The information set forth in Item 5.02 is incorporated herein by this reference.
Item 5.02 | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangement of Certain Officers. |
On November 6, 2008, Crown Crafts, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into amendments to the employment agreements with each of E. Randall Chestnut, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Amy Vidrine Samson, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer of the Company, and Nanci Freeman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Crown Crafts Infant Products, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as well an amendment to the severance protection agreement between the Company and Mr. Chestnut. The purpose of such amendments was to bring the agreements into compliance with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury regulations and Internal Revenue Service guidance thereunder. The amendments generally affect the timing, but not the amount, of compensation and other benefits that may be received by the executive officers thereunder and implement related technical changes. In addition, the employment agreement amendments also revise the description of the Company’s business for purposes of the agreements’ noncompetition provisions to reflect the Company’s current operations with respect to infant and toddler products.
The foregoing amendments are filed as exhibits hereto, and the description contained herein of such amendments is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of such documents.
