ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
On January 13, 2005, the compensation committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the board of directors of DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc. (the “Company”) established objective performance goals for performance-based options to purchase the Company’s Class A common stock (“Common Stock”) and performance-based restricted shares of Common Stock that were awarded under the Company’s 2004 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2004 Plan”) to certain named executive officers on October 27, 2004, the date of the Company’s initial public offering. A copy of the 2004 Plan was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Form S-1 dated October 27, 2004. The objective performance goals for each such named executive officer are based on (i) the Company’s revenues, (ii) the Company’s operating cash flow in excess of a predetermined return on investment and (iii) average return on investment, all of which are to be measured at the end of a four-year performance period.
The Compensation Committee also approved performance compensation awards with respect to 1,020,952 shares of Common Stock under the 2004 Plan for certain named executive officers. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of such awards, delivery of shares of Common Stock is contingent on a determination and certification by the Compensation Committee at the end of a four-year performance period that certain objective performance goals based on the Company’s revenues and the Company’s operating cash flow in excess of return on investment have been achieved.
