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

 

On June 6, 2016, the Compensation Committee of the Company approved an equity grant of 61,855 performance share units to James P. McClure. The grant was approved in recognition of Mr. McClure’s new responsibilities as Chief Operating Officer and to reflect his role in leading the implementation of the Company’s 2020 Vision, which have resulted in numerous and significant changes to the Company’s business and operations since its announcement in September 2015 and which changes will continue through fiscal year 2017. As a result, the Committee rescinded and cancelled the performance share units that were granted to Mr. McClure in January 2015 prior to the announcement of the 2020 Vision and Mr. McClure’s change in position.

 

The new performance share unit award will vest on October 31, 2017 if the Company achieves income from continuing operations before taxes of at least $100 million in fiscal year 2017, as adjusted in accordance with pre-specified provisions. The performance share units granted to Mr. McClure do not contain accelerated vesting in the event of retirement or involuntary termination prior to the vesting date. In the event his employment ends earlier due to his death or disability, unvested performance share units may vest on a prorated basis.
