Item 5.02
DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS

(e) Compensatory Arrangements

On March 26, 2014, the Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors of Viad Corp (the “Company”) amended the Company’s long-term incentive agreements for executives to add forfeiture provisions that would apply to certain employment termination scenarios. Under the amendments to the forms of the Restricted Stock Agreement for executives, the Restricted Stock Units Agreement and the Performance Unit Agreement (the “Amendments”), which govern long-term incentive awards to the Company’s executive officers under the 2007 Viad Corp Omnibus Incentive Plan, an executive of the Company will forfeit long-term incentive awards granted in 2014 or thereafter if the executive’s employment is terminated due to retirement, disability or termination without cause within 12 months after the grant date. The Amendments further provide that long-term incentive awards will vest pro rata if the termination occurs after the 12-month forfeiture period lapses, and that the amount of such awards will be based on the length of time the executive is employed during the applicable vesting or performance period.

The above description of the Amendments is qualified in its entirety by reference to the forms of the Restricted Stock Agreement for executives, the Restricted Stock Units Agreement and the Performance Unit Agreement, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.A, 10.B and 10.C, respectively, and which are incorporated herein in their entirety by this reference.
