(e) Bonus Pool Award Agreements

On April 30, 2013, Apogee Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Bonus Pool Award Agreement with each of the executive officers listed below, which sets forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which the executive officer may receive an annual bonus award under the shareholder-approved Apogee Enterprises, Inc. 2012 Executive Management Incentive Plan (the “Executive MIP”), a copy of which is on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 27, 2012. The agreement provides that the executive officer’s right to receive an annual cash bonus award will be determined based on the attainment of certain pre-set performance metrics for the fiscal year.

The performance metric to be used to establish the bonus pool under the Executive MIP for fiscal 2014 is operating income. The performance metrics to be used for determining awards under the Executive MIP for fiscal 2014 for the executive officers listed below are net sales, earnings per share and days working capital. The table below sets forth certain information with respect to fiscal 2014 annual bonus award payout ranges as a percentage of fiscal 2014 salary for the listed executive officers based on performance at the threshold, target and maximum performance levels.

⁽²⁾	Assumes target performance level is achieved for all performance metrics.

⁽³⁾	Assumes maximum performance level is achieved for all performance metrics.

In the event an executive officer’s employment is terminated during a fiscal year for any reason other than Disability or Retirement (as such terms are defined in the agreement) or death, the agreement provides that the executive officer will forfeit any and all rights under the Executive MIP and the agreement relating to such fiscal year. In accordance with the agreement, if an executive officer’s employment with the Company is terminated during the fiscal year as a result of Disability, Retirement or death, the executive officer, or the executive officer’s estate, as applicable, will receive a pro-rata cash payment after the end of the fiscal year to the extent that the threshold, target or maximum performance level of the performance metric is achieved.

The form of Bonus Pool Award Agreement used in connection with annual bonus awards under the Executive MIP, including the awards to executive officers listed above, is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference (the “Form of Bonus Pool Award Agreement”).

Time-Based Restricted Stock Awards

At meetings of the Company’s Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) and the Company’s Board of Directors held on April 30, 2013, the executive officers listed below were awarded shares of time-based restricted stock in the amounts indicated below:


Name	Number of Shares of Restricted Stock Awarded		Fully Vested Date

Such restricted stock awards were made pursuant to the shareholder-approved Apogee Enterprises, Inc. 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Stock Incentive Plan”), a copy of which is on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 28, 2011.

The shares of restricted stock vest in three equal annual installments commencing on the first anniversary date of such grant (such three-year period is referred to herein as the “Restricted Period”). In the event the executive officer’s employment is terminated prior to the end of the Restricted Period by reason of Retirement (as defined in the agreement) or involuntary termination without Cause (as defined in the agreement), the Committee has the right to cause the remaining unvested shares to be accelerated as of the date of such Retirement or involuntary termination without Cause. In the event the executive officer’s employment is terminated prior to the end of the Restricted Period by reason of Disability (as defined in the agreement) or death, the shares of restricted stock will become immediately vested in full.

In the event of a Change in Control (as defined in the Stock Incentive Plan) during the Restricted Period and the executive officer’s employment is simultaneously or subsequently terminated by the Company without Cause or by the executive officer for Good Reason (as defined in the agreement) during the Restricted Period, the restrictions with respect to all of the shares held by the executive officer at the time of termination shall lapse and the shares shall immediately vest as of the date of such termination of employment.
