taking.

        The following is an overview of the elements of our compensation and benefits programs for fiscal 2017:

Pay Element
  Description
Base Salary   Fixed cash compensation set based on the duties and scope of responsibilities of each executive officer's position and the experience the individual brings to the position.

Annual Incentives

 

Cash-based annual incentives that are determined formulaically based on adjusted return on equity ("AROE") metrics, including a negative discretion feature whereby calculated awards may be reduced up to 20%.

 

 

The Turnkey Solutions Incentive Program allows for annual incentives in the form of shares of stock or, at our discretion, cash to be granted to Mr. Mehra based on the achievement of certain pre-established performance metrics.

Long-Term Incentives

 

The fiscal 2017 program with respect to the Named Executive Officers consisted of performance-based restricted stock units under the Six-Year Performance Program, which are earned based on the achievement of pre-established EBITDA-based metrics for each of the three years following grant, as well as an aggregate three-year metric. In addition, division executives Mr. Mehra and Mr. Chin received some time-based restricted stock units.

Benefits

 

Employee Stock Purchase Plan, medical, dental, and vision health insurance plans and life and long-term disability insurance.

Perquisites

 

For fiscal 2017, perquisites included car allowances.

Retirement

 

401(k) retirement plan, which includes a Company match.

 

 

Nonqualified deferred compensation plan that permits the deferral of salary and cash incentives at executive officers' election and permits a Company match.

 

 

Nonqualified defined benefit plan, of which our CEO is the only participant.

Table of Contents

        In fiscal 2017, fixed compensation comprised approximately 14% to 57% and variable compensation comprised approximately 43% to 86% of each Named Executive Officer's total compensation. Average variable compensation for the Named Executive Officers represented 83% of total compensation.

GRAPHIC

        Fixed Compensation.    Fixed compensation is intended to compensate our Named Executive Officers for their ongoing responsibilities and consists of base salary. Base salary is set to attract and retain executive talent. Base salaries for our Named Executive Officers are established at levels considered appropriate in light of the duties and scope of responsibilities of each executive officer's position and the experience the individual brings to the position. Salaries are reviewed periodically, typically on an annual basis.

        The Compensation Committee takes a conservative approach with respect to base salary increases. In determining whether base salary levels for fiscal year 2017 were appropriate, the Compensation Committee considered the minimum base salary amount provided for in the Named Executive Officer's employment agreement, as well as a determination of each Named Executive Officer's responsibilities, past performance and expected future contributions. In fiscal 2017, the Compensation Committee determined not to adjust any base salary levels for any of the Named Executive Officers with the exception of Mr. Mehra whose salary was increased by approximately 14% to $400,000 to compensate him for taking on significantly greater responsibility for the oversight and management of the cargo and vehicle inspection and turnkey business lines within our Security division.

        Variable Compensation.    Variable compensation provides our Named Executive Officers with the opportunity for substantial rewards for achieving successful performance and contributing toward sustainable and consistent stockholder returns, and consists principally of annual incentive awards and long-term incentive compensation.

        Benefits and Perquisites.    Benefits and perquisites are designed to attract and retain key employees. Currently, our Named Executive Officers are eligible to participate in benefit plans available to all employees, including our 401(k) Plan, Employee Stock Purchase Plan, medical, dental, and vision health insurance plans and life and long-term disability insurance plans. The 401(k) Plan, Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the medical, dental and vision plans require each participant to pay a contributory amount. We have elected to pay amounts contributed to medical, dental and vision health insurance plans and life and long-term disability insurance plans on behalf of our Named Executive Officers. In addition, we maintain an executive medical reimbursement plan under which our Named Executive Officers receive reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses not covered by their health insurance plans. Employee individual plan contributions are subject to the maximum contribution allowed by the Internal Revenue Code. We also lease automobiles for or provide an auto allowance to certain of our Named Executive Officers.

        We maintain a Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Deferred Compensation Plan") that is unfunded for federal tax purposes and allows our Named Executive Officers and a select group of other managers or highly compensated employees (as designated by the Compensation Committee) to defer a specified percentage of certain compensation, including salary, bonuses and commissions. Distributions may be made in a lump sum (or in installments if elected in accordance with the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan) upon termination of employment, disability, a specified withdrawal date or death. Additional information about this plan is summarized below under the heading "Nonqualified Deferred Compensation."

        We also maintain a Nonqualified Defined Benefit Plan (the "Defined Benefit Plan") that is unfunded for federal tax purposes and that constitutes an unsecured promise by the Company to make payments to participants in the future following their retirement, termination in connection with a change in control of the Company, or their death or disability. Under the terms of the Defined Benefit Plan, a committee designated by the Board may select participants from among our Named Executive Officers and a select group of managers or other highly compensated employees. Currently, Mr. Chopra is the only participant in this plan. Additional information about this plan is summarized below under the heading "Pension Benefits."

        Total Compensation Mix.    While the Compensation Committee does not apply a predetermined or mathematical weighting to determine the fixed and variable elements of compensation, the Compensation Committee believes that the elements described above provide a well-proportioned mix of equity based, at risk or performance based compensation, and retention based compensation that produces short-term and long-term incentives and rewards. We believe this compensation mix provides our Named Executive Officers a measure of security as to the minimum levels of compensation that they are eligible to receive, while motivating the Named Executive Officers to focus on the business measures that will produce a high level of corporate performance, as well as reducing the risk of recruitment of highly qualified executive talent by our competitors. The mix of annual incentives and the equity based awards likewise provides an appropriate balance between short-term financial performance and long-term financial and stock performance. We believe that this compensation mix results in a pay-for-performance orientation that is aligned with our compensation philosophy, which takes into account individual, group and Company performance.

Bases for Our Compensation Policies and Decisions

        In determining compensation awarded to our Named Executive Officers for fiscal 2017, the Compensation Committee performed a review of both overall and relative individual Named Executive Officer and corporate performance based on the qualitative and quantitative factors described in the table below. The factors considered did not have any predetermined or mathematical weighting; rather, the Compensation Committee considered the overall performance of each executive, considering the factors, and including consideration of unplanned events and issues emerging during the fiscal year. Each factor was evaluated and taken into consideration in the Compensation Committee's overall determination of each Named Executive Officer's total compensation package, including both the amount of compensation as well as allocation of such compensation between short-term and long-term components.

