Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
     On October 19, 2010, Manhattan Associates, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release providing the results for its financial performance for the third quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2010. A copy of this press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1. Pursuant to General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, this exhibit is “furnished” and not “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
      Non-GAAP Financial Measures in the Press Release
     The press release includes, as additional information regarding our operating results, our adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share, which excludes the impact of acquisition-related costs and the amortization thereof, the recapture of previously recognized transaction tax expense, stock option expense, and restructuring charges — all net of income tax effects and unusual tax adjustments. These various measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be used as a substitute for, or considered superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
      Adjusted Income and Earnings Per Share
     We believe that these adjusted (non-GAAP) results provide more meaningful information regarding those aspects of our current operating performance that can be effectively managed, and consequently have developed our internal reporting, compensation and planning systems using these measures. Non-GAAP measures used in the press release exclude the impact of acquisition-related costs, transaction tax expense recapture, stock option expense, restructuring charges, and unusual tax adjustments for the following reasons:
    Because we sporadically engage in acquisitions, we incur acquisition-related costs that consist primarily of expenses from accounting and legal due diligence, whether or not we ultimately proceed with the transaction. Additionally, we might assume and incur certain unusual costs, such as employee retention benefits, that result from arrangements made prior to the acquisition. These acquisition costs are difficult to predict and do not correlate to the expenses of our core operations. We believe our competitors typically present as a non-GAAP measure adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share that exclude the amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, and thus we exclude these amortization costs when calculating adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share to facilitate more relevant and meaningful comparisons of our operating results with that of our competitors.
 
    Because we have recognized the full potential amount of the transaction (sales) tax expense in prior periods, any recovery of that expense resulting from the expiration of the state sales tax statutes, the collection of the taxes from our customers or a sales tax audit refund would overstate the current period net income derived from our core operations as the recovery is not a result of anything occurring within our control during the current period.
 
    Because stock option expense is determined in significant part by the trading price of our common stock and the volatility thereof, over which we have no direct control, the

1


 

      impact of such expense is not subject to effective management by us. We believe excluding the impact of stock option expense in adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share is consistent with similar practice by our competitors and other companies within our industry.
 
    We do not believe that the restructuring charge incurred in 2009 related to our reductions in force, or future restructuring charges related to staff reductions, are common costs that result from normal operating activities; rather, we believe these staff rationalizations relate to the extremely depressed economic conditions that have pervaded global markets since 2008. Thus, we have not included these restructuring charges in the assessment of our operating performance.
 
    As discussed above, we excluded stock option expense from adjusted non-GAAP results because it is determined in significant part by the trading price of our common stock and the volatility thereof, over which we have no direct control. Therefore, we also excluded the related tax benefit generated upon their disposition.
     For these reasons, we have developed our internal reporting, compensation and planning systems using non-GAAP measures which adjust for these amounts.
     We believe the reporting of adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share facilitates investors’ understanding of our historical operating trends, because it provides important supplemental measurement information in evaluating the operating results of our business, as distinct from results that include items that are not indicative of ongoing operating results, and thus provide the investors with useful insight into our profitability exclusive of unusual adjustments. While these adjusted items may not be considered as non-recurring in nature in a strictly accounting sense, management regards those items as infrequent and not arising out of the ordinary course of business and finds it useful to utilize a non-GAAP measure in evaluating the performance of our underlying core business.
     We also believe that adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share provide a basis for more relevant comparisons to other companies in the industry, enable investors to evaluate our operating performance in a manner consistent with our internal basis of measurement and also present our investors our operating results on the same basis as that used by our management. Management refers to adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share in making operating decisions because we believe they provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational performance and our ability to invest in research and development and fund acquisitions and capital expenditures. In addition, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share facilitate management’s internal comparisons to our historical operating results and comparisons to competitors’ operating results.
     Further, we rely on adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share information as primary measures to review and assess the operating performance of our company and our management team in connection with our executive compensation and bonus plans. Since most of our employees are not directly involved with decisions surrounding acquisitions or severance related activities and other items that are not central to our core operations, we do not believe it is appropriate or fair to have their incentive compensation affected by these items.

