Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 26, 2006, the Board of Directors of Lifeline Therapeutics, Inc. (the "Company") approved and adopted the Lifeline Therapeutics, Inc. 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Incentive Plan"). The Incentive Plan provides for the granting of several types of awards to employees and other eligible persons (as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors), including stock options, stock appreciation rights or SARs, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance grants and other awards deemed by the Compensation Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Incentive Plan. A maximum of 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s series A common stock will be authorized to be issued under the Incentive Plan in connection with the grant of awards, subject to certain adjustments described in the Incentive Plan. The Incentive Plan is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by this reference.

Also on September 26, 2006, the Compensation Committee approved a form of Stock Option Agreement (the "Stock Option Agreement") to reflect future grants of stock options to purchase shares of the Company’s series A common stock to employees as participants in the Incentive Plan. The form of Stock Option Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.2 to this report and is incorporated herein by this reference.





Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

In connection with the approval and adoption of the Incentive Plan as described in Item 1.01 above, the Compensation Committee approved the termination of the Company’s 2006 Stock Option Plan (the "Stock Option Plan") as of September 26, 2006. In connection with such termination and subject in all cases to the approval of the grantees, the Compensation Committee also approved the termination and replacement of all awards of stock options made under the Stock Option Plan. The new grants replacing these options made under the Stock Option Plan will be made under the Incentive Plan and will be granted to the same grantees who were awarded options under the Stock Option Plan. These new grants will be on substantially the same terms as the options granted under the Stock Option Plan, including as to number of underlying shares and exercise price. In addition, these new option grants will vest on the same dates as the existing options and the expiration dates will be the same under the new option grants as under the existing options. The Stock Option Plan was filed as Exhibit 10.09 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form SB-2/A filed on February 6, 2006.