        The Compensation Committee's review included evaluating the compensation of the Named Executive Officers in light of information regarding the compensation practices and corporate financial performance of other companies. In making its determinations, the Compensation Committee reviewed information summarizing the compensation paid at peer group companies and more broad-based compensation surveys. The companies in the fiscal 2017 peer group were developed based on similarity in size and operations within the industries in which we operate as follows:

AAR Corp.

 

Calix,  Inc.

        In connection with executive compensation decisions for fiscal 2017, the Compensation Committee engaged independent compensation consultant firm, Pearl Meyer. The Compensation Committee also

33


Table of Contents

considered broad-based surveys that reflected compensation levels and practices for executives holding comparable positions at the companies covered by the surveys and adjustments based on the cost of living in certain geographic areas. The review of the surveys further assisted the Compensation Committee in determining the appropriate level and mix of compensation for each Named Executive Officer. In connection with its review, the Compensation Committee also considered that certain Named Executive Officers were located in the high cost of living area in the geographic location of our Company headquarters.

        While the Compensation Committee did not engage in formal benchmarking with pre-established targets, the Compensation Committee reviewed our actual performance taken as a whole as well as our performance relative to our peer group and established compensation levels at the competitive level that it believed most appropriately corresponded to our comparative performance.

        For fiscal 2017, the Compensation Committee determined that it was appropriate to maintain salary levels constant for all Named Executive Officers with the exception of Mr. Mehra whose salary was increased as discussed above. The Compensation Committee believes that the fixed component of compensation is designed to compensate each Named Executive Officer based on the duties and scope of responsibilities of his position and the experience he brings to the position. Consistent with the Company's pay-for-performance philosophy, the variable component of compensation, in the form of annual incentives and performance-based equity grants comprised a significant portion of total compensation.

        The Compensation Committee's compensation decisions are designed to encourage performance that enhances long-term stockholder value. The Compensation Committee believes that attracting and retaining executive talent capable of achieving our long-term, strategic objectives is the best way to align executive compensation decisions with the interests of stockholders. The Compensation Committee also believes that meeting financial targets as well as near-term strategic goals demonstrates whether an executive is on track to accomplish longer-term objectives.

Minimum Equity Ownership and Retention Guidelines

        We believe that our executive officers should hold a significant amount of Company equity to link their long-term economic interests directly to those of our stockholders. Accordingly, we have established requirements that executive officers own at minimum equity of the Company valued at five times their respective annual base salaries. We believe that this multiple constitutes significant amounts for our executive officers and provides a substantial link between the interests of our executive officers and those of our stockholders. During such time that an executive officer has not attained the share ownership guideline, he is required to retain at least 50% of the shares acquired upon exercise of options or vesting of restricted stock awards or units, net of amounts required to pay taxes and exercise price. We periodically review our minimum equity ownership guidelines. As of June 30, 2017, each of our Named Executive Officers met or exceeded our minimum equity ownership guidelines.

Clawback Policy

        We have adopted a clawback policy. The policy provides that if an accounting restatement is required due to our material non-compliance with any accounting requirements, then we will seek to recover any excess in the cash and equity incentive compensation earned by all of our executive officers, regardless of whether they were at fault or not in the circumstances leading to the restatement, over the prior three years over what they would have earned if there had not been a material non-compliance in the financial statements. Each Named Executive Officer's employment agreement also contains a clawback provision.

Table of Contents

Policy Prohibiting the Hedging or Pledging of Company Stock

        We have adopted a policy that prohibits our executive officers and directors from entering into any transaction that is designed to hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of our Common Stock or other equity securities. We have also adopted a policy that prohibits our executive officers and directors from holding Company stock or other equity securities in margin accounts or pledging Company stock or other equity securities as collateral for a loan. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, no shares of Company stock are pledged by any Named Executive Officer or director.

Employment Agreements

        We have entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Chopra, Edrick, Mehra, and Sze and an offer letter with Mr. Chin. The terms of each of such agreements or arrangements are summarized below under the heading "Employment Agreements." These types of arrangements are used to retain executives and formalize the terms of the executives' employment.

Impact of Accounting and Tax on the Form of Compensation

        The Compensation Committee considers applicable tax laws, securities laws and accounting regulations in structuring and modifying its compensation arrangements and employee benefit plans. The Compensation Committee has considered the impact of generally accepted accounting principles on our use of equity based awards. The Compensation Committee also considers the limits on deductibility of compensation imposed by Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to annual compensation exceeding $1.0 million and Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code with respect to change in control payments exceeding specified limits.

Summary Compensation Table

        The following table sets forth the compensation for our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and our three highest paid executive officers serving as executive officers on June 30, 2017 (the "Named Executive Officers") for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2017, 2016 and 2015:

Pension Benefits

        We maintain the Defined Benefit Plan. The Defined Benefit Plan constitutes an unsecured promise by the Company to make payments to participants upon vesting. Mr. Chopra is currently the only participant in the Defined Benefit Plan.

        Under the terms of his participation, Mr. Chopra will be entitled to a total benefit of $10 million payable over a 10-year period commencing January 1, 2019 in quarterly installments of $250,000. Mr. Chopra is fully vested in all benefits under the Defined Benefit Plan. In the event of Mr. Chopra's death or disability, he or his dependents shall be entitled to $10 million payable over 10 years commencing within 60 days following his death or disability, as applicable. In the event of Mr. Chopra's Separation from Service (as defined in the Defined Benefit Plan) within 24 months following a Change in Control (as defined in the Defined Benefit Plan), Mr. Chopra shall be entitled to (i) the net present value of $6 million of his retirement benefit payable in a single lump sum within 90 days following his Separation from Service and (ii) the net present value of $4 million of his retirement benefit payable in the form of a single lump sum 90 days following the first anniversary of his Separation from Service, each subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. In the event a Change in Control occurs after his Separation from Service

during the payout of Mr. Chopra's benefits, the present value of all remaining payments shall be paid in the form of a single lump sum within 90 days following the Change in Control.

