Section 8 – Other Events

Item 8.01.  Other Events.

On June 22, 2010, LMI Aerospace, Inc. (the “Company”) held its 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Shareholders’ Meeting”). At the meeting, the shareholders reelected two Class III directors, Ronald S. Saks and Joseph Burstein, to serve until 2013, and until their successors are duly elected and qualified.

Under the Company’s 2005 Long Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), on each date of the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders, each “Non-Employee Director” (as defined in the Plan) receives an automatic award of shares of restricted stock as part of his or her director’s fees.  The Company’s directors are paid an annual fee, which is set from time to time by the Board of Directors and currently consists of (i) cash in the amount of $32,000 (payable in equal quarterly installments) and (ii) that number of shares of restricted stock having a fair market value as of the award date of $48,000. Accordingly, each Non-Employee Director, namely, Joseph Burstein, John S. Eulich, Sanford S. Neuman, Judith W. Northup, John M. Roeder and Thomas G. Unger were each awarded 2,700 shares of restricted stock pursuant to the Plan coincident with the Shareholders’ Meeting. The restrictions on the shares of restricted stock awarded to the Non-Employee Directors vest (i.e., the forfeiture provisions lapse) on the third anniversary of the award date.
