Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On October 21, 2005, Franklin Covey Co. (the Company) announced that it had given notice to the shareholders of its Series A Preferred Stock for the redemption of $10.0 million, or approximately 400,000 shares, of currently outstanding Series A Preferred Stock. The Company’s required 15 business day redemption notice was dated October 21, 2005 for shareholders of record on that date and provides for a $25 per share redemption of preferred stock on November 11, 2005 on a pro-rata basis.

The Company also announced that it intends to seek shareholder approval to amend its articles of incorporation to extend the period during which it has the right to redeem the outstanding preferred stock at 100 percent of the liquidation preference, or $25 per share plus accrued dividends. The amendment would extend the current redemption deadline from March 8, 2006 to December 31, 2006. It would also provide for the right to extend the redemption period for an additional year to December 31, 2007, if another $10.0 million of preferred stock is redeemed before December 31, 2006. Knowledge Capital, an entity which currently holds in excess of 90 percent of the preferred stock outstanding and approximately 21 percent of the common stock voting power, on an as-converted basis, has signed an agreement to vote in favor of the proposal to extend the redemption period. The Company currently has approximately 2.3 million shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding.
