The Cash Incentive Plan allows for the payment of incentive awards to senior executive officers upon the achievement of financial and other business goals of the Company as established by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee may use only objective measures of financial performance specified in the Cash Incentive Plan itself (or approved by the Company's shareholders at a later date), and it must specify the relationship between the level of the award and the performance measure. Payment of awards under the Cash Incentive Plan are entirely contingent on the achievement of the specified objective measures of performance.</p>

Because Section 162(m), by its terms, limits its application to a corporation's chief executive officer and four other most highly compensated officers, it is not presently expected that any person other than those five officers would receive payments under the Cash Incentive Plan in any year.</p>

Item 3.03
Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
As described in Item 5.07 below, at the annual meeting of shareholders of SpartanNash Company (the "Company") held on June 3, 2015, the shareholders approved amendments to the Company's articles of incorporation to eliminate supermajority shareholder voting requirements with respect to:
·
the approval of certain business combinations;
·
certain changes to the Company's articles of incorporation; and
·
amendments to, or the repeal of, the Company's bylaws by the shareholders.
As a result of the amendments, holders of the Company's common stock may now approve the actions described above by the affirmative vote of a simple majority of shares outstanding, or other voting standard as may be prescribed by the Michigan Business Corporation Act.
In addition, shareholders approved an amendment to the articles of incorporation to delete a provision relating to the Michigan Control Share Act.  The Control Share Act had been previously repealed by the Michigan legislature, and therefore the amendment will not have a substantive effect on shareholder rights.
The amendments to the articles of the incorporation became effective on June 3, 2015.
Item 5.02.
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of
Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
As described in Item 5.07 below, at the Company's annual meeting of shareholders on June 3, 2015, the shareholders approved the SpartanNash Company Stock Incentive Plan of 2015 (the "Stock Incentive Plan"), and the SpartanNash Company Amended and Restated Executive Cash Incentive Plan of 2015 (the "Cash Incentive Plan").
The Stock Incentive Plan
On February 25, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company, acting on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved and adopted the Stock Incentive Plan, subject to shareholder approval. The effective date of the Stock Incentive Plan is May 10, 2015.
The Stock Incentive Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, which is comprised solely of independent directors. The Stock Incentive Plan authorizes the following types of awards to be made to associates and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries, as designated by the Compensation Committee: (1) stock options, (2) stock appreciation rights, or SARs, (3) restricted stock and restricted stock units, (4) other stock-based awards, in the discretion of the Compensation Committee, and (5) dividend equivalents. At least 95% of the awards made under the Stock Incentive Plan must be subject to a one-year minimum vesting period.
Subject to adjustment as provided in the Stock Incentive Plan, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock reserved and available for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the Stock Incentive Plan is 2,500,000.
Additional details of the Stock Incentive Plan are included in the Company's 2015 Proxy Statement, under the heading "Stock Incentive Plan of 2015." The foregoing summary is qualified in its
2
entirety by reference to the full text of the Stock Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Cash Incentive Plan
The Cash Incentive Plan is designed and intended to provide participants with the opportunity to earn incentive compensation that qualifies as "performance based" under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code ("Section 162(m)"). The Cash Incentive Plan allows for the payment of incentive awards to senior executive officers upon the achievement of financial and other business goals of the Company as established by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee may use only objective measures of financial performance specified in the Cash Incentive Plan itself (or approved by the Company's shareholders at a later date), and it must specify the relationship between the level of the award and the performance measure. Payment of awards under the Cash Incentive Plan are entirely contingent on the achievement of the specified objective measures of performance.
The Compensation Committee intends to limit participation in the Cash Incentive Plan to those individuals who are expected to receive compensation that would not otherwise be tax deductible under Section 162(m). Because Section 162(m), by its terms, limits its application to a corporation's chief executive officer and four other most highly compensated officers, it is not presently expected that any person other than those five officers would receive payments under the Cash Incentive Plan in any year.
The above description of the Cash Incentive Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan, which is attached as Exhibit 10.2, which is incorporated herein by reference.