Exhibit 3.2
AMENDED BYLAWS
OF
MANHATTAN ASSOCIATES, INC.
(As Amended Effective October 13, 2010)
(Amended to establish a mandatory retirement age for directors)
     References in these Amended Bylaws of MANHATTAN ASSOCIATES, INC., a Georgia corporation (the “Corporation”) (these “Bylaws”) to “Articles of Incorporation” are to the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation as amended and restated from time to time.
     All of these Bylaws are subject to contrary provisions, if any, of the Articles of Incorporation (including provisions designating the preferences, limitations, and relative rights of any class or series of shares), the Georgia Business Corporation Code (the “Code”), and other applicable law, as in effect on and after the effective date of these Bylaws. References in these Bylaws to “Sections” shall refer to sections of the Bylaws, unless otherwise indicated.
ARTICLE ONE
OFFICE
      1.1 REGISTERED OFFICE AND AGENT. The Corporation shall maintain a registered office and shall have a registered agent whose business office is the same as the registered office.
      1.2 PRINCIPAL OFFICE. The principal office of the Corporation shall be at the place designated in the Corporation’s annual registration with the Georgia Secretary of State.
      1.3 OTHER OFFICES. In addition to its registered office and principal office, the Corporation may have offices at other locations either in or outside the State of Georgia.
ARTICLE TWO
SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETINGS
      2.1 PLACE OF MEETINGS. Meetings of the Corporation’s shareholders may be held at any location inside or outside the State of Georgia designated by the Board of Directors or any other person or persons who properly call the meeting, or if the Board of Directors or such other person or persons do not specify a location, at the Corporation’s principal office.
      2.2 ANNUAL MEETINGS. The Corporation shall hold an annual meeting of shareholders, at a time determined by the Board of Directors, to elect directors and to transact any business that properly may come before the meeting. The annual meeting may be combined with any other meeting of shareholders, whether annual or special.

-1-


 

      2.3 SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of shareholders of one or more classes or series of the Corporation’s shares may be called at any time by the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the President, and shall be called by the Corporation upon the written request (in compliance with applicable requirements of the Code) of the holders of shares representing not less than 35% or more of the votes entitled to be cast on each issue proposed to be considered at the special meeting. The business that may be transacted at any special meeting of shareholders shall be limited to that proposed in the notice of the special meeting given in accordance with Section 2.4 (including related or incidental matters that may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the proposed business).
      2.4 NOTICE OF MEETINGS. In accordance with Section 9.5 and subject to waiver by a shareholder pursuant to Section 2.5, the Corporation shall give written notice of the date, time, and place of each annual and special shareholders’ meeting no fewer than 10 days nor more than 60 days before the meeting date to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. The notice of an annual meeting need not state the purpose of the meeting unless these Bylaws require otherwise. The notice of a special meeting shall state the purpose for which the meeting is called. If an annual or special shareholders’ meeting is adjourned to a different date, time, or location, the Corporation shall give shareholders notice of the new date, time, or location of the adjourned meeting, unless a quorum of shareholders was present at the meeting and information regarding the adjournment was announced before the meeting was adjourned; provided, however, that if a new record date is or must be fixed in accordance with Section 7.6, the Corporation must give notice of the adjourned meeting to all shareholders of record as of the new record date who are entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting.
      2.5 WAIVER OF NOTICE. A shareholder may waive any notice required by the Code, the Articles of Incorporation, or these Bylaws, before or after the date and time of the matter to which the notice relates, by delivering to the Corporation a written waiver of notice signed by the shareholder entitled to the notice. In addition, a shareholder’s attendance at a meeting shall be (a) a waiver of objection to lack of notice or defective notice of the meeting unless the shareholder at the beginning of the meeting objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting, and (b) a waiver of objection to consideration of a particular matter at the meeting that is not within the purpose stated in the meeting notice, unless the shareholder objects to considering the matter when it is presented. Except as otherwise required by the Code, neither the purpose of nor the business transacted at the meeting need be specified in any waiver.
      2.6 VOTING GROUP; QUORUM; VOTE REQUIRED TO ACT. (a) Unless otherwise required by the Code or the Articles of Incorporation, all classes or series of the Corporation’s shares entitled to vote generally on a matter shall for that purpose be considered a single voting group (a “Voting Group”). If either the Articles of Incorporation or the Code requires separate voting by two or more Voting Groups on a matter, action on that matter is taken only when voted upon by each such Voting Group separately. At all meetings of shareholders, any Voting Group entitled to vote on a matter may take action on the matter only if a quorum of that Voting Group exists at the meeting, and if a quorum exists, the Voting Group may take action on the matter notwithstanding the absence of a quorum of any other Voting Group that may be entitled to vote separately on the matter. Unless the Articles of Incorporation, these Bylaws, or the Code provides otherwise, the presence (in person or by proxy) of shares

