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

On December 17, 2008, Immunomedics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), amended and restated its employment agreements with each of Ms. Cynthia L. Sullivan, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Dr. David M. Goldenberg, Chief Scientific Officer, Chief Medical Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, and the change of control and severance agreement with Mr. Gerard G. Gorman, Senior Vice President, Finance and Business Development and Chief Financial Officer (each an “Officer” and together the “Officers”) (the “Amended Agreements”) in order to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Amended Agreements do not materially affect the scope or amount of benefits the Officers are entitled to receive under their respective agreements.

Section 409A changed the income tax treatment of nonqualified deferred compensation and imposed new requirements on both the terms and operation of such compensation. Although Section 409A’s provisions have been in effect since 2005 and employers have been required to operate in good faith since that time, final regulations under Section 409A were not issued until 2007. In order to comply with the final regulations, companies must amend affected nonqualified deferred compensation plans by December 31, 2008 to ensure that they comply with Section 409A and the Section 409A final regulations.

Copies of the Amended Agreements are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3.


Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