        The following table sets forth information regarding the Defined Benefit Plan for the participating Named Executive Officer during fiscal year ended June 30, 2017(1). For a discussion of the valuation method and all material assumptions applied in quantifying the present value of the current accrued benefit, please see Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2017.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

        We adopted the Deferred Compensation Plan in May 2008, as amended and restated in April 2014. Under the Deferred Compensation Plan, a select group of our management or highly compensated employees (as designated by the Compensation Committee), including our Named Executive Officers, may defer a specified percentage of their salary, bonuses and commissions and thereby defer taxation of these deferred amounts until actual payment of the deferred amounts in future years. The Named Executive Officers may elect to defer up to 80% of their base salary and up to 100% of other types of eligible compensation. The Deferred Compensation Plan also allows us to make discretionary contributions and matching contributions on behalf of eligible participants.

        Participating Named Executive Officers receive market-based returns on their deferred compensation amounts based on the performance of a variety of mutual fund-type investment vehicles chosen by them and which are similar to the investment vehicles made available to all employees participating in the Deferred Compensation Plan. Participants may at any time change their investment allocations among the investment vehicles made available under the Deferred Compensation Plan. The rates of return for the various investment vehicles for deferred amounts in the Deferred Compensation Plan in fiscal 2017 ranged from –1.01% to 27.19%.

        Distributions to participants may be made in a lump sum (or in installments if elected in accordance with the terms of the Deferred Compensation Plan) upon termination of employment, disability, a specified withdrawal date or death.

Employment Agreements

        We have entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Chopra, Edrick, Mehra, and Sze and an offer letter with Mr. Chin.

        In April 2012, we entered into our current employment agreement with Mr. Chopra, which was effective as of January 1, 2012. Mr. Chopra's employment agreement was amended, effective as of July 1, 2015. Unless the agreement is terminated earlier in accordance with its terms, the agreement has a three-year term that automatically renews on each anniversary of the effective date of the agreement for a new three year term. The employment agreement terminates on January 1 following the year in which Mr. Chopra turns 68 (the "Chopra Scheduled Retirement Date"). The agreement provides for an initial annual base salary of $1,000,000. Mr. Chopra is also eligible to receive bonus payments from the bonus pool established by us for our officers and employees and to participate in incentive compensation and other employee benefit plans established by us. Mr. Chopra is also entitled to receive the benefit award specified for him under the Defined Benefit Plan. The agreement contains certain restrictive covenants and other prohibitions that protect our proprietary and confidential information following termination and preclude Mr. Chopra during the term of the agreement and for 18 months thereafter from soliciting for hire any individual that was an executive, supervisor or manager of the Company on, or within 90 days prior to, Mr. Chopra's last date of employment with us. The agreement also contains a clawback provision whereby Mr. Chopra's incentive or performance based compensation shall be subject to reduction or

41


Table of Contents

repayment by reason of a correction or restatement of our financial information if and to the extent such reduction or repayment is required by any applicable law.

        Under the terms of the agreement, we may terminate Mr. Chopra's employment at any time for "cause" (as defined in the agreement), or for the following additional reasons: (i) in the event of Mr. Chopra's death; (ii) because of physical or mental incapacity or disability, failure to perform the essential functions of his position for an aggregate period of 180 days within any 12 month period; or (iii) without cause on 12 months written notice, each as further detailed in the agreement. Mr. Chopra may also terminate his employment agreement at any time upon 12 months written notice to the Company or upon three months' notice if such termination is for "good reason" (as defined in the agreement).

        In the event of the termination of Mr. Chopra's employment by us without cause, our non-renewal of Mr. Chopra's employment agreement, or termination of such employment by Mr. Chopra for good reason, Mr. Chopra shall be entitled to a single lump-sum payment equal to three times the average of Mr. Chopra's highest two years out of the prior five years of total annual compensation, including: (i) base salary; (ii) bonuses and incentive compensation excluding "special bonus programs" (as defined in the agreement); (iii) the fair value of any stock, options or other equity grants whether vested or not and (iv) the annualized value of all benefits and perquisites. Mr. Chopra would also receive the acceleration of vesting of all stock options, equity grants and other incentive compensation awards (excluding any cash bonus attributable to performance in fiscal years that are not complete as of Mr. Chopra's last date of employment and any special bonus programs) from us to Mr. Chopra and an extension of time to exercise such stock options such that Mr. Chopra's right to exercise such stock options shall continue until the first anniversary of the last day of his employment, but in no event later than the expiration date of the options.

        In the event of the termination of Mr. Chopra's employment by us without cause or by Mr. Chopra for good reason, within 90 days prior to or 12 months after a "change in control" (as defined in the agreement), then Mr. Chopra shall be entitled to the same lump sum payment described in the previous paragraph, which shall be subject to mitigation as provided in applicable Treasury Regulations. Mr. Chopra may, at his option, and in lieu of receiving the forgoing, elect to receive a lump sum payment in an amount equal to the product of 2.99 multiplied by Mr. Chopra's "base amount" (as defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 280G(b)(3)); provided that the amount of this alternative payment shall be reduced by the value of acceleration of any equity, stock options, incentive compensation or deferred compensation accelerated by reason of termination to the extent required to be included in the "base amount" pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 280G.

Each Executive's employment agreement was amended, effective as of July 1, 2015. The terms of such agreements are substantially identical. Unless the agreement is terminated earlier in accordance with its terms, the agreement has a one year term that shall automatically be extended for successive one year periods, unless either party delivers notice of non-renewal to the other

The agreements provide for an initial annual base salary of $402,000 for Mr. Edrick and $350,000 for Mr. Sze. The Executive is also eligible to receive bonus payments from the bonus pool established by us for our officers and employees and to participate in incentive compensation and other employee benefit plans established by us. The agreement contains certain restrictive covenants and other prohibitions that protect our proprietary and confidential information following termination and preclude the Executive during the term of the agreement and for 18 months thereafter from soliciting for hire any individual that was an executive, supervisor or manager of the Company on, or within 90 days prior to, the Executive's last date of employment with us. Each Executive's agreement also contains a clawback provision whereby the Executive's incentive or performance based compensation shall be subject to reduction or repayment by reason of a correction or restatement of our financial information if and to the extent such reduction or repayment is required by any applicable law.