-2-


 

representing a majority of votes entitled to be cast on a matter by a Voting Group shall constitute a quorum of that Voting Group with regard to that matter. Once a share is present at any meeting other than solely to object to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting, the share shall be deemed present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournments of that meeting, unless a new record date for the adjourned meeting is or must be set pursuant to Section 7.6 of these Bylaws.
     (b) Except as provided in Section 3.4, if a quorum exists, action on a matter by a Voting Group is approved by that Voting Group if the votes cast within the Voting Group favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action, unless the Articles of Incorporation, a provision of these Bylaws that has been adopted pursuant to Section 14-2-1021 of the Code (or any successor provision), or the Code requires a greater number of affirmative votes.
      2.7 VOTING OF SHARES. Unless otherwise required by the Code or the Articles of Incorporation, each outstanding share of any class or series having voting rights shall be entitled to one vote on each matter that is submitted to a vote of shareholders.
      2.8 PROXIES. A shareholder entitled to vote on a matter may vote in person or by proxy pursuant to an appointment executed in writing by the shareholder or by his or her attorney-in-fact. An appointment of a proxy shall be valid for 11 months from the date of its execution, unless a longer or shorter period is expressly stated in the appointment form.
      2.9 PRESIDING OFFICIAL. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.9, the Chairman of the Board, and in his or her absence or disability the Chief Executive Officer, and in his or her absence or disability the President, shall preside at every shareholders’ meeting (and any adjournment thereof) as its chairman, if either of them is present and willing to serve. If neither the Chairman of the Board, nor the Chief Executive Officer nor the President is present and willing to serve as chairman of the meeting, and if the Chairman of the Board has not designated another person who is present and willing to serve, then a majority of the Corporation’s directors present at the meeting shall be entitled to designate a person to serve as chairman. If no director of the Corporation is present at the meeting or if a majority of the directors who are present cannot be established, then a chairman of the meeting shall be selected by a majority vote of (a) the shares present at the meeting that would be entitled to vote in an election of directors, or (b) if no such shares are present at the meeting, then the shares present at the meeting comprising the Voting Group with the largest number of shares present at the meeting and entitled to vote on a matter properly proposed to be considered at the meeting. The chairman of the meeting may designate other persons to assist with the meeting.
      2.10 ADJOURNMENTS. At any meeting of shareholders (including an adjourned meeting), a majority of shares of any Voting Group present and entitled to vote at the meeting (whether or not those shares constitute a quorum) may adjourn the meeting, but only with respect to that Voting Group, to reconvene at a specific time and place. If more than one Voting Group is present and entitled to vote on a matter at the meeting, then the meeting may be continued with respect to any such Voting Group that does not vote to adjourn as provided above, and such Voting Group may proceed to vote on any matter to which it is otherwise entitled to do so; provided, however, that if (a) more than one Voting Group is required to take action on a matter

