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

Winnebago Industries, Inc. (“Company”) recently announced the appointment of two vice presidents, Steve Dummett Vice President of Product Development and Bret Woodson Vice President of Administration. As part of their compensation packages, both Mr. Dummett and Mr. Woodson entered into Executive Change of Control Agreements on January 12, 2015. The Agreements provide for compensation to be paid to the executives in certain situations specified in the Agreements when a change of control occurs. A change of control for purposes of the Agreements means the time when (i) any Person becomes an Acquiring Person, which generally means an acquisition of 20% or more the Company's common stock, or (ii) individuals who shall qualify as Continuing Directors of the Company shall have ceased for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company. In the event a change of control occurs, the Executive shall be entitled to a payment of three times the average aggregate compensation paid to the Executive during the three fiscal years immediately preceding the change of control if the Executive is terminated within three years of the change in control. The Agreements are designed to both retain the services of the Executives during the change of control process and to assure that the executive’s interests are closely aligned with the interests of shareholders. The Agreements do not provide for gross up of any payment made for applicable excise taxes. The foregoing discussion is a summary of the Agreements and is qualified entirely by reference to the terms of the Agreements, copies of which are attached as exhibits 99.1 and 99.2.
