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

On August 5, 2009, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) of Intellon Corporation (the “Company”) approved certain compensation related items for the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and its other named executive officers as further described below, including: (i) awards under the Company’s Annual Cash Incentive Plan (the “ACIP”) for performance during the first half of 2009; (ii) the approval of company performance goals under the ACIP for the second half of 2009; and (iii) the approval of amendments to the ACIP.

Under the Company’s ACIP, each participant, including each of the Company’s named executive officers, is assigned an at-plan award target equal to a percentage of the employee’s base salary during the plan period, with part of the award target based on the achievement of company goals and part based on the achievement of individual goals. The entire ACIP bonus opportunity for Charles Harris and Rick Furtney is based on the achievement of company goals. For the Company’s other named executive officers, 75% of their ACIP bonus opportunity is based on the achievement of company goals, and 25% is based on the achievement of individual goals.

On August 5, 2009, the Compensation Committee approved award payments under the ACIP for the January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009 plan period. For that plan period, the Compensation Committee awarded 109.70% credit for the achievement of the established company goals, including the achievement of certain goals above plan. In connection with this assessment, the Compensation Committee exercised its discretion to award 100% credit for partial achievement of a company goal for which the achievement criteria was substantially modified by the Company during the plan period. The Compensation Committee also deferred a portion of the payout for above-plan company goal performance until the end of the following plan period (subject to achievement of a minimum company goal performance threshold during the following plan period). After giving effect to this deferral, the net credit awarded for the achievement of the established company goals for the January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009 plan period is 105.85%.

With respect to the individual goals, the Compensation Committee awarded Brian McGee, William Earnshaw and William Casby 100%, 100% and 72.50% credit, respectively, for the achievement of their individual goals. The Company will provide more detailed disclosure of the foregoing in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of its annual proxy statement for the required period.

The target cash incentive awards and the amounts actually earned by each named executive officer under the ACIP for the plan period of January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009 are as follows:

On August 5, 2009, the Compensation Committee also approved the company performance goals under the ACIP for the plan period of July 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009. For that plan period, the company goals are as follows: 60% will be based on achieving targeted quarterly revenue and gross profit margins, 10% will be based on achieving specified engineering milestones, 20% will be based on achieving select customer design wins and positioning Company products in targeted markets and 10% will be based on completing certain market development strategies. The Compensation Committee has also approved the target awards for the Company’s executive officers under the ACIP for the second half of 2009. The target awards are unchanged from the first half of 2009 and are as follows: 65% of base salary for Mr. Harris, 50% of base salary for Mr. Furtney, 40% of base salary for Mr. McGee, 40% of base salary for Mr. Earnshaw, and 12% of base salary for Mr. Casby.

Furthermore, on August 5, 2009, the Compensation Committee approved amendments to the ACIP. In general, the amendments to the ACIP: (i) provide that a participant must be employed with the Company through the date the award under the ACIP is paid for a given plan period in order for the participant to receive the award for that plan period; and (ii) clarify that the Compensation Committee shall have the right, in the Compensation Committee’s sole discretion, to among other things: (a) establish the appropriate split between the achievement of company goals and the achievement of individual goals for the Company’s officers under the ACIP, (b) establish minimum performance requirements under the ACIP, (c) defer all or part of the award for above-plan company goal performance until the end of the following plan period (subject to achievement of a minimum company goal performance threshold during the following plan period), and (d) terminate the ACIP in its entirety.
