At a meeting on January 19, 2015, the Compensation Committee clarified its view that the January 30, 2014 award of 294,334 restricted shares to Mr. Ronald J. Kramer, Griffon’s Chief Executive Officer, was intended as a multi-year award, and therefore Mr. Kramer will not be considered for the grant of an annual equity award prior to fiscal year 2016.
