Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On November 18, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Adaptec, Inc. (“Adaptec” or the “Company”) amended the Adaptec Incentive Plan (“AIP”) for the second half of fiscal 2006.  Under the amended AIP, all full or part-time exempt employees in grade 21 and above, except commissioned sales employees, are eligible to participate in the AIP. The funding of the AIP incentive pool is contingent upon the Company achieving financial goals determined by the Compensation Committee relating to the Company’s revenue and operating profit before taxes, and achieving four strategic goals.  Achievement of the financial goals will result in 75% of the AIP incentive pool being funded, while the remaining 25% of the AIP pool will be funded if the Company achieves three of the four strategic goals. In the event that the Company achieves three of the four strategic goals, but does not achieve the financial goals, the portion of the AIP related to the achievement of the strategic goals will still be paid.

 

A copy of the amended and restated AIP is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.01 and incorporated herein by reference.
