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

On May 19, 2014, the Human Resources Committee of our Board of Directors (the "Board") approved payouts to certain of our named executive officers under our bonus program for fiscal 2014. The bonus program had a performance component, which is under our management incentive program, and discretionary component. The approved payouts for the two components combined were as follows: Mr. Munyan - $436,654; Mr. Paccapaniccia - $211,361 and Mr. Kiesling - $206,607.

On May 23, 2014, the Human Resources Committee granted stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under our 2013 Equity Compensation Plan to the named executive officers listed below as follows:
Executive
Shares Underlying Stock Option Grants (#)
Shares Underlying RSU Grants (#)
Christopher J. Munyan
39,000
10,000
Vincent A. Paccapaniccia
16,250
4,075
William G. Kiesling
16,250
4,075

The stock options have an exercise price of $24.52 per share and a seven-year term. Vesting and exercisability are contingent upon the satisfaction of the performance-based and service-based conditions described below. Each RSU constitutes a phantom right and will automatically be redeemed for one share of CSS common stock on the fourth anniversary of the grant date, contingent upon satisfaction of the performance-based and service-based conditions described below.

The stock options and RSUs will not vest unless a performance goal is satisfied within the four-year period ending on the fourth anniversary of the grant date (the “Performance Period”), except that vesting and exercisability are accelerated upon a change of control. In order for the performance goal to be satisfied, the Company must attain total shareholder return (“TSR”) of at least 30% during the Performance Period. TSR is measured by stock price performance and dividend accumulation and reinvestment. Satisfaction of the performance goal will be determined by comparing (a) the average closing price for a share of the Company’s common stock (as adjusted to reflect reinvestment of dividends paid during the Performance Period) over a period of 60 consecutive trading days during the Performance Period to (b) $24.52 per share, the closing price per share on May 22, 2014 (the last trading day prior to the grant date).

2




If the performance goal described above is not satisfied by the fourth anniversary of the grant date, then the stock options and RSUs will not vest, and the same will expire on the fourth anniversary of the grant date. Otherwise, vesting will depend on the period in which the performance goal is satisfied, as reflected below:
Period in which
Performance Goal is Satisfied
Vesting Schedule for Stock Options
Vesting Schedule for RSUs
Within the 1 st  year following the grant date
25% on each of the 1 st , 2 nd , 3 rd  and 4 th  anniversaries of the grant date
50% on the 3 rd     anniversary of the grant date, and 50% on the 4 th  anniversary of the grant date
Within the 2 nd  year following the grant date
50% on the 2 nd anniversary of the grant date, and 25% on each of the 3 rd  and 4 th  anniversaries of the grant date
Within the 3 rd  year following the grant date
75% on the 3 rd     anniversary of the grant date, and 25% on the 4 th  anniversary of the grant date
Within the 4 th  year following the grant date
100% on the 4 th     anniversary of the grant date
100% on the 4 th     anniversary of the grant date

A service-based vesting condition is also applicable to the foregoing stock options and RSUs. In order for the service-based vesting condition to be satisfied, the executive must remain in the employment of the Company or an applicable subsidiary of the Company on the applicable vesting date. Stock options become exercisable from and after the date on which they vest. RSUs, to the extent that they vest, will be redeemed automatically for shares of CSS common stock on the fourth anniversary of the grant date.

The foregoing description of the stock options and RSUs is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the applicable grant instruments, forms of which are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2.

Exhibit 10.1
Performance-Based Form

CSS INDUSTRIES, INC.

2013 EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN

NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION GRANT

This NONQUALIFIED STOCK OPTION GRANT, dated as of _________ __, 20__ (the “ Date of Grant ”), is delivered by CSS Industries, Inc. (the “ Company ”) to ______________ (the “ Grantee ”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “ Committee ”) has determined to grant the Grantee a nonqualified stock option to purchase shares of the common stock of the Company, par value $0.10 per share, (the “ Company Stock ”); and
WHEREAS, the Committee has determined that the nonqualified stock option granted to the Grantee shall be issued under the CSS Industries, Inc. 2013 Equity Compensation Plan (the “ Plan ”) and the terms and conditions of such nonqualified stock option shall be memorialized in this Nonqualified Stock Option Grant (the “ Grant ”).
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Grant, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
1. Grant of Option . Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Grant and in the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Grantee a nonqualified stock option (the “ Option ”) to purchase __________ shares of Company Stock at an exercise price of $_______ per share. The Option shall become vested and exercisable according to Paragraphs 2 and 3 below.
2.      Vesting of Option .
(a)      Unless a Change of Control (as defined below) occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period (as defined below), the vesting and exercisability of the Option is contingent upon achievement of the Performance Goal (as described in subparagraph (b) below) at any time during the Performance Period and the Grantee satisfying the continuing employment condition described in Paragraph 3 below.

