The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved an Executive Restricted Stock Retention Incentive program for the Company’s six-month transition period from July 4, 2011 through January 1, 2012, as previously disclosed in the Form 8-K filed on August 9, 2011.  The approval was granted pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Incentive Plan of Magnetek, Inc. (the “2004 Plan”) utilizing restricted stock award grants to certain designated management employees of the Company, including the following executive officers of the Company: Peter M. McCormick, President and Chief Executive Officer, Mary J. Schwenner, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Hungsun S. Hui, Vice President Operations, Michael J. Stauber, Vice President, Corporate Controller and Chief Accounting Officer and Scott S. Cramer, Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary.  The grant date of the restricted stock awards is August 22, 2011.  In general, the number of shares of restricted stock for the retention-based awards that each person will receive in the aggregate will be based upon a percentage of base salary in effect at the commencement of the transition period (in the range of 33% to 85%), further allocated by tier by weighted percentage (in the range of 50% to 65%) and weighted for the six-month transition period with a minimum award of 10,000 shares. Vesting of the retention-based awards is a three-year cliff vesting.
