ITEM 2.04                                       Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.

 

On May 12, 2005, the last reported sale price of the Common Stock of CRA International, Inc. (“CRA”) was greater than $50.00 per share for the twentieth day in the thirty consecutive trading day period ending on the last day of CRA’s second fiscal quarter ended May 13, 2005.  Accordingly, pursuant to Section 15.01(a) of the Indenture dated June 21, 2004 between CRA and U.S. Bank National Association governing CRA’s 2.875% convertible senior subordinated debentures due 2034 (the “Debentures”), the Debentures will be convertible during CRA’s third fiscal quarter ending September 2, 2005.  On December 14, 2004, pursuant to Section 15.02(i) of the Indenture, CRA had irrevocably elected to settle with cash 100% of the principal amount of the Debentures ($90,000,000) upon conversion thereof.  CRA maintains the right to satisfy any conversion obligation to the extent it exceeds the principal amount of the Debentures converted in shares of CRA common stock (or cash in lieu of fractional shares).

 

A copy of the press release, dated May 12, 2005, announcing the satisfaction of the market price conversion trigger is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
