Amendment to the FTI Consulting, Inc. 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as Amended and Restated Effective April 27, 2005
On and effective March 29, 2006, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of FTI Consulting, Inc. (“FTI”), upon the recommendation of the administrator of the plan, the Compensation Committee of the Board, approved and authorized the Amendment (the “Plan Amendment”) to the FTI Consulting, Inc. 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as Amended and Restated Effective April 27, 2005 (the “Amended 2004 Plan”). The Plan Amendment amends the Amended 2004 Plan to clarify powers of the administrator that are implicit in the Amended 2004 Plan, as follows: (i) the power of the administrator to specify a definition of “change in control” that is different than the definition set forth in the Amended 2004 Plan in the award agreement for any award that it deems advisable; (ii) the power of the administrator to make cash based awards; and (iii) the power of the administrator to delegate administrative and ministerial functions to officers or employees of FTI and to engage outside advisors and counsel. It also incorporates technical amendments addressing compensation deferral issues within the meaning of Section 409A and executive compensation issues under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Pursuant to Section 7(e) of the Amended 2004 Plan, the Board has the power and authority to approve and adopt the Plan Amendment without submitting it to stockholders of FTI for approval. FTI is filing the Plan Amendment as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and it is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
