(e)     On September 23, 2008, Travelzoo Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amendment to the employment agreements of its Chief Information Officer, Max Rayner, and of its Chief Financial Officer, Wayne Lee. Under the original terms of Mr. Rayner’s and Mr. Lee’s employment agreements, effective as of November 5, 2007 and December 9, 2005, respectively, they were each entitled to participate in the Company’s North America Executive Bonus Plan, pursuant to which they were eligible to receive up to $50,000 in quarterly performance bonuses based on the achievement of quarterly targets relating to the Company’s North American revenue, operating income, significant customer concentration and “Top 20” subscribers. As a result of the Company’s expanded worldwide operations since the adoption of the North America Executive Bonus Plan in January, 2007, the Company has decided to discontinue the North America Executive Bonus Plan. The terms of Mr. Rayner’s and Mr. Lee’s amended employment agreements will allow them to participate in an individual performance bonus plan in lieu of the North America Executive Bonus Plan.

 

Under the terms of Mr. Rayner’s amended employment agreement, he will be entitled to receive a quarterly bonus of up to $60,000, based on the satisfaction, as determined by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, of certain quarterly targets relating to Company revenue, significant customer concentration, operating income and worldwide subscribers.

 

Mr. Lee’s amended employment agreement provides him the right to receive a quarterly bonus of up to $45,000, based on the satisfaction, as determined by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, of certain quarterly targets relating to Company revenue, significant customer concentration, operating income and worldwide subscribers. Mr. Lee will also be eligible to receive a discretionary quarterly bonus of up to $15,000, based on the Company’s Chief Executive Officer’s evaluation of his individual performance.

 

Copies of the amendments are attached as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 and are incorporated herein by reference.
