Item 5.02.
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers;
Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
(d) On July 10, 2012, the Board of Directors
(the "Board") of Francesca's Holdings Corporation (the "Company") appointed Ms. Marie Toulantis to
serve as a Class I independent director on the Board, effective immediately. Ms. Toulantis will serve as the Chair of Board's
Audit Committee beginning August 6, 2012.
There was no arrangement or understanding
between Ms. Toulantis and any other person pursuant to which Ms. Toulantis was appointed as a director of the Company. There are
no family relationships between Ms. Toulantis and any director or executive officer of the Company, and Ms. Toulantis has no direct
or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
In connection with Ms. Toulantis'
service on the Board, Ms. Toulantis will receive a $40,000 annual retainer from the Company. Ms. Toulantis will also receive a
$10,000 annual retainer for serving as the Chair of the Audit Committee. Her retainers will be prorated during her first year of
service. On July 10, 2012, Ms. Toulantis also received a stock option grant under the 2011 Francesca's Holdings Equity Incentive
Plan (the "2011 Plan") to purchase 10,000 shares of the Company's common stock. Subject to her continued service
through the applicable vesting date, the grant will vest in equal annual installments on each anniversary of the award date over
a five-year period commencing with the first anniversary of the grant date. The terms and conditions of the stock option grant
are similar to the terms and conditions of the stock options granted to employees generally.
(e) In connection with Ms. Kyong Gill's
retirement as Executive Vice Chairperson of the Company, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved the acceleration of the
vesting of a portion of Ms. Gill's nonqualified stock option, which was previously granted to Ms. Gill on October 4, 2011.
In connection with such acceleration, the vesting of the portion of the nonqualified stock option relating to 50,000 shares of
the Company's common stock occurred on July 9, 2012.
