Interest Rate Swap

In 2019, concurrent with the termination of a previous interest rate swap, the Corporation entered into a new interest rate swap transaction to hedge $75 million of outstanding variable rate revolver borrowings against future interest rate volatility. Under the terms of this interest rate swap, the Corporation pays a fixed rate of 1.42 percent and receives one month LIBOR on a $75 million notional value expiring April 2023. As of January 2, 2021, the fair value of the Corporation's interest rate swap liability was $2.3 million. The unrecognized change in value of the interest rate swap, which includes the unamortized gain on the termination of the previous interest rate swap, is reported net of tax as $(1.8) million in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In May 2017, the Corporation registered 300,000 shares of its common stock under its 2017 Equity Plan for Non-Employee Directors of HNI Corporation (the "2017 Director Plan"). The 2017 Director Plan replaced the 2007 Equity Plan for Non-Employee Directors of HNI Corporation (the "2007 Director Plan" and together with the 2017 Director Plan, the "Director Plans"). After approval of the 2017 Director Plan, no awards were granted under the 2007 Director Plan. The 2017 Director Plan permits the Corporation to issue to its non-employee directors options to purchase shares of Corporation common stock, restricted stock or restricted stock units of the Corporation, and awards of Corporation common stock. The 2017 Director Plan also permits non-employee directors to elect to receive all or a portion of their annual retainers and other compensation in the form of shares of Corporation common stock.

Common stock was issued under the Director Plans as follows:


	2020	2019	2018
Director Plan issued shares of common stock	37,833	37,269	27,745

During 2017, shareholders approved the HNI Corporation Members' Stock Purchase Plan (the "2017 MSPP") to replace the expired 2007 Members' Stock Purchase Plan (the "2007 MSPP" and together with the 2017 MSPP, the "MSPPs"). Under the 2017 MSPP, 800,000 shares of common stock were registered for issuance to participating members. After approval of the 2017 MSPP, no awards were granted under the 2007 MSPP. Under the 2017 MSPP, rights to purchase stock are granted on a quarterly basis to all participating members who customarily work 20 hours or more per week and for five months or more in any calendar year. The price of the stock purchased under the MSPP is 85 percent of the closing price on the exercise date. No member may purchase stock under the MSPP in an amount which exceeds a maximum fair value of $25,000 in any calendar year. The following table provides the details of stock under the MSPPs:


	2020		2019		2018
Shares of common stock issued	92,701		76,041		74,020

An additional 500,522 shares were available for issuance under the 2017 MSPP as of January 2, 2021.

The Corporation has entered into change in control employment agreements with certain officers. According to the agreements, a change in control occurs when a third person or entity becomes the beneficial owner of 20 percent or more of the Corporation’s common stock, when more than one-third of the Board is composed of persons not recommended by at least three-fourths of the incumbent Board, upon certain business combinations involving the Corporation, or upon approval by the Corporation’s shareholders of a complete liquidation or dissolution. Upon a change in control, a key member is deemed to have a two-year employment agreement with the Corporation, and all of his or her benefits vest under the Corporation’s compensation plans. If, at any time within two years of the change in control, his or her employment is terminated by the Corporation for any reason other than cause or disability, or by the key member for good reason, as such terms are defined in the agreement, then the key member

is entitled to receive, among other benefits, a severance payment equal to two times (three times for the Corporation’s Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer) annual salary and the average of the prior two years' bonuses.
