ITEM 5.02. DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS.

(e) Certain executive officers of Mandalay Media, Inc. (the “Company”), including, among others, Mr. James Lefkowitz, President of the Company and Mr. Ian Aaron, President of Twistbox Entertainment, Inc., the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, and other senior employees (the “Executives”) have agreed to reduce their salaries for a period of one year, with the exception of Mr. Aaron who agreed to reduce his salary from August 8, 2008 through February 12, 2010, in exchange for the issuance of shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”).  The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) approved the issuance of the Shares pursuant to the Company’s 2007 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Plan at a purchase price of $0.0001 per share in connection with such salary reductions. The Board authorized the issuance of an aggregate of 938,697 Shares as of the date each such Executive agrees to the salary reduction (the “Grant Date”).  In connection therewith, on March 16, 2009, the Board granted Mr. Lefkowitz 37,500 Shares and Mr. Aaron, 504,218 Shares. The Shares granted to Mr. Lefkowitz and 350,360 of the Shares granted to Mr. Aaron are subject to forfeiture to the Company if such Executive terminates his position with the Company prior to one year from the Grant Date, and such Shares become fully vested one year from the Grant Date or upon the occurrence of a change-in-control of the Company. The remainder of Mr. Aaron’s shares were fully vested on the Grant Date. All such Shares granted to the Executives may not be sold or transferred for a period of one year from the Grant Date.
