Item 8.01. Other Events

Executive Compensation

The Compensation Committee of Lam Research Corporation (the “Company”) made a number of changes to the Company’s executive compensation program for awards made in calendar year 2014. The Company:

 

•

replaced the cash component of its long-term incentive program (“LTIP”) entirely with equity;

 

•

introduced the use of a new LTIP equity vehicle, a Market-Based Performance Restricted Stock Unit, that:

 

•

incorporates a relative market-based LTIP metric different from the absolute operational performance metrics used for the Company’s annual incentive program, which compares the Company’s stock price performance during the performance period to the market price performance of the Philadelphia Semiconductor Sector Index (SOX) and

 

•

is subject to no floor and a 150% of target units as a vesting ceiling; and

 

•

extended the LTIP performance period from two to three years, and

 

•

as a result of this change, made a one-time two-year LTIP award to ensure that participants are still eligible to receive a long-term award that vests in calendar year 2016.

Gain on Sale of Assets

On June 4, 2014, the sale of certain interests in real estate in the San Francisco Bay Area was completed, resulting in $135 million in net proceeds and a gain of $83 million from the transaction. This transaction will be reflected in the GAAP financial results for the June 2014 quarter.
