The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved an Executive Long-Term Incentive Plan (“ELTIP”) for fiscal 2011 pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Incentive Plan of Magnetek, Inc. utilizing restricted stock award grants and, in some cases, stock option grants to certain designated management employees of the Company, including the following executive officers of the Company: Peter M. McCormick, President and Chief Executive Officer, Mary J. Schwenner, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Ryan D. Gile, Vice President and Corporate Controller and Scott S. Cramer, Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary.  The grant date of the restricted stock awards is August 24, 2010.  In general, the number of shares of Restricted Stock that each person will receive in the aggregate will be based upon a percentage of base salary (ranging up to 100%) and will be allocated between performance-based awards (in the range of 35% to 50%) and retention-based awards in the range of (50% to 65%).  Vesting of the retention-based awards is three-year cliff vesting.  Vesting of the performance-based awards is based 50% each upon achievement of audited adjusted EBITDA and total stockholder return over three-year cumulative period for fiscal year 2011 through fiscal year 2013.  To the extent the calculated amount of a restricted stock award would exceed plan limits, a recipient will receive the remainder in stock options that vest on the same basis.
