On February 2, 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of TheStreet.com, Inc. (the “Company”) approved additional exercise procedures with respect to stock options expiring February 14 and March 15, 2006 and held by James Lonergan, president and chief operating officer, and Thomas J. Clarke, Jr., chief executive officer (the “Executives”), in order to permit the Executives to exercise the options by applying some of the shares subject to the options (valued at the closing price on the day before the date of exercise) to the payment of the exercise price and the minimum amount of applicable withholding taxes then due. The effect of such form of exercise is that the Executives would receive shares equal in value to the option spread and would not be required to deliver cash in satisfaction of the exercise price (or the withholding taxes). Under the new procedures, the Executives would be permitted to use such additional form of exercise at any time prior to the expiration of the options.
