(the "Company") approved the HealthExtras, Inc. 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2006 Plan"). The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2006 Plan is 1,500,000, subject to reduction depending on the type of awards granted. Employees, directors and independent contractors of the Company or its affiliates are eligible to participate in the 2006 Plan. The terms of the 2006 Plan were previously disclosed in, and a copy of the 2006 Plan was contained as an appendix to, the Company's definitive proxy statement for its Annual Meeting of Stockholders filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 1, 2006. In addition, on June 6, 2006, the Board granted, effective the day after the Company files a Form S-8 registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 relating to the shares of its common stock covered by the 2006 Plan, 2,000 shares of restricted stock pursuant to the 2006 Plan to each of the following Directors of the Company: Edward S. Civera, Chairman of the Board, William E. Brock, Steven B. Epstein, Michael R. McDonnell, Dale B. Wolf, and Kenneth A. Samet. These Directors are not employees of the Company, do not have a beneficial ownership interest in 10% or more of the Company's common stock (a "10% Stockholder") and are not officers or employees of a 10% Stockholder (the "Qualifying Directors"). These shares vest in two equal installments, with the first installment vesting one year after the effective date and the second installment vesting on May 31, 2008. For future years, the Board determined that, unless revised by the Board, Qualifying Directors are each to be granted restricted stock awards for 2,000 shares of common stock on June 1, 2007 and each subsequent June 1. One-half of the shares covered by these awards would vest on the following May 31, and the other one-half would vest on the May 31 two years after the grant date. Vesting of restricted stock awards would be accelerated in the event of the death or retirement of a Director or the Director ceases to serve as a Director following a change in control of the Company as defined in the 2006 Plan. 2 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
