Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
As reported below, at the 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Tuesday Morning Corporation (the “Company”) held on November 6, 2013, the Company’s stockholders approved the Company’s Corporate Executive Annual Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) for compliance with Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m). The Incentive Plan provides for the granting of awards of incentive compensation that may be paid to a participant upon satisfaction of specified performance goals for a particular performance period. The Incentive Plan is intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, so that the Company can take federal income tax deductions for the performance-based compensation paid under the Incentive Plan to its named executive officers. Because of the uncertainties associated with the application and interpretation of Section 162(m), there can be no assurance that compensation intended to satisfy the requirements for deductibility under Section 162(m) will in fact be deductible.
The Incentive Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee or such other committee as determined by the Board of Directors, and such Committee has the full authority to designate the employees who are eligible to participate in the Incentive Plan and to establish the performance goals and achievement levels for each participant. Approved awards for a performance period will be paid in cash as provided in the Incentive Plan. The Incentive Plan will continue in effect until terminated by the Committee or the Board of Directors.
A summary of the Incentive Plan is included in Proposal No. 4 of the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 25, 2013, and the full text of the Incentive Plan is included in Appendix A of such proxy statement. The foregoing description of the Incentive Plan is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Incentive Plan, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
