Also, on February 11, 2009, the Board approved an amendment to the terms of the annual incentive compensation awards for the Corporation's 2009 fiscal year granted under the HNI Corporation Executive Bonus Plan for each of Messrs. Askren, Tjaden, Determan, Dittmer and Molinari. The amendment relates only to the financial performance component of the annual incentive compensation award and specifically (i) reduces the percent payout level threshold from 50 percent to 25 percent and
(ii) bifurcates the annual performance period into two 6-month performance periods with each period looked at separately for purposes of determining whether a threshold level of economic profit was achieved. Any resulting payout will be based on the average achievement of the two 6-month performance periods. All other terms of the Corporation's annual incentive compensation program remain as described on pages 16-19 of the Corporation's 2008 Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 19, 2008.
