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

On November 19, 2013, the Board of Directors of Premier Exhibitions, Inc. (the “Company”) approved a new director compensation plan for calendar year 2014. Under the new plan, the Company will pay an annual retainer of $50,000 to each non-employee director of the Company, to be paid half in equity and half in cash. Mr. Mark A. Sellers will not accept any compensation for his services as a director or Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors.  The previous director compensation plan paid an annual retainer of $90,000, paid partly in cash and partly in stock.

                Equity compensation will be in the form of restricted stock units vesting on the earlier of (i) January 1, 2015, (ii) a change of control, or (iii) the day when a director ceases to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors. If a director ceases to be a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, his restricted stock units will vest immediately and proportionately to the period of time served by the director during the year. The restricted stock units will be payable to the non-employee director, in shares of the Company’s common stock, within 20 days after becoming vested, and any units that do not vest will be forfeited. Cash compensation will be paid monthly.
