Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously announced, on August 24, 2005, the Board of Directors of Hooper Holmes, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Mr. Benjamin A. Currier as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) to serve in such capacity on an interim basis while the Board searches for a new Chief Executive Officer. At that time, the Board had not yet considered Mr.Currier’s level of compensation as interim CEO.

On September 29, 2005, the members of the Company’s Board other than Mr. Currier, upon the recommendation of the Board’s Compensation Committee, determined that Mr. Currier should receive compensation for his services as interim CEO at an annual rate of $500,000. This compensation, which is payable retroactive to August 24, 2005, the date when Mr. Currier assumed this interim role, is to be paid in semi-monthly installments on the regular pay days for Company employees for the period he serves in such capacity. The Board members also determined that Mr. Currier will continue to receive fees payable to non-employee directors, including a $30,000 annual retainer for serving as chair of the Board. Mr. Currier agreed to these terms on October 3, 2005.
