Director Compensation
All Outside (non-employee) Directors receive annual compensation of $75,000 for the year for service as Directors. The Chairperson of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and the Chairperson of the Compensation and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors each receive an additional $10,000 annual retainer fee.
The Directors can elect to receive all of their annual retainer fees in shares of Common Stock under the Company's 2003 Amended and Restated Stock Option and Incentive Plan. Directors are also reimbursed for travel expenses incurred in connection with Board and Committee meeting attendance.
An Outside Director is a director who is not an employee of the Company or one of its subsidiaries. Robert F. Schneider, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, is a Director of the Company but does not receive compensation for his service as a Director.
Named Executive Officer Compensation

Cash Incentive Compensation
Each of the Named Executive Officers was eligible to participate in the Company's 2010 Profit Sharing Incentive Bonus Plan (the “Plan”) for fiscal year 2014. A long-standing component of the Company's profit sharing incentive bonus plan is that it is linked to the Company's worldwide, group, or business unit performance which adjusts compensation expense as profits change. Under the Plan, cash incentives are accrued annually and paid in five installments over the succeeding fiscal year. Except for provisions relating to retirement, death, permanent disability, and certain other circumstances described in a participant's employment agreement, participants must be actively employed on each payment date to be eligible to receive any unpaid cash incentive installment. The total amount of cash incentives accrued and authorized to be paid to the Named Executive Officers based on the Company's fiscal year 2014 results is listed below. The Named Executive Officers received an installment of 50% of the payment in August 2014, 12.5% was paid in both September 2014 and January 2015, and the remaining portions will be paid in equal installments in April 2015 and June 2015.

Donald W. Van Winkle and Michelle R. Schroeder were also awarded discretionary compensation of $50,000 and $60,000, respectively, in December 2014 in recognition of their efforts with the spin-off of Kimball Electronics.
Stock Compensation
The Named Executive Officers may also receive a variety of stock incentive benefits under the Amended and Restated 2003 Stock Option and Incentive Plan consisting of: restricted stock, restricted share units (“RSU”), unrestricted share grants, incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, and performance units. During August 2013 the Named Executive Officers were awarded grants of performance shares. Performance shares include both an annual performance share (“APS”) award and a long-term performance share (“LTPS”) award with one-fifth (1/5) of the LTPS award vesting annually over the succeeding five-year period.

In December 2014, the Company granted RSUs to each of the Named Executive Officers.

The RSUs accumulate dividends during the vesting periods. With the promotions occurring mid-fiscal year, the first year tranche was pro-rated.

Retirement Plans
The Named Executive Officers participate in a defined contribution, participant-directed retirement plan that all domestic employees are eligible to participate in (the “Retirement Plan”). The Retirement Plan provides for voluntary employee contributions as well as a discretionary Company contribution which is determined annually by the Compensation and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors. Each eligible employee's Company contribution is defined as a percent of eligible compensation, the percent being identical for all eligible employees, including Named Executive Officers. Participant contributions are fully vested immediately, and Company contributions are fully vested after five years of participation. All Named Executive Officers are fully vested. The Retirement Plan is fully funded. For those eligible employees who, under the 1986 Tax Reform Act, are deemed to be highly compensated, their individual Company contribution under the Retirement Plan is reduced. For employees who are eligible, including all Named Executive Officers, there is a nonqualified, Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (“SERP”) in which the Company contributes to the account of each individual an amount equal to the reduction in the contribution under the Retirement Plan arising from the provisions of the 1986 Tax Reform Act. The SERP investment is primarily composed of employee contributions.
