In keeping with other expense reduction measures, our Board of Directors voted to reduce by 25% the value of the 2009 annual awards of stock options and restricted deferred stock units to be made to our nonemployee directors, pursuant to an Amendment to the Director Compensation Program under the Intermec, Inc. 2008 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Amendment").  The Black-Scholes value of stock options to be awarded to each nonemployee director in 2009 was reduced from $80,000 to $60,000.  The value of restricted deferred stock units to be awarded to each nonemployee director in 2009, based on fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant, also was reduced from $80,000 to $60,000.

The Amendment was approved by our Board of Directors upon the recommendation of its Governance and Nominating Committee on May 26, 2009.  The Amendment is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1.

The reduction of the 2009 equity grants to nonemployee directors described above follows reductions made earlier this year in the salaries of executive officers for 2009 and in the cash-denominated retainer and meeting fees of our nonemployee directors for 2009, as disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K dated February 4, 2009.

Other Events.
 
On May 27, 2009, we held our 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.  According to the preliminary tabulation, over 90% of our shares outstanding were present in person or by proxy.

Proposal 1 related to the election of directors.  At the meeting, all nine of the incumbent director nominees were elected for a term expiring at the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and when their respective successors are elected and qualified.  According to preliminary results of the voting, each nominee received the affirmative vote of holders of more than 96% of the shares present and voting at the meeting, including votes “against” the nominee.  The directors elected at our annual meeting were:
 
Ÿ  
Patrick J. Byrne

Eric J. Draut

Gregory K. Hinckley

Proposal 2, an advisory proposal to ratify the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2009, received the votes of a majority of the shares present and was approved.

These were the only items submitted to a vote of the stockholders at our 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Information regarding the final voting results on matters submitted to a vote of security holders will be included in our Report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2009.