1



(b)      The Option will become vested if the Company’s Total Stockholder Return (“ TSR ”) (as described in subparagraph (c) below) at any time during the Performance Period is [____ (___%)] or more as certified by the Committee (the “ Performance Goal ”). The Committee may determine whether the Performance Goal has been achieved at any time after it has been achieved; provided, however, that the Committee will determine whether the Performance Goal has been achieved prior to the anniversary of the Date of Grant next following the earliest date on which the Performance Goal is achieved, and provided further that if such earliest date occurs within the thirty (30) day period immediately preceding an anniversary date of the Date of Grant, then the Committee will determine whether the Performance Goal has been achieved as soon as administratively practicable following, and in any event not later than thirty (30) days following, the date of achievement of the Performance Goal. Upon making a determination that the Performance Goal has been achieved, the Committee will certify that the Performance Goal has been so achieved. The date, if any, on which the Committee certifies that the Performance Goal has been achieved is referred to herein as the “ Certification Date ”.
(c)      TSR represents stock price performance and dividend accumulation during the Performance Period for the Company. For purposes of this calculation, the initial stock price is equal to the closing stock price for the Company Stock on the last trading day prior to the Date of Grant, and the ending stock price is determined using the [_____ (___)] day average stock price for each day during the Performance Period. The [_____ (___)] day average stock price is the average of the closing stock prices for the [_____ (___)] trading days that end on the applicable date. To determine stock price performance, a dividend adjustment factor will be determined. The dividend adjustment factor takes into account each per share dividend paid during the Performance Period through the applicable measurement date, as well as the effect of any appreciation in stock price by reason of deeming the dividend to be reinvested in the stock. TSR is determined on each measurement date by adjusting the ending stock price on such date as determined above by the dividend adjustment factor and comparing it to the initial stock price. The initial Company Stock price is $______ per share.
(d)      Unless a Change of Control occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period, if the Performance Goal is not achieved at any time during the Performance Period no portion of the Option may become vested, the Grantee may not exercise any portion of the Option, and the Option shall terminate.
(e)      In order to become vested in any portion of the Option, the Grantee must be Employed by the Employer (as defined in the Plan) on the Certification Date or date of a Change of Control, if earlier. If the Grantee ceases to be Employed by the Employer for any reason or no reason prior to the Certification Date or Change of Control, if earlier, no portion of the Option shall become vested and the Option shall be forfeited immediately following the date the Grantee ceases to be Employed by the Employer.

2



(f)      If a Change of Control occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period and prior to achievement of the Performance Goal, then the Performance Period will end on the date of the Change of Control, the Performance Goal will be deemed achieved as of the date of the Change of Control, and the Option will be fully vested as of the date of the Change of Control, provided that the Grantee is Employed by the Employer on the date of the Change of Control. For purposes of this Grant, the term “ Change of Control ” shall mean as such term is defined in the Plan.
(g)      For purposes of this Grant, the term “ Performance Period ” shall mean the [four (4)] year period beginning on the Date of Grant and ending on ___________ __, ____.
3.      Exercisability of the Option . If the Option becomes vested as described in Paragraph 2 above, the Option will become exercisable according to the applicable schedule described in this Paragraph 3, provided that the Grantee is Employed by the Employer on the applicable exercisability date:
(a)      Performance Goal Achieved by First Anniversary of Date of Grant . Except as provided in subparagraph (e) below, if, as certified by the Committee, the Performance Goal is first achieved at any time prior to, or on, the first anniversary of the Date of Grant, the Option will become exercisable according to the following schedule:

Fourth Anniversary of Date of Grant
 
25%

(b)      Performance Goal Achieved After First Anniversary of Date of Grant, but by Second Anniversary of the Date of Grant . Except as provided in subparagraph (e) below, if, as certified by the Committee, the Performance Goal is first achieved at any time after the first anniversary of the Date of Grant, but not later than the second anniversary of the Date of Grant, the Option will become exercisable according to the following schedule:
Exercisability Date
 
Shares for Which the Option is Exercisable on the Exercisability Date
The Certification Date or  the second anniversary of Date of Grant, whichever is later

(c)      Performance Goal Achieved After Second Anniversary of Date of Grant, but by Third Anniversary of the Date of Grant . Except as provided in subparagraph (e) below, if, as certified by the Committee, the Performance Goal is first achieved at any time after the second anniversary of the Date of Grant, but not later than the third anniversary of the Date of Grant, the Option will become exercisable according to the following schedule:

The Certification Date or  the fourth anniversary of Date of Grant, whichever is later

(e)      Change of Control Prior to Fourth Anniversary of the Date of Grant . If a Change of Control occurs prior to the fourth anniversary of the Date of Grant, the Option will be fully exercisable as of the date of the Change of Control.

