Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of
Certain Officers.
In October 2006, the Board of Directors of HEICO Corporation (the "Company")
established the HEICO Corporation Leadership Compensation Plan (the "Plan"), a
nonqualified deferred compensation plan. 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.
In September 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an amendment
to the Plan to provide for the elective deferral of the portion of director fees
which are used to purchase shares of Company common stock pursuant to the
Company's director compensation policy.
On December 15, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company approved additional
amendments to comply with the final Section 409A regulations issued by the
Internal Revenue Service, which become effective January 1, 2009. A copy of the
Plan, as amended and restated, is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current
Report on Form 8-K and the terms of which are hereby incorporated herein by
reference.
Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
