Exhibit 10.3
SCHAWK, INC.
1991 OUTSIDE DIRECTORS’ FORMULA STOCK OPTION PLAN
(as amended)
     1. The Purpose of the Plan. The purpose of the 1991 Outside Directors
Formula Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) is to promote the interests of Schawk,
Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries by providing an incentive for Outside
Directors (as defined herein) to join and remain on the Board of Directors of
the Company.
     2. Eligibility For Participation. Awards under the Plan shall be made to
each Outside Director of the Company in the form of a nonqualified stock option
to acquire shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. An “Outside Director”
shall be deemed to be any Director who is not an employee of the Company
provided, however, that serving in the capacity as any officer of the Company
shall not constitute an Outside Director as being an employee of the Company
provided that such Director receives no compensation for acting in the capacity
of an officer.
     3. Awards Under The Plan. Commencing with the annual grant to be made in
connection with the election of Directors at the 2008 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders of the Company, each Outside Director shall receive a nonstatutory
stock option to purchase 2,500 Class A Common Stock upon his or her election or
appointment and any subsequent reelection as a Director of the Company. The
exercise price of any option issued hereunder shall be equal to the current
market value of the Class A Common Stock on the date of election or re-election
as a Director. The option shall be exercisable for a term of 10 years from the
date of grant. The option shall not be contingent on continued Board service and
shall remain exercisable following resignation or removal from the Board.
     4. Non-Assignability. No option granted under the Plan shall be assignable
or transferrable, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
     5. Adjustments Upon Changes and Capitalization. The number of shares of
Class A Common Stock with respect to which stock options shall be granted under
the Plan and the option exercise price shall be proportionately adjusted for any
increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Class A Common Stock
resulting from the subdivision or combination of shares of Class A Common Stock
or other capital adjustments, or the payment of a stock dividend after the
effective date of the Plan. Adjustments under this section shall be made by the
Board’s determination as to what adjustments shall be made, and the extent
thereof, and shall be final binding and conclusive.
     6. Death. If an Outside Director dies, the option may be exercised by the
executor, administrator, or personal representative of the deceased Outside
Director through a period to be determined by the Board of Directors of the
Company, but not to exceed the date on which the option expires or six months
after the death of such Outside Director, whichever is earlier.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

     7. Effective Date and Term of Plan. The effective date of the Plan is
May 16, 2001. The Plan shall terminate 10 years after such date, unless earlier
terminated or extended by the Board of Directors, and no award shall thereafter
be made under the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all awards made under the
Plan prior to such date shall remain in effect until such awards shall be
satisfied or terminated in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Plan.
     8. Amendment. The Board of Directors may from time to time amend the Plan
in any respect whatsoever, except that no such amendment shall be made without
the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A
Common Stock of the Company if such amendment would increase the benefits to be
provided under the Plan.
     9. Vesting Schedule. Options granted under the Plan shall vest in one-third
increments on the date of grant and on the first and second anniversaries of the
date of grant.
