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

(d) On February 15, 2013, the Board of Directors of IDEX Corporation (the “Company”) elected Cynthia (CJ) Warner as a Class II director to serve until the Company’s 2015 annual meeting of stockholders. Ms. Warner’s appointment is effective immediately. Ms. Warner will serve on the Company’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

Ms. Warner was not appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors pursuant to any arrangement or understanding with any other person.

There are no other transactions between the Company and Ms. Warner that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Ms. Warner will participate in the Company’s director compensation program which currently consists of equity grants on initial election to the Board valued at $127,500, annual equity grants thereafter valued at $85,000, an annual cash retainer and meeting fees of $65,000, and certain additional cash retainers and fees for service as a committee chair or as lead director. For a complete description of the Company’s director compensation program, please refer to the Company’s proxy statement on Schedule 14A relating to its annual meeting of stockholders.

(e) On February 14, 2013, the Board of Directors approved the Revised and Restated IDEX Management Incentive Compensation Plan for Key Employees effective January 1, 2013 (the “Revised MICP”). The Revised MICP amends the Company’s Revised and Restated IDEX Management Compensation Plan for Key Employees effective January 1, 2010 (the “Former MICP”) primarily to delete as a factor in determining compensation payments the individual personal performance multiplier contained in the Former MICP. The foregoing description of the Revised MICP is subject to the full text of the Revised MICP which is attached to this report as exhibit 10.1 and incorporated into this Item 5.02(e) by reference.
