Item 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

Amendment to Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy

On August 24, 2006, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Saba Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), unanimously approved a change to the compensation policy for non-employee directors of the Board (the “Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy”), which had previously been approved by the Board on March 29, 2006. Effective August 24, 2006, a Board member who is not an employee of the Company is eligible to receive an annual grant of a stock option to purchase up to 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, except that if such option is the first option such Board member has received from the Company for his or her services as a Board member, then such option shall be for 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.

A summary of the Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy, as amended, is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

Option Grant to Dow R. Wilson

On August 24, 2006, the Board unanimously approved a grant of an option (the “Option”) to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock of the Company, to Dow R. Wilson, a director of the Company elected to the Board on August 24, 2006, pursuant to the terms of the Company’s 2000 Stock Incentive Plan and in accordance with the Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy. The Option shall vest over four years, with 1/4 of the Option vesting on the first anniversary of the date of the grant of the Option, and with 1/48 of the Option vesting monthly thereafter. The exercise price of the Option is the amount equal to the Nasdaq Global Market closing price per share of common stock of the Company as August 24, 2006.
