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

On November 18, 2010, EDGAR Online, Inc. (the “Registrant”) granted John M. Connolly, the Registrant’s Interim President and Chief Executive Officer, as compensation, 258,541 restricted shares of the Registrant’s common stock which vest six months from the date of grant. The Registrant also granted Diana Bourke, the Registrant’s Chief Operations Officer, as compensation, 300,000 stock options of the Registrant’s common stock which vest in three tranches commencing on the first anniversary of the date of grant.

On November 18, 2010, the Registrant’s stockholders approved the adoption of amendments to the Registrant’s 2005 Stock Award and Incentive Plan (a) to increase the number of shares of common stock available for award under such Plan and (b) to increase the limitation on the amount of awards that may be granted to any one participant in a given year in order to qualify awards as “performance-based” compensation not subject to the limitation on deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. Such Plan, as amended, is described in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 20, 2010.
