On May 5, 2020, the
Board of Directors of StoneMor Inc. (the Company) approved the second amendment (the Amendment) to the StoneMor Amended and Restated 2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the Plan), which increased the number of shares
of the Companys common stock reserved for delivery under the Plan by 1,375,000 shares, provided that such additional shares may not be delivered pursuant to awards under the Plan unless and until the increase is approved by the stockholders of
the Company, and any awards under the Plan with respect to such additional shares will be expressly conditioned upon receipt of such approval. The Company plans to submit the Plan, as so amended, to its stockholders for their approval at the 2020
annual meeting of stockholders.
The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and
qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Also on May 5, 2020, the Companys Board of Directors, at the recommendation of its Compensation, Nominating and Governance
Committee (the CNG Committee), approved certain voluntary temporary reductions in base salaries implemented by the Companys senior management as part of measures being taken to reduce expenses given the uncertainty regarding the
extent and potential duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the Companys financial condition. The voluntary changes included a reduction of 50% of the base salary for Joseph M. Redling,
President and Chief Executive Officer, 25% for Jeffrey DiGiovanni, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, and Austin K. So, Senior Vice President, Chief Legal Officer and Secretary, and reductions ranging from 10% to 25% for other
members of management. These voluntary base salary reductions, which began on April 20, 2020 and will continue for ten weeks, will not modify other rights under any agreements or employee benefits that are determined by reference to base salary
and will not give rise to any good reason resignation rights or any breach under the affected employees applicable arrangements with the Company.
At the CNG Committees recommendation, the Board also approved reductions of 50% of the quarterly retainer fee and additional Board
committee chair fees payable to non-employee directors for a ten-week period of the third quarter of 2020, consistent with Mr. Redlings voluntary reduction of
his base salary.
