Item 5.02(e) Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

2008 Incentive Compensation

On March 28, 2008, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of FTI Consulting, Inc. (“FTI”) designated the participants, (including FTI’s President and Chief Executive Officer, executive Chairman of the Board, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Executive Vice President and Chief Development Officer and Senior Vice President and General Counsel), approved performance goals and individual target awards, and established subjective criteria that may be considered by the Compensation Committee to reduce but not increase any target award, for the 2008 plan year pursuant to the FTI Consulting, Inc. Incentive Compensation Plan. FTI’s Incentive Compensation Plan provides for the establishment of objectively determinable performance goals that may be based on one of more of the following criteria: earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, stock price, earnings per share, earnings per share before stock option expense, net earnings, operating or other earnings, revenues, net cash flow, financial return ratios, return on assets, stockholder return, return on equity, growth in assets and market share or strategic business criteria consisting of one or more objectives meeting specified revenue goals, market penetration goals, geographic business expansion goals, or goals relating to acquisitions or strategic partnerships. For 2008, the performance goals set by the Compensation Committee are based on company-wide earnings per share (“EPS”). The Compensation Committee also authorized objective adjustments to reduce the EPS performance goal and/or adjust the calculation of actual earnings per share for certain events (if any of such events should occur during 2008) for the sole purpose of determining if a performance goal has been achieved. If the Compensation Committee determines that an objective performance goal (as adjusted) has been achieved, each of the participants for 2008 would be entitled to receive the corresponding target bonus amount, subject to reduction in the Compensation Committee’s discretion based on the subjective individual and company performance criteria established by the Compensation Committee.
