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

Item 5.02(e) Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On September 2, 2011, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) of Cornerstone OnDemand, Inc. (the “Company”) reviewed its executive compensation plan for fiscal year 2011 (the “2011 Plan”) and modified the title, base salaries and target incentive compensation for certain of the Company’s key employees, including the named executive officers shown in the tables below (the “NEOs”).

As previously disclosed, under the terms of the 2011 Plan, each of the NEOs will be entitled to receive a bonus that will vary in size depending on the Company’s success in meeting certain performance thresholds and targets with respect to the following three performance metrics: revenue, with a 50% weighting; unlevered free cash flow, with a 30% weighting; and non-GAAP net loss, with a 20% weighting. The amount payable with respect to each metric may be greater or less than the assigned weighting depending on the extent to which the Company’s performance exceeds or falls short of the applicable target. No bonus payout for a particular performance metric will be earned unless the performance threshold for that metric is met.

The target bonus amounts in the table below represent the amounts payable to the listed NEO if the Company meets its performance target with respect to each performance metric. To the extent that the Company’s achievement is greater or less than the specified targets, the bonus amounts payable to such NEO may be increased or decreased, respectively.

The following table shows the threshold, target, and maximum bonus amounts under the 2011 Plan for Mark Goldin, the Company’s Chief Technology Officer:

 

		Threshold Bonus Amount(1)				Target Bonus Amount(2)				Maximum Bonus Amount(3)
Named Executive Officer		($)		% of Base Salary		($)		% of Base Salary		($)		% of Base Salary
Mark Goldin		$11,250		4.5		$112,500		45		$168,750		67.5

 

(1)	Represents the bonus amount payable if the Company meets only its performance threshold for non-GAAP net loss, the metric with the lowest weighting. No bonus is payable if the Company fails to meet the performance threshold for at least one metric.

(2)	Represents the bonus amount payable if the Company achieves its full performance target with respect to each performance metric.

(3)	Represents the maximum bonus amount payable regardless of the extent to which the Company’s performance exceeds its performance targets.

Effective as of October 1, 2011, the Committee promoted David Carter, Kirsten Maas Helvey, and the NEO shown in the table below. David Carter, Vice President of Sales, was promoted to Senior Vice President of Sales and Kirsten Maas Helvey, Vice President of Consulting Services, was promoted to Senior Vice President of Consulting Services. In connection with such promotions and as part of the Company’s annual grant of long-term incentive awards, the Committee increased the salaries of, and granted equity awards to, such employees.

The following table shows the new title, salary and equity awards for Vincent Belliveau:

 

Title				Salary				Long-Term Incentive Awards
Previous		New		Previous		New		Option Grants(1)
General Manager of EMEA		Senior Vice President and General Manager of EMEA		€180,000		€195,000		150,000

 

(1)	Stock option to be granted effective as of October 1, 2011 pursuant to the Company’s 2010 Equity Incentive Plan. The stock option will vest over a four-year period and have an exercise price equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.
