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

(e) On December 8, 2010, at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of ModusLink Global Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”), the Company’s stockholders adopted the ModusLink Global Solutions, Inc. 2010 Incentive Award Plan (the “2010 Plan”). The 2010 Plan, which is administered by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, allows the Company to makes grants of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, deferred stock, dividend equivalent rights, performance awards and stock payments to the Company’s employees, directors and consultants.

The 2010 Plan allows for the issuance of up to (i) 5,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company plus (ii) any shares of Common Stock that are subject to awards under the Company’s 2004 Stock Incentive Plan, 2002 Non-Officer Employee Stock Incentive Plan or 2000 Stock Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Prior Plans”) which after December 8, 2010 are forfeited, lapse unexercised or are settled in cash and not issued under the Prior Plans. No additional awards will be granted under the Prior Plans; however, awards granted under the Prior Plans before stockholder approval of the 2010 Plan will remain outstanding in accordance with their terms.

A more complete description of the terms of the 2010 Plan can be found in “Proposal No. 2 – Approval of ModusLink Global Solutions, Inc. 2010 Incentive Award Plan” (pages 12 through 18) in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 26, 2010. The foregoing descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the 2010 Plan filed as an exhibit hereto, which exhibit is incorporated herein by reference.
