Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Award of Performance Units

On January 2, 2013 the Compensation Committee of Gibraltar Industries, Inc. (the “Company”), made awards of Performance Units under the Company’s 2005 Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) to the Company’s executive officers.

Under the form of award of the Performance Units (the “Award”), a recipient (the “Recipient”) is granted Performance Units that may be converted into cash if the Company achieves certain Performance Goals. The Performance Goals are certain targeted levels of Company return on invested capital (“Company ROIC”) compared to the Company ROIC actually experienced by the Company during the Performance Period (defined below). Consistent with the Plan, the maximum number of Performance Units which the Recipient is eligible to convert into cash pursuant to the Award may increase up to a maximum of 200% of the targeted award or decrease to the extent that the actual Company ROIC exceeds or is less than the targeted Company ROIC.

Under the Award the Company ROIC is evaluated over a performance period beginning January 1, 2013 and ending December 31, 2013 (the “Performance Period”). The targeted Company ROIC applicable to the Award in the Performance Period is determined according to a formula set forth in the Award.

This description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms and conditions of the form of the Award, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
