On October 5, 2010, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Multimedia Games, Inc. (the “Company”) recommended that providing an annual equity incentive for outside or non-employee directors of the Company in the form of restricted stock unit awards in lieu of stock options was more beneficial to the Company, and, accordingly, determined that the Revised Director Compensation Plan (the “Compensation Plan”), as previously disclosed on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on March 8, 2005, should be amended in order to provide for grants of restricted stock or restricted stock units. The Committee determined to amend the Compensation Plan in order to permit the Committee, at its discretion, to award that number of restricted stock or restricted stock units having an equivalent value to an award of stock options for 10,000 shares, with vesting terms as determined by the Committee. On October 7, 2010, the Board of Directors approved the Compensation Plan as amended.
Also on October 5, 2010, the Committee awarded initial restricted stock units pursuant to the amended Compensation Plan. Each outside or non-employee director of the Company was awarded a restricted stock unit for 5,257 shares. These restricted stock units vest in full on October 1, 2011. On October 7, 2010, the Board of Directors ratified the grant of the initial restricted stock units.

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, as filed with the Commission on March 15, 2010 (the “March 15 Current Report”), on March 14, 2010, the Committee recommended and our full Board of Directors approved a retention bonus plan (the “Retention Plan”) for members of senior management. As provided under the Retention Plan, the June 30 and the September 30 bonuses have been paid to each of those executives named in the March 15 Current Report. As of October 5, 2010, certain of those members of senior management (each, an “Executive”) executed a retention agreement (“Retention Agreement”), which implements the previously disclosed Retention Plan. The remaining bonus for each of the Executives will be subject to the terms of the Retention Agreements. The Retention Agreements are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 – 10.4 and are incorporated herein by reference.
