Item 5.02 Departure of directors or principal officers; election of directors; appointment of certain officers; compensatory arrangements of certain officers.
(e) On January 13, 2011, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) of Majesco Entertainment Company (the “Company”) met to determine the bonus payments to be made to the Company’s executive officers under the Company’s 2010 Executive Officer Incentive Bonus Program (the “2010 Plan”). The Committee determined that the Company had achieved two of the operational goals set forth in the 2010 Plan but that it did not meet the financial goal. Under the 2010 Plan, a payout is not made if the Company does not meet its financial goal and a payout would result in a net loss under the net income calculation pursuant to the 2010 Plan. On February 23, 2011, the Committee determined to award bonuses to the executive officers as set forth below although under the 2010 Plan the Company had a net loss. The Committee determined to make payments for 2010 performance since the net loss was the result of a strategic business decision to move the commercial release of certain of the Company’s key products to a later date, after the Company’s 2010 fiscal year.
The bonus amounts to be paid to the executive officers, as well as their 2010 bonus targets under the 2010 Plan, are listed below:
             
    Position   2010 Bonus Payout   Target Bonus under the 2010 Plan
Jesse Sutton
  Chief Executive Officer   $0   100% of annual salary, or $363,000
 
Michael Vesey
  Interim Chief Financial Officer   $24,000   35% of annual salary, or $70,000
