Item 1.01 | | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement |
Director Compensation Arrangements
On August 4, 2005, our board of directors determined to amend the Liberty Global, Inc. Compensation Policy for Nonemployee Directors, which provides, among other things, for the payment to our nonemployee directors of annual cash fees and cash fees for attendance at meetings. As amended, the policy permits our nonemployee directors to elect to receive payment of their annual fees in shares of our common stock rather than cash. Annual fees are payable quarterly in arrears. The first quarter with respect to which this election right applies is the quarter ended December 31, 2005.
Also, at the board meeting, our board of directors determined to amend the Liberty Global, Inc. 2005 Nonemployee Director Incentive Plan to provide that stock issued in lieu of annual cash fees shall be issued under such plan and to provide the terms and conditions upon which such stock payments will be made, including the condition that elections be made prior to the calendar quarter with respect to which they apply. Our board also determined that our Series A common stock would be the series of common stock deliverable in lieu of annual cash fees.
Copies of the Liberty Global, Inc. Compensation Policy for Nonemployee Directors (As Amended and Restated Effective August 4, 2005) and the Liberty Global, Inc. 2005 Nonemployee Director Incentive Plan (As Amended and Restated Effective August 4, 2005) are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and incorporated herein by this reference. The foregoing descriptions of the amended policy and amended plan are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text thereof set forth in Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively.
