Item 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On March 9, 2006, the Board of Directors of CDI Corp. approved an Executive Stock Purchase Opportunity Program under which certain executives of the company will be given the opportunity to acquire shares of Time-Vested Deferred Stock if they purchase shares of CDI common stock.
To be eligible to participate in this program, an executive must:  (1) be employed in one of the following officer positions:  Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice President-Chief Financial Officer, Senior Vice President-General Counsel, Senior Vice President-Human Resources or president of one of the CDI's United States business units; (2) be subject to mandatory deferrals of cash bonuses under the company's Stock Purchase Plan; and (3) be subject to CDI stock ownership requirements of at least a two-times his or her base salary.
Under this program, for each share of CDI common stock purchased by an eligible executive during a 20-day period (up to either 10,000 or 20,000 shares, depending on the executive's position with the company), the participant will be granted 0.4 shares of Time-Vested Deferred Stock under the company's 2004 Omnibus Stock Plan.  Twenty percent of these shares of Deferred Stock will vest each year over five years following the purchase so long as the participant retains ownership of all of the underlying common stock.  If at any time during the five-year vesting period the participant sells or transfers any of the underlying shares, then the remaining unvested shares of Deferred Stock will be forfeited.
Executives who have previously received a stock purchase opportunity essentially the same as that described in this program are not eligible to participate again.  Of the current executive officers of CDI, the only two individuals who can now participate in this program are Joseph R. Seiders (Senior Vice President-General Counsel) and Cecilia J. Venglarik (Senior Vice President-HR).  Other eligible persons who are not executive officers of the company are expected to participate in the program.
