Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(e) On May 12, 2010, the shareholders of Fisher Communications, Inc. (the “Company”) approved, among other things, the Fisher Communications, Inc. Amended and Restated 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) at the annual meeting of shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”), which incorporated an amendment to increase the number of shares authorized for issuance thereunder by 300,000 shares, from 300,000 shares to 600,000 shares. Shareholder approval of the Plan also ensures that the Company continues to have the flexibility to grant awards under the Plan that are intended to qualify as “qualified performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The following is a summary of the principal provisions of the Plan. The following summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan, which was filed as Appendix A to the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A for the Annual Meeting filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 7, 2010.

The Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Directors will continue to administer the Plan. Under the terms of the Plan, the Committee has the authority to, among other things, select eligible individuals to whom awards are granted, determine the types of awards to be granted and the number of shares of the Company’s common stock subject to each award, determine the terms, conditions and provisions of such awards, interpret and administer the Plan and any instrument evidencing an award, notice or agreement executed or entered into under the Plan, and make any other determination and take any other action that the Committee deems necessary or desirable for administration of the Plan.

Awards may be granted under the Plan to employees, officers and directors of the Company and its affiliates as selected by the Committee. However, the Committee currently intends to grant awards under the Plan only to key employees and directors. Under the Plan, the Committee may grant incentive and nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, restricted stock, stock units, performance shares, performance units and other stock or cash-based awards. Awards may be granted either alone or in addition to or in tandem with any other type of award.

The Plan originally became effective on April 30, 2008, the date of its original approval by the Company’s shareholders, and it will expire (unless sooner terminated by the Board or the Committee) on April 30, 2018. Generally, the Board or the Committee may amend, suspend or terminate all or any portion of the Plan at any time, but such amendment, suspension or termination may not, without the participant’s consent, materially adversely affect any rights under any outstanding award. The Board’s and Committee’s right to amend the Plan is subject to shareholder approval to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law, stock exchange rules or regulatory requirements
