 Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On January 26, 2006, 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, the funding measurements of the AIP incentive pool were updated to reflect the fact that the Company decided to retain a product line that was previously classified within discontinued operations. As a result, this product line has been reclassified back into continuing operations. The decision to retain the product line was made in conjunction with the renegotiation of a customer supply contract. A copy of the amended and restated AIP is attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.01 and incorporated herein by reference.

 

In addition, on January 26, 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Adaptec approved an increase to Mr. Subramanian ‘Sundi’ Sundaresh’s and Mr. Marcus Lowe’s annual base salary, effective April 1, 2006. Mr. Sundaresh will receive an annual base salary of $450,000, an increase from his previous salary of $400,000. Mr. Lowe will receive an annual base salary of $260,000, an increase from his previous salary of $250,000. As a result of these actions, the Company will be entering into an Addendum to both Mr. Sundaresh’s and Mr. Lowe’s Employment Agreements, effective April 1, 2006 (the “Employment Agreement Addendums”). The Employment Agreement Addendums will be filed with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.

 

Except as described above, all terms of Mr. Sundaresh and Mr. Lowe’s existing Employment Agreements remain in full force and effect.
