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

(e) As noted in item 5.07 below, at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Forest City Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”) held on June 13, 2013 (the “Annual Meeting”), the Company's shareholders approved amendments and restatements of the Executive Short-Term Incentive Plan (“STIP”), Executive Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) and 1994 Stock Plan (the “Stock Plan”). Descriptions of the material terms of the STIP, LTIP and Stock Plan are set forth on pages 55 through 66 of the Company's Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 30, 2013 and are incorporated herein by reference. The descriptions of the STIP, LTIP and Stock Plan are qualified in their entirety by reference to the STIP, LTIP and Plan, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

The Stock Plan was amended and restated to: (i) increase the shares of Class A common stock available for issuance by 5,000,000; (ii) extend the term during which awards may be granted under the Stock Plan through March 13, 2023; (iii) remove the cap on the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock that can be issued as restricted shares, or in payment of restricted stock units or performance shares; (iv) revise the limit on the aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock that can be issued pursuant to incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the “Code”); (v) revise the annual per-person limits on certain awards, including awards intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code and (vi) revise the list of management objectives that may be used with respect to certain awards that intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code.

The amended and restated forms of the Company's Restricted Stock Agreement, Performance Shares Agreement, Incentive and Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement, Restricted Shares Agreement for Nonemployee Directors and Nonqualified Stock Option Agreement for Nonemployee Directors are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference. The forms of the agreements contained no material amendments and were amended and restated to align with the Stock Plan, as approved by the shareholders at the Annual Meeting.

In addition, the Company's Board of Directors amended and restated the Senior Management Short-Term Incentive Plan (the "Senior Management STIP") and Senior Management Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Senior Management LTIP"). None of the Company's named executive officers participate in Senior Management STIP or the Senior Management LTIP. The Senior Management STIP and Senior Management LTIP are included as Exhibits 10.9 and 10.10 to this Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
