Item 5.02                      Departure
of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of
Principal Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On
January 25, 2010, Taleo Corporation (the "Company") entered into an amended
employment agreement (the "Employment Agreement") with its principal executive
officer, Michael Gregoire.  The Employment Agreement is effective as
of January 1, 2010.  Mr. Gregoire's Employment Agreement has a 4 year
term, and provides for his service as the Company's President and Chief
Executive Officer.  In addition, pursuant to the terms of the
agreement the Company agrees to nominate Mr. Gregoire to serve as a member of
the Board of Directors of the Company, subject to stockholder
approval.  A summary of certain terms of the Employment Agreement is
below and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Employment Agreement,
which is filed as an exhibit hereto and incorporated by reference
herein.
The
Employment Agreement provides for an annual base salary of USD $500,000 and an
annual target bonus in an amount equal to 110% of Mr. Gregoire's then current
base salary (currently USD $550,000), in each case subject to periodic review
and adjustment.  Mr. Gregoire's bonuses will be determined based upon
the achievement of quarterly and yearly performance goals approved by the
compensation committee of the Company's board of directors.
Under the
Employment Agreement, in the event Mr. Gregoire's employment is terminated by us
without cause or Mr. Gregoire resigns for good reason, as such terms are defined
in the Employment Agreement, Mr. Gregoire will be entitled to receive, subject
to the execution of a release of claims in favor of the Company: (i) a lump sum
prorated bonus payment for any partially completed bonus periods, at an assumed
100% goal achievement rate, (ii) a lump sum payment equal to 150% of his then
current annual base salary, and (iii) reimbursement of COBRA premiums paid by
Mr. Gregoire, provided he elects to continue coverage until the earlier of (1)
eighteen months following termination or resignation, (2) the expiration of
coverage, or (3) the date Mr. Gregoire becomes eligible for substantially
equivalent health insurance in connection with new or
self-employment.  In addition, Mr. Gregoire's outstanding equity
awards will immediately vest or be released from restriction in an amount equal
to the amount that would have vested or been releases if Mr. Gregoire had
completed an additional eighteen months of employment from the date of
termination and Mr. Gregoire will receive a post-termination exercise period of
12 months for his stock options.
Further,
in the event Mr. Gregoire's employment is terminated without cause or Mr.
Gregoire resigns for good reason, sixty days prior to or within eighteen months
following a change of control, as such term is defined in the Employment
Agreement, Mr. Gregoire will be entitled to receive, subject to the execution of
a release of claims in favor of the Company: (i) a lump sum prorated bonus
payment for any partially completed bonus periods, at an assumed 100% goal
achievement rate, (ii) a lump sum payment equal to 150% of his then current
annual base salary, (iii) a lump sum equal to 150% of Mr. Gregoire's then
current target annual bonus, and (iv) reimbursement of COBRA premiums paid by
Mr. Gregoire, provided he elects to continue coverage until the earlier of (1)
18 months following termination or resignation, (2) the expiration of coverage,
or (3) the date Mr. Gregoire becomes eligible for substantially equivalent
health insurance in connection with new or self-employment.  In
addition, all of Mr. Gregoire's outstanding equity awards will vest or be
released from restriction immediately and Mr. Gregoire will receive a
post-termination exercise period of 12 months for his stock
options.
The
Employment Agreement provides for nonsolicitation covenants for 12 months
following a termination or resignation of employment that would result in the
severance payments described above, as well as customary confidentiality
covenants for the term of employment and thereafter.
In the
event that the severance payments and other benefits payable to Mr. Gregoire
under the Employment Agreement constitutes a "parachute payment" under Section
280G of the U.S. tax code and would be subject to the applicable excise tax,
then Mr. Gregoire's severance payments and other benefits will be either (i)
delivered in full or (ii) delivered to such lesser extent which would result in
no portion of such benefits being subject to the excise tax, whichever results
in the receipt by Mr. Gregoire on an after-tax basis of the greatest amount of
benefits.
