Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On June 13, 2015, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Symantec Corporation (the “Company”) approved the FY16 Senior Executive Annual Incentive Plans (the “Annual Incentive Plans”) for the Company’s named executive officers.

Under the terms of the Annual Incentive Plans, the named executive officers will be eligible to receive performance-based incentive bonuses based on the Company’s achievement of targeted non-GAAP revenue and non-GAAP operating income and for fiscal year 2016, as detailed below.

For our named executive officers, the target funding under the FY16 Executive Annual Incentive Plans are as follows: for Michael Brown, 150% of annual base salary at 100% achievement; for Francis Rosch, 100% of annual base salary at 100% achievement; for Thomas Seifert, 100% of annual base salary at 100% achievement; for Scott Taylor, 70% of annual base salary at 100% achievement; and for Balaji Yelamanchili, 125% of annual base salary at 100% achievement.

For the non-GAAP revenue and operating income metrics: (a) at the threshold achievement level of 90% of target, the funding level is 40%; (b) above the threshold achievement level, the funding level increases incrementally, up to a level of 100% at 100% achievement; (c) above the target achievement level, funding increases incrementally, up to a cap of a 200% funding based on achievement of 106.5% of target; and (d) there is zero funding if the achievement is below 90% of target.

The non-GAAP operating income and revenue metrics are tested and funded independently of each other and are weighted equally. With respect to the above metrics, the calculations will be made assuming that foreign currency is held constant at plan rates. The measurement period for all metrics is the fiscal year ending on April 1, 2016.

With the exception of Michael Brown, the individual payout amount will be determined based on an assessment of individual performance against a set of financial, non-financial, individual, and team-based goals and will be allocated from the bonus pool. The bonus payment amount for Michael Brown will be calculated based on the company’s financial metrics as described above.
