Item 1.01        Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

(a)                                  On January 25, 2005, Digital Impact, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Exchange Election and Restricted Stock Agreement (the “Restricted Stock Agreement”) with each of David Oppenheimer, the Company’s Senior Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer, Kevin Johnson, Senior Vice President, Products & Marketing, and Michael Gorman, Senior Vice President, Search & Acquisition.  Under the terms of the Restricted Stock Agreement, the executives were offered the opportunity to cancel certain previous grants of Company stock options in order to obtain new grants of restricted stock.  The restricted stock will vest at the rate of 1/16 per quarter over a four-year period, provided that the executive remains employed by the Company on each vesting date.  Unvested restricted stock held on the date of termination of service will be forfeited.  The restricted stock will be equitably adjusted in the event of certain recapitalizations of the Company.  Messrs. Johnson, Oppenheimer and Gorman were granted 225,000, 200,000 and 175,000 shares of restricted stock, respectively, in exchange for the cancellation of 70,000, 190,000 and 150,000 stock options, respectively.  The form of Exchange Election and Restricted Stock Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

(b)                                 On January 25, 2005, the Company revised its retention agreements with William Park, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Gerardo Capiel, Chief Technology Officer, Kevin Johnson, David Oppenheimer and Michael Gorman.  Pursuant to the revised retention agreements, if the executive’s employment is terminated or the executive resigns for certain reasons within twelve months following a change in control of the Company, then the executive will receive (i) severance equal to six months’ salary, (ii) six months’ paid medical benefits and (iii) full vesting of unvested equity awards.  The form of retention agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