-3-


 

at the meeting and (b) any one of those Voting Groups votes to adjourn the meeting (in accordance with the preceding sentence), then the action shall not be deemed to have been taken until the requisite vote of any adjourned Voting Group is obtained at its reconvened meeting. The only business that may be transacted at any reconvened meeting is business that could have been transacted at the meeting that was adjourned, unless further notice of the adjourned meeting has been given in compliance with the requirements for a special meeting that specifies the additional purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Nothing contained in this Section 2.10 shall be deemed or otherwise construed to limit any lawful authority of the chairman of a meeting to adjourn the meeting.
      2.11 CONDUCT OF THE MEETING. At any meeting of shareholders, the chairman of the meeting shall be entitled to establish the rules of order governing the conduct of business at the meeting.
      2.12 INSPECTORS OF ELECTION. The Corporation shall appoint one or more persons, each of whom may be an officer or employee of the Corporation, to act as an inspector at each meeting of shareholders. At each such meeting of shareholders, the inspector shall be responsible for (i) ascertaining the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each; (ii) determining the shares represents at such meeting; (iii) determining the validity of proxies and ballots; (iv) counting all votes; (v) determining the result of all votes; and (vi) making a written report of his or her determinations. In addition, such inspector shall take and sign an oath to execute faithfully his or her duties with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability.
      2.13 ACTION OF SHAREHOLDERS WITHOUT A MEETING. Action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting if the action is taken by all shareholders entitled to vote on the action or, if permitted by the Articles of Incorporation, by persons who would be entitled to vote at a meeting shares having voting power to cast the requisite number of votes (or numbers, in the case of voting by groups) that would be necessary to authorize or take the action at a meeting at which all shareholders entitled to vote were present and voted. The action must be evidenced by one or more written consents describing the action taken, signed by shareholders entitled to take action without a meeting, and delivered to the Corporation for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records. Such consents shall be executed by shareholders sufficient to act by written consent and received by the Corporation within sixty days of the date upon which such consent is dated. Where required by Section 14-2-704 or other applicable provision of the Code, the Corporation shall provide shareholders with written notice of actions taken without a meeting.
      2.14 MATTERS CONSIDERED AT ANNUAL MEETINGS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Bylaws, the only business that may be conducted at an annual meeting of shareholders shall be business brought before the meeting (a) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors prior to the meeting, (b) by or at the direction of the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the President, or (c) by a shareholder of the Corporation who is entitled to vote with respect to the business and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.14. For business to be brought properly before an annual meeting by a shareholder, the shareholder must have given timely notice of the business in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a shareholder’s notice must be delivered or mailed to

-4-


 

and received at the principal offices of the Corporation, not less than 60 days before the date of the meeting at which the director(s) are to be elected or the proposal is to be considered; however, if less than 70 days notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the scheduled meeting is given or made, notice by the shareholder, to be timely, must be delivered or received not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the earlier of the day on which notice of the date of the meeting is mailed to shareholders or public disclosure of the date of such meeting is made. A shareholder’s notice to the Secretary shall set forth a brief description of each matter of business the shareholder proposes to bring before the meeting and the reasons for conducting that business at the meeting; the name, as it appears on the Corporation’s books, and address of the shareholder proposing the business; the series or class and number of shares of the Corporation’s capital stock that are beneficially owned by the shareholder; and any material interest of the shareholder in the proposed business. The chairman of the meeting shall have the discretion to declare to the meeting that any business proposed by a shareholder to be considered at the meeting is out of order and that such business shall not be transacted at the meeting if (i) the chairman concludes that the matter has been proposed in a manner inconsistent with this Section 2.14 or (ii) the chairman concludes that the subject matter of the proposed business is inappropriate for consideration by the shareholders at the meeting.
ARTICLE THREE
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
      3.1 GENERAL POWERS. All corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the authority of, and the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by, the Board of Directors, subject to any limitation set forth in the Articles of Incorporation, in bylaws approved by the shareholders, or in agreements among all the shareholders that are otherwise lawful.
      3.2 NUMBER, ELECTION AND TERM OF OFFICE. The number of directors of the Corporation shall be fixed by resolution of the Board of Directors or of the shareholders from time to time and, until otherwise determined, shall be two; provided, however, that no decrease in the number of directors shall have the effect of shortening the term of an incumbent director. Except as provided in the Articles of Incorporation, elsewhere in this Section 3.2 and in Section 3.4, the directors shall be elected at each annual meeting of shareholders, or at a special meeting of shareholders called for purposes that include the election of directors, by a plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote and present at the meeting. Despite the expiration of a director’s term, he or she shall continue to serve until his or her successor, if there is to be any, has been elected and has qualified.
      3.3 REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS. The entire Board of Directors or any individual director may be removed, with or without cause, by the shareholders, provided that Directors elected by a particular Voting Group may be removed only by the shareholders in that Voting Group. Removal action may be taken only at a shareholder’s meeting for which notice of the removal action has been given. A removed director’s successor, if any, may be elected at the same meeting to serve the unexpired term.
      3.4 VACANCIES. A vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors may be filled for the unexpired term, unless the shareholders have elected a successor, by the affirmative vote of a

