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

(e) (i) On January 26, 2017, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of H.B. Fuller Company (the “Company”) approved changes to the design of the H.B. Fuller Company Management Short-Term Incentive Plan (the “STIP”) applicable to executive officers as attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1. The changes made relating to executive officers were:

a. to eliminate the Superior Stretch performance level and revise the Superior performance level for all metrics in the STIP.

The changes to the STIP will be effective for any short-term incentive awards related to the Company’s 2017 fiscal year and thereafter. The STIP provides an annual performance-based cash incentive opportunity for eligible employees. In general, the STIP design is based on financial metrics. The metrics will vary based on position and will generally include (i) operating income, (ii) organic revenue and (iii) earnings per share. Each metric will have a target level of performance. Threshold and superior performance levels will be set for each metric. Payout will be determined for each metric based on performance relative to target. The target, threshold and superior levels of performance will be established at the beginning of each fiscal year. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the STIP, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
