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

(f)           The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Registrant took the following actions relating to executive compensation:

Fiscal 2011 Executive Compensation Matters

As previously reported, the Compensation Committee adopted an incentive plan creating a discretionary bonus pool in which all non-unionized employees, including executive officers, are eligible to participate.  Allocations from the pool will be discretionary and based upon management’s evaluation of the results achieved by the business as a whole, especially the further reduction in costs and expenses, and by the individual participants. 
 
On August 17, 2011 the Compensation Committee determined that the results achieved by the Registrant’s business as a whole, including its business locations and segments met targeted goals and awarded bonus payments to all eligible employees.  The Registrant’s executive officers received the bonus payments described below from this pool.

Fiscal 2012 Executive Compensation Matters

 
A.
The Compensation Committee, on August 17, 2011, considered changes to the annual base salaries of the Company’s executive officers.  The annual base salary approved by the Compensation Committee for the Company’s named executive officers for fiscal 2012 is set forth in the table below.