-5-


 

majority of the remaining directors, whether or not the remaining directors constitute a quorum; provided, however, that if the vacant office was held by a director elected by a particular Voting Group, only the holders of shares of that Voting Group or the remaining directors elected by that Voting Group shall be entitled to fill the vacancy; provided further, however, that if the vacant office was held by a director elected by a particular Voting Group and there is no remaining director elected by that Voting Group, the other remaining directors or director (elected by another Voting Group or Groups) may fill the vacancy during an interim period before the shareholders of the vacated director’s Voting Group act to fill the vacancy. A vacancy or vacancies in the Board of Directors may result from the death, resignation, disqualification, or removal of any director, or from an increase in the number of directors.
      3.5 COMPENSATION. Directors may receive such compensation for their services as directors as may be fixed by the Board of Directors from time to time. A director may also serve the Corporation in one or more capacities other than that of director and receive compensation for services rendered in those other capacities.
      3.6 COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. The Board of Directors may designate from among its members an executive committee or one or more other standing or ad hoc committees, each consisting of one or more directors, who serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. Subject to the limitations imposed by the Code, each committee shall (i) have the authority set forth in the resolution establishing the committee or in any other resolution of the Board of Directors specifying, enlarging, or limiting the authority of the committee and (ii) conduct itself in accordance with the mechanical requirements of this Article Three.
      3.7 QUALIFICATION OF DIRECTORS.

GAAP VERSUS NON-GAAP PRESENTATION
The Company provides adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share in this press release as additional information regarding the Company’s operating results. These measures are not in accordance with — or an alternative for — GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share measures used by other companies. The Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures facilitates investors’ understanding of its historical operating trends, because it provides important supplemental measurement information in evaluating the operating results of its business, as distinct from results that include items that are not indicative of ongoing operating results. The Company consequently believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures provides investors with useful insight into its profitability. This release should be read in conjunction with its Form 8-K earnings release filing for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.
The non-GAAP adjusted operating income, adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share measures exclude the impact of acquisition-related costs and the amortization thereof, the recapture of previously recognized sales tax expense, stock option expense, and restructuring charges — all net of income tax effects and unusual tax adjustments. A reconciliation of the Company’s GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP adjustments is included in the supplemental information attached to this release.

(a)   Because stock option expense is determined in significant part by the trading price of our common stock and the volatility thereof, over which we have no direct control, the impact of such expense is not subject to effective management by us. Thus, we have excluded the impact of this expense from adjusted non-GAAP results. The stock option expense is included in the following GAAP operating expense lines for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009:
                                 
    Three Months Ended September 30,     Nine Months Ended September 30,  
    2010     2009     2010     2009  
 
Cost of services
  $ 122     $ 155     $ 390     $ 476  
Research and development
    137       208       459       679  
Sales and marketing
    282       389       898       794  
General and administrative
    312       617       1,185       1,830  
 
                       
Total stock option expense
  $ 853     $ 1,369     $ 2,932     $ 3,779  
 
                       
 
(b)   Adjustments represent purchased intangibles amortization from prior acquisitions. Such amortization is commonly excluded from GAAP net income by companies in our industry and we therefore exclude these amortization costs to provide more relevant and meaningful comparisons of our operating results to that of our competitors.
 
