Item 5.02   Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On January 28, 2010, at a meeting of the Nominating, Compensation & Governance Committee (the “compensation committee”) of the Board of Directors of Oxford Industries, Inc. (the “Company”), the compensation committee approved amendments to (1) a restricted stock agreement, entered into as of March 28, 2008, between the Company and Mr. Knowlton J. O’Reilly, the Company’s Group Vice President, granting to Mr. O’Reilly 25,000 shares of the Company’s restricted stock, and (2) a restricted stock agreement, entered into as of June 16, 2009, between the Company and Mr. O’Reilly granting to Mr. O’Reilly 37,500 shares of the Company’s restricted stock, in each case to provide that the vesting date for the restricted stock shall be amended to be January 29, 2010. The 25,000 shares granted on March 28, 2008 were originally scheduled to vest on March 28, 2011, subject to, among other things, Mr. O’Reilly’s continued employment with the Company or one of its subsidiaries on such date, and the 37,500 shares granted on June 16, 2009 were originally scheduled to vest on April 30, 2013, subject to, among other things, Mr. O’Reilly’s continued employment with the Company or one of its subsidiaries on such date.
The amendments were approved in anticipation of Mr. O’Reilly’s expected retirement during 2010 and accompanying transfer of responsibilities overseeing the Company’s Oxford Apparel Group to his successor.