        Under the terms of the agreement, we may terminate the Executive's employment at any time for "cause" (as defined in the agreement), or for the following additional reasons: (i) in the event of the Executive's death; (ii) because of physical or mental incapacity or disability, failure to perform the essential functions of his position for an aggregate period of 180 days within any 12 month period; or (iii) without cause on 30 days written notice, each as further detailed in the agreement. The Executive may also terminate his employment agreement for "good reason" (as defined in the agreement) or at any time on 30 days written notice.

        In the event of the termination of the Executive's employment by us without cause, our non-renewal of the Executive's employment agreement or the termination of such employment by the Executive for good reason, the Executive shall be entitled to: (i) an amount equal to 24 months' salary at the Executive's then-current base salary plus an amount equal to two times the average of the highest three annual bonuses (excluding any special bonus programs) paid by us to the Executive in the five years preceding such termination; (ii) continuation of the Executive's car usage or allowance payments for a period of six months after separation from service; (iii) an allowance of $6,000 for outplacement services; and (iv) acceleration of vesting of all stock options, equity grants and other incentive compensation awards (excluding any cash bonus attributable to performance in fiscal years that are not complete as of the Executive's last date of employment and any special bonus programs) from us to Executive as follows: (a) grants vesting over time shall be fully vested on separation from service, (b) grants vesting based on performance shall be accelerated and fully vested on separation from service without regard to whether the performance targets are met for such performance period, and (c) the time to exercise nonqualified stock options shall be extended such that Executive's right to exercise such stock options shall continue until the first anniversary of the Executive's last date of employment, but in no event later than the expiration date of the options.

        In the event of the termination of the Executive's employment by us without cause or by the Executive for good reason, within 90 days prior to or 12 months after a "change in control" (as defined in the agreement), then the Executive shall be entitled to (i) the severance payment described in the applicable paragraph above and (ii) equity, stock options and other incentive compensation awards (excluding any cash bonus attributable to performance in fiscal years that are not complete as of the Executive's last date of employment and any special bonus programs) granted by us to Executive, whether time vested or performance vested, shall, to the extent unvested, immediately vest, and such stock options shall remain exercisable by Executive for no less than 12 months after the date of such separation from service. Under such circumstances, the Executive may, at his option, and in lieu of receiving the forgoing amounts, elect to receive a lump sum payment in an amount equal to the product of 2.99 multiplied by the Executive's "base amount" (as defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 280G(b)(3) excluding payments under any special bonus programs); provided that the amount of this alternative payment shall be reduced by the value of acceleration of any equity, stock options, incentive compensation or deferred compensation accelerated by

        In the event of the termination of Mr. Mehra's employment by us without cause or by Mr. Mehra for good reason, within 90 days prior to or 12 months after a "change in control" (as defined in the agreement), then Mr. Mehra shall be entitled to (i) the severance payment described in the applicable paragraph above and (ii) equity, stock options and other incentive compensation awards (excluding any cash bonus attributable to performance in fiscal years that are not complete as of Mr. Mehra's last date of employment and any special bonus programs) granted by us to Mr. Mehra, whether time vested or performance vested, shall, to the extent unvested, immediately vest, and such stock options shall remain exercisable by Mr. Mehra for no less than 12 months after the date of such separation from service (the "Change in Control Payment").

Potential Payment upon Termination of Employment or Change in Control

        The following tables reflect the breakdown of potential payments and benefits upon termination or a change in control required under the Named Executive Officers' current employment agreements. The tables therefore assume that the terms of the employment agreement to which each Named Executive Officer is currently subject had been in effect on June 30, 2017, and that employment terminated on such date. The tables also assume that the price of our Common Stock, on which certain calculations in the following tables are made, was the closing price of our Common Stock on June 30, 2017, the last business day of the fiscal year ($75.15).

        Please also note that regardless of the manner in which a Named Executive Officer's employment terminates, the officer is entitled to receive amounts earned during the term of employment. These amounts, which are not included in the following tables, include: (i) regular salary accrued as of the final date of employment; (ii) bonuses accrued as of the final date of employment; (iii) vacation and paid time off accrued as of the final date of employment; (iv) business expense reimbursements not yet paid as of the final date of employment; and (v) amounts contributed under our qualified and nonqualified deferred compensation plans.

We have eliminated from this table the columns titled "Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation," "Change in Pension Value and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings" and "All Other Compensation" because no amounts would have been included in such columns.

Amounts are calculated utilizing the accounting guidance related to stock-based compensation under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2017 for a discussion of the assumptions used in valuation of stock awards. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, 5,600 RSUs were granted to Mr. Good and Mr. Luskin; 4,100 RSUs were granted to Dr. Ballhaus, and 2,600 RSUs were granted to Mr. Hawkins, all with a fair value of $60.74; and 1,950 RSUs were granted to Mr. Chizever with a fair value of $66.59. As of June 30, 2017, Mr. Good had 12,800 unvested stock awards outstanding, Mr. Luskin had 12,800 unvested stock awards outstanding, Dr. Ballhaus had 8,525 unvested stock awards outstanding, and Mr. Hawkins had 3,335 unvested stock awards outstanding, and Mr. Chizever had 1,950 unvested stock awards outstanding.

Director Share Ownership Requirements

        We believe that our directors should hold a significant amount of Company equity to link their long-term economic interests directly to those of our stockholders. Accordingly, we have established requirements that our directors own at minimum equity of the Company valued at five times their annual retainers. We believe that this multiple constitutes significant amounts for our directors and provides a substantial link between the interests of our directors and those of our stockholders. During such time that a director has not attained the share ownership guideline, he is required to retain at least 50% of the shares acquired upon exercise of options or vesting of restricted stock or unit awards, net of amounts required to pay taxes and exercise price. We periodically review our minimum equity ownership guidelines. As of June 30, 2017, each of our directors met or exceeded our minimum equity ownership guidelines, with the exception of Mr. Hawkins who was elected as a director in December 2015.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

        In 1994, we, together with Electronics Corporation of India Limited ("ECIL"), an unaffiliated Indian company, formed ECIL-Rapiscan Security Products Limited, a joint venture under the laws of India ("ECIL Rapiscan"). We own a 36% interest in the joint venture, Mr. Chopra owns a 10.5% interest and Mr. Mehra owns a 4.5% interest. The remaining interest in the joint venture is owned by ECIL. We sell security and inspection kits to ECIL at a price no less favorable to us than the price we charge unaffiliated third parties for such products. To date, our portion of the earnings of ECIL Rapiscan has been immaterial to our financial results and results of operations.

