Item 5.02 Departure of Director.
Effective September 10, 2010, Glenn R. Mahone resigned from the Board of Directors of Matthews International Corporation (the “Company”). The resignation was not due to any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies or practices. Mr. Mahone is a partner at Reed Smith LLP, a law firm that provides legal services to the Company. Although the Company and Mr. Mahone believe that no conflicts exist or have occurred as a result of Mr. Mahone's position with Reed Smith and his duties as a director, Mr. Mahone has resigned to avoid even the mere suggestion of any such conflict. The Company thanks Mr. Mahone for his many contributions to the Company and wishes him continued success in his future endeavors.
