SECTION 5

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT


ITEM 5.02

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


(e)

By action taken on January 14, 2014, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Standex International Corporation has amended stock awards made by the Company to Thomas D. DeByle, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, to provide that in the event of the involuntary termination of Mr. DeByle’s employment with the Company, for a reason other than “cause” as determined by the Committee, all stock awards made to Mr. DeByle prior to January 20, 2014 which had not yet vested as of the date of such termination would become immediately vested upon such date.


The affected stock awards consist of restricted stock and performance share unit awards made under the long-term incentive component of the 2008 Long Term Incentive Plan (the stock granted pursuant to performance share unit awards which is subject to the accelerated vesting provided under the amendment shall be the stock actually earned pursuant to such awards), and restricted stock purchased under the Management Stock Purchase Program component of the 2008 Long Term Incentive Plan, which allows a portion of the annual incentive bonus to be used to purchase shares at 25% discount from the fair market value of the stock.  The current vesting dates of these awards range from June 30, 2014 to September 6, 2016.  A detailed description of each of these types of awards is contained in the Company’s annual proxy statement, which was most recently filed with the Commission on October 21, 2013.  The amount realized pursuant to the amendment will depend upon the date of any termination, the number of shares of stock remaining unvested at the time of termination, and the fair market value of the Company’s stock at that time.


The action taken by the Committee shall apply only to previously granted stock awards that have not vested as of January 20, 2014.  It does not apply to any stock awards that may be made to Mr. DeByle after January 20, 2014.
