Reference is made to Item 5.02 of the Current Report on Form 8-K of CBRL Group, Inc. (the “Company”) dated July 31, 2008 (the “July 8-K”) and filed with the Commission on August 6, 2008, which is incorporated herein by this reference.  Additionally, on September 25, 2008, the following compensatory plans or arrangements were approved for certain officers and/or directors of the Company.  In accordance with the instructions to Item 5.02 to Form 8-K, the information provided in this Current Report on Form 8-K covers only those current executive officers who were “named executive officers” in the Company’s most recent filing with the Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that required disclosure pursuant to Item 402(c) of Regulation S-K.
 
2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2009 LTI”)

In the July 8-K, the Company reported that the 2009 LTI would be established by the Company’s Compensation Committee in September 2008 and reported that each officer’s “Target Percentage” had been established under the 2009 LTI as follows:

 
Name
Target
Percentage
Mr. Woodhouse
250%
Mr. Barber
200%
Mr. Maxwell
80%
Mr. Shoaf
130%

The 2009 LTI consists of two components – a stock option grant and participation in the 2008 Long-Term Performance Plan (the “LTPP”).  The stock option grants were awarded by the Committee on September 25, 2008 as follows:

 
Name
Options
Mr. Woodhouse
128,505
Mr. Barber
51,402
Mr. Maxwell
14,279
Mr. Shoaf
27,696

The exercise price of those options was $27.02, the closing market price of the Company’s stock on the date of the grant.  The options will vest ratably over a three year period.

LTPP participants receive awards consisting of restricted stock (“LTPP Awards”) if the Company achieves certain pre-established goals consisting of Revenue and Average EBIT Margin, as defined in the LTPP, during the Company’s 2009 and 2010 fiscal years (“2009” and “2010,” respectively).  LTPP Awards are earned based on 2009
 
2
and 2010 actual results and are distributable as soon as practicable after the Committee certifies achievement of the 2009 and 2010 performance goals.

Under the LTPP, each officer has a “Target Award” determined by dividing: (1) the product of (a) two times the officer’s 2009 annual base salary and (b) that officer’s “Target Percentage” (the “Target Award Value”) by (2) the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the last day of 2008 (August 1, 2008).  The Target Award is then multiplied by a “Performance Factor” which is determined based upon relative achievement of the Revenue and Average EBIT Margin goals during 2009 and 2010.  The Performance Factor ranges from 0% to a maximum of 200%.  Accordingly, LTPP Awards can range in value from $0 to two (2) times the Target Award Value.
