Facilities Consolidation

On June 29, 2011, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Harris Interactive Inc. (the “Company”) approved the Company’s plan to reduce its leased premises in Norwalk, Connecticut, Portland, Oregon, and Brentford, United Kingdom. This plan, which allows the Company to reduce its facilities-related costs by pursuing subleases for excess space at each of these locations, will result in lease exit costs of approximately $1.9 million that will be recognized principally in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011.

The Company will continue to evaluate its leased office space needs relative to the overall needs of the business.

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Director Compensation

On June 29, 2011, the Compensation Committee of the Board recommended, and the Board approved, modifications to the compensatory arrangement for its Chairman, Howard Shecter, to reflect the increased advisory role he is expected to have as the Company transitions to new senior management and pursues key strategic initiatives. Specifically, during fiscal year 2012, Mr. Shecter will receive a cash retainer of $10,000 per month and a restricted stock grant of 120,000 shares that vest 1/12 per month on the 15^th day of each month, commencing on July 15, 2011, in lieu of the cash retainer and equity grants that he would have otherwise received for his service as a director and Chairman of the Board in fiscal year 2012.

Separation Agreement

The Company entered into a letter agreement with Enzo Micali, its former Global Executive Vice President, Technology, Operations and Panel, and Chief Information Officer, effective July 1, 2011 (the “Micali Separation Agreement”), pursuant to which the parties agreed that in connection with his departure from the Company (as previously reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 24, 2011), Mr. Micali will continue to receive his bi-weekly salary through the month of January 2012, in the same manner and frequency as he was compensated prior to his departure from the Company. Additionally, Mr. Micali will receive, on a bi-weekly basis, the cash equivalent of the Company’s share of his health and medical premiums at his employee rate at the time of separation. The Micali Separation Agreement also provides for a customary release of claims by Mr. Micali, mutual non-disparagement obligations, and the survival of certain terms of Mr. Micali’s offer letter agreement, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2009.
