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

(e) On February 28, 2012, the Compensation Committee of The InterGroup Corporation (the “Company”) authorized a grant of 90,000 stock options to the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, John V. Winfield. The grant of stock options was made pursuant to, and consistent with, the Company’s 2010 Omnibus Employee Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”) which was approved by the Company’s shareholders on February 24, 2010.

The stock options have a term of ten years, expiring on February 27, 2022, with an exercise price of $19.77 per share. In accordance with the terms of the 2010 Plan, the exercise price was based on 100% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock as determined by reference to the closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the NASDAQ Capital Market on the date of grant. The stock options are subject to both time and performance based vesting requirements, each of which must be met before the options are fully vested and eligible to be exercised. Under the time vesting requirements, the options vest over a period of five years with 18,000 options vesting upon each one-year anniversary of the date of grant. Under the performance vesting requirements, options will vest in increments of 18,000 shares upon each increase of $2.00 or more in the fair market value of the Company’s common stock above the exercise price of the options. To satisfy this performance requirement, the common stock must trade at that increased level for a period of at least ten trading days during any one quarter.
