(e)              On June 12, 2008, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Ulticom, Inc. (the “Company”) established annual cash and equity incentive target awards for the Chief Executive Officer and the Senior Vice Presidents for 2008. The target cash awards are determined by multiplying the executive’s base salary by a percentage based on such executive’s level of responsibility. The target cash award for (i) the Chief Executive Officer is 75% of base salary and (ii) each of the Senior Vice Presidents is 50% of base salary. The potential cash payout to an executive ranges from 0% to 150% of such executive’s target cash award. The target equity award for (a) the Chief Executive Officer is 70,000 restricted shares, (b) the Chief Financial Officer is 30,000 restricted shares and (c) each of the other Senior Vice Presidents is 20,000 restricted shares. The potential restricted stock grant to an executive ranges from 0% to 150% of such executive's target equity award. All equity awards will be issued pursuant to the Company’s 2005 Stock Incentive Compensation Plan.

On June 12, 2008, the Committee also approved annual revenue, operating income and individual goals as the primary metrics that it will consider in granting cash and equity incentive awards to the Chief Executive Officer and Senior Vice Presidents. While the Committee sets target awards, payout ranges and performance criteria, the Committee has the discretion to adjust any award to take into account additional factors it deems relevant, including leadership skills or other factors that occur during the performance year.
