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

Information responsive to Item 5.02(e):

Effective June 10, 2015, as part of its annual compensation review, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Eagle Materials Inc. (“Company”) approved long-term incentive equity awards under the Eagle Materials Inc. Amended and Restated Incentive Plan (“Incentive Plan”) to a group of the Company’s officers, including its named executive officers. The awards are comprised of time vesting stock options and restricted stock with performance vesting provisions. Each of the Company’s named executive officers was granted stock options and restricted stock as a part of this award.

The time vesting stock options will vest one-third on the first anniversary of the grant, one-third on the second anniversary of the grant and one-third on the third anniversary of the grant (assuming continued service by the relevant officer). The terms and conditions of the stock options will be substantially the same as the stock option grants in fiscal 2014. As in the case of prior equity awards, the stock options will also vest upon a change in control of the Company. In accordance with the terms of the Company’s Incentive Plan, the exercise price of the stock options is the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of grant, June 10, 2015 ($81.56).

In order for the restricted stock to be earned, the Company must achieve performance vesting criteria based on the Company’s return on equity measured at the end of fiscal 2016. If the Company performance vesting criteria is met, then the Compensation Committee may exercise negative discretion with regard to such award based on the grantee’s achievement of individual goals approved by the Compensation Committee. Following any such exercise of negative discretion, one-fifth of the earned restricted stock award will vest immediately and one-fifth on each of the next four fiscal year-ends (assuming continued service by the relevant officer). Any shares of restricted stock that are not earned at the end of fiscal 2016 will be forfeited. The terms and conditions of the restricted stock will be substantially the same as restricted stock grants made in fiscal 2015, except that the vesting criteria will be as described above. As in the case of prior equity awards, the restricted stock will also vest upon a change in control of the Company.

The following table shows the stock options and restricted stock granted to each of the Company’s named executive officers effective June 10, 2015:

 

Name		Number of Stock Options				Shares of Restricted Stock
Steven R. Rowley			60,577				21,151
D. Craig Kesler			15,145				5,288
Gerald J. Essl			17,164				5,993
David B. Powers			17,164				5,993
James H. Graass			15,145				5,288