        Mohinder Chopra, who is the brother of Deepak Chopra, our Chief Executive Officer, is our Senior Vice President/General Manager India. His total compensation for fiscal year 2017 was valued at approximately $309,000.

        Gerald Chizever, a member of our Board of Directors, is a partner at Loeb & Loeb LLP. Loeb & Loeb advises the Company in various matters from time to time. The fees paid by the Company to Loeb & Loeb in each of the past three fiscal years were significantly below the applicable threshold outlined in The NASDAQ Stock Market guidelines for determining director independence. Our Board of Directors carefully reviewed the nature of our engagement of Loeb & Loeb and the services rendered, including the expertise and relevant experience of the firm, the firm's and specific partners' knowledge of our Company and our business and past legal engagements, and the fees paid in such engagements, and determined that Mr. Chizever is independent under the standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market.

        The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors reviews proposed transactions in which the Company and any person who is a member of the Board of Directors, a nominee to become a member of the Board of Directors, an executive officer of the Company, a holder of more than five percent of our voting securities, or any immediate family member of any of the foregoing would have a direct or indirect material interest in the transaction and the amount involved, when added together with the amounts of all other transactions with that related person for that fiscal year, exceeds $75,000. The review involves an evaluation, without participation by any member of the Audit Committee with a direct or indirect material interest in the transaction, of whether the transaction would be on terms at least as favorable to us as those that could have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties. This policy is supported by the Charter of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

Compensation Committee Report

        The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis provisions to be included in this Proxy Statement. Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Compensation Committee recommends to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis referred to above be included in this Proxy Statement.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

        Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the executive officers and directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a class of securities registered under Section 12(b) the Exchange Act to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC. Such officers, directors and stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all such reports that they file. None of our directors or executive officers owns more than 10% of the our securities. Based solely upon our review of such forms furnished to us during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, and written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that our executive officers and directors have complied with the requirements imposed on them by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, with the exception of one untimely Form 4 filing by Dr. Ballhaus.

Audit Fees

        The following table represents fees charged for professional audit services rendered by Moss Adams for the audit of our annual financial statements for the years ended June 30, 2016 and 2017 and fees billed by Moss Adams for other services during those years (in thousands):

 
  FY 2016   FY 2017  

Audit Fees

  $ 1,000   $ 1,404  

Audit-Related Fees

  $ 20   $ 160  

Tax Fees

         

All Other Fees

         

Total

  $ 1,020   $ 1,564  

        "Audit Fees" consist of fees billed for professional services rendered for the integrated audit of our consolidated financial statements and the review of our interim consolidated financial statements included in quarterly reports and services that are normally provided by Moss Adams in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.

        The term "Audit-Related Fees" means fees for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements other than audit fees. This includes research and analysis on accounting matters performed in conjunction with the audit and professional services for the audit of the financial statements of our 401(k) plan.

        The term "Tax Fees" means fees for professional services rendered for tax advice, planning and compliance (domestic and international).

        The term "All Other Fees" means fees for products and services other than for the services described above.

Audit Committee's Pre-Approval Policy

        The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit, audit-related and tax services (other than prohibited non-audit services) to be provided by the independent public accountants. The Audit Committee has delegated to its Chairman the authority to pre-approve all other services to be provided by the independent public accountants, up to an aggregate of $50,000 each fiscal year. The Chairman reports each such pre-approval decision to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

Independence

        The Audit Committee has considered whether Moss Adams' provision of services other than its audit of the Company's annual financial statement and its review of the Company's quarterly financial statements is compatible with maintaining such independent public accountant's independence and has determined that it is compatible.

REPORT OF AUDIT COMMITTEE

        During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, the Audit Committee was composed of four non-employee directors, namely, Steven C. Good, Meyer Luskin, William F. Ballhaus, and James B. Hawkins. All members of the Audit Committee meet the independence and experience requirements of the SEC and Listing Standards. Our Board has determined that Mr. Good qualifies as an "Audit Committee Financial Expert" as this term has been defined under the rules and regulations of the SEC. To date, no determination has been made as to whether the other members of the Audit Committee qualify as Audit Committee Financial Experts. The Audit Committee met four times during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017.

        At each of its meetings, the Audit Committee met with the senior members of our financial management team and the independent public accountants. The Audit Committee's agenda is established by the Audit Committee's Chairman and our Chief Financial Officer. During the year, the Audit Committee had private sessions with our independent public accountants at which open discussions of financial management, accounting and internal control issues took place.

        The Audit Committee recommended to the Board the engagement of Moss Adams as our independent public accountants. The Audit Committee reviewed with our financial managers and the independent public accountants overall audit scopes and plans, the results of internal and external audit examinations, evaluations by the auditors of our internal control, and the quality of our financial reporting.

        The Audit Committee has reviewed with management the audited financial statements in the Annual Report, including a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements. In addressing the quality of management's accounting judgments, members of the Audit Committee asked for management's representations that our audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and have expressed to both management and the independent public accountants their general preference for conservative policies when a range of accounting options is available.

        The Audit Committee believes that by thus focusing its discussions with the independent public accountants, it can promote a meaningful dialogue that provides a basis for its oversight judgments.

        The Audit Committee also discussed with the independent public accountants all other matters required to be discussed by the independent public accountants with the Audit Committee under Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1, AU section 380), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB") in Rule 3200T. The Audit Committee received and discussed with the independent public accountants their annual written report on their independence from our Company and our management, which is made under PCAOB Ethics and Independence Rule 3526 (Communicating with Audit Committee Concerning Independence), and considered with the independent public accountants whether the provision of services provided by them to our Company during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 was compatible with the independent public accountants' independence.

        Finally, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management and the independent public accountants the evaluation of our internal control and the audit of management's report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002.

