On May 18, 2011, the shareholders of Kenexa Corporation (the “Company”) approved an amendment to the Company’s 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which was submitted to the shareholders for approval at the Annual Meeting (as defined below).

The amendment provides for an increase of 1,900,000 in the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Plan, from 4,842,910 shares to an aggregate of 6,742,910 shares.  The amendment also refines certain provisions of the Plan addressing the treatment of awards in connection with a change in control of the Company, and allows the Company to, among other things, cancel unvested awards (or any portion thereof) upon a change in control.  Additionally, the amendment updates provisions of the Plan concerning compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and clarifies the treatment of fractional shares resulting from a recapitalization, stock split or combination, stock dividend or other similar event requiring an adjustment to the shares subject to the  Plan.
