Item 5.02.

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

 

(e)On October 31, 2018, Unifi, Inc. (the “Company”) held its 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”).  At the Annual Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved the Unifi, Inc. Amended and Restated 2013 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Amended 2013 Plan”).  The Amended 2013 Plan was adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) in September 2018, subject to shareholder approval.  Upon shareholder approval at the Annual Meeting, the Amended 2013 Plan became effective as of October 24, 2018 (the “Effective Date”).

 

The Company previously maintained the Unifi, Inc. 2013 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2013 Plan”), which terminated in accordance with its terms at the close of business on October 24, 2018.  No additional awards will be granted under the 2013 Plan, although outstanding awards previously made under the 2013 Plan will continue to be governed by the terms of the 2013 Plan and the agreements pursuant to which the awards were made.  

 

The Company has reserved for issuance under the Amended 2013 Plan an aggregate of 1,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.10 par value per share (“Common Stock”), that may be granted in connection with awards under the Amended 2013 Plan.  Any shares of Common Stock covered by an award that are not delivered to a participant or beneficiary because the award is forfeited or cancelled, or the shares are not delivered because the award is settled in cash, will not be deemed to have been delivered for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for delivery under the Amended 2013 Plan.  

 

The Amended 2013 Plan authorizes a variety of types of equity-based awards.  Employees of the Company, including the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer and other named executive officers may receive the following types of incentive awards under the Amended 2013 Plan: performance shares, shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance share units, incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options and stock appreciation rights.  Independent directors may receive the following types of incentive awards under the Amended 2013 Plan: shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance share units, vested shares, vested share units, nonstatutory stock options and stock appreciation rights.

 

Unless sooner terminated by the Board, the Amended 2013 Plan will terminate on the 10th anniversary of the Effective Date.  No awards may be made under the Amended 2013 Plan after its termination.

 

The foregoing description of the Amended 2013 Plan does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended 2013 Plan, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.  For a more complete description of the Amended 2013 Plan, please refer to the discussion under “Proposal 3” in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 13, 2018.
