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


(e)  
On July 15, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share-based compensation plan that will allow certain members of the Company’s executive team and other members of senior management, including direct-office general managers and leaders of the company’s practices, to receive shares of the Company’s common stock if price targets are met within a specified time period.  The Company believes that this program will increase shareholder value as shares will only be awarded to participants if the Company’s share price increases significantly over time.  The award has a price target of $17.00 per share.  Participants may earn 100 percent of the award if the share price target is met within three years of the grant date and only 50 percent of the award if the share price target is met within five years of the grant date.  If the share price is not met within five years of the grant date, no shares are awarded.

Under the terms of this share-based compensation award, the target number of shares to be received by the Company’s officers is as follows:
 
M. Sean Covey
44,118
Shawn D. Moon
44,118
C. Todd Davis
26,471
Stephen D. Young
24,632
 
                           The total amount of the award to all participants, including the above-listed officers, is 308,569 shares.

(b)  
As Stephen R. Covey, Vice Chairman and Board Member of Franklin Covey Co., approaches his 80th year, he is increasingly experiencing age-related health challenges. As a consequence, on July 20, 2011, it was determined he will not stand for re-election to the Board of Directors of Franklin Covey Co. (the Company) at the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders expected to be held in January 2012.  A statement from Stephen R. Covey to the Company regarding his health and future plans has been filed as exhibit 99.1 attached hereto.
