ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On January 10, 2005, Lightbridge, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Lightbridge" or
the "Company"), announced the appointment of Robert E. Donahue as its President
and Chief Executive Officer.

On January 7, 2005, Lightbridge, Inc. entered into an Employment Agreement with
Mr. Donahue, which provides for payment of an annual base salary of $395,000 and
a bonus of up to 100% of base salary upon achievement of goals and objectives
established annually by the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of
Directors. The Employment Agreement also provides that the Company shall
nominate and recommend to its stockholders the election of Mr. Donahue as a
member of the Company's Board of Directors.

The Employment Agreement provides for two stock option grants, the first for
250,000 shares, and the second for 150,000 shares. Each stock option has an
exercise price of $6.11 per share. The 250,000 share option vests over four
years: 10% on grant, 3.75% per quarter during year one, and 6.25% per quarter
during years two through four. The 150,000 share option vests 1/3 of the shares
upon achievement of each of $12.50, $15.00 and $17.50 average share price within
four years of grant and during Mr. Donahue's employment by the Company.

The Employment Agreement provides for payment of twelve months' salary (plus
specified benefit continuation costs) in the event of Mr. Donahue's termination
without cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement), for one year's
acceleration of the first option above and for the right to continue to exercise
the first and second option above, to the extent each is vested, until 90 days
following the end of the salary continuation period. In the event that within
two years following a change of control(as defined in the Employment
Agreement), Mr. Donahue's employment is terminated without cause or Mr. Donahue
terminates his employment for good reason (as defined in the Employment
Agreement), the Employment Agreement provides for the payment of one and half
times Mr. Donahue's base salary and one and a half times his prior year's bonus,
for acceleration of vesting of any unvested shares under the first option above
and under the 300,000 share option granted to Mr. Donahue in August 2004 and for
payment of specified benefit continuation costs for eighteen months.

On January 7, 2005, Lightbridge, Inc. entered into a Separation Agreement and
Release with Judith Dumont, its former President of Telecommunications
Decisioning Services. The Agreement provides for (i) the termination of Ms.
Dumont's employment effective January 31, 2005, (ii) the payment of Ms. Dumont's
base salary for a period of up to eleven (11) months after the termination of
her employment (iii) outplacement assistance of up to $10,000; (iv) the
extension of the time to exercise any vested options through May 1, 2005; and
(v) certain other benefits and restrictions as set forth in the Agreement.

On January 13, 2005, Lightbridge announced the departure of Judith Dumont,
President of Telecommunications Decisioning Services, effective January 31,
2005.
