Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
As noted in its proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 7, 2006, one of the current directors of Toreador Resources Corporation (“Toreador”), Thomas P. Kellogg, was not re-nominated to be elected as a member of the board of directors at Toreador’s upcoming annual meeting on May 9, 2006. Mr. Kellogg currently has 2,600 shares of restricted stock pursuant to the terms of his Restricted Stock Award Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of his Restricted Stock Award Agreement, the restrictions on transferability of the restricted stocks are to be removed in part on each of May 19, 2006, May 19, 2007 and May 19, 2008 if Mr. Kellogg is still a director on such dates.
Since Mr. Kellogg has not been re-nominated to be elected as a director and will not be a director on the dates that the restrictions on transferability of the restricted stock are to be removed, Toreador has amended his Restricted Stock Award Agreement such that all the restrictions on transferability of Mr. Kellogg’s 2,600 shares of restricted stock shall be removed on May 9, 2006 when Mr. Kellogg ceases to be a Toreador director.
