On February 15, 2012 the Boards of Directors of hhgregg, Inc. (“hhgregg”) and Gregg Appliances, Inc. (“Gregg Appliances” and, together with hhgregg, the “Company”) announced the appointment of Douglas T. Moore as Chief Merchandising and Marketing Officer. Reporting to Mr. Moore will be the Company’s merchandising, marketing and digital services departments. Mr. Moore will report directly to Dennis L. May, the Company’s CEO. Mr. Moore has over 20 years of retail experience, including merchandising, store operations, supply chain, sourcing and human resource planning.

Prior to joining hhgregg, Mr. Moore served as Vice President of Operations at Safelite Group. From 2007 to 2010, Mr. Moore served in the roles of Senior Vice President, President-Appliances (2008-2010) and Senior Vice President, Hardlines-Merchandising (2007-2008) at Sears Holding Corporation. Prior to 2007, Mr. Moore served for 17 years as a senior executive for Circuit City Stores, Inc., with his last position as Executive Vice President, Chief Merchandising Officer.

On February 15, 2012, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Moore. The employment agreement provides that Mr. Moore’s base salary and annual cash incentive award shall be determined by mutual agreement between the Company and Mr. Moore and subsequently may be adjusted from time to time by the Company. In addition, Mr. Moore is entitled to participate in the Company’s benefit and welfare plans that are generally available to other employees. Pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement, if Mr. Moore (i) is terminated by the Company without “cause” (as defined in the employment agreement), regardless of whether such termination occurs within 12 months after a change of control (as defined in the employment agreement), or (ii) voluntarily resigns within 12 months of a change of control of the Company following a material diminution in Mr. Moore’s base compensation or authority, duties or responsibilities in effect prior to the change of control, or a material change in the geographic location at which Mr. Moore is assigned to perform his duties from prior to the change of control, then Mr. Moore will receive severance equal to 12 months of his base salary paid ratably over a 12-month period consistent with customary payroll practices. In addition, Mr. Moore shall receive a lump sum stipend equal to 167% of the product of 12 times the monthly COBRA premium that corresponds to the health, dental and vision coverage that he had in effect at the time of termination paid ratably over the same 12-month period.
