Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(e) On September 22, 2007, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of PLATO Learning, Inc. (the "Company") recommended and approved retention payments to certain executive officers. One-half of the retention payment was paid in December 2007 with the remainder scheduled to be paid in June 2008.

On May 13, 2008, the Compensation Committee approved management’s recommendation that the remaining cash payment due in June 2008 be replaced by a grant of restricted stock units ("RSU’s") of equal value on June 6, 2008. The number of RSU’s to be granted to each executive will be determined by dividing the remaining cash payment due each executive by the Company’s closing stock price on June 6, 2008. The restrictions on the RSU’s will lapse on June 9, 2008.

Michael A. Morache, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Robert J. Rueckl, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, James T. Lynn, the Company’s Chief Technical Officer, and David H. LePage, the Company’s Senior Vice President of Operations will receive restricted stock units valued at $87,500, $37,935, $46,668, and $36,681, respectively
