Item 1.01   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 14, 2006, the Board of Directors of Activision, Inc. (the “Company”) approved non-substantive amendments to the Company’s: (1) 1991 Stock Option and Stock Award Plan; (2) 1998 Incentive Plan; (3) 1999 Incentive Plan; (4) 2001 Incentive Plan; (5) 2002 Incentive Plan; (6) 2002 Executive Incentive Plan; (7) 2002 Studio Employee Retention Incentive Plan; (8) Third Amended and Restated 2002 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and (9) Amended and Restated 2003 Incentive Plan, (collectively the “Plans”). These amendments clarify that anti-dilution adjustments to equity awards under those plans are required and not discretionary actions of the Company. The purpose of these amendments is to ensure that customary anti-dilution adjustments to equity awards resulting from certain corporate transactions such as a stock split or a stock dividend do not result in the modification of an equity award for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R, “Share-Based Payments.” If these anti-dilution adjustments were characterized as a modification of an equity award, the Company could be required to record incremental compensation expense. The amendments are designed to remove the potential for these types of corporate transactions to be characterized as modifications of equity awards. Copies of the amendments to the Plans are attached as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3. 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, 10.8 and 10.9 to this report.
