For the other executive officers, the cash incentive compensation will be based: (a) 35% on CDI's RONA in 2008, (b) 15% on CDI's revenue in 2008, (c) 20% on meeting the budget for the executive's department, and (d) 30% on the achievement of individual objectives established for each executive. For parts (a), (b) and (c) above, payout scales were established, providing for a threshold level of performance (below which no cash incentive compensation would be earned), a target level of performance (at which the target cash incentive compensation amount would be earned), and a cap (the maximum level of performance, above which no additional cash incentive compensation could be earned). The maximum payout with respect to parts (a), (b) and (c) is 200% of the target (however, in accordance with the CEO's employment agreement, his overall cash incentive compensation payout is limited to 120% of his base salary). In order for an executive to earn in excess of his target cash incentive compensation with respect to part (a), CDI must meet or exceed its net income goal.

However, amounts in excess of 100% can only be earned if CDI's 2008 net income goal is met or exceeded. <p>Any shares of CDI stock earned by an executive in connection with the Company's 2008 performance will vest one-half in March 2009 and one-half in March 2010.<p>AWARD OF PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK TO THE CEO<p>Under his employment agreement, Roger Ballou is entitled to receive up to 15,000 shares of restricted stock in 2008 based on his achievement of the 2007 performance goals established by the Committee. Since he exceeded his 2007 goal (which was based on CDI's RONA), the Committee decided on March 3, 2008 to award Mr. Ballou 15,000 shares of restricted stock.

Item 5.02.    Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
DETERMINATION OF 2007 CASH INCENTIVE COMPENSATION FOR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
On March 3, 2008, the Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors of CDI Corp. (the "Company" or "CDI") approved the following cash incentive compensation to executive officers of the Company with regard to 2007:
Roger Ballou (President and Chief Executive Officer) - $768,750

Cecilia Venglarik (Senior Vice President-Human Resources) - $189,420
Joseph Seiders (Senior Vice President and General Counsel) - $165,476
2008 CASH INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PROGRAM FOR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
On March 3, 2008, the Committee approved the 2008 cash incentive compensation program and the target level of cash incentive compensation for each of the Company's executive officers. The 2008 target cash incentive compensation, which would be payable if 100% of the goals are met, are:
Roger Ballou - $600,000 (80% of his base salary for 2008)
Mark Kerschner - $167,500 (50% of his base salary)
Cecilia Venglarik - $117,000 (45% of her base salary)
Joseph Seiders - $132,300 (45% of his base salary)
The CEO's 2008 cash incentive compensation will be based: (a) 40% on CDI's return on net assets (RONA) in 2008, (b) 20% on CDI's revenue in 2008, (c) 10% on CDI's acquisitions during 2008 (if any), and (d) 30% on the achievement of individual objectives for the CEO. For the other executive officers, the cash incentive compensation will be based: (a) 35% on CDI's RONA in 2008, (b) 15% on CDI's revenue in 2008, (c) 20% on meeting the budget for the executive's department, and (d) 30% on the achievement of individual objectives established for each executive. For parts (a), (b) and (c) above, payout scales were established, providing for a threshold level of performance (below which no cash incentive compensation would be earned), a target level of performance (at which the target cash incentive compensation amount would be earned), and a cap (the maximum level of performance, above which no additional cash incentive compensation could be earned). The maximum payout with respect to parts (a), (b) and (c) is 200% of the target (however, in accordance with the CEO's employment agreement, his overall cash incentive compensation payout is limited to 120% of his base salary). In order for an executive to earn in excess of his target cash incentive compensation with respect to part (a), CDI must meet or exceed its net income goal. The maximum payout with respect to part (d) is 100% of the target level for that component.
2008 GRANTS OF PERFORMANCE-CONTINGENT DEFERRED STOCK ("PCDS")
On March 3, 2008, the Committee approved the following awards of PCDS:
Mark Kerschner - 5,000 shares
Cecilia Venglarik - 2,500 shares
Joseph Seiders - 2,500 shares
The PCDS awards entitle each recipient to receive all or a portion of the specified number of shares of CDI stock based on CDI's achievement of established levels of RONA in 2008.  The principal change in the PCDS program from 2007 to 2008 is that executives will have the opportunity to earn shares of CDI stock in an amount up to 200% of their PCDS awards if the Company's 2008 RONA target is exceeded. However, amounts in excess of 100% can only be earned if CDI's 2008 net income goal is met or exceeded.
Any shares of CDI stock earned by an executive in connection with the Company's 2008 performance will vest one-half in March 2009 and one-half in March 2010.
AWARD OF PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK TO THE CEO
Under his employment agreement, Roger Ballou is entitled to receive up to 15,000 shares of restricted stock in 2008 based on his achievement of the 2007 performance goals established by the Committee. Since he exceeded his 2007 goal (which was based on CDI's RONA), the Committee decided on March 3, 2008 to award Mr. Ballou 15,000 shares of restricted stock. Those shares vest one-half on December 31, 2008 and one-half on December 31, 2009.
