Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Please see the response to Item 5.02)(e) below concerning the stock purchase agreement entered into between ZipRealty, Inc. (the “Company”) and Charles C. (Lanny) Baker, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

 

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

(e) On December 11, 2008, the Compensation Committee of the Company authorized, and the Company entered into, the following agreements with Charles C. (Lanny) Baker, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer: (i) a “stand-alone” nonstatutory stock option award agreement to purchase 325,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to $2.56 per share (which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant), with such option to vest as to 25% on the first anniversary of the date of employment and thereafter at the rate of 1/48 per month on the first of each month, provided Mr. Baker remains employed by or in a service relationship with the Company, and subject to the standard terms applicable to the Company’s option grants; (ii) a restricted stock award agreement for 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, with 6,250 of the shares to vest on each of June 4, 2009 and each six months thereafter until fully vested, provided Mr. Baker remains employed by or in a service relationship with the Company; and (iii) a stock purchase agreement for Mr. Baker to purchase from the Company 80,000 shares of the Company’s common stock held in treasury at a price of $2.56 per share. The foregoing summary is subject in its entirety to the provisions of the relevant agreements, copies of which are filed as exhibits to this report.

 

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

(a) On December 12, 2008, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware a Certificate of Correction to Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Correction”). The Certificate of Correction was filed to correct a scrivener’s error in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation filed in connection with the Company’s initial public offering on November 15, 2004 (the “Restated Certificate”). Specifically, the Restated Certificate erroneously omitted a provision that the Company had previously authorized, and that was included in its original certificate of incorporation, that protects each of the Company’s directors, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, from personal liability to the Company and its stockholders for monetary damages for a breach of fiduciary duty as a director. The Certificate of Correction reinstates this provision, which is permitted under Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law. Pursuant to Section 103(f) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the correction was effective as of November 15, 2004, except as to those persons who are substantially and adversely affected by the correction, and as to those persons the correction was effective as of December 12, 2008.
