ITEM 5.02. DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS

On July 28, 2010, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of CEVA, Inc. (the “Company”) approved a 2010 Executive Bonus Plan (the “Plan”), effective as of January 1, 2010, applicable for Gideon Wertheizer, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and Yaniv Arieli, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer.

The following is a description of the Plan provided pursuant to Paragraph 10(iii) to Item 601 of Regulation S-K, which requires a written description of a compensatory plan when there is no formal document containing the compensation information. In accordance with the Plan, twenty-five percent of the cash bonus payable to each of Messrs. Wertheizer and Arieli will be determined based upon the Company’s achievement of financial performance, consisting of annual revenue and operating income targets based on the Company’s 2010 annual budget previously approved by the Company’s Board of Directors; provided, however, the Committee, with approval from the Company’s Board of Directors, has the discretion to (i) award all or a portion of such twenty-five percent of the cash bonus whether or not the financial performance is achieved, (ii) not award such twenty-five percent of the cash bonus or only a portion thereof notwithstanding the achievement of the financial performance or (iii) otherwise make adjustments to the metrics for awarding such twenty-five percent of the cash bonus, in each case if circumstances not in the ordinary course of business and unforeseen at the time of the establishment of the Plan occur during 2010 and the Committee, with approval from the Company’s Board of Directors, determines such circumstances are appropriate for the Committee to adjust the payment of such twenty-five percent of the cash bonus under the Plan. The components for determining whether or not the financial performance is achieved under the Plan remain the same as the 2009 Executive Bonus Plan. The other seventy-five percent of the cash bonus payable under the Plan will be determined based upon individual performance. The individual performance factors will be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, taking into account such tangible and intangible individual performance factors as it considers appropriate, including the executive officer’s relative contribution to the Company’s performance during fiscal 2010. The Committee’s determination as to whether individual performance goals have been met may be subjective in nature. The bonus payable to each of Messrs. Wertheizer and Arieli under the Plan is capped at seventy-five percent and fifty percent, respectively, of each of their base salaries for 2010. Payment of bonuses (if any) will be made in 2011. Bonuses will be paid in cash in a single lump sum, subject to payroll taxes and tax withholdings.
