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

 

On September 20, 2011, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Tuesday Morning Corporation (the “Company”) appointed Sheldon I. Stein to serve as an independent director of the Company until his term expires at the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders, which is scheduled to be held on November 9, 2011 (the “Annual Meeting”).  There are no understandings or arrangements between Mr. Stein and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Stein was selected to serve as a director of the Company and there are no reportable transactions under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. In connection with his appointment, Mr. Stein executed the Company’s standard form of confidentiality agreement for directors.

 

Mr. Stein will receive compensation for his service on the Board in accordance with the Company’s standard compensatory arrangements for independent directors. These arrangements include an annual retainer in the amount of $30,000 and a Board meeting fee of $2,500 for in-person meetings and $1,000 for telephonic meetings. In addition, Mr. Stein will be reimbursed for his out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending Board meetings and will receive the standard 20% discount on merchandise purchases provided to all of the Company’s employees. If Mr. Stein is later appointed to a committee of the Board, he will also be entitled to receive additional compensation related to such service. Upon Mr. Stein’s appointment to the Board, he was awarded an option to purchase 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which option vests in four equal installments on the anniversary dates of the grant.

 

In addition, on September 21, 2011 Benjamin D. Chereskin notified the Company that he is retiring from the Board, effective as of the Annual Meeting.

 

The press release announcing the appointment of Mr. Stein as a director of the Company is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1
