ITEM 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 5, 2005, we entered into a fifth amendment to our vendor agreement with Best Buy Purchasing LLC. The amendment is effective as of March 1, 2005 and revises provisions relating to, among other things, the price at which Best Buy purchases digital video recorders from us and the types of digital video recorders for which we make a residual payment to Best Buy for customers who subsequently subscribe to and maintain their subscriptions to the TiVo service.
The foregoing description of our fifth amendment to our vendor agreement with Best Buy Purchasing LLC is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the agreement that will be filed as an exhibit with the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ending January 31, 2005.
On April 6, 2005, the Board of Directors of TiVo Inc., upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of TiVo Inc., approved Chief Executive Officer Michael Ramsay’s participation in the Company’s Fiscal Year 2006 Six and Twelve Month Bonus Plans For Executives (the “Plans”). Mr. Ramsay’s participation in the Plans will be prorated for the amount of time he actually serves as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Ramsay’s fiscal year 2006 target bonus amount for the Plans is set at seventy percent (70%) of his fiscal year 2006 base salary.
For the achievement of certain performance criteria previously established as part of the Plans, the Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of TiVo Inc., approved on April 6, 2005 the payout of a bonus to the Company’s executives, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.
