On April 25, 2012, our Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Align Technology, Inc. 2005 Incentive Plan (the “Plan Amendment”). The Plan Amendment amends Section 17 of the 2005 Incentive Plan by deleting section 17(b), (c) and (d) of the Plan in its entirety so that, immediately following this amendment, the 2005 Incentive Plan will no longer provide for an automatic grant of 10,000 stock options and 3,000 restricted stock units to each outside member of Align’s Board of Directors on the date of each annual meeting of Align Technology, Inc.’s stockholders. The Compensation Committee may continue to grant to outside directors all types of awards under the 2005 Incentive Plan.
