Item 8.01                     Other Events.

 

On September 14, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of TTM Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) approved accelerating the vesting of approximately 211,000 unvested, “out-of-the-money” stock options awarded to employees, officers and non-employee directors with an exercise price greater than $8.00.  The accelerated options have exercise prices ranging from $8.00 to $9.75.  The closing  price of the Company’s common stock on September 14, 2005 was $7.34 per share.

 

The Company accelerated these options in advance of the effective date of, and in anticipation of the earnings effect of, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004) “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”). The accelerated vesting of these options will enable the Company to avoid recognizing future compensation expense associated with the accelerated stock options upon the adoption of SFAS 123R.  The Company expects the acceleration to reduce the stock option expense it would otherwise be required to record beginning in 2006 by approximately $1 million, on a pre-tax basis.
