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

(e) On May 21, 2014, Mondelēz International, Inc. held our 2014 annual meeting of shareholders (the “annual meeting”). At the annual meeting, our shareholders approved the Mondelēz International, Inc. Amended and Restated 2005 Performance Incentive Plan (the “plan”), which had previously been approved by our Board of Directors, subject to the approval of our shareholders.

The plan amended our prior Mondelēz International, Inc. Amended and Restated 2005 Performance Incentive Plan to:

 

  •  

increase the number of shares of our Class A common stock available for issuance under the plan;

 

  •  

make future equity awards to our non-employee directors under the same plan as grants made to employees rather than under the separate Mondelēz International, Inc. Amended and Restated 2006 Stock Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors;

 

  •  

update plan provisions to be consistent with market practice and promote the long-term interest of shareholders; and

 

  •  

make other administrative changes.

The material features of the plan are described in our definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A for the annual meeting filed on April 1, 2014 (the “proxy statement”). The description of the plan included in the proxy statement is incorporated herein by reference. The above description of the plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On May 21, 2014, we held our annual meeting in Skokie, Illinois. A total of 1,407,290,097 shares of our Class A common stock, or 82.84% of our outstanding shares of Class A common stock, were represented in person or by proxy at the annual meeting. The final voting results for each of the matters submitted to a shareholder vote at the annual meeting are set forth below:
