At the September 18, 2012 meeting of the Board of Directors of Griffin Land & Nurseries, Inc. (“Griffin” or “Registrant”), Jonathan P. May was elected to Griffin’s Board of Directors, increasing Griffin’s Board to six members. The Board has determined that Mr. May qualifies as an “independent” director under NASDAQ rules. Mr. May will receive compensation consistent with Griffin’s other non-management directors. Such compensation currently includes an annual cash retainer of $25,000, an annual committee retainer of $5,000 for service on the Audit and Compensation Committees and $2,500 for service on the Nominating Committee, and $1,000 for each Board or committee meeting attended. In addition, upon his election to Griffin’s Board of Directors, Mr. May was granted an option to purchase 1,870 shares of Griffin common stock in accordance with the terms of the Griffin Land & Nurseries, Inc. 1997 Stock Option Plan, as amended.
