Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(e) On June 3, 2008, the Compensation Committee of ValueClick, Inc.'s (the "Company") Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee") approved the granting of restricted stock awards under the Company's 2002 Stock Incentive Plan to its executive officers and Board of Directors. Under the terms of the Notice of Restricted Stock Bonus Grant for Employees (the "Restricted Stock Agreement"), attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, the shares granted shall commence vesting on June 3, 2008 and will vest over a four year period for the Company's executive officers or a two year period for the Company's Board of Directors. If the employment of any recipient of a restricted stock grant terminates for any reason, the Company shall automatically reacquire any unvested shares without any cost to the Company. In addition to the foregoing vesting schedule, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, one hundred percent of the shares shall immediately vest. A "Change in Control" for such purpose shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events:

(i) a merger, consolidation or other reorganization approved by the Company’s stockholders, unless securities representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of the voting securities of the successor corporation are immediately thereafter beneficially owned, directly or indirectly and in substantially the same proportion, by the persons who beneficially owned the Company’s outstanding voting securities immediately prior to such transaction, or

(ii) the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets in complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or

(iii) the acquisition, directly or indirectly, by any person or related group of persons (other than the Company or a person that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Company), of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of the 1934 Act) of securities possessing more than fifty percent (50%) of the total combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding securities pursuant to a tender or exchange offer made directly to the Company’s stockholders.
