Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On December 17, 2013, the Board of Directors of Masco Corporation (the “Company”) appointed Christopher A. O’Herlihy as a director of the Company. He will serve on the Audit Committee and on the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. Mr. O’Herlihy, 50, is an Executive Vice President of Illinois Tool Works Inc. (“ITW”), a multinational manufacturer of a diversified range of industrial products and equipment. During his almost 25 years with ITW, he has held various roles of increasing responsibility, including as Group President of both ITW’s Food Equipment and Polymers & Fluids segments. He serves as a director of the National Restaurant Association, an industry trade association.

There are no understandings or arrangements between Mr. O’Herlihy and any other person pursuant to which Mr. O’Herlihy was selected as a director of the Company. From time to time the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries purchase goods or services from ITW and its subsidiaries. The aggregate amount of these purchases approximated $1.8 million in 2012 and $1.7 million in 2013. The Board does not believe that Mr. O’Herlihy has a material interest in these transactions. Mr. O’Herlihy will receive the compensation and participate in the programs applicable to all non-employee Company directors, as described in the Company’s proxy statement dated April 2, 2013, including the Company’s Non-Employee Directors Equity Program.
