Form 10-Q GENESCO INC For: May 01

Exhibit 10.a

FIRST AMENDMENT TO THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED

EVA INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

OF

GENESCO INC.

 

The Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Genesco Inc. (the “Company”) believes it is in the best interests of the Company’s shareholders to amend the EVA Plan in order to address changes to the EVA Plan deemed necessary as a result of the extraordinary effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business and anticipated recovery of the business from the pandemic. Without these one-time changes limiting bonus payouts, the EVA Plan would likely result in positive multiples in Fiscal 2022 that are not proportionate to actual operating results and shareholder value creation.

 

Pursuant to resolutions duly adopted by the Committee, the Third Amended and Restated EVA Incentive Compensation Plan of the Company (the “Plan”) is hereby amended as follows:

 

1.Amendments.  Anything to the contrary in the Plan notwithstanding:

Exhibit 10.a

 

 

2.Miscellaneous.  Except as expressly modified by this Amendment, all of the terms and conditions of the Plan shall remain in full force and effect.  In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Amendment, the terms and conditions of this Amendment shall control and govern. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Plan.

3.Effective Date. This Amendment is dated April 6, 2021, to be effective as of January 31, 2021.