        In performing all of these functions, the Audit Committee acts only in an oversight capacity. The Audit Committee reviews our SEC reports prior to filing and all quarterly earnings announcements in advance of their issuance with management and representatives of the independent public accountants. In its oversight role, the Audit Committee relies on the work and assurances of our management, which has the primary responsibility for financial statements and reports, including evaluating the effectiveness of

55


Table of Contents

disclosure controls and procedures, and evaluating the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, and of the independent public accountants, who, in their report, express an opinion on the conformity of our annual financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, as well as expressing an opinion on (i) management's assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and (ii) the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting.

        In reliance on these reviews and discussions, and the report of the independent public accountants, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board, and the Board approved, that the audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017, for filing with the SEC.

ARTICLE 5.

PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO AWARDS INTENDED TO QUALIFY AS PERFORMANCE-BASED COMPENSATION

        5.1.    Purpose.    The Committee, in its sole discretion, may determine whether any Award is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation. If the Committee, in its sole discretion, decides to grant an Award to an Eligible Individual that is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, then the provisions of this Article 5 shall control over any contrary provision contained in the Plan. The Administrator may in its sole discretion grant Awards to Eligible Individuals that are based on Performance Criteria or Performance Goals but that do not satisfy the requirements of this Article 5 and that are not intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation. Unless otherwise specified by the Administrator at the time of grant, the Performance Criteria with respect to an Award intended to be Performance-Based Compensation payable to a Covered Employee shall be determined on the basis of Applicable Accounting Standards.

        5.2.    Applicability.    The grant of an Award to an Eligible Individual for a particular Performance Period shall not require the grant of an Award to such Eligible Individual in any subsequent Performance Period and the grant of an Award to any one Eligible Individual shall not require the grant of an Award to any other Eligible Individual in such period or in any other period.

        5.3.    Procedures with Respect to Performance-Based Awards.    To the extent necessary to comply with the requirements of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, with respect to any Award which is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, no later than ninety (90) days following the commencement of any Performance Period or any designated fiscal period or period of service (or such earlier time as may be required under Section 162(m) of the Code), the Committee shall, in writing, (a) designate one or more Eligible Individuals, (b) select the Performance Criteria applicable to the Performance Period, (c) establish the Performance Goals and amounts of such Awards, as applicable, which may be earned for such Performance Period based on the Performance Criteria, and (d) specify the relationship between Performance Criteria and the Performance Goals and the amounts of such Awards, as applicable, to be earned by each Covered Employee for such Performance Period. Following the completion of each Performance Period, the Committee shall certify in writing whether and the extent to which the applicable Performance Goals have been achieved for such Performance Period.

        5.4.    Payment of Performance-Based Awards.    Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Program or Award Agreement (and only to the extent otherwise permitted by Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code), the holder of an Award that is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation must be employed by the Company or an Affiliate throughout the applicable Performance Period. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Performance Goals, Program or Award Agreement, a Participant shall be eligible to receive payment pursuant to such Awards for a Performance Period only if and to the extent the Committee determines that the applicable Performance Goals for such period have been achieved.

        5.5.    Additional Limitations.    Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan and except as otherwise determined by the Administrator, any Award which is granted to an Eligible Individual and is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation shall be subject to any additional limitations imposed under Section 162(m) of the Code that are requirements for qualification as Performance-Based Compensation, and the Plan, the Program and the Award Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such requirements.

ARTICLE 6.

GRANTING OF OPTIONS

        6.1.    Granting of Options to Eligible Individuals.    The Administrator is authorized to grant Options to Eligible Individuals from time to time, in its sole discretion, on such terms and conditions as it may determine which shall not be inconsistent with the Plan.

        6.2.    Qualification of Incentive Stock Options.    No Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to any person who is not an Employee of the Company or any "parent corporation" or "subsidiary corporation" of the Company (as defined in Sections 424(e) and 424(f) of the Code, respectively). No person who qualifies as a Greater Than 10% Stockholder may be granted an Incentive Stock Option unless such Incentive Stock Option conforms to the applicable provisions of Section 422 of the Code. Any Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan may be modified by the Administrator, with the consent of the Participant, to disqualify such Option from treatment as an "incentive stock option" under Section 422 of the Code. To the extent that the aggregate fair market value of stock with respect to which "incentive stock options" (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, but without regard to Section 422(d) of the Code) are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year under the Plan and all other plans of the Company and any Affiliate corporation thereof exceeds $100,000, the Options shall be treated as Non-Qualified Stock Options to the extent required by Section 422 of the Code. The rule set forth in the preceding sentence shall be applied by taking Options and other "incentive stock options" into account in the order in which they were granted and the Fair Market Value of stock shall be determined as of the time the respective options were granted. In addition, to the extent that any Options otherwise fail to qualify as Incentive Stock Options, such Options shall be treated as Nonqualified Stock Options. Neither the Company nor the Administrator shall have any liability to a Holder, or any other Person, (a) if an Option (or any part thereof) which is intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option fails to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option or (b) for any action or omission by the Company or the Administrator that causes an Option not to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option, including without limitation, the conversion of an Incentive Stock Option to a Non-Qualified Stock Option or the grant of an Option intended as an Incentive Stock Option that fails to satisfy the requirements under the Code applicable to an Incentive Stock Option.

        6.3.    Option Exercise Price.    Except as provided in Section 6.6 hereof, the exercise price per Share subject to each Option shall be set by the Administrator, but shall not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the Option is granted (or on the date the Option is modified, extended or renewed for purposes of Sections 424(h) or 409A of the Code, as applicable). In addition, in the case of Incentive Stock Options granted to a Greater Than 10% Stockholder, such price shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date the Option is granted (or the date the Option is modified, extended or renewed for purposes of Sections 424(h) or 409A of the Code, as applicable).

        6.4.    Option Term.    The term of each Option shall be set by the Administrator in its sole discretion; provided, however, that the term shall not be more than ten (10) years from the date the Option is granted, or five (5) years from the date an Incentive Stock Option is granted to a Greater Than 10% Stockholder. The Administrator shall determine the time period, including the time period following a Termination of Service, during which the Participant has the right to exercise the vested Options, which time period may not extend beyond the stated term of the Option. Except as limited by the requirements of Section 409A or Section 422 of the Code, the Administrator may extend the term of any outstanding Option, and may extend the time period during which vested Options may be exercised, in connection with any Termination of Service of the Participant, and, subject to Section 13.1 hereof, may amend any other term or condition of such Option relating to such a Termination of Service.

