Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On March 22, 2011, the Human Resources Committee of our Board of Directors adjusted the annual base salaries of certain of our named executive officers and determined the target and maximum award levels for each of our named executive officers participating in our Management Incentive Program (“MIP”) for our fiscal year ending March 31, 2012 (our 2012 fiscal year). These determinations were as follows:
| MIP Target and Maximum | ||||||||||||
| Award Levels | ||||||||||||
| Executive Officer Name and Title |
Annual Base Salary |
Target | Maximum | |||||||||
|
Christopher J. Munyan,
President and Chief Executive Officer
|
$ | 556,200 | $ | 556,200 | $ | 1,112,400 | ||||||
|
Vincent A. Paccapaniccia,
Vice President – Finance, and Chief Financial Officer
|
$ | 332,800 | $ | 266,240 | $ | 532,480 | ||||||
|
William G. Kiesling, Vice
President – Legal and Human Resources
|
$ | 325,021 | $ | 260,017 | $ | 520,034 | ||||||
|
Paul Quick, President of
Paper Magic Group, Inc.
|
$ | 315,120 | $ | 252,096 | $ | 504,192 | ||||||
The annual base salaries shown in the table above are effective commencing April 1, 2011. The performance period for the MIP awards shown in the table above is our 2012 fiscal year. Each award has two or more components. The components of each award and the portion of the amounts in the table above that may be paid under each component are as follows:
| Component and portion that may be awarded under it | ||||||||||||
| Executive | CSS performance | Discretionary | Business unit performance | |||||||||

The sole metric for determining whether, and the extent to which, the CSS performance component will be paid is diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) for CSS Industries, Inc. (“CSS”). No amounts will be paid under the CSS performance component unless CSS achieves EPS in excess of a minimum “threshold” level determined by the Human Resources Committee. If the minimum EPS threshold level is exceeded, the amount paid under the CSS performance component will depend on the extent to which actual EPS exceeds the minimum level. The Human Resources Committee also established “target” and “maximum” EPS levels that must be reached in order for the CSS performance component to be paid at the target and maximum levels, respectively.
The extent to which the discretionary component is paid, if at all, will be determined by and in the sole discretion of the Human Resources Committee.
The sole metric for determining whether, and the extent to which, the business unit performance component will be paid is operating income for Paper Magic Group, Inc. which is the business unit for which Mr. Quick has responsibility. No amounts will be paid under the business unit performance component unless Paper Magic Group, Inc. achieves operating income in excess of a minimum “threshold” level determined by the Human Resources Committee. If the minimum operating income threshold is exceeded, the amount paid under the business unit performance component will depend on the extent to which actual operating income exceeds the minimum level. The Human Resources Committee also established “target” and “maximum” operating income levels that must be reached in order for the business unit performance component to be paid at the target and maximum levels, respectively.
The amounts payable, if any, under the MIP for the fiscal 2012 performance period will not be determined until after the performance period is completed.
