Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Non-employee Directors’ Compensation in the Past

 

From November 2007 to December 2008, members of our board of directors that are not employees received a quarterly fee of $15,000 (which was subsequently reduced to $12,000 with effect from January 1, 2009) and the chairman of our audit committee received an additional $7,500 per quarter (which was subsequently reduced to $6,000 with effect from January 1, 2009).

 

Latest Changes in the Non-employee Directors’ Compensation Policy

 

On November 8, 2011, our board of directors, acting upon the recommendation and approval of our compensation committee, approved an amendment to our policy concerning the compensation of our non-employee directors.

 

Since January 2009, our policy had been to provide each non-employee member of our board of directors with an annual grant of options to purchase 50,000 shares of our common stock and a quarterly fee of $12,000, provided that the chairman of our audit committee received an additional $6,000 per quarter.   Pursuant to the amendments, effective as of January 1, 2012, each non-employee member of our board of directors will receive an annual grant of options to purchase 100,000 shares of our common stock and a quarterly fee of $13,500, provided that the chairman of our audit committee will receive an additional $6,500 per quarter.

 

All other provisions of our previously disclosed policy concerning the compensation of our non-employee directors remain in effect and unmodified, except for the latest changes as described in this report.
