ITEM 2.02. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.
On July 25, 2012, Unifi, Inc. (the “Registrant”) issued a press release announcing its preliminary operating results for its fourth fiscal quarter and year ended June 24, 2012, which press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 5.02. DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS.
On July 25, 2012, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Registrant approved and authorized discretionary cash bonuses to certain of its executive officers as set forth in the table below, for performance during the Registrant’s fiscal year ended June 24, 2012:
| Name | Bonus Amount |
William L. Jasper Chairman and Chief Executive Officer | $257,625 |
R. Roger Berrier, Jr. President and Chief Operating Officer | $173,250 |
Ronald L. Smith Vice President and Chief Financial Officer | $133,500 |
Thomas H. Caudle, Jr. Vice President, Manufacturing | $118,875 |
Charles F. McCoy Vice President, Secretary, General Counsel, and Chief Risk, Governance and Compliance Officer | $118,875 |
Although the Registrant did not meet its previously established performance goals for annual incentive compensation, the Board decided to award the foregoing discretionary cash bonuses in recognition of the executives’ individual performance, contributions, and services to the Registrant during its fiscal 2012 year, and in consideration of other factors. Such other factors included the weakening of retail demand in certain key apparel segments and the unexpected increases in raw materials costs during fiscal year 2012, both of which were outside of the Registrant’s control, as well as management’s successful execution of the Registrant’s previously disclosed deleveraging strategy, including the refinancing of the Registrant’s debt structure that extended the maturity profile of the Registrant’s long-term indebtedness to 2017 and generated approximately $9 million of annual interest savings.

All of the information in the conference call is presented as of July 26, 2012, and the Registrant does not assume any obligation to update such information in the future.
