Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On June 17, 2011, William Slater, Chief Financial Officer of Saba Software, Inc. (“Saba”), informed Saba of his decision to retire from the Company. In order to facilitate a smooth transition, Mr. Slater has provided Saba with more than nine months advance notice of his expected retirement on March 31, 2012. Saba has initiated an external search for a new chief financial officer and plans to complete this process in advance of Mr. Slater’s retirement date.

In connection with Mr. Slater’s announced future retirement from Saba, Mr. Slater and Saba entered into an amendment to Mr. Slater’s employment agreement on June 22, 2011. The amendment synchronizes the terms of his current employment agreement with Mr. Slater’s planned retirement date and provides, among other things, for payment of salary and benefits, as well as vesting of outstanding equity awards, through the retirement date.
