Change in Directors or Principal Officers, Submission of Matters to a V


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

(e) Premier Exhibitions, Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended

On August 23, 2012, at the Annual Meeting, our shareholders approved the Premier Exhibitions, Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the "Amended 2009 Plan"). The Amended 2009 Plan became effective as of June 6, 2012, the date of the Board approval, and will continue in effect until June 6, 2022, or such earlier date as our Board of Directors may determine. A brief description of the Amended 2009 Plan follows, but is subject to the full text of the Amended 2009 Plan, which is attached as Appendix A to our 2012 Proxy Statement and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Amended 2009 Plan increases the number of shares available for grant under the 2009 Equity Incentive Plan from 3,000,000 to 5,000,000. The amendments also provide that dividend equivalents with respect to awards that vest based on the achievement of performance objectives shall be accumulated until such awards are earned, and the dividend equivalents shall not be paid if the performance objectives are not satisfied.

Our non-employee Directors, employees and consultants are eligible to participate in the Amended 2009 Plan, which provides for a full range of awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units, performance shares, dividend equivalents, and other awards relating to shares of our common stock. The awards are payable in shares, in cash, in a combination of shares and cash, or by any other method determined by our Compensation Committee.

The maximum number of shares of our common stock that may be issued or transferred with respect to awards under the Amended 2009 Plan is 5,000,000. The Amended 2009 Plan provides that "full-value awards," meaning all awards other than stock options and stock appreciation rights, will be counted against the Amended 2009 Plan limit in a 2-to-1 ratio. Stock options and stock appreciation rights will be counted against the Amended 2009 Plan limit in a 1-to-1 ratio. Shares covering awards that terminate or are forfeited will again be available for issuance under the Amended 2009 Plan, and upon payment in cash for the benefit provided by any award granted under the Amended 2009 Plan, any shares that were covered by that award will be available for issuance or transfer under the Amended 2009 Plan. However, shares surrendered for the payment of the exercise price under stock options, repurchased by us with option proceeds, or withheld for taxes upon exercise or vesting of an award, will not again be available for issuance under the Amended 2009 Plan. Additionally, when a stock appreciation right is exercised and settled in shares, all of the shares underlying the stock appreciation right will be counted against the Amended 2009 Plan limit, regardless of the number of shares used to settle the stock appreciation right.

In addition to the 5,000,000 plan limit, the Amended 2009 Plan imposes various individual sub-limits on awards that may be issued or transferred under the Amended 2009 Plan. These limits are necessary to comply with the exemption under
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, relating to performance-based compensation.



(f) 2012 Bonus Determination for Mr. Brandon

On August 23, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved a discretionary bonus payment of $61,250 to Robert Brandon, the Company's General Counsel and Senior Vice President of Business Affairs. The amount of the bonus was determined based on the Company's fiscal 2012 performance, Mr. Brandon's individual performance, and the fact that the Committee did not make a bonus determination for Mr. Brandon in 2011 due to management transition at that time. Pursuant to Mr. Brandon's employment agreement, he has the opportunity to earn a discretionary bonus of up to 25% of his base salary each year, based on performance. This bonus information was not included in the Company's Proxy Statement for its 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 28, 2012, because the amount of any bonus payment had not been determined at that time. In accordance with Item 5.02(f), the table below updates the Bonus and Total columns in the fiscal 2012 Summary Compensation Table for Mr. Brandon. The compensation previously reported in the Company's Proxy Statement for the remaining executive officers remains unchanged.
