Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Amendment to the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan.

On October 9, 2006 the Board of Directors of Hyperion Solutions Corporation (the "Company") approved amendments to the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Amended Plan"), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and on November 15, 2006, at the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders, the stockholders approved the Amended Plan. The amendments:

(1) increased the number of shares reserved for issuance by 1,500,000 shares;

(2) approved two administrative amendments that (1) clarified that Stock Awards that must vest completely over a specified time frame from the date of grant (e.g., a minimum of three years in the case of shares that vest based upon continued service) may begin vesting immediately from the date of grant so long as the total vesting period for the entire grant, complies with the specified requirement; and (2) clarified the Board’s intent to make the 2004 Plan’s antidilution provisions mandatory in the event of a change in capital structure. Shareholder approval was neither required nor sought for these administrative changes; and

(3) approved amendments to (1) use the additional 1,500,000 shares for any type of Award (e.g., Stock Award, Option) under the 2004 Plan, and (2) ensure that certain payments to employees under the 2004 Plan qualify as "performance-based compensation" pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. In order to ensure that awards granted under the 2004 Plan constitute qualified performance-based compensation eligible for such exceptions for purposes of Section 162(m), the amendments approved by the Board (i) limit the amount of cash awards available for grant to any employee under the 2004 Plan to a maximum of $5,000,000 per fiscal year of the Company, and (ii) limit the amount of restricted stock awards available for grant to any one employee under the 2004 Plan to a maximum of $500,000 per fiscal year of the Company.
