ITEM 1.01  

ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

 

On May 22, 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Hub Group, Inc. granted certain of the Company’s officers performance units. The performance units entitle the recipients to receive restricted shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock contingent upon the achievement of an operating income earnings target.

 

In order for these performance units to be earned and converted to restricted stock, the Company’s operating income for 2006, 2007 and 2008 must meet a specified target amount. No restricted stock will be awarded and the performance units will be canceled and forfeited should the Company fail to meet the specified target amount.

 

Should the employees earn restricted stock under this program, this restricted stock will be granted in early 2009 and then vest ratably as of the first business day of January in each of 2010, 2011 and 2012 provided the officer remains an employee of the Company on each of such vesting dates.

 

David P. Yeager received 38,710 performance units, Mark A. Yeager received 32,258 performance units, Thomas M. White received 32,258 performance units, David L. Marsh received 21,505 performance units and Christopher R. Kravas received 21,505 performance units.

 

The total number of performance units awarded to the 12 participants is 296,771, having a value on the date of grant of $13.8 million. This $13.8 million is the maximum amount that would be recorded as salary expense during this approximately five and one half year period assuming the performance target is met.

 

A copy of the form of the performance unit agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and a copy of the form of the Company’s restricted stock agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.2 to this Form 8-K.
