ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS

Sonic Solutions (the “Company”) permits its directors, officers and certain employees to enter into stock trading plans with respect to the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) that are intended to qualify for the safe harbor under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Rule 10b5-1”), subject to the Company’s applicable guidelines and policies on insider trading.

On March 9, 2006, two of the Company’s co-founders and directors, Robert J. Doris and Mary C. Sauer, who are married to each other, established with a broker a pre-arranged trading plan (the “Plan”) to sell a portion of their holdings of Common Stock under guidelines specified in Rule 10b5-1.

The Plan, adopted during an open trading “window” pursuant to and in accordance with the Company’s insider trading policy, extends by its terms until March 31, 2008. The Plan specifies a formula for computing the number of shares and the prices at which they are to be sold on various dates during that time. The maximum number of shares to be sold under the Plan is 995,451, which equals approximately 38% of the shares beneficially owned by Mr. Doris and Ms. Sauer (either directly, or through vested employee stock options). To the extent required by relevant SEC rules, sales effected pursuant to the Plan will be reported publicly on Forms 144 and 4. Except as may be required by law, the Company does not undertake to report modifications, terminations or other activities under the Plan.
