New Form Award Agreement

On June 24, 2014, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Five Below, Inc. (the “Company”), as administrator of the Five Below, Inc. Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), approved new forms of Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement for Executives and Employees. In addition, the Committee approved a new form of Award Agreement for Restricted Stock Units, which provides for time-based and performance-based vesting conditions. Each of the new form award agreements is attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 and incorporated herein by reference.

Equity Awards

On June 24, 2014, the Committee approved grants of non-qualified stock options and restricted stock units under the Plan to certain employees of the Company, including Kenneth R. Bull, one of the Company’s named executive officers. The number of non-qualified stock options and restricted stock units granted to Mr. Bull and the approximate grant date fair value of the awards is as follows:
Named Executive Officer
  
Non-qualified Stock Options
  
Target Number of Restricted Stock Units
 
Grant Date Fair Value
Kenneth R. Bull
  
9,392
  
4,520
 
$350,000

Pursuant to the Plan and Mr. Bull’s option award agreement, 50% of the option grant will vest and become exercisable two years after the vesting commencement date, June 24, 2014, and the remaining 50% will vest and become exercisable in 25% increments on each of the third and fourth anniversaries of vesting commencement date, subject generally to Mr. Bull’s continued employment with the Company. In addition, Mr. Bull’s restricted stock units will vest contingent on the Company’s achievement of specified levels of cumulative adjusted operating income for fiscal years 2014, 2015 and 2016, and are subject generally to his continued service during the performance period.  Mr. Bull is eligible to receive from 50% to 150% of the target number of restricted stock units awarded if at least the specified threshold level of adjusted operating income is achieved.

As previously announced on June 8, 2014, the Company entered into an employment letter with Joel D. Anderson which provided for certain equity awards to be effective on the date Mr. Anderson begins service with the Company. On June 24, 2014, the Committee, in connection with approving the new form of award agreements described above, approved each equity award agreement for Mr. Anderson. The equity award grants to Mr. Anderson include a performance-based vesting restricted stock unit award with a target value of $600,000, which has the same terms as described above for Mr. Bull.

The award agreements for the performance-based restricted stock units granted to each of Messrs. Bull and Anderson provide that if a change in control of the Company occurs during the grantee’s service with the Company, his performance-based vesting restricted stock units will fully vest at the target level. If the grantee ceases to be employed by the Company as a result of his death or disability, his performance-based vesting restricted stock units will remain outstanding during the three-year performance period and the grantee will vest in a prorated portion (based on the his service over the three-year performance period) of his performance-based vesting restricted stock units that would otherwise have vested based on satisfaction of the applicable performance goal.

Each option award and restricted stock award described above for Messrs. Bull and Anderson is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and the new forms of Non-Qualified Stock Option Agreement for Executives and Award Agreement for Restricted Stock Units, respectively, which other than as disclosed herein, is in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.3.
