Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On June 23, 2016, the Compensation and Governance Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Kimball Electronics, Inc. (the “Company”) approved performance share awards for fiscal year 2017 with an amended performance share calculation to determine the amount of shares earned and to be issued to each participant (the “Amendment”). The Company awards performance shares to officers and other key employees, including each of our Named Executive Officers. The calculation was previously based upon the attainment of the applicable bonus percentage calculated under the Company’s profit sharing incentive bonus plan as applied to a total potential share award made and approved by the Committee. The amended calculation will be a combination of the bonus percentage attainment component, adjusted to reference three-year average bonus percentage, and a growth attainment component, which is the Company’s growth in sales revenue based on comparison of its three-year compounded annual growth rate (“CAGR”) with the Electronics Manufacturing Services Industry’s three-year CAGR.

The foregoing description is only a summary of the Amendment. For complete text of this Amendment, see the Form of Long-Term Performance Share Award Agreement filed with this Current Report Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1, which is incorporated herein by reference.
