Item 5.02. Departure of Directors of Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On January 31, 2008, Immunomedics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Dr. David M. Goldenberg entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement pertaining to Dr. Goldenberg’s service to the Company as its Chief Scientific Officer and Chief Medical Officer (the “Amendment”). Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, effective July 1, 2007, the Company had agreed to continue to maintain certain existing insurance arrangements on the life of Dr. Goldenberg to which Dr. Goldenberg was the beneficiary (including a split-dollar life insurance policy), in addition to the life insurance policies to which the Company was the beneficiary.

Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company and Dr. Goldenberg, and certain of his affiliates, have mutually agreed for the Company to terminate and sell certain insurance policies to which Dr. Goldenberg or certain of his affiliates were the beneficiaries. The Company has received or expects to receive aggregate cash proceeds of $3,255,000 as a result of the termination and sale of such policies. The Company expects that the termination or sale of these arrangements will reduce the Company’s annual executive compensation expense by $206,000 and will result in an annual cash savings of approximately $256,000. The Company has agreed to reimburse Dr. Goldenberg’s affiliate for tax liabilities incurred in connection with the terminated or sold insurance policies (approximately $460,000). Pursuant to the terms of the Amendment, the Company is no longer required to maintain any life insurance for the benefit of Dr. Goldenberg or his affiliates. The Company believes that the remaining key person life insurance policies that it holds on the life of Dr. Goldenberg for an aggregate of $21 million are adequate.
