Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

2005 Stock Incentive Plan

     On April 15, 2005, the Board of Directors of Hybridon, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted, subject to stockholder approval, the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”). On June 15, 2005, at the 2005 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2005 Plan.

     Under the 2005 Plan, the Company may issue up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock (subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits and other similar events), $0.001 par value per share, to employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisors of the Company. Award grants under the 2005 Plan may be made in the form of incentive stock options intended to qualify under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, Nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and certain other stock-based awards. The maximum number of shares with respect to which awards may be granted to any participant under the 2005 Plan may not exceed 1,000,000 shares of common stock per calendar year, and the maximum number of shares of common stock with respect to which restricted stock awards and other stock unit awards that either require no purchase by the participant, or that vest on the basis of passage of time alone, that may be granted equals 500,000. The 2005 Plan will be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company.
