Section 8 – Other Events
Item 8.01 Other Events
On September 5, 2014, STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION (the "Company") filed a Proxy Statement (the "Proxy Statement") for its 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "Annual Meeting") to be held on October 7, 2014. The Company is providing additional information with respect to the Amended and Restated STRATTEC SECURITY CORPORATION Stock Incentive Plan (as proposed to be amended and restated, the "Stock Incentive Plan"), which shareholders are requested to approve at the Annual Meeting.
On September 30, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors approved an amendment to the definition of a "change in control" in Section 8(b) of the Stock Incentive Plan so that a change in control would occur upon the consummation rather than the approval by shareholders of certain transactions. Section 8(b) of the Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
