Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On October 29, 2007, OI Corporation (the "Company") amended its 2003 Incentive Compensation Plan pursuant to a vote of the Company's Board of Directors. Prior to the amendment, the 2003 Incentive Compensation Plan provided that options granted to non-employee directors would vest and become exercisable six months from the date of grant and would expire three years from the date of grant. The amendment extends the vesting period for non-employee director options from six months to one year and the life of the options from three years to up to ten years, subject to such non-employee director's continuing service to the Company. Additionally, the amendment provides that each non-employee director will receive an automatic grant of an option to purchase 4,000 shares of the Company's common stock annually on the date of each annual meeting of shareholders at which he or she is re-elected or continues to serve as a non-employee director. Prior to this amendment, each non-employee director received an automatic grant of an option to purchase 2,000 shares of the Company's common stock.
