Current Report on Form 8-K

 

ITEM 5.02

DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS.

 

On January 28, 2010, Regis Corporation (“the Company”) entered into an amendment to the employment agreement with Mr. Paul Finkelstein, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  The original employment agreement provided for payment of fifty percent of Mr. Finkelstein’s retirement benefit to be paid in monthly installments to his former spouse, if Mr. Finkelstein died while still employed with the Company or before payment of his retirement benefit.  The amendment retains the benefit to his former spouse and provides that the remaining fifty percent of Mr. Finkelstein’s retirement benefit be paid in a lump sum to his current spouse or other designated beneficiary if Mr. Finkelstein dies while still employed with the Company or before payment of his retirement benefit.  This is consistent with the employment agreements with the Company’s other named executive officers.  The Company has previously purchased life insurance to fund the liability for this benefit and the Company expects the proceeds from this life insurance will exceed the liability for the benefit, as amended.  In addition, the Company will not recognize any expense for financial reporting purposes as a result of this amendment.

 

The information in this Form 8-K shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
