Explanatory Note
As previously disclosed by the Registrant in a current report on Form 8-K filed
with the Commission on March 6, 2009, on March 3, 2009 the Registrant's
Compensation Committee approved 2009 goals for annual incentive awards under the
L.B. Foster Annual Incentive Plan. Included in that report were certain terms
and their related definitions. This amendment is being filed solely for the
purpose of redefining certain of those terms as included herein. Other than
these amended definitions, this amendment does not modify the disclosures
contained in the current report filed with the Commission on March 6, 2009.
On March 20, 2009, Registrant Compensation Committee redefined "Pre-tax Income"
and "Free Cash Flow" to be as follows:
"Pre-Tax Income" shall mean the pre-tax income for the Corporation or, as
applicable, for an Operating Unit for the Fiscal Year, but determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, including 100% of the
applicable LIFO charge or credit but excluding: (i) the "Milestone Payments" or
other amounts, if any, paid to the former shareholders (and their respective
successors and assigns) of the DM&E arising from or in connection with the 2007
merger of the DM&E, (ii) all gains or losses arising from sales of capital
assets when the sale or purchase price for an individual asset exceeds $50,000;
(iii) all expenses, costs, profits, losses or gains attributable to (a) the
sale; other than sales of inventory in the ordinary course of business, of more
than 25% of the assets of an "Operating Unit" or 50% of the assets of a
Component in the Fiscal Year, or (b) the acquisition of a business in 2009 for a
gross purchase price of more than $1M; (iv) with respect to Operating Units
only, the costs of the Plan; and (v) interest, investment gains or losses
arising from cash or marketable securities of $105M. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event more than 25% of the assets of an Operating Unit or 50%
of the assets of a Component are sold, excluding sales of inventory in the
ordinary course of business, during the Fiscal Year, such Operating Unit's or
Component's, as applicable, Planned Pre-Tax Income shall be eliminated from all
calculations (if a stipulated amount of a Component's assets are sold, the
Operating Unit's Planned Pre-tax Incentive Income and Corporate Planned Pre-tax
Income shall be reduced to the extent of the Component's Planned Pre-tax
Income), together with the Component's or Operating Unit's, as applicable,
profits, losses or Pre-tax Income for the Fiscal Year.
"Free Cash Flow" shall mean the sum of net cash provided by (or used in)
operating activities, and proceeds from capital asset sales, reduced by capital
expenditures on property plant and equipment as adjusted for unusual gains or
losses or other transactions outside of the ordinary course of business