        6.7.    Substitution of Stock Appreciation Rights.    The Administrator may provide in an applicable Program or the applicable Award Agreement evidencing the grant of an Option that the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to substitute a Stock Appreciation Right for such Option at any time prior to or upon exercise of such Option; provided, however, that such Stock Appreciation Right shall be exercisable with respect to the same number of Shares for which such substituted Option would have been exercisable, and shall also have the same exercise price and remaining term as the substituted Option.


ARTICLE 7.

EXERCISE OF OPTIONS

        7.1.    Partial Exercise.    An exercisable Option may be exercised in whole or in part.

Restricted Stock may not be sold or encumbered until all restrictions are terminated or expire.

        8.4.    Repurchase or Forfeiture of Restricted Stock.    If no price was paid by the Participant for the Restricted Stock, upon a Termination of Service, the Participant's rights in unvested Restricted Stock then subject to restrictions shall lapse, and such Restricted Stock shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled without consideration. If a price was paid by the Participant for the Restricted Stock, upon a Termination of Service, the Company shall have the right to repurchase from the Participant the unvested

Restricted Stock then-subject to restrictions at a cash price per share equal to the price paid by the Participant for such Restricted Stock or such other amount as may be specified in an applicable Program or the applicable Award Agreement. The Administrator in its sole discretion may provide that, upon certain events, including without limitation a Change in Control, the Participant's death, retirement or disability, any other specified Termination of Service or any other event, the Participant's rights in unvested Restricted Stock shall not lapse, such Restricted Stock shall vest and cease to be forfeitable and, if applicable, the Company cease to have a right of repurchase.

Certificates or book entries evidencing shares of Restricted Stock must include an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions and restrictions applicable to such Restricted Stock, and the Company may, in its sole discretion, retain physical possession of any stock certificate until such time as all applicable restrictions lapse.

        8.6.    Section 83(b) Election.    If a Participant makes an election under Section 83(b) of the Code to be taxed with respect to the Restricted Stock as of the date of transfer of the Restricted Stock rather than as of the date or dates upon which the Participant would otherwise be taxable under Section 83(a) of the Code, the Participant shall be required to deliver a copy of such election to the Company promptly after filing such election with the Internal Revenue Service.

The Company and its Subsidiaries may hold certain personal information about a Holder, including but not limited to, the Holder's name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security or insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title(s), any shares of stock held in the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, details of all Awards, in each case, for the purpose of implementing, managing and administering the Plan and Awards (the "Data").

These recipients may be located in the Holder's country, or elsewhere, and the Holder's country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the recipients' country.

A Holder may, at any time, view the Data held by the Company with respect to such Holder, request additional information about the storage and processing of the Data with respect to such Holder, recommend any necessary corrections to the Data with respect to the Holder or refuse or withdraw the consents herein in writing, in any case without cost, by contacting his or her local human resources representative. The Company may cancel Holder's ability to participate in the Plan and, in the Administrator's discretion, the Holder may forfeit any outstanding Awards if the Holder refuses or withdraws his or her consents as described herein. For more information on the consequences of refusal to consent or withdrawal of consent, Holders may contact their local human resources representative.

        12.2.    Duties and Powers of Administrator.    It shall be the duty of the Administrator to conduct the general administration of the Plan in accordance with its provisions. The Administrator shall have the power to interpret the Plan and all Programs and Award Agreements, and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan and any Program as are not inconsistent with the Plan, to interpret, amend or revoke any such rules and to amend any Program or Award Agreement provided that the rights or obligations of the holder of the Award that is the subject of any such Program or Award Agreement are not affected adversely by such amendment, unless the consent of the Participant is obtained or such amendment is otherwise permitted under Section 13.10 hereof. Any such grant or award under the Plan need not be the same with respect to each Participant. Any such interpretations and rules with respect to Incentive Stock Options shall be consistent with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code. In its sole discretion, the Board may at any time and from time to time exercise any and all rights and duties of the Committee under the Plan except with respect to matters which under Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, Section 162(m) of the Code or the rules of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Shares are listed, quoted or traded are required to be determined in the sole discretion of the Committee.

        12.6.    Delegation of Authority.    To the extent permitted by applicable law or the rules of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Shares are listed, quoted or traded, the Board or Committee may from time to time delegate to a committee of one or more members of the Board or one or more officers of the Company the authority to grant or amend Awards or to take other administrative actions pursuant to this Article 12; provided, however, that in no event shall an officer of the Company be delegated the authority to grant awards to, or amend awards held by, the following individuals: (a) individuals who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, (b) Covered Employees with respect to Awards intended to constitute Performance-Based Compensation or (c) officers of the Company (or Directors) to whom authority to grant or amend Awards has been delegated hereunder; provided further, that any delegation of administrative authority shall only be permitted to the extent it is permissible under Section 162(m) of the Code and applicable securities laws or the rules of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Shares are listed, quoted or traded. Any delegation hereunder shall be subject to the restrictions and limits that the Board or Committee specifies at the time of such delegation, and the Board or Committee, as applicable, may at any time rescind the authority so delegated or appoint a new delegatee.


ARTICLE 13.

        13.1.    Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan.    Except as otherwise provided in this Section 13.1, the Plan may be wholly or partially amended or otherwise modified, suspended or terminated at any time or from time to time by the Board. However, without approval of the Company's stockholders given within twelve (12) months before or after the action by the Administrator, no action of the Administrator may, except as provided in Section 13.2 hereof, (a) increase the Share Limit or increase the Individual Award Limits, (b) reduce the price per share of any outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan or (c) cancel any Option or Stock Appreciation Right in exchange for cash or another Award when the Option or Stock Appreciation Right price per share exceeds the Fair Market Value of the underlying Shares. Except as provided in Section 13.10 hereof, no amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall, without the consent of the Participant, impair any rights or obligations under any Award theretofore granted or awarded, unless the Award itself otherwise expressly so provides. No Awards may be granted or awarded during any period of suspension or after termination of the Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Incentive Stock Option shall be granted under the Plan after the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date.

