Explanatory Note

We are filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A to correct an inadvertent error in the text of Part II, Item 5 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended July 3, 2011 (the “Original Report”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on July 27, 2011. This Amendment correctly reflects the original determination of our Board of Directors to include a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation in the Company’s proxy materials every year until the next required advisory vote on the frequency of shareholder votes on executive compensation. Pursuant to Rule 12b-15 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, this amendment contains the complete text of Part II, Item 5, as amended.

Except as described above, we have not modified or updated other disclosures presented in the Original Report. This Amendment does not amend, update or change the financial statements or other disclosures in the Original Report and does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Report. This Amendment should be read in conjunction with our other filings with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Report.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On August 2, 2011, the Board of Directors of Hawkins, Inc. (the “Company”) and John S. McKeon, Chairman of the Board, agreed to amend the compensation arrangement relating to Mr. McKeon’s provision of consulting services to the Company by reducing his compensation from $6,250 per month to $5,000 per month. This arrangement is separate from the compensation paid to Mr. McKeon for his service as Chairman of the Board which was not revised at this time. Either the Company or Mr. McKeon can terminate this arrangement at any time.

 

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officer; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On August 2, 2011, our Compensation Committee adopted an Executive Severance Plan (the “Severance Plan”) to be entered into with our Chief Executive Officer and certain other key employees (collectively, “Covered Executives”).

Covered Executives will be eligible to receive specified payments and benefits if our Company terminates their employment (i) without “cause” at any time or (ii) for “good reason” within two years after a “change in control.” The Compensation Committee is responsible for assigning each Covered Executive to one of four tiers, which determines the duration of salary continuation and amount of change in control payments for which a Covered Executive may be eligible. Initially, the Chief Executive Officer will be assigned to Tier 1 and the Chief Financial Officer, Vice President—Industrial and Vice President—Water Treatment Group will be assigned to Tier 3 and our General Counsel will be assigned to Tier 4.

The payments and benefits that will be paid to Covered Executives under the Severance Plan as a result of a qualifying termination of employment include (i) base salary for the salary continuation period associated with their Tier, (ii) COBRA continuation coverage for medical and dental benefits for a maximum of 18 months (with Covered Executive to be charged the active employee rate for coverage) , and (iii) the reasonable costs of outplacement services for a maximum of 1 year.

The additional payments and benefits that will be paid to Covered Executives under the Severance Plan as a result of a qualifying termination of employment in connection with a change in control include (i) six additional months of salary continuation, (ii) a benefit equal to the annual bonus the Covered Executive would have received (measured at target) if the Covered Executive had remained employed and eligible to receive such bonus for the entire salary continuation period, and (iii) a benefit equal to the additional benefit, if any, that would have been received under the Hawkins, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan if the Covered Executive had remained employed and eligible for the Profit Sharing Plan for the entire salary continuation period.

A Covered Executive must enter into an employment agreement with the Company that contains covenants against competition, disclosure and solicitation, and as a release of claims in order to qualify for payments and benefits under the Severance Plan.
