Employment Agreement / Share-Based Awards
 
The Company and M. Farooq Kathwari, our President and Chief Executive Officer, entered into a new employment agreement (the "Agreement"), dated as of October 1, 2015, and effective as of July 1, 2015. Shareholders approved the incentive performance components of the Agreement for purposes of tax deductibility, and on December 1, 2015, the final vote count was certified. Pursuant to the Agreement, Mr. Kathwari will be entitled to, among other forms of incentive compensation, performance-based restricted stock units ("Performance Units") providing a contingent right to receive shares of the Company's common stock, conditioned upon the Company's achievement of certain performance targets and goals. In each fiscal year during the term of Mr. Kathwari's employment under the Agreement, Mr. Kathwari is to be granted Performance Units entitling Mr. Kathwari to earn 0 to 81,250 shares of common stock, with each such grant to be made within ninety (90) days of the beginning of each fiscal year, contingent upon the Company’s achievement of certain performance goals, and subject to the terms of the Agreement. For each grant of Performance Units, the amount of the grant that will be earned and paid will be determined by reference to the achievement of certain performance goals for each of the two initial fiscal years (on a cumulative basis) and the three fiscal years (on a cumulative basis) applicable to such grant.
