Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On March 30, 2005, the Compensation and Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) of Forrester Research, Inc. (“Forrester”) approved the grant of stock options, effective March 31, 2005, under Forrester’s Amended and Restated 1996 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Each of these options is exercisable at a price of $14.06 per share, the fair market value on the grant date as determined under the Plan. The term of each option is ten years from the date of grant.
The options are subject to forfeiture in the event Forrester does not achieve earnings per share (“EPS”) targets established by the Committee for fiscal 2005. If the EPS target is met, the options vest in annual increments over either two or three years from the date of grant, depending on the level of EPS achieved. The options will also vest in full upon a change of control of Forrester.
The following executive officers of the Company, who will be “named executive officers” in the proxy statement for Forrester’s 2005 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, received stock option grants for the number of shares listed below:
