Effective July 17, 2015 David W. McCauley, President of LSI Graphic Solutions, notified LSI Industries Inc. ("LSI" or the "Company") of his retirement from the Company.

In connection with his retirement, Mr. McCauley and LSI entered into a Separation Agreement and Release dated July 17, 2015 (the "Separation Agreement") pursuant to which Mr. McCauley agreed to continue his service as President of LSI Graphic Solutions through a date in October 2015 to be mutually agreed upon between Mr. McCauley and LSI, assist LSI in making a successful transition to the next President of LSI Graphic Solutions to be identified, and provide consulting services as may be reasonably requested by the Company's CEO during a consulting period ending June 30, 2016. The Separation Agreement also contains confidentiality and non-compete provisions. As consideration for these services and restrictions, Mr. McCauley will receive $28,000 per month during the consulting period. In addition, Mr. McCauley will receive payment for all of his earned and unused paid time off and certain of Mr. McCauley's share-based awards will vest in full in accordance with LSI's stock incentive plans.
