ITEM 5.02

(e)

On January 31, 2014, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) of Standex International Corporation (the “Company”) recommended, and, the independent directors of the Board of Directors (the “Board”), approve non-executive chairman compensation for Roger L. Fix which will commence on Mr. Fix’s retirement as an employee of the Company.  The compensation consists of the following: an annual cash retainer as director, in the amount of $40,000, consistent with the annual cash retainer paid to other non-employee directors; an annual cash retainer as chairman of the Board in the amount of $50,000, consistent with prior practice of paying an additional chairman retainer; and a stock grant with a grant date value equal to $55,000, pro-rated from Mr. Fix’s date of retirement, consistent with the annual stock grant received by non-employee directors on December 10, 2013.

In addition, after retirement, Mr. Fix will continue to receive health insurance he received immediately prior to his retirement date paid as COBRA continuation premium for 18 months from his date of retirement.  At the end of the COBRA period, Mr. Fix will receive reimbursement of insurance premiums for private insurance for a period of six months.  Mr. Fix will also retain the use of a Company provided vehicle, including reimbursement for fuel and maintenance costs; annual reimbursement for tax preparation fees for calendar 2014 and 2015; and continued use of a Company provided cell phone and laptop computer.

The Compensation Committee of the Board also approved an acceleration of the payment of Mr. Fix’s 2014 annual incentive bonus so that it will be paid to Mr. Fix on a pro-rata basis, at the target bonus amount established by the Compensation Committee of the Board in August 2013, on his last day of employment.  Mr. Fix will vest, upon retirement, in all outstanding equity compensation previously awarded to him, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the 2008 Long Term Incentive Plan and awards made pursuant to that plan.
