Pursuant to the Analex Corporation 2002 Stock Incentive Plan, each non-employee director shall automatically receive on the date of the first regular Board meeting held in each new fiscal year Stock-Only Stock Appreciation Rights (SOSAR) covering 5,000 shares of Analex Common Stock. On February 22, 2006, the Registrant approved grants to the following non-employee directors, Messers C. Thomas Faulders, III, Lincoln D. Faurer, Martin Hale, Jr., Gerald Poch, Daniel R. Young, Thomas Hewitt and Daniel P. March, whereby they each were granted SOSARs covering 5,000 shares of Analex Common Stock. These SOSARs became fully vested upon the date of grant and the exercise price was the closing price reported on NASDAQ on February 21, 2006. In accordance with the terms of the 2002 Plan, these SOSARs shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the tenth anniversary of the grant, and (ii) 90 days after the cessation of the individual's service as a member of the Board, unless the Board sets a later expiration date subsequent to the date of grant but prior to the end of the 90-day period following the individual's cessation as a member of the Board. On February 22, 2006, the Registrant's Board of Directors approved the grant 50,000 shares of restricted stock to each of Messrs. C. Wayne Grubbs, V. Joseph Broadwater and Stephen C. Matthews. The Registrant's Board of Directors, including the Compensation Committee which is solely comprised of independent directors, considered the grants material inducement to these individuals' employment with the Registrant as its Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Senior Vice President of the National Security Group and Senior Vice President of Business Development, respectively. The restricted stock will vest at 25% increments each year for the next 4 years from the date of employment. If the individual grantee's employment with the Company terminates for any reason before the restricted stock becomes vested, his rights and interests in any unvested restricted stock will be forfeited. Until such time as the shares become vested pursuant to the Restricted Stock Award Agreement, the individual shall not have the right to transfer, pledge, or hypothecate all or any portion of the restricted stock with or without consideration. Each of the Restricted Stock Agreements is filed herewith as an exhibit to this Form 8-K report. Since these grants were made as an inducement material to certain individuals' employment with the Company, the Company is seeking to issue the securities without shareholders' approval pursuant to Section 711(a) of the American Stock Exchange Company Guide. In compliance with the Section 711 of the American Stock Exchange Company Guide, the Company has issued a press release containing certain information about such grants. The full text of such press release is attached herewith as Exhibit 10.10 to this Form 8-K report. Item 9.01 Financial Statement and Exhibits (c) Exhibits See Exhibit index attached hereto.
