(Edgar Glimpses Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) 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 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") of John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. (the "Registrant"), the Registrant's stockholders approved the John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Omnibus Plan").



The purpose of the Omnibus Plan is to foster and promote the long-term financial success of the Registrant by (i) motivating superior performance by means of performance-related incentives, (ii) encouraging and providing for the acquisition of an ownership interest in the Registrant by Omnibus Plan participants (including employees, executive officers and nonemployee directors), and (iii) enabling the Registrant to attract and retain qualified and competent persons as employees of the Registrant and to serve as members of the Board of Directors upon whose judgment, interest, and performance are required for the successful operations of the Registrant.

The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that are available for issuance pursuant to awards under the Omnibus Plan is 1,000,000.


The Omnibus Plan authorizes the following types of awards to be made to employees, officers or nonemployee directors of the Registrant as designated by the Compensation Committee of the Registrant: • Restricted stock and restricted stock units, which represent the right to receive shares of Common Stock in the future, each of which are subject to certain restrictions and conditions set by the Compensation Committee and also as set forth in the Omnibus Plan.

• Performance shares, which represent the right to receive shares of Common Stock in the future based on the achievement of one or more performance goals over a specified performance period. The number of performance shares earned over a performance period may vary based on the level of achieved performance.

• Performance units, which represent the right to receive shares of Common Stock or cash in the future based on the achievement of one or more performance goals over a specified performance period. The ultimate award earned over a performance period may vary based on the level of achieved performance.

• Stock options, which give the holder the right to purchase shares of Common Stock at a specified price during specified time periods.

• Stock appreciation rights, or SARs, which give the holder the right to receive the excess, if any, of the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on the date of exercise, over the grant price of the SAR.

• Other stock-based awards, in the discretion of the Compensation Committee, including unrestricted stock grants.

• Cash-based awards, as established by the Compensation Committee, including awards designed to qualify as performance-based awards under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

Additional details regarding the Omnibus Plan are included in the Registrant's 2014 Proxy Statement, under the heading "Proposal 4 - Approval of the John B.

Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan."
