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

(e) On February 24, 2011, the Board of Directors of Harry & David Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted a key management retention plan. Under the plan, employees selected for participation will receive one-time cash payments in amounts ranging from 13% to 29% of the participant’s current base salary. Each such payment is, however, subject to forfeiture and claw-back in certain events, including if the participant’s employment is terminated by the Company for cause or the participant terminates employment other than for good reason. The aggregate amount that the Company will pay to participants under the plan is $605,000. Participants include certain of the Company’s executive officers and other key employees. Members of the Company’s Board of Directors, including its Chairman, are not eligible to participate under the plan.
