Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 18, 2005, the Registrant’s board of directors passed a resolution adopting the Thunderball Entertainment, Inc. 2005 Stock Option Plan (the “2005 Plan”). The Company has reserved 1,500,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the 2005 Plan. As of the date of this current report, no options have been granted under the 2005 Plan. The 2005 Plan provides for the grant of both incentive and non-statutory stock options which are valued at the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. The exercise price of incentive stock options may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the stock subject to the option on the date of the grant and, in some cases, may not be less than 110% of such fair market value. The exercise price of non-statutory options may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant. Incentive stock options granted under the 2005 Plan are intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Non-statutory stock options granted under the 2005 Plan will not qualify as incentive stock options. The board of directors adopted the 2005 Plan to provide a means by which Company employees, directors, officers and consultants may be given an opportunity to purchase stock in the Company, to assist in retaining the services of such persons, to secure and retain the services of persons capable of filling such positions and to provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for the success of the Company.
