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

  

On January 14, 2015, the Organization, Compensation and Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors of Bassett Furniture Industries, Incorporated (the “Company”) approved long-term incentive awards for the Company’s executive officers in the form of performance share grants under the Bassett Furniture Industries, Incorporated 2010 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).

  

Each performance share grant entitles the executive officer to receive shares of restricted stock (“performance shares”) in one year subject to the achievement of a specified performance condition based on the Company’s operating cash flow in the fiscal year ending November 28, 2015. The executive officer also must remain continuously employed with the Company through the end of the performance period to be eligible to receive the performance shares. The executive officer must remain continuously employed with the Company through the end of a two-year period following issuance of the performance shares in order for the performance shares to vest.

  

The number of shares subject to the performance share grants awarded to the Company’s named executive officers are as follows:

 

Executive Officer

 

Number of

shares

  

Robert H. Spilman, Jr.

    10,000

    6,000  

John E. Bassett, III

    5,000  

J. Michael Daniel

    5,000  
Mark S. Jordan     5,000  

 

Each award will accrue dividend equivalents during the performance period to be paid to the executive officer upon issuance of the performance shares. Dividends will be payable to the executive officer on the performance shares during the subsequent vesting period. In addition, performance shares issued to an executive officer shall vest upon a change in control of the Company or following the death or disability of the executive officer, in each case as described in the executive officer’s grant agreement.

  

The terms of the performance share grants are more completely described in the form of performance share award agreement, which was filed as an exhibit to a previous Form 8-K, and is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.02.