(c)   During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, we committed to and initiated plans to reduce our workforce by approximately 140 positions to realign our capacity based on the revised revenue outlook for 2009. As a result of this initiative, we recorded a restructuring charge of approximately $3.8 million in the second quarter of 2009. The restructuring charge primarily consisted of employee severance and outplacement services. We also recorded additional employee severance expense of $63,000 in the first quarter of 2009 related to the restructuring action taken in the fourth quarter of 2008. We do not believe that the restructuring charge is a common cost that resulted from normal operating activities. Consequently, we have excluded this charge from adjusted non-GAAP results.
 
(d)   Adjustment represents recoveries of previously recorded state sales tax resulting primarily from the expiration of the sales tax audit statutes in certain states. Because we have recognized the full potential amount of the sales tax expense in prior periods, any recovery of that expense resulting from the expiration of the statutes or the collection of tax from our customers would overstate the current period net income derived from our core operations as the recovery is not a result of any event occurring within our control during the current period. Thus, we have excluded these recoveries from adjusted non-GAAP results.
 
(e)   For the quarter ended September 30, 2010, the adjustment represents tax benefit from the disqualifying dispositions of incentive stock options that were previously expensed. As discussed above, we excluded stock option expense from adjusted non-GAAP results because it is determined in significant part by the trading price of our common stock and the volatility thereof, over which we have no direct control. Therefore, we also excluded the related tax benefit generated upon their disposition. For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the majority of the adjustment represents release of income tax reserves resulting from expiration of tax audit statutes for U.S. federal income tax returns filed for 2005 and prior. Because we recorded the majority of the income tax reserves through retained earnings in conjunction with the adoption of ASC 740, Income Taxes, on January 1, 2007, the release of the reserves would overstate the current period net income derived from our core operations. For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the reversal is partially offset by the establishment of $0.8 million in tax reserves associated with the treatment of currency gains under the Company’s transfer pricing policy with one of its foreign subsidiaries. We do not include this tax in our assessment of our operating performance as it does not relate to our core operations. Thus, we have excluded these tax adjustments from adjusted non-GAAP results.

(a)     Provision to return adjustments primarily include the true-up of the 2009 tax provision to the 2009 tax return filed in the third quarter of 2010.
 
(b)     Adjustments include the establishment of income tax reserves for state audits, partially offset by the release of U.S. federal income tax reserves that were previously expensed. The release resulted from the expiration of tax audit statues for tax returns filed for 2006 and prior.
 
(c)   The adjustment represents a tax benefit from disqualifying dispositions of incentive stock options that were previously expensed.
10.   For software company comparisons, we are providing a historical breakout of our restricted stock expense below. Research of U.S. publicly traded enterprise software companies’ disclosed operating results indicates the cost of restricted stock is typically excluded from Non-GAAP operating results. We currently include the cost of restricted stock in both our GAAP results and our Non-GAAP adjusted results. The cost of stock options is included in our GAAP results but is excluded from our Non-GAAP adjusted results (for stock option expense — see our Reconciliation of Selected GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures schedule). The impact of restricted stock expense on our GAAP and Adjusted Results is as follows (in thousands except per share amounts):

    In January of 2010, our Compensation Committee approved a change in Manhattan’s equity compensation grant strategy, with the objective to optimize our performance and retention strength while managing program share usage to improve long-term equity overhang. The new program eliminated stock option awards in favor of 100% restricted stock grants, of which 50% are service-based and 50% are performance-based for Plan participants.
