Item 5.02

Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On March 19, 2013, the Compensation and Nominating Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Forrester Research, Inc. (the “Company”) approved an amendment and restatement of the Forrester Research, Inc. Executive Cash Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Committee administers and has final authority on all matters relating to the Plan. All of the Company’s executive officers are eligible to participate in the Plan.

Under the Plan, each participant is assigned an annual target bonus amount. Bonus payouts under the Plan are based on company performance, the level of which is set annually based on a matrix derived from the Company’s approved operating plan for the applicable Plan year, and if so determined by the Committee, modified upward or downward for team performance goals and/or individual performance goals. Bonuses, if any, are determined and paid after the close of each Plan year, but in no event later than March 15 of the succeeding year.

Under the Plan, the Committee has the discretion to approve the payment of additional or alternative cash bonuses to participants.

The preceding description of the Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.
