On May 19, 2016, at the annual meeting of shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc. (the “Company”), the Company’s shareholders approved the Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc. 2016 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”).  The Plan, under which awards can be granted until May 18, 2026 or the Plan’s earlier termination, provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted awards in the form of restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and deferred stock units, performance awards in the form of performance shares and performance units, phantom stock awards and other stock-based awards or dividend equivalent awards to selected employees, including the Company’s named executive officers, and non-employee directors of the Company and its affiliates. 

The maximum number of shares of common stock that the Company may issue or deliver pursuant to awards granted under the Plan is 2,000,000 shares. Of this number, the maximum number of shares of common stock that the Company may issue pursuant to incentive stock options under the Plan is 2,000,000 shares. In addition to the share limitations described above, the Plan includes limits on the amounts of participant awards. Specifically, no participant may be granted in any 12-month period: (i) stock options and SARs that are not related to an option for more than 500,000 shares of common stock (or the equivalent value of such common stock based on the fair market value per share of the common stock on the date of grant of an award); or (ii) awards other than options or SARs for more than 500,000 shares of common stock (or the equivalent value of such common stock based on the fair market value per share of the common stock on the date of grant of an award). The participant award limitations and the terms of awards are subject to adjustment in the capital structure of the Company or as otherwise provided in the Plan.

              The foregoing summary description of the Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual terms of the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit 10.23.  For additional information regarding the Plan, please refer to “Proposal 3 – Approval of the Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc. 2016 Stock Incentive Plan” on pages 47-58 of the Company’s 2016 definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 19, 2016, which is incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit 10.24.
