ITEM 5.02.  DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS.
As previously announced, on May 22, 2009 Select Comfort Corporation (the "Company") entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") with Sterling SC Investor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Sterling SC") and an affiliate of Sterling Capital Partners III, L.P.
("SCP" and, together with Sterling SC, "Sterling"), that provides for the sale of 50 million shares of the Company's common stock to Sterling SC at a purchase price of $0.70 per share for gross proceeds of $35.0 million (the "Sterling Transaction").
The Securities Purchase Agreement provides that subject to, conditioned upon and immediately following the closing of the Sterling Transaction (the "Closing"), the Company will have nine members on its Board of Directors, which will include five members designated by Sterling SC and four members designated by the current Board
of Directors.  Additionally, so long as Sterling SC beneficially owns, in the aggregate, at least 20% of the total voting power of the Company's outstanding common stock entitled to vote for elections of directors, Sterling SC will be entitled to designate for nomination by the Board of Directors a number of members of the Board of Directors proportional to its ownership of the Company's outstanding common stock entitled to vote for elections of directors, rounded up to the nearest whole
number of directors.  On May 22, 2009, Thomas J. Albani, Christine M. Day, Stephen L. Gulis, Jr., William R. McLaughlin, Michael A. Peel, and Ervin R. Shames tendered their conditional resignations from the Board of Directors of the Company and on August 14, 2009 the Board of Directors accepted those resignations, all of which is subject to, conditioned upon, and effective immediately following the Closing.
