Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On April 29, 2015, the Company granted a Restricted Stock Award pursuant to the Company’s 2006 Stock Awards Plan (the “2006 Plan”) to Daniel K. Frierson, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Award consists of 100,000 shares of Restricted Stock and is intended to retain the services of Mr. Frierson for the Company for the next four years. Vesting of the Restricted Shares subject to the Award is contingent on both a Performance Condition and a Service Condition: The Performance Condition requires that the Company’s Cumulative Operating Income, as Adjusted, as of fiscal 2018, must be 440% of the Company’s Operating Income, as Adjusted, for fiscal 2014. The Compensation Committee must certify that the Performance Condition has been met. The Service Condition requires that Mr. Frierson must be continuously employed by the Company or an Affiliated Company with the title and duties of Chairman of the Board of Directors until March 1, 2019. Upon Mr. Frierson's death or disability, the Service Condition will be deemed to have been met, but the Performance Condition must have been met as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter for the Award to vest. Termination of employment for any other reason results in forfeiture of the Award.
At Mr. Frierson's election, 97,500 of the shares subject to the Award are shares of Class B Common Stock. In accordance with the 2006 Plan, the shares subject to the Award are issued, but not delivered, to Mr. Frierson during the vesting period, and may be voted by Mr. Frierson during such vesting period.