        13.3.    Approval of Plan by Stockholders.    The Plan will be submitted for the approval of the Company's stockholders within twelve (12) months after the date of the Board's initial adoption of the Plan. If the Plan is not approved by stockholders within twelve (12) months after its adoption by the Board, then the Original Plan shall continue on its existing terms and conditions and the Plan shall be of no force or effect.

        13.4.    No Stockholders Rights.    Except as otherwise provided herein or in an Award Agreement, a Participant shall have none of the rights of a stockholder with respect to shares of Common Stock covered by any Award until the Participant becomes the record owner of such shares of Common Stock.

        13.5.    Paperless Administration.    In the event that the Company establishes, for itself or using the services of a third party, an automated system for the documentation, granting or exercise of Awards, such as a system using an internet website or interactive voice response, then the paperless documentation, granting or exercise of Awards by a Participant may be permitted through the use of such an automated system.

        13.6.    Effect of Plan upon Other Compensation Plans.    The adoption of the Plan shall not affect any other compensation or incentive plans in effect for the Company or any Affiliate. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed to limit the right of the Company or any Affiliate: (a) to establish any other forms of incentives or compensation for Employees, Directors or Consultants of the Company or any Affiliate, or (b) to grant or assume options or other rights or awards otherwise than under the Plan in connection with any proper corporate purpose including without limitation, the grant or assumption of options in connection with the acquisition by purchase, lease, merger, consolidation or otherwise, of the business, stock or assets of any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, firm or association.

        13.7.    Compliance with Laws.    The Plan, the granting and vesting of Awards under the Plan and the issuance and delivery of Shares and the payment of money under the Plan or under Awards granted or awarded hereunder are subject to compliance with all applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules and regulations (including but not limited to state, federal and foreign securities law and margin requirements), the rules of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Shares are listed, quoted or traded, and to such approvals by any listing, regulatory or governmental authority as may,

in the opinion of counsel for the Company, be necessary or advisable in connection therewith. Any securities delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such restrictions, and the person acquiring such securities shall, if requested by the Company, provide such assurances and representations to the Company as the Company may deem necessary or desirable to assure compliance with all applicable legal requirements. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Plan and Awards granted or awarded hereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.

        13.8.    Titles and Headings, References to Sections of the Code or Exchange Act.    The titles and headings of the sections in the Plan are for convenience of reference only and, in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control. References to sections of the Code or the Exchange Act shall include any amendment or successor thereto.

        13.9.    Governing Law.    The Plan and any agreements hereunder shall be administered, interpreted and enforced under the internal laws of the State of Delaware without regard to conflicts of laws thereof.

        13.10.    Section 409A.    To the extent that the Administrator determines that any Award granted under the Plan is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Plan, any applicable Program and the Award Agreement covering such Award shall be interpreted in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. In that regard, to the extent any Award under the Plan or any other compensatory plan or arrangement of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is subject to Section 409A, and such Award or other amount is payable on account of a Participant's Termination of Service (or any similarly defined term), then (a) such Award or amount shall only be paid to the extent such Termination of Service qualifies as a "separation from service" as defined in Section 409A, and (b) if such Award or amount is payable to a "specified employee" as defined in Section 409A then to the extent required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Section 409A, such Award or other compensatory payment shall not be payable prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six-month period measured from the date of the Participant's Termination of Service, or (ii) the date of the Participant's death. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, in the event that, following the Effective Date, the Administrator determines that any Award may be subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Administrator may adopt such amendments to the Plan, any applicable Program and the Award Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, that the Administrator determines are necessary or appropriate to avoid the imposition of taxes on the Award under Section 409A of the Code, either through compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code or with an available exemption therefrom. The Company makes no representations or warranties as to the tax treatment of any Award under Section 409A or otherwise. The Company shall have no obligation under this Section 13.10 or otherwise to take any action (whether or not described herein) to avoid the imposition of taxes, penalties or interest under Section 409A with respect to any Award and shall have no liability to any Holder or any other person if any Award, compensation or other benefits under the Plan are determined to constitute non-compliant, "nonqualified deferred compensation" subject to the imposition of taxes, penalties and/or interest under Section 409A.

        13.11.    No Rights to Awards.    No Eligible Individual or other person shall have any claim to be granted any Award pursuant to the Plan, and neither the Company nor the Administrator is obligated to treat Eligible Individuals, Participants or any other persons uniformly.

        13.12.    Unfunded Status of Awards.    The Plan is intended to be an "unfunded" plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Program or Award Agreement shall give the Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company or any Affiliate.

        13.13.    Indemnification.    To the extent allowable pursuant to applicable law, each member of the Board and any officer or other employee to whom authority to administer any component of the Plan is delegated shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from any loss, cost, liability or expense

that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such member in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she may be involved by reason of any action or failure to act pursuant to the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by him or her in satisfaction of judgment in such action, suit or proceeding against him or her; provided, however, that he or she gives the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled pursuant to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless.

        13.14.    Relationship to other Benefits.    No payment pursuant to the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any benefits under any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or other benefit plan of the Company or any Affiliate except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in writing in such other plan or an agreement thereunder.

        13.15.    Expenses.    The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company and its Affiliates.

        13.16.    Arbitration.    With the exception of any claims for workers compensation, unemployment insurance, claims before any governmental administrative agencies as required by applicable law, or claims related to the National Labor Relations Act, any controversy relating to this Plan shall be settled via binding arbitration according to the applicable employment dispute resolution rules of the American Arbitration Association's Employment Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures (available at http://www.adr.org). Such arbitration shall be presided over by a single arbitrator in California. Such binding arbitration is applicable to any and all claims under state and federal employment related statutes including without limitation the Fair Employment and Housing Act, the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, as well as any claims related to a claimed right under this Plan. The Company shall bear all costs uniquely associated with the arbitration process, including the arbitrator's fees, if required by applicable law. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award any damages authorized by law. The prevailing party shall be entitled to his/its attorneys' fees, unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law. This requirement to arbitrate shall apply to both the Company and Employee. The parties understand that they are giving up their right to a trial in a court of law.
