Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On December 27, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) of Tuesday Morning Corporation (the “Company”) adopted cash bonus agreements (the “Bonus Agreements”) for Loren K. Jensen and John F. Reeves (each an “Executive” and together, the “Executives”).  Below is an explanation as to why the Bonus Agreements were necessary and a description of the Bonus Agreements, as adopted by the Compensation Committee.

 

The Bonus Agreements relate to a modification of a portion of each Executive’s non-qualified stock options, issued in connection with their employment, by increasing the original grant price to reflect recent changes in tax law regarding deferred compensation. The effect of the Bonus Agreements is to put the Executive in a substantially similar position after the tax law change as the Executive was prior to the tax law change.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Bonus Agreements, each of the Executives must be employed by an affiliate of the Company on the date on which the bonuses are to be paid.  Mr. Jensen is entitled to a bonus on December 27, 2005, 2006, 2007 and May 5, 2008.  The award is to be paid in three annual installments of $29,698 beginning December 27, 2005 and a final payment of $7,424 on May 5, 2008.  Mr. Reeves is entitled to a bonus on December 27, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and March 15, 2009.  The award is to be paid in four annual installments of $22,161 beginning December 27, 2005 and a final payment of $5,539 on March 15, 2009.  Each Executive’s Bonus Agreement provides that his Bonus Agreement will terminate and no additional unearned bonus payment will be made if the executive is terminated for any reason, dies, resigns for any reason, or becomes disabled before the relevant bonus payment is to be paid.
