On January 17, 2012, the independent members of the Board of Directors of the Financial Engines, Inc.

Maggioncalda, and an increase in base salary of 2%, to $258,060, for the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Raymond J. Sims. The independent members of the Board also approved the NEOs’ targets under the Company’s executive cash incentive plan, which are expressed as a percent of base salary and which pay out depending upon achievement of pre-determined metrics under the bonus plan.

The bonus plan is based upon the Company’s fiscal year, while the base salary increases are scheduled to take effect on April 1, 2012.
