Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On February 15, 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) of Theragenics Corporation (“Theragenics” or the “Company”) recommended, and the Board of Directors approved, the following reportable actions relating to executive compensation. Actions taken with respect to the compensation of M. Christine Jacobs, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, were recommended by the Compensation Committee and approved by the independent Directors of the Company.

 
Cash bonuses payable under the 2005 Short-Term Incentive Program

Each Executive Officer had an individual target bonus opportunity equal to a percentage of base salary as of December 31, 2005. Target bonus amounts ranged from 35% to 50% of base salary, with a minimum of 0% and a maximum of 70% to 100%. Sixty percent (60%) of the bonus opportunity was based on revenue and earnings per share (“EPS”) goals, and forty percent (40%) was based on individual performance goals. Based on the assessment of 2005 performance under the 2005 Short-Term Incentive Program, the following cash bonuses are payable to each Executive Officer:

As previously reported, the goals originally established in early 2005 were revised to reflect the Company’s acquisition of CP Medical completed May 6, 2005 and the impact of the restructuring announced August 11, 2005. In addition, a bonus in the amount of $40,000 for Mr. Smith was approved, in recognition of his significant contributions to the Company and his accomplishments during 2005 beyond those contemplated in his 2005 Short-Term Incentive Program, including his assumption of duties as interim Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of the Company in addition to fulfilling his responsibilities for strategy and business development.


2006 Short-Term Incentive Program

Under the 2006 Short-Term Incentive Program, each named Executive Officer will have a cash bonus opportunity based on financial and individual performance. The individual target bonus opportunity for Ms. Jacobs is 50% of base salary, with a minimum bonus opportunity of 0% and a maximum bonus opportunity of 100%. The individual target bonus opportunity for the other Executive Officers is 35% of base salary, with a minimum bonus opportunity of 0% and a maximum opportunity of 70%.

For each named Executive Officer, eighty percent (80%) of the bonus opportunity will be measured against established revenue and earnings per share goals, and twenty percent (20%) will be measured against individual performance goals. With respect to Ms. Jacobs, her individual performance goals were reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee and the independent Directors of the Company. For the other Executive Officers, individual performance goals were determined by the Chief Executive Officer and reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors.


2006 Long-Term Equity Incentive Program

Each named Executive Officer was granted the following Performance Restricted Stock Rights for the January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2008 performance period:

These Performance Restricted Stock Rights were granted under the Theragenics Corporation 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

The number of shares of common stock to be issued for each Performance Restricted Stock Right will range from a minimum of thirty percent (30%) of the Performance Restricted Stock Rights granted to a maximum of 200% of the Performance Restricted Stock Rights granted. This determination will be based (i) fifty percent (50%) on the Company’s cumulative revenue and earnings per share for the period 2006 to 2008, relative to its strategic objectives over the same period, and (ii) fifty percent (50%) on the subjective discretion of the Committee that administers the Plan. The Committee will consider qualitative and quantitative factors deemed appropriate in determining the subjective portion of the award.

If employment of the Executive Officer with Theragenics or an affiliate is terminated before December 31, 2008 due to death, disability, or is terminated by the employer without cause, the Executive Officer will be entitled to a pro rata portion of the shares of common stock determined in accordance with the terms of the award. If employment is terminated for any other reason, before December 31, 2008 (unless a change in control as defined in the rights agreement occurs before then), the Performance Restricted Stock Rights will be forfeited. If a change in control occurs before December 31, 2008, one share of common stock will be issuable for each Performance Restricted Stock Right if the Executive Officer is employed by Theragenics or an affiliate as of the date of a change in control.
