Item 5.02 Departure of Director.
Effective February 19, 2011, Martin Schlatter resigned from the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Matthews International Corporation (the “Company”). The resignation was not due to any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies or practices. Through his professional responsibilities, Mr. Schlatter recently relocated to Europe, which made his continued participation on the Board difficult and impractical. Accordingly, the Board has agreed to accept Mr. Schlatter’s resignation. The Company thanks Mr. Schlatter for his many contributions to the Company and wishes him continued success in his future endeavors.
