style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">The Compensation and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors of Kimball International, Inc. (the &#8220;Company&#8221;), at its February 16, 2015 meeting, approved the form of Performance Unit Award Agreement (the &#8220;Agreement&#8221;), to be used to grant performance units to senior executive officers of the Company.&#160; Awards under the form of Agreement will typically be earned and vested over a three-year period, based entirely on the performance of the Company&#8217;s shares in comparison to the share performance of an approved group of peer companies, an incentive plan measure known as relative total shareholder return (&#8220;RTSR&#8221;).&#160; Following a series of key events beginning on October 31, 2014 with the spin-off of its electronic manufacturing services segment, the concurrent retirement of the Company&#8217;s former CEO/President and Chairman, and the equalization of two classes of shares, the Board is taking action to provide long-term performance incentives for senior executives on the Company&#8217;s new management team with focus being given to aligning executive compensation with RTSR.&#160; The Agreement is subject to the terms of the Amended and Restated 2003 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the &#8220;Plan&#8221;), pursuant to which the Company may grant a variety of stock incentive awards to participating employees of the Company.&#160; </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">The Company plans to grant Performance Units to Robert F. Schneider, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Donald W. Van Winkle, President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, and Michelle R. Schroeder, Chief Financial Officer of the Company during fiscal year 2015.  The Board of Directors and the Compensation and Governance Committee believe it to be in the best interests of the Company and its share owners for its officers and other key employees to obtain or increase their stock ownership interest in the Company to better align the personal interests of officers and key employees with those of the Company's share owners, and further believes that the RTSR incentive measure is strongly aligned with share owner interest. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">Once granted the Performance Unit awards will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the applicable Performance Unit Award Agreement.

The Plan was previously filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 21, 2013.</font></div><div

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
The Compensation and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors of Kimball International, Inc. (the "Company"), at its February 16, 2015 meeting, approved the form of Performance Unit Award Agreement (the "Agreement"), to be used to grant performance units to senior executive officers of the Company.  Awards under the form of Agreement will typically be earned and vested over a three-year period, based entirely on the performance of the Company's shares in comparison to the share performance of an approved group of peer companies, an incentive plan measure known as relative total shareholder return ("RTSR").  Following a series of key events beginning on October 31, 2014 with the spin-off of its electronic manufacturing services segment, the concurrent retirement of the Company's former CEO/President and Chairman, and the equalization of two classes of shares, the Board is taking action to provide long-term performance incentives for senior executives on the Company's new management team with focus being given to aligning executive compensation with RTSR.  The Agreement is subject to the terms of the Amended and Restated 2003 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), pursuant to which the Company may grant a variety of stock incentive awards to participating employees of the Company.
The Company plans to grant Performance Units to Robert F. Schneider, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Donald W. Van Winkle, President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company, and Michelle R. Schroeder, Chief Financial Officer of the Company during fiscal year 2015.  The Board of Directors and the Compensation and Governance Committee believe it to be in the best interests of the Company and its share owners for its officers and other key employees to obtain or increase their stock ownership interest in the Company to better align the personal interests of officers and key employees with those of the Company's share owners, and further believes that the RTSR incentive measure is strongly aligned with share owner interest.
Once granted the Performance Unit awards will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the applicable Performance Unit Award Agreement. The form of Performance Unit Award Agreement is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The Plan was previously filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 21, 2013.
