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

On April 25, 2012, Fair Isaac Corporation (the “Company”) announced that Deborah Kerr, the Company’s Executive Vice President, Chief Technology Officer, and Charles L. Ill, the Company’s Executive Vice President—Sales, Services and Marketing, both intend to transition out of their respective roles with the Company.

In connection with her separation from service, Ms. Kerr has entered into a Transition Agreement with the Company pursuant to which she resigned from her position as Executive Vice President, Chief Technology Officer effective April 25, 2012 but will remain employed by the Company in a consultative capacity through December 19, 2012 (the “Kerr Separation Date”). Ms. Kerr will receive an annual base salary of $100,000 in her new position and will not be eligible to receive a cash incentive payment under the Company’s Management Incentive Plan (“MIP”) for fiscal year 2012.

If Ms. Kerr’s employment is not terminated before the Kerr Separation Date in accordance with the terms of her Transition Agreement, she will be entitled to the following retention pay and benefits: (1) a cash payment equal to one times the sum of (a) her annual base salary ($100,000) and (b) the annual cash incentive payment made to Ms. Kerr under the MIP for fiscal year 2011 ($140,000), such cash payment to be made in a lump sum following the Kerr Separation Date, and (2) continuation of certain benefits pursuant to COBRA for 12 months. Ms. Kerr’s receipt of these retention pay and benefits is conditioned on her execution of a release of claims against the Company, her compliance with the terms of her Transition Agreement (which includes non-solicitation and non-disparagement provisions) and other agreements in effect between her and the Company, and her cooperation in the transition of her duties.

In connection with his separation from service, Mr. Ill has entered into a Transition Agreement with the Company pursuant to which he will continue in his role as Executive Vice President—Sales, Services and Marketing through no later than September 30, 2012 and will subsequently remain employed by the Company to provide transition assistance through February 22, 2013 (the “Ill Separation Date”). Mr. Ill will continue to receive his current annual base salary of $550,000 while he is employed by the Company. He also will be eligible to receive a cash incentive payment of between 0% and 100% of his annual base salary under the MIP for fiscal year 2012 but will not be eligible for a cash incentive payment under the MIP for fiscal year 2013. He will also receive a continuation of life insurance benefits for 12 months following the Ill Separation Date.

If Mr. Ill’s employment is not terminated before the Ill Separation Date in accordance with the terms of his Transition Agreement, he will be entitled to the following retention pay and benefits: (1) a cash payment equal to one times the sum of (a) his annual base salary ($550,000) and (b) the greater of (i) the annual cash incentive payment made to Mr. Ill under the MIP for fiscal year 2011 ($175,000) and (ii) the annual cash incentive payment Mr. Ill receives under the MIP for fiscal year 2012, such cash payment to be made in a lump sum following the Ill Separation Date, and (2) continuation of certain benefits pursuant to COBRA for 12 months. Mr. Ill’s receipt of these retention pay and benefits is conditioned on his execution of a release of claims against the Company, his compliance with the terms of his Transition Agreement (which includes non-solicitation and non-disparagement provisions) and other agreements in effect between him and the Company, and his cooperation in the transition of his duties.

Mr. Ill and the Company have also entered into an Amended and Restated Management Agreement, which amends and restates the Management Agreement dated February 1, 2010 between the parties. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Management Agreement, if Mr. Ill’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or if he resigns for Good Reason within 60 days before or one


year following a change of control Event that occurs during the Term of the Amended and Restated Management Agreement (each as defined in the Amended and Restated Management Agreement), then he will be entitled to the following severance pay and benefits, subject to certain limitations specified in the Amended and Restated Management Agreement: (1) a cash payment in an amount equal to one times the sum of (a) his annual base salary and (b) the annual cash incentive payment paid to him for the preceding fiscal year, such cash payment to be made in a lump sum following Mr. Ill’s separation from service, (2) continuation of certain insurance benefits for 12 months, and (3) full acceleration of all of his unvested stock options, restricted stock units and performance share units. Mr. Ill’s receipt of these severance pay and benefits would be conditioned on his execution of a release of claims against the Company and a one-year nonsolicitation agreement.
