SECTION 1 – REGISTRANT’S BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS

 

Item 1.01

Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On August 9, 2005, Iomega Corporation disclosed in its second quarter 2005 Form 10-Q, filed with the SEC, that Sean P. Burke, Executive Vice President, Consumer Solutions and Operations, would transition out of Iomega and that his employment would terminate on August 30, 2005.

 

Subsequently, Iomega Corporation entered into a Separation Agreement and General Release with Mr. Burke, effective September 7, 2005.

Under the terms of the Agreement and Release, Iomega Corporation will pay Mr. Burke a total special severance payment of $275,000, less federal, state and other withholdings, to be paid in bi-weekly increments over approximately 11 months. Iomega Corporation will also pay him a lump sum of $11,915.86, less federal, state and other withholdings, which is equivalent to the cost to extend his current medical benefits under COBRA for an eleven-month period.

Iomega will provide executive outplacement services to Mr. Burke as determined by Iomega.
