Item 5.03     Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year

On November 16, 2017, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “ Certificate of Amendment ”) with the Secretary of State of Delaware to effect a 1-for-4 reverse stock split of the shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “ Common Stock ”), either issued and outstanding or held by the Company as treasury stock, effective as of 5:00 p.m. (Delaware time) on November 20, 2017 (the “ Reverse Stock Split ”). As previously reported, the Company held an annual meeting of stockholders on June 21, 2017, at which meeting the Company’s stockholders, by an affirmative vote of the majority of the Company’s outstanding shares of capital stock, approved the amendment to the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “ Certificate of Incorporation ”) to effect a reverse split of the Common Stock at a ratio determined by the Company’s Board within a range of not less than one-for-four shares (1:4) and not greater than one-for-twenty shares (1:20), with a corresponding reduction of the authorized number of shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock. The Board has determined to effect the Reverse Stock Split at a ratio of one-for-four shares (1:4), and approved the Certificate of Amendment.

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every four shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock will be automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of Common Stock, without any change in the par value per share. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Any fractional shares that would otherwise have resulted from the Reverse Stock Split will be paid in cash in a proportionate amount based on the closing price of the Common Stock as reported by The Nasdaq Global Market on the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split will reduce the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding from 83.4 million shares to approximately 20.9 million shares, subject to adjustment for the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares. The number of authorized shares under the Certificate of Incorporation will also be reduced: (i) Common Stock from 200 million shares to 50 million shares, and (ii) Preferred Stock from 20 million shares to 5 million shares.




In addition, proportionate adjustments will be made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock that may be purchased upon exercise of outstanding stock options and restricted stock granted by the Company, and the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for future issuance under the Company’s 2017 Stock Incentive Plan.

The Common Stock will begin trading on a reverse stock split-adjusted basis on The Nasdaq Global Market on November 21, 2017. The trading symbol for the Common Stock will remain “INAP.” The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split is 45885A 409.

The information set forth herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Certificate of Amendment, a copy of which is filed with this report as Exhibit 3.1.

Re:    Offer of Employment

Dear Joanna:

We are pleased to extend this offer to you to join Internap Corporation as our VP, Corporate Controller & Chief Accounting Officer beginning on Monday, January 8, 2017. In this position, you will report to me. You will be based in our Secaucus, New Jersey office, with an expectation that you will travel to Atlanta on a regular basis for at least your first year of employment. We are excited that you have chosen to become part of our highly motivated team and believe you will become a key player in INAP’s success.

You will receive a starting base salary of $7,692.31 ($200,000 on an annualized basis) per pay-period less payroll deductions and all required withholdings. You will also be subject to review through our performance evaluation process.

You will be eligible to participate in the INAP 2018 Short Term Incentive Plan (“Incentive Plan”). Any payments that may be made to you will be based on INAP’s achievement of goals approved by the Board of Directors. Your initial bonus opportunity under the Incentive Plan will be 35% of your 2018 actual earned base salary, subject to the terms of the Incentive Plan.

You will be eligible for an annual Equity Award equal to 100% of your base salary at the discretion of the Compensation Committee and based on performance. The Equity Award may be in the form or restricted stock or options and will be subject to a three-year vest; 50% of the grant will be subject to time, and 50% will be subject to performance as part of the Compensation Committee’s approve metrics which are to be determined.

All vesting is subject to you being an employee in good standing on each date of vesting.  All shares are governed by the language in our incentive stock plan (a copy of which will be mailed to you separately) as well as the actual grant documents which define the specific terms of your grant. You will be subject to INAP’s Insider Trading Policy. 

Should your employment with the Company be terminated due to reasons other than cause and provided that you satisfy the conditions of the Release Agreement, you will be eligible for three months of Severance Pay. In the event of a change of control of the Company and where no position is available, you will be eligible for six months of Severance Pay payable over the six-month period with normal payroll cycle.

You will be eligible to participate in the benefits we offer generally to our employees. A benefit summary is included in your new hire packet.

Although we hope that your relationship with INAP will be a long and productive one, we are not requiring a commitment from you for a particular length of time. Your employment with INAP will be “at will” meaning that you may choose to resign at any time for any reason, and INAP may choose to end your employment at any time for any reason. This offer should not be construed as creating a contract of employment for a

One Ravinia Drive | Suite 1300 | Atlanta, GA 30346 | www.inap.com



specific period of time and the at will nature of your employment can only be changed by a written employment agreement signed by you and INAP’s Chief Executive Officer.

INAP is required to verify the identity and employment authorization of all new hires. To comply with this legal obligation, we must complete an Employment Eligibility Verification Form I-9 within three days of your start date. Information about what you will need to bring to work with you to complete this form will be provided to you once you sign and return this offer letter. This offer is also contingent upon successful completion of a background check.


You must also sign the attached Employment Covenants Agreement and certify you have read and agree to be bound by the INAP Code of Conduct included in your new hire packet.

Joanna , again, we look forward to working with you as part of the INAP team. Please sign and date this letter, and return it to the Human Resources Department before your start date.


Sincerely,

17.      Attorneys’ Fees . In the event of litigation relating to this Agreement, the Company shall, if it is the prevailing party, be entitled to recover attorneys’ fees and costs of litigation in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity.
18.      Waiver . The Company’s failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not act as a waiver of that or any other provision. The Company’s waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall not act as a waiver of any other breach.
19.      Severability . The provisions of this Agreement are severable. If any provision is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, in whole or in part, then such provision shall be modified so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law. If such provision cannot be modified to be enforceable, the provision shall be severed from this Agreement to the extent unenforceable. The remaining provisions and any partially enforceable provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
20.      Governing Law . The laws of the State of New Jersey shall govern this Agreement. If New Jersey’s conflict of law rules would apply another state’s laws, the Parties agree that New Jersey law shall still govern.
21.      No Strict Construction . You agree that neither this Agreement nor any provision therein shall be read or interpreted more favorably for one party over another, and there shall be no presumption that ambiguities shall be interpreted against the drafter of this Agreement.
22.      Entire Agreement . This Agreement, including Exhibit A which is incorporated by reference, constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties concerning the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement supersedes any prior communications, agreements or understandings, whether oral or written, between the Parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.
