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

On November 15, 2012, the Board of Directors of Dynamic Materials Corporation (the “Company”) adopted the Dynamic Materials Corporation 2012 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), effective as of January 1, 2013.  The Plan is designed to provide a select group of management or highly compensated employees, as selected by the Compensation Committee, with supplemental retirement income benefits through the elective deferral of salary and bonus compensation.

Each participant under the Plan who chooses to participate in any calendar year will be permitted to defer no less than 10% and up to 100% of his or her annual base salary and his or her annual bonus for that calendar year.  All participants’ accounts under the Plan will be fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times.  Amounts deferred under the Plan will be credited to bookkeeping accounts maintained by the Company for each participant and will be adjusted to reflect deemed earnings or losses based on the hypothetical investment options selected by the participant. Participants in the Plan will receive distributions following termination, death or disability, or upon a change in control (as disability and change in control are defined in the Plan). Distributions will generally be made in the form of one lump sum payment, except that participants may elect to have distributions made in installments.

The Board of Directors  reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time; provided, however, that no such action shall affect a participant’s right to receive the full amount of his or her vested account balance.
