ITEM 5.02.
  DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS.
     On May 25, 2007, Industrial Distribution Group, Inc. (the “Company”) effected a contingent grant of 185,000 shares of restricted stock to its President and Chief Executive Officer, Charles A. Lingenfelter, by entering into an award agreement therefor with Mr. Lingenfelter that contains vesting (or forfeiture) provisions that are tied to future operating performance criteria. The grant had been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, upon recommendation of its Compensation Committee, but was subject to acceptance by Mr. Lingenfelter and execution of a mutually acceptable award agreement. The contingent grant was made pursuant to the Company’s 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which permits the Company to award restricted stock pursuant to a form of Restricted Stock Agreement that is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, but may contain special vesting, forfeiture or other provisions that are otherwise consistent with the purposes of the Plan. The grant date of the restricted stock award to Mr. Lingenfelter is May 25, 2007.
     Under the terms of the award, Mr. Lingenfelter will be eligible to vest in the shares awarded on the following schedule: up to 25,000 shares following the Company’s 2008 fiscal year, up to 40,000 shares following the Company’s 2009 fiscal year, up to 55,000 shares following the Company’s 2010 fiscal year and up to 65,000 shares following the Company’s 2011 fiscal year, in each case only to the extent that the Company has achieved prescribed performance benchmarks for such fiscal year with respect to increases in its sales revenue, operating margin and earnings per share. In the event of a change in control or the termination of his employment without cause, Mr. Lingenfelter would vest immediately in one third of any then unvested shares, but the award does not otherwise provide for accelerated vesting in any other circumstance. The award will terminate, and all unvested shares would be forfeited, if Mr. Lingenfelter ceases to be employed by the Company for any other reason, including because of disability or death. Until shares become vested, Mr. Lingenfelter will have no right to vote, or to receive or accrue dividends on, any of the shares.
