Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 25, 2005 the Compensation and Organizational Development Committee of the Board of Directors of Intuit Inc. (the “Compensation Committee”) established the threshold performance goal for the fiscal 2006 bonuses payable to executive officers Stephen M. Bennett, Robert B. Henske, Richard W. Ihrie, Alexander M. Lintner, Kiran M. Patel and Brad D. Smith under Intuit’s Senior Executive Incentive Plan (“SEIP”). The SEIP is a cash incentive plan that was approved by Intuit’s stockholders in December 2002. The purposes of the SEIP are to motivate senior executives by tying compensation to performance, reward exceptional performance that supports overall Intuit objectives, and attract and retain top performing employees. Under the SEIP, the Committee establishes one or more performance goals for each fiscal year. A copy of the SEIP is attached as an appendix to Intuit’s 2002 proxy statement filed October 23, 2002.
The Committee established a threshold performance goal based on a specified revenue target that Intuit must achieve as a condition to payment of any bonuses under the SEIP for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2006. The maximum bonus payout under the SEIP is $5 million per participant. If the threshold performance goal is achieved, actual individual bonus amounts will be determined by the Compensation Committee based upon such performance criteria as the Compensation Committee deems appropriate. The bonus payments are also subject to the other terms of the SEIP.
