Item 1.01. Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.

In connection with its annual review of executive compensation, on June 14, 2006, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Immunomedics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), based upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board, approved the following changes to the compensation of Gerard G. Gorman, Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer of the Company: (i) change in title to Senior Vice President, Finance and Business Development and Chief Financial Officer; (ii) increase in annual salary to $250,290 per year; (iii) a cash bonus of $150,000; and (iv) a grant of options, in accordance with the Company 2002 Stock Option Plan (the “Stock Option Plan”), to purchase 75,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.63 (the closing price of the Company’s common stock, as listed on the Nasdaq National Market on June 14, 2006).

Additionally, the Compensation Committee of the Board advised the Board that, in light of recent developments in the area of executive compensation, the Compensation Committee of the Board deems it advisable and in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to engage an independent third-party consultant to review and recommend, among other things, the compensation of executive officers of similarly situated companies to ascertain current market practices and trends in such executive officer compensation. Based in part upon the information received from the independent consultant, the Compensation Committee will address the compensation of Cynthia L. Sullivan, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Dr. David M. Goldenberg, the Chairman of the Board and Chief Strategic Officer of the Company. In the meantime, the Board, based upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board, extended the term of the current employment agreement between the Company and Ms. Sullivan, set to expire on June 30, 2006, to December 31, 2006. Per the terms of the employment agreement, Ms. Sullivan was awarded a cash bonus of $104,000 (an amount equal to 20% of her current base salary) and granted options, in accordance with the Company’s Stock Option Plan, to purchase 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.63 (the closing price of the Company’s common stock, as listed on the Nasdaq National Market on June 14, 2006).

Additionally, the Board, based upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board, awarded Dr. Goldenberg, per the terms of his employment agreement with the Company, a cash bonus of $80,000 (an amount equal to 20% of his current base salary) and granted options, in accordance with the Company’s Stock Option Plan, to purchase 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.63 (the closing price of the Company’s common stock, as listed on the Nasdaq National Market on June 14, 2006).
