Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On November 10, 2011, The LGL Group, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a new employment agreement with Gregory P. Anderson (the “Anderson Employment Agreement”) to serve as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, effective as of November 2, 2011 (the “Effective Date”). Under the Anderson Employment Agreement, Mr. Anderson receives an annual base salary of $200,000 and is eligible to receive annual bonuses based upon the achievement of certain management objectives determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”). The term of the Anderson Employment Agreement is two years, starting on the Effective Date.
 
Pursuant to the Anderson Employment Agreement, if Mr. Anderson’s employment is terminated by the Company for cause (as defined under the Anderson Employment Agreement) or by Mr. Anderson other than for good reason (as defined under the Anderson Employment Agreement), Mr. Anderson will receive his base salary through the date of termination. If Mr. Anderson’s employment is terminated as a result of his death or disability, Mr. Anderson or his estate (as applicable) will receive his base salary through the date of termination and any earned but unpaid portion of his annual bonus. If Mr. Anderson’s employment is terminated by the Company for reasons other than those stated above or by Mr. Anderson for good reason, or upon the expiration of the term of the Anderson Employment Agreement, Mr. Anderson will receive his base salary through the date of termination and $100,000 in severance payments ($50,000 payable in three equal monthly installments during the first three months after termination and the remaining $50,000 payable six months after termination), all of his unvested restricted shares of the Company’s common stock will vest (50% to vest six months after termination and the remaining 50% to vest one year after termination), and a portion of his unvested stock options deemed by the Compensation Committee to have been earned prior to termination will vest (such determination to be made as soon as reasonably practicable after the third anniversary of the grant date of any such options).
