Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 24, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of FormFactor, Inc. (the “Company”) approved a Key Employee Bonus Plan under which eligible employees (including all of the Company’s named executive officers) will have the potential to receive cash bonuses. The bonuses will be based on the Company achieving revenue, operating profit, on-time delivery and new factory ramp-up performance targets, as well as on individual performance. Awards will be measured and paid on an annual basis. The target bonus amount may be different for any individual, but ranges from 10% to 100% of base salary. In order for a participant in the bonus plan to receive the bonus, the Company must achieve certain minimum revenue and operating profit goals. Participants will have the potential to receive increasing bonus amounts if the Company exceeds the performance targets, up to a maximum of 200% of the target bonus.
The following table sets forth, for each of the Company’s named executive officers, the target bonus for 2005 under the Key Employee Bonus Plan:
| 2005 Target | ||||
| Name and Principal Position | Bonus | |||
| Dr. Igor Y. Khandros | $ | 345,000 | ||
| Chief Executive Officer | ||||
| Joseph R. Bronson | $ | 300,000 | ||
| President and Member of the Office of the Chief Executive Officer | ||||
| Benjamin N. Eldridge | $ | 164,500 | ||
| Senior Vice President of Development and Chief Technical Officer | ||||
| Ronald C. Foster | $ | 192,500 | ||
| Chief Financial Officer | ||||
| Yoshikazu Hatsukano | $ | 137,634 | (1) | |
| Senior Vice President of Asia-Pacific Operations and President of FormFactor K.K. | ||||
| Jens Meyerhoff | $ | 238,000 | ||
| Senior Vice President of Operations | ||||
| Peter B. Mathews | $ | 141,000 | ||
| Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales | ||||
| (1) | The U.S. dollar equivalent of the target bonus, which is to be paid to Mr. Hatsukano in Japanese Yen, is calculated using the exchange rate at March 24, 2005 of one U.S. dollar to 106.26 Japanese Yen. |
