Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On March 12, 2025, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Shoe Carnival, Inc. (the “Company”) established the performance criteria and targets for the fiscal 2025 bonus payable in fiscal 2026 under the Company’s Executive Incentive Compensation Plan. The performance criterion is operating income, calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“Operating Income”). Subjective factors based on an executive officer’s individual performance can reduce an executive officer’s bonus. Performance below the threshold level would result in no payout, performance at the threshold level of performance would result in a payout at 25% of the executive officer’s target bonus amount and performance at the maximum level of performance would result in a payout at 175% of the executive officer’s target bonus amount, with payout for performance between threshold and target and between target and maximum Operating Income interpolated.
The following table sets forth the percentage of salary the Company’s executive officers could earn based upon the attainment of the various levels of Operating Income:

J. Wayne Weaver, Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors and an executive officer, and Clifton E. Sifford, Vice Chairman of the Board and an executive officer, will not participate in the Executive Incentive Compensation Plan in fiscal 2025. Carl N. Scibetta, the Company’s Senior Executive Vice President, Chief Merchandising Officer, also will not participate in the Executive Incentive Compensation Plan in fiscal 2025 in light of his retirement from the Company in April 2025.
Effective on April 6, 2025, Tanya E. Gordon will succeed Mr. Scibetta as the Company’s Executive Vice President – Chief Merchandising Officer and an executive officer of the Company. Ms. Gordon will be eligible to earn a bonus for fiscal 2025 payable under the Executive Incentive Compensation Plan as follows: 18.75% of her base salary at threshold performance, 75% at target performance and 131.25% at maximum performance.
On March 12, 2025, the Compensation Committee also granted service-based restricted stock units and performance stock units under the Amended and Restated 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended and restated, the “2017 Equity Plan”) to the following executive officers:

Patrick C. Edwards |

Marc A. Chilton |
19,898 |
13,265 |
In addition, Ms. Gordon was awarded 13,469 performance stock units and 8,980 service-based restricted stock units.
The performance stock units may be earned based on the Company’s net income per diluted share for fiscal 2025. The Compensation Committee established a range of goals at threshold, target and maximum levels for which 25% to 175% of the target number of performance stock units may be earned, with payout for performance between threshold and target and between target and maximum net income per diluted share interpolated. Performance below the threshold level would result in forfeiture of all of the performance stock units. Any earned performance stock units will vest in full on March 31, 2028, provided that the executive officer maintains continuous service with the Company through such date.
The service-based restricted stock units granted to the executive officers vest 50% on March 31, 2027 and 50% on March 31, 2028, provided that the executive officer maintains continuous service with the Company through such dates.
The restricted stock units and the performance stock units will be subject to the terms and conditions of the 2017 Equity Plan. The 2017 Equity Plan was previously filed as Exhibit 10.5 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 6, 2024.
