EXPLANATORY NOTE

Stein Mart, Inc. (“the Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 30, 2017 (the “Original Report”) to supplement the information provided in Item 5.02 therein regarding the terms of an option granted to MaryAnne Morin and to correct the statement that such option would be subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s 2001 Omnibus Plan. The option is an inducement grant made outside such plan. All other information in the Original Report remains unchanged.

 

ITEM 5.02 DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS

As previously described in the Original Report, MaryAnne Morin was appointed to serve as the Company’s President, effective February 6, 2017. Consequently, on February 22, 2017, the Company and Ms. Morin executed an Inducement Option Award Agreement (the “Award Agreement”), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1.

In accordance with the Award Agreement, the Company granted Ms. Morin an option to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with a per share exercise price of $3.72, the closing price on the grant date. The option will vest as to 20% of the total number of shares subject to the option on the first anniversary of the grant date and then 20% in each of the years following with 100% vesting occurring on the fifth year anniversary of this grant. The stock option was issued as an inducement material to the new employee entering into employment with the Company. The award was approved by the Company’s independent Compensation Committee as an inducement award in accordance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(c)(4).

The preceding summary of the material terms of the Award Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the full text of such Award Agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1. In the event of any discrepancy between the preceding summary and the text of the Award Agreement, the text of the Award Agreement shall control.
