ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.
On July 12, 2005, the Board of Directors of A.S.V., Inc. ("ASV") approved the
terms of compensation to be paid to ASV's directors, effective retroactively as
of January 1, 2005 for current ASV directors. Each non-employee director
receives an annual retainer fee of $20,000 for serving as a director, and the
chair of the Audit Committee receives an additional annual retainer fee of
$5,000 for such service. In addition, each non-employee director receives stock
option awards under the 1998 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan, which
includes an option to purchase 2,250 shares of ASV common stock upon initial
election to the Board and an option to purchase 3,000 shares of ASV common stock
on the first business day of each calendar year thereafter, provided such person
is a director of ASV at the time of grant of the option. In addition, ASV
reimburses directors for expenses incurred in connection with attendance at
Board meetings. Directors who are also ASV employees do not receive any
additional compensation for serving on the Board of Directors but may receive
stock options as part of their compensation as officers of ASV.
A copy of the summary sheet outlining the terms of director compensation
approved by the Board is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form
8-K and is hereby incorporated by reference.
