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

(e) On December 5, 2014, the Compensation and Organization Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors approved the fiscal 2015 performance requirements under the Company’s Annual Incentive Program (the “AIP”), which is part of the Company’s 2007 Omnibus Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”).

The AIP provides for performance-based cash awards to certain of the Company’s employees, including its executive officers. For fiscal 2015 and thereafter until otherwise determined by the Committee, awards will be based on the following performance measures:

Awards will not be made under the AIP unless a designated level of Adjusted EBITDA is achieved. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, impairment charges and depreciation and amortization.

The target award opportunity for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer will be 100% of his or her annual base salary, and the target award opportunity for the Company’s other executive officers will be 50% or 60%, based upon position, of his or her annual base salary. Actual award payouts for the Company’s executive officers can vary from 50% of target awards for achieving or exceeding the threshold performance level to 200% of target awards for achieving the maximum performance level. The AIP is designed to be an “evergreen” annual incentive program for future years.

The description of the AIP is qualified in its entirety by reference to The Pantry, Inc. Annual Incentive Program, as amended, under the Pantry, Inc. 2007 Omnibus Plan, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

On December 5, 2014, the Committee also approved the Form of Award Agreement (Awarding of Performance-Based Cash to Employee) and the Form of Award Agreement (Awarding Performance-Based Restricted Stock to Employee), copies of which are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, relating to performance-based awards under the Omnibus Plan.
