On March 21, 2006, FTI Consulting, Inc. (“FTI”) entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Employment Agreement dated as of November 5, 2002 (the Employment Agreement”) of Theodore I. Pincus, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, of FTI. Pursuant to the Amendment, the term of Mr. Pincus’ Employment Agreement, which would have expired on November 2, 2006, has been extended until November 2, 2007 (the “Continuation Date”) and, thereafter, the term will automatically renew for an additional year from year to year (each an “Annual Renewal,” and collectively the “Annual Renewals”) unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal to the other party at least 45 days prior to end of the Continuation Date or the expiration of such Annual Renewal term, as applicable. In addition, pursuant to the Amendment, Mr. Pincus’ base salary increased to $650,000 per annum. During the three year transition period provided under the Employment Agreement, Mr. Pincus will be required to devote the first six months to training and transitioning a new chief financial officer for FTI, and would earn $650.00 per hour for each hour worked in excess of the 500 hours called for during each annual transition period. In addition, Mr. Pincus will have a special bonus opportunity of up to $325,000 that could be earned following completion of the first six months of his transition period in the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.
