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

On May 20, 2008, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of CEVA, Inc. (the “Company”) approved a 2008 Executive Bonus Plan (the “Plan”), effective as of January 1, 2008, applicable for Gideon Wertheizer, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and Yaniv Arieli, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. The purpose of the Plan is to promote the interests of the Company and its stockholders by providing the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company with financial rewards upon achievement of specified business objectives, as well as help the Company to retain these key employees by providing attractive compensation opportunities linked to performance results.

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, fifty 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 2008 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 fifty percent of the cash bonus whether or not the financial performance is achieved, (ii) not award any portion or none of such fifty percent of the cash bonus notwithstanding the achievement of the financial performance or (iii) otherwise make adjustments to the metrics for awarding such fifty 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 2008 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 fifty percent of the cash bonus under the Plan. The other fifty percent of the cash bonus 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 considered appropriate, including the executive officer’s relative contribution to the Company’s performance during fiscal 2008. 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 is capped at fifty percent of his base salary for 2008. Payment of bonuses (if any) will be made in 2009. Bonuses will be paid in cash in a single lump sum, subject to payroll taxes and tax withholdings.
