ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
On October 27, 2006, upon recommendation of its Compensation Committee, the
Board of Directors of HEICO Corporation (the "Company") established the HEICO
Corporation Leadership Compensation Plan ( the "Plan"), a nonqualified deferred
compensation plan, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit No. 10.1 to this Form
8-K and the terms of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference below.
The Plan provides eligible employees, officers and directors of the Company the
opportunity to voluntarily defer base salary, bonus payments, commissions,
long-term incentive awards and directors fees, as applicable, on a pre-tax
basis. The Company will match 50% of the first 6% of base salary deferred by
each participant. While the Company has no obligation to do so, the Plan also
provides the Company the opportunity to make discretionary contributions.
Deferred amounts are credited or debited with investment earnings or losses
measured by the earnings or losses realized by certain investment funds made
available under the Plan and elected by participants. The Company's matching
contributions and any discretionary contributions, are subject to vesting and
forfeiture provisions set forth in the Plan. Participants are eligible to
receive distribution of their benefits under the Plan at times specified in the
Plan. Distributions generally are made in the form of a lump sum distribution,
although participants who retire, as that term is defined in the Plan, may elect
to receive distribution of their benefits in up to 15 annual installments.
