Item 5.02   Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
     (e)
     On July 14, 2008, Korn/Ferry International (the “Company”) entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with Paul C. Reilly, Executive Chairman of the Board, extending Mr. Reilly’s employment for another year, July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009. The Letter agreement modifies certain of the terms of Mr. Reilly’s employment agreement (“Employment Agreement”), dated April 24, 2007.
     Pursuant to the terms of the Letter Agreement, Mr. Reilly’s annual base salary will continue to be $500,000 and Mr. Reilly will have a target bonus opportunity of $750,000 with an opportunity to earn additional bonus amounts, as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board, for critical special assignments. If Mr. Reilly’s employment is terminated by the Board or Mr. Reilly, for any reason other than cause, Mr. Reilly will be entitled to compensation through the date of termination, including a pro-rated bonus for the year of termination as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board. If Mr. Reilly’s employment is terminated for cause, Mr. Reilly will only be paid his accrued salary through the date of termination. If Mr. Reilly’s employment is terminated by death or disability, the Company will pay to Mr. Reilly or his representative accrued salary and a pro-rated target bonus for the year of termination. Except as noted above, Mr. Reilly’s existing Employment Agreement continues to remain in effect, including the restrictive covenants set forth therein.
