Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 3, 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of BroadVision, Inc. (the "Company") approved the framework for an employee profit sharing plan ("EPSP") in which the Company's executive officers are eligible to participate. The EPSP has been established by the Company in an effort to retain key personnel. The framework is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this filing and the content of the exhibit is incorporated herein by reference.

The Compensation Committee also approved awards of fully vested shares of BroadVision common stock to each of the Company's outside directors, pursuant to the Company's standard award forms and in the following amounts: David L. Anderson, 24,000 shares; James D. Dixon, 36,000 shares; Robert Lee, 24,000 shares; Roderick C. McGeary, 24,000 shares; and T. Michael Nevens, 48,000 shares.

In addition, the Compensation Committee approved the award of a stock option to acquire 120,000 shares, at an exercise price of $0.60 per share, of BroadVision common stock to William E. Meyer, the Company's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. The option grant is to be made pursuant to the Company's standard award form, and vests in 24 monthly installments from the date of grant. The Compensation Committee approved a compensation package for Mr. Meyer pursuant to which (i) Mr. Meyer is guaranteed a bonus in the amount of $22,500 for each of the first two quarters of calendar year 2006, (ii) Mr. Meyer is eligible for a bonus of up to $22,500 under the Company's EPSP and based on goals to be determined, for each of the third and fourth quarters of calendar year 2006 and (iii) Mr. Meyer is eligible for a bonus, in an amount up to $20,000, upon the filing of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K with the Commission if the Form 10-K is filed by certain target dates. All bonus payments described above are contingent on Mr. Meyer remaining employed by the Company as of the end of each relevant quarter (with respect to the quarterly bonus payments) and as of the date on which the Form 10-K is filed (with respect to the 10-K filing bonus).

The contents of Item 3.02 are incorporated herein by reference.
