ITEM 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On January 16, 2009, the Compensation Committee of the board of directors of Genesco Inc. (the “Company”) set base salaries and target annual incentive awards under the Company’s previously-disclosed Amended and Restated EVA Incentive Compensation Plan (the “EVA Incentive Plan”) for officers of the Company for the fiscal year ending January 30, 2010 (“fiscal 2010”), including for the following named executive officers:
                     
Named               Target
Executive Officer   Title   Base Salary   Incentive Award
 
                   
Hal N. Pennington
  Chairman   $ 225,000     $ 75,000  
 
                   
Robert J. Dennis
  President and Chief Executive Officer     778,500       622,800  
 
                   
James S. Gulmi
  Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer     408,972       245,383  
 
                   
Jonathan D. Caplan
  Senior Vice President     330,000       198,000  
 
                   
James C. Estepa
  Senior Vice President     555,330       333,198  
The Committee determined that Mr. Dennis’ incentive award for fiscal 2010 will be calculated as though he were a corporate staff participant in the Company’s EVA Incentive Plan for the year. All other named executive officers are participants in the EVA Incentive Plan.
