ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On January 24, 2005, the Board of Directors of BackWeb Technologies Ltd. established the Company’s 2005 bonus plan. Executive officers and certain other employees are eligible to receive bonuses under the plan. Payments under the plan are based upon BackWeb meeting certain specified milestones related to 2005 annual revenue, BackWeb’s cash balance at the end of fiscal year 2005 and attainment of an additional business objective. One of the milestones allows for payment of a partial bonus for partial attainment of the milestone, and one of the milestones allows for an uncapped increased bonus to the extent BackWeb exceeds the milestone. Each participant in the bonus plan has a designated target bonus amount, and each participant will receive the same specified percentage of his or her target bonus under the plan. At 100% attainment of all milestones, approximately $400,000 of bonuses will be paid.

ITEM 5.02. DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR PRINCIPAL OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF PRINCIPAL OFFICERS.

On January 22, 2005, Isabel Maxwell informed Eli Barkat, BackWeb’s Chairman, that she would not seek re-election to BackWeb’s Board of Directors upon the expiration of her term on February 28, 2005. However, Ms. Maxwell indicated that she would agree to remain on BackWeb’s Board of Directors until June 1, 2005 at BackWeb’s request.
