INFORMATION INCLUDED IN THIS REPORT

ITEM 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 7, 2004, the 2004 Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) of Sonic Solutions (the “Company”) became effective upon approval by the Company’s shareholders at the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders held on the same date. The Plan is designed to provide employees, including executive officers, directors and consultants of the Company the opportunity to purchase the Company’s common stock through incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights and dividend equivalent rights (collectively, the “awards”).

A total of 3,000,000 shares of common stock is reserved initially for issuance under the Plan, subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend, or other similar change in the common stock or capital structure of the Company. Generally, the term of any award may not be greater than ten years and the exercise price to purchase common stock pursuant to an option may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant.

Subsequent to shareholder approval of the Plan, each of Robert J. Doris, Mary C. Sauer, Robert Greber, Peter Marguglio and Warren R. Langley received an option grant to purchase 170,000, 80,000, 30,000, 24,000 and 24,000 shares, respectively, of common stock under the Plan at an exercise price of $15.90 per share, which represented the closing selling price per share of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq National Market on September 7, 2004.

A copy of the Plan and the option agreements for the individual grants are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 through 10.6, and are incorporated herein by reference.
