Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Effective May 16, 2008, the 2005 Stock and Incentive Plan (the "2005 Plan") of Illumina, Inc. (the "Company") was amended to increase the maximum number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 2005 Plan by 1,200,000, from 15,142,358 shares to 16,342,358 shares. The Company’s board of directors approved the amendment on March 27, 2008, subject to stockholder approval, which was obtained on May 16, 2008.

The 2005 Plan is administered by the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors and was established to attract and retain personnel, to provide additional incentive to service providers and to promote the success of the Company’s business. Stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights and other similar types of awards (including other awards under which recipients are not required to pay any purchase price or exercise price, such as phantom stock rights), as well as cash awards may be granted under the 2005 Plan. Non-statutory stock options and stock awards may be granted under the 2005 Plan to the Company’s or its parent’s or subsidiaries’ employees, directors (including non-employee directors) and consultants. Incentive stock options and cash awards may be granted under the 2005 Plan only to employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

The above description of the amended 2005 Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2005 Plan, a copy of which the Company intends to include as an exhibit to its next Quarterly Report to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