4



(f)      Performance Goal Not Achieved by Fourth Anniversary of the Date of Grant . Except in the event of a Change of Control prior to the end of the Performance Period, if the Performance Goal is not achieved by the fourth anniversary of the Date of Grant, no portion of the Option will become exercisable and the Option shall be forfeited.    
The exercisability of the Option is cumulative, but shall not exceed 100% of the shares of Company Stock subject to the Option. If the applicable schedule would produce fractional shares, the number of shares for which the Option becomes exercisable shall be rounded up to the nearest whole Share. The Committee may accelerate the period over which the Option becomes exercisable based upon the Grantee’s individual performance.
4.      Term of Option .
(a)      The Option shall have a term of seven (7) years from the Date of Grant and shall terminate at the expiration of that period, unless it is terminated at an earlier date pursuant to the provisions of this Grant or the Plan.
(b)      The Option shall automatically terminate upon the happening of the first of the following events:
(i)      The expiration of the 90‑day period after the Grantee ceases to be Employed by the Employer, if the termination is for any reason other than death, termination for Cause (as defined in the Plan), or the Grantee’s sole determination to terminate his or her employment (other than by reason of retirement approved by the Committee).
(ii)      The expiration of the 180-day period after the Grantee ceases to be Employed by the Employer, if the Grantee dies while Employed by the Employer or retires from such employment with the consent of the Committee.
(iii)      The date on which the Grantee ceases to be Employed by the Employer on account of a termination for Cause by the Employer (as defined in the Plan) or the Grantee’s voluntary termination (other than by reason of retirement approved by the Committee). In addition, notwithstanding the prior provisions of this Paragraph 4, if the Grantee engages in conduct that constitutes Cause after the Grantee’s employment or service terminates, the Option shall immediately terminate.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the Option be exercised after the date that is immediately before the seventh anniversary of the Date of Grant. Any portion of the Option that is not exercisable at the time the Grantee ceases to be Employed by the Employer shall immediately terminate.

5



5.      Exercise Procedures .
(a)      Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 above, the Grantee may exercise part or all of the vested and exercisable portion of the Option by giving the Company written notice of intent to exercise in the manner provided in this Grant, specifying the number of shares of Company Stock as to which the Option is to be exercised and the method of payment. Payment of the exercise price shall be made in accordance with procedures established by the Committee from time to time based on type of payment being made but, in any event, prior to issuance of the shares of Company Stock. The Grantee shall pay the exercise price (i) in cash, (ii) by delivering shares of Company Stock owned by the Grantee and having a Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) on the date of exercise at least equal to the exercise price or by attestation (on a form prescribed by the Committee) to ownership of shares of Company Stock having a Fair Market Value on the date of exercise at least equal to the exercise price, (iii) by payment through a broker in accordance with procedures permitted by Regulation T of the Federal Reserve Board, (iv) by "net exercise, which is the surrender of shares of Company Stock for which the Option is exercisable to the Company in exchange for a distribution of shares of Company Stock equal to the amount by which the then Fair Market Value of the shares of Company Stock subject to the exercised Option exceeds the applicable exercise price per share, (v) any combination of clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv); or (vi) by such other method as the Committee may approve, to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Committee may impose from time to time such limitations as it deems appropriate on the use of shares of Company Stock to exercise the Option.
(b)      The obligation of the Company to deliver shares of Company Stock upon exercise of the Option shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules, and regulations and such approvals by governmental agencies as may be deemed appropriate by the Committee, including such actions as Company counsel shall deem necessary or appropriate to comply with relevant securities laws and regulations.
(c)      All obligations of the Company under this Grant shall be subject to the rights of the Employer as set forth in the Plan to withhold amounts required to be withheld for any taxes, if applicable. Unless Committee determines otherwise, the Grantee may elect to satisfy any tax withholding obligation of the Employer with respect to the Option by having shares of Company Stock withheld up to an amount that does not exceed the minimum applicable withholding tax rate for federal (including FICA), state and local tax liabilities.
6.      Change of Control . Except as set forth above, the provisions of the Plan applicable to a Change of Control shall apply to the Option, and, in the event of a Change of Control, the Committee may take such actions as it deems appropriate pursuant to the Plan.

6



7.      Restrictions on Exercise . Except as the Committee may otherwise permit pursuant to the Plan, only the Grantee may exercise the Option during the Grantee’s lifetime and, after the Grantee’s death, the Option shall be exercisable (subject to the limitations specified in the Plan) solely by the legal representatives of the Grantee, or by the person who acquires the right to exercise the Option by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, to the extent that the Option is exercisable pursuant to this Grant.
8.      Acknowledgement By Grantee . By accepting this Grant, the Grantee hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan and this Grant. The Grantee further agrees to be bound by the determinations and decisions of the Committee with respect to this Grant and the Plan and the Grantee’s rights to benefits under this Grant and the Plan, and agrees that all such determinations and decisions of the Committee shall be binding on the Grantee, his or her beneficiaries and any other person having or claiming an interest under this Grant and the Plan on behalf of the Grantee.

