Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
At the Lennox International Inc. (the “Company”) 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 13, 2010, the Company’s stockholders approved the Lennox International Inc. 2010 Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “Plan”). The Plan is an amendment and restatement of the Company’s 1998 Incentive Plan.
The changes to the Plan approved at the 2010 Annual Meeting did not increase the amount of shares available for issuance or adjust any of the individual award limits contained in the 1998 Incentive Plan. The Company sought stockholder approval of the Plan in part to extend the Plan’s qualification under Section 162(m) of the Code for incentives established within the next five years and to add or amend various other terms. A further summary of the Plan, including the amendments approved by the Company’s stockholders, is included in the Company’s 2010 Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 16, 2010. The above description of the Plan is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Plan, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference for purposes of this Item 5.02.
