 (e)            Amendment and Restatement of Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan
On May 19, 2015, the shareholders of Interface, Inc. (the "Company") approved an amendment and restatement of the Interface, Inc. Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan.  The amended and restated plan was adopted by the Company's Board of Directors on February 18, 2015, subject to shareholder approval.  The following summary description of the Interface, Inc. Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the "Stock Incentive Plan" or the "Plan"), is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Plan, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
The Stock Incentive Plan provides for grants of restricted stock, incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, deferred shares, performance shares and performance units.  As amended and restated, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued or transferred under the Stock Incentive Plan on or after the effective date of February 18, 2015, is 5,161,020, constituting the sum of (a) 4,900,000 shares not previously authorized for issuance under any plan, plus (b) 149,770 shares remaining available for issuance under the Plan but not subject to outstanding awards immediately prior to such effective date, plus (c) 111,250 unissued shares subject to outstanding and unexercised stock option awards immediately prior to such effective date; provided, however, that each share issued after such effective date pursuant to an award other than a stock option will reduce the number of remaining shares available by 1.33 shares.  No award may be granted after the tenth anniversary of the effective date, provided that all awards granted prior to such date shall continue in effect thereafter subject to the terms thereof and of the Plan.

The Stock Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.  All employees of the Company or one of its subsidiaries, outside directors and consultants or independent contractors performing bona fide services for the Company or one of its subsidiaries, are eligible for consideration as participants under the Plan, although only employees are eligible to receive grants of incentive stock options.  The Compensation Committee has authority to determine the participants to whom awards will be granted, the form and amount of the awards, the dates of grant, vesting period, option prices (in the case of awards of options), performance objectives (in the case of restricted shares, deferred shares, performance shares or performance units) and other terms of each award.  No participant may receive awards or options representing more than 500,000 shares of Common Stock or 1,000,000 performance units during any calendar year under the Stock Incentive Plan.
