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

On April 11, 2017, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Pendrell Corporation (the "Company") adopted the 2017 Incentive Plan (the "2017 Plan"), in which the Company’s executive officers are eligible to participate. The 2017 Plan is an incentive award plan designed to enhance shareholder value by promoting a strong connection between employee contributions and the Company’s financial performance, encourage and support achievement of the business objectives of the Company, and promote retention of Company employees. The 2017 Plan provides for cash and/or stock incentive awards, calculated as a percentage of base salary, based upon the achievement of specified Company financial targets and individual performance objectives.

The performance bonus target for Steve Ednie, our Chief Financial Officer, under the 2017 Plan is 53.5% of base salary, with the expectation that the maximum bonus amount will be 71.7% of base salary if Company financial results substantially exceed target levels and individual performance substantially exceeds expectations. The performance bonus target for Tim Dozois, our Corporate Counsel and Corporate Secretary, under the 2017 Plan is 36.5% of base salary, with the expectation that the maximum bonus amount will be 48.9% of base salary if Company financial results substantially exceed target levels and individual performance substantially exceeds expectations. Mr. Ednie and Mr. Dozois’s actual incentive awards will be derived from three components: (i) achievement of overall Company revenue and expense budget projections, which drives 48% of the incentive award calculation, (ii) achievement of profit and loss objectives for the officer’s cost center(s), which drives 12% of the incentive award calculation, and (iii) individual performance, which drives the remaining 40% of the incentive award calculation. The Compensation Committee retains the discretion to adjust the incentive award calculation.
