Item 5.02. DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS.

On May 15, 2014, Richard G. Fanelli resigned as a member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of NN, Inc. ( the “Company”). Mr. Fanelli’s resignation from the Board was not the result of any disagreement with the Company, its management or its operations, policies or practices.

Also on May 15, 2014, the Board appointed William Dries as a Class III director to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Fanelli’s resignation. Mr. Dries will serve as a director of the Company through the 2016 annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company. Mr. Dries will serve as Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Board and as a member of the Board’s Compensation Committee.

Mr. Dries previously served as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at EnPro Industries, Inc., a NYSE listed, engineered industrial products manufacturer until his retirement in 2011. Prior to joining EnPro, he was Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at United Dominion Industries, a machine and instrument manufacturer, which was acquired by SPX Industries in 2001. Earlier in his tenure at United Dominion he served as Manager of Accounting and Senior Vice President of Finance and Controller. Prior to joining United Dominion, Mr. Dries was an audit principal at Ernst & Young in New York for 11 years. He holds a MBA from Rutgers University.

In connection with his election to the Board and pursuant to the terms of the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan, Mr. Dries has been granted an option to purchase 2,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The shares subject to such option will vest on May 15, 2015. In addition, pursuant to the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan, Mr. Dries has been granted 4,000 shares of restricted common stock. The shares of restricted stock will vest in equal annual installments over three years beginning on May 15, 2015.

The Company has entered into its standard form of indemnification agreement with Mr. Dries (the “Indemnification Agreement”), effective as of the date of his election to the Board. The Indemnification Agreement provides, among other things, that the Company will indemnify Mr. Dries under the circumstances and to the extent provided for therein, for certain liabilities, expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and costs in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative arising out of his service as a director of the Company or any other company or enterprise to which he provides services at the Company’s request. The foregoing description of the terms and conditions of the Indemnification Agreement is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Indemnification Agreement, the form of which was previously filed as Exhibit 10.6 to Amendment No. 1 to its Registration Statement on Form S-3/A filed July 15, 2002 (File No. 333-89950).