9.      Grant Subject to Plan Provisions .

12.      Assignment and Transfers . Except as the Committee may otherwise permit pursuant to the Plan, the rights and interests of the Grantee under this Grant may not be sold, assigned, encumbered or otherwise transferred except, in the event of the death of the Grantee, by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. In the event of any attempt by the Grantee to alienate, assign, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of the Option or any right hereunder, except as provided for in this Grant, or in the event of the levy or any attachment, execution or similar process upon the rights or interests hereby conferred, the Company may terminate the Option by notice to the Grantee, and the Option and all rights hereunder shall thereupon become null and void. The rights and protections of the Company hereunder shall extend to any successors or assigns of the Company and to the Company’s parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates.

2013 EQUITY COMPENSATION PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT

This RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT, dated as of ___________ __, 20__ (the “ Date of Grant ”), is delivered by CSS Industries, Inc. (the “ Company ”) to «FirstName» «LastName» (the “ Grantee ”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “ Committee ”) has determined to grant the Grantee stock units that will be converted to shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.10 per share, (the “ Company Stock ”); and
WHEREAS, the Committee has determined that the stock units granted to the Grantee shall be issued under the CSS Industries, Inc. 2013 Equity Compensation Plan (the “ Plan ”) and the terms and conditions of such stock units shall be memorialized in this Stock Unit Grant (the “ Grant ”).
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Grant, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
1. Grant of Stock Units . Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Grant and the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Grantee _____ stock units (collectively, the “ Restricted Stock Units ”). Each Restricted Stock Unit (a “ Unit ”) shall be a phantom right and shall be equivalent to one share of Company Stock on the applicable Redemption Date (as defined below).
2.      Restricted Stock Unit Account . The Company shall establish and maintain a Restricted Stock Unit account as a bookkeeping account on its records (the “ Restricted Stock Unit Account ”) for the Grantee and shall record in such Restricted Stock Unit Account the number of Restricted Stock Units granted to the Grantee. The Grantee shall not have any interest in any fund or specific assets of the Company by reason of this grant or the Restricted Stock Unit Account established for the Grantee.
3.      Performance Goal .
(a)      Unless a Change of Control (as defined below) occurs prior to the end of the Performance Period (as defined below), the distribution of shares of Company Stock attributable to the Restricted Stock Units is contingent upon achievement of the Performance Goal (as described in subparagraph (b) below) at any time during the Performance Period and the Grantee satisfying the continuing employment condition described in Paragraph 4 below.





(b)      The Restricted Stock Units will become earned if the Company’s Total Stockholder Return (“ TSR ”) (as described in subparagraph (c) below) at any time during the Performance Period is [____ percent (__%)] or more as certified by the Committee (the “ Performance Goal ”).
(c)      TSR represents stock price performance and dividend accumulation during the Performance Period for the Company. For purposes of this calculation, the initial stock price is equal to the closing stock price for the Company Stock on the last trading day prior to the Date of Grant, and the ending stock price is determined using the [ _______ (____) ] day average stock price for each day during Performance Period. The [ _______ (____) ] day average stock price is the average of the closing stock prices for the [ _______ (____) ] trading days that end on the applicable date. To determine stock price performance, a dividend adjustment factor will be determined. The dividend adjustment factor takes into account each per share dividend paid during the Performance Period through the applicable measurement date, as well as the effect of any appreciation in stock price by reason of deeming the dividend to be reinvested in the stock. TSR is determined on each measurement date by adjusting the ending stock price on such date as determined above by the dividend adjustment factor and comparing it to the initial stock price. The initial Company Stock price is $ [_____] per share.
(d)      Within thirty (30) days following the third anniversary of the Date of Grant, the Committee will determine whether the Performance Goal was achieved at any time during the period between the Date of Grant and such third anniversary and, if it has been met, will certify that the Performance Goal was so achieved. If the Performance Goal is not achieved by the third anniversary of the Date of Grant, then within thirty (30) days following the fourth anniversary of the Date of Grant, the Committee will determine whether the Performance Goal was achieved at any time during the period between the third and fourth anniversaries of the Date of Grant and, if it has been met, will certify that the Performance Goal was so achieved. The Committee also may make such determination at any time prior to the third or fourth anniversary of the Date of Grant, and if it determines that the Performance Goal was achieved at any time between the Date of Grant and the date of such determination, the Committee may so certify at such time; provided, however, if the Committee determines that the Performance Goal was not achieved between the Date of Grant and the date that it so considers the matter, then the Committee will consider the matter again within thirty (30) days following the third and/or fourth anniversary of the Date of Grant, as the case may be.
