Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On April 28, 2011, the Board of Directors of First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), adopted Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”). The 2011 Plan was previously approved by the Board of Directors, subject to stockholder approval, on March 10, 2011. The Amendment modifies the 2011 Plan to clarify that awards outstanding under the 2011 Plan may not be repriced by the Company without stockholder approval.
A summary description of the terms of the 2011 Plan is set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 5, 2011. A copy of the 2011 Plan was attached as Appendix B to the definitive proxy statement.
The 2011 Plan, as amended by the Amendment, will be presented to the Company’s stockholders for their approval at the annual meeting to be held on May 12, 2011.
The description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this report.
