Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On March 23, 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Terremark Worldwide, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the vesting, effective as of March 31, 2006, of all unvested stock options previously granted under the Company’s stock option and executive incentive compensation plans. The options affected by this accelerated vesting had exercise prices ranging from $2.79 to $16.50. As a result of the accelerated vesting, options to purchase approximately 300,000 shares, became immediately exercisable. All other terms of these options remain unchanged. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors accelerated the vesting of options for the following directors and executive officers:
Accelerated | Strike | |||||||
Directors | Shares | Prices | ||||||
Fernando Fernandez-Tapias | 9,000 | $6.30 | ||||||

The Company will adopt Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123 (revised 2004) (“SFAS 123R”), “Share-Based Payment” as of April 1, 2006, and will then recognize compensation expense prospectively for all future stock option grants. The decision of the Compensation Committee to accelerate the vesting of all outstanding options was made primarily to reduce compensation expense that otherwise would be recorded starting with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2006 and the administrative burden associated with the adoption of SFAS 123R. The Company will recognize approximately $1.2 million (before tax) of compensation expense during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 as a result of the acceleration of the vesting of the options, but will not be required to recognize future compensation expenses for the accelerated options under FAS 123R unless the Company makes modifications to the options, which is not anticipated. The future compensation expense that will be avoided, based on the Company’s implementation date for SFAS 123R on April 1, 2006, is approximately $800,000, $350,000, and $44,000 in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007, 2008, and 2009, respectively. These expenses are preliminary estimates and are subject to revision.
