<P ALIGN="CENTER">On March 25, 2005, the Board of Directors ("Board") of Shoe Carnival, Inc. (the "Company"), based on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee of the Board, approved the following actions:</P>
<B><P>Director's Compensation</P>
</B><P>The Board approved modifications to the compensation to be paid to the Company's non-employee directors. The annual retainer for each non-employee director was increased from $15,000 to $20,000. The Chairman of the Audit Committee will receive additional annual compensation of $5,000, while the Chairman of the Compensation Committee, Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Lead Director will each receive additional annual compensation of $2,000. </P>
<P>Non-employee directors will continue to receive a per meeting fee of $1,000 for each meeting of the Board and the accompanying committee meetings attended and $1,000 for each committee meeting attended in person in which the full Board does not meet. If the committee meeting is attended by conference call the non-employee directors will receive $750. The Company will continue to reimburse all directors for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with meetings of the Board. </P>
<P>The Board also suspended all further automatic grants of stock options to non-employee directors on April 1 of each year under the Company's Outside Director's Option Plan. The Board adopted, subject to shareholder approval, amendments to the Shoe Carnival, Inc. 2000 Stock Option and Incentive Plan to allow non-employee directors to participate. If the amendment is approved by shareholders at this year's annual meeting of shareholders, non-employee directors will receive an annual grant of 500 shares of restricted stock. It is contemplated that the restrictions on the shares will lapse only after a director no longer serves on the Board.</P>
