Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers On October 6, 2009, in connection with its annual equity grants to employees, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Robbins & Myers, Inc. (the "Company") granted Restricted Share Units ("RSUs") to certain of the Company's executive officers under the Robbins & Myers, Inc. 2004 Incentive Stock Plan as Amended. The Compensation Committee elected to award RSUs rather than restricted stock, which had been awarded in prior years. Each RSU represents the right to receive one common share of the Company and vests over three years in equal annual installments provided that the employee remains in service with the Company as of the vesting date. The vested RSUs are converted into common shares upon the earlier of three years after the date of grant, the employee's termination of service with the Company, or a change of control of the Company. The Company's executive officers received the following RSU awards:
Peter C. Wallace, President and Chief Executive Officer, 12,120 RSUs; Christopher M. Hix, Vice President, Finance and Chief Financial Officer, 3,320 RSUs;
Saeid Rahimian, President, Fluid Management Group, 3,730 RSUs; Kevin J. Brown, Corporate Controller, 930 RSUs.
The Compensation Committee also approved a form of Restricted Share Unit Award Agreement, which is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this Report. Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits
