Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Culp, Inc. (the “Company”) on July 27, 2022 (the “Original Report”) amends Item 5.02 of the Original Report relating to the announcement that Franklin N. Saxon, the Company’s Executive Chairman, intends to modify his role with the Company and no longer be a full time employee or an executive officer of the Company, effective September 1, 2022. This Amendment No. 1 is filed to add information about an outstanding restricted stock unit award for Mr. Saxon and the treatment of that award going forward. The disclosures in the Original Report are amended and restated in their entirety and are replaced with the following:

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

On July 21, 2022, Culp, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that Mr. Franklin N. Saxon, the Company’s Executive Chairman, will modify his role within the Company. Effective September 1, 2022, Mr. Saxon’s duties will change such that he is less involved in day to day management, as he will no longer be a full time employee or an executive officer of the Company. Mr. Saxon will remain on the Company’s board of directors and will continue to serve as Chairman of the board. In addition, he will provide advice, strategic planning, and consulting services to the Company on an ongoing basis.

In recognition of Mr. Saxon’s continued service to the Company, his intimate knowledge of the Company’s business, and his relationships in the Company’s industry, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Company’s board of directors approved an amended compensation arrangement for Mr. Saxon, including annual cash compensation of $350,000, to be paid quarterly. Mr. Saxon’s participation in the Company’s employee benefits programs, as well as his auto allowance, will terminate.

On August 10, 2022, the Committee met and took note of a Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Company and Mr. Saxon that contains a performance period that will not have ended on September 1, 2022. The Agreement provides that the restricted stock unit award granted thereunder is forfeited upon a termination of employment, except as otherwise determined by the Committee in its sole discretion, which may determine that the award will not be forfeited in various circumstances, including “circumstances in which the Recipient will continue to provide Services” to the Company “as a director, consultant or independent contractor,” as those terms are defined in the Agreement. The Committee took action at its meeting to determine that Mr. Saxon’s restricted stock unit award under the Agreement will not be forfeited in connection with the change in his role scheduled to occur on September 1, 2022. The restricted stock unit award to Mr. Saxon was granted pursuant to the previously disclosed Culp Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, and additional information about the award granted to Mr. Saxon was previously disclosed in the Company’s 2020 proxy statement filed in connection with the Company’s 2020 annual meeting of shareholders.

Effective September 1, 2022, the Change of Control and Non-Competition Agreement between Mr. Saxon and the Company, dated September 27, 2007 (the “Change of Control Agreement”), shall terminate, and all rights of Mr. Saxon thereunder shall be extinguished.
