Incentive-plan design — the Compensation Discussion & Analysis

The general philosophy of our executive compensation program is to: ● encourage creation of stockholder value and achievement of strategic corporate objectives by providing management with long-term incentives through equity ownership by management; ● provide a competitive total compensation package that enables us to attract and retain, on a long-term basis, high caliber personnel; ● provide a total compensation opportunity that is competitive with companies in our industry, taking into account relative company size, performance and geographic location, as well as individual responsibilities and performance; ● provide fair and internally consistent compensation; and ● address other relevant considerations such as rewarding extraordinary performance.

Peer group, and who names Egain as a peer

Companies that benchmark against EGAN

12 companies name EGAN as a compensation peer

Each company listed discloses EGAN in its own benchmarking peer group, as disclosed in each company's most recent proxy statement within the last two proxy seasons. Two companies are therefore absent by design: one that named EGAN in an earlier year and no longer does, and one whose own most recent disclosure is older than the last two seasons.

a. Approved under the standard stated in the filing — “Abstentions with respect to any proposal are treated as shares present or represented and entitled to vote on that proposal and thus have the same effect as votes "against." If a broker which is the record holder of shares indicates on a proxy that it does not have discretionary authority to vote on a particular proposal as to such shares, or if shares are not voted in other circumstances in which proxy authority is defective or has been withheld with respect to a particular proposal, these non-voted shares will be counted for quorum purposes and will have the same effect as votes "against," because approval requires an absolute percentage of affirmative votes.”.

Approved under the standard stated in the filing — “Abstentions with respect to any proposal are treated as shares present or represented and entitled to vote on that proposal and thus have the same effect as votes "against." If a broker which is the record holder of shares indicates on a proxy that it does not have discretionary authority to vote on a particular proposal as to such shares, or if shares are not voted in other circumstances in which proxy authority is defective or has been withheld with respect to a particular proposal, these non-voted shares will be counted for quorum purposes and will have the same effect as votes "against," because approval requires an absolute percentage of affirmative votes.”.
