Table of Contents

Item 1.01 — Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
     On March 14, 2007, Nashua Corporation (the “Company”) adopted the 2007 Management Incentive Plan (the “MIP”) for specified employees. Participants in the MIP are limited to key managers of the Company, including corporate staff officers, non-officer general managers and key functional directors and managers. Eligible participants are reviewed and approved by the Leadership and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors at the beginning of each fiscal year.
     Participants are entitled to earn an annual bonus under the MIP that is established each fiscal year. The amounts payable under the MIP are determined based on the following factors:
  •   A threshold bonus level is established based on annual financial targets for the Company, which are measured at 80% of the Company’s overall budgeted pre-tax, pre-bonus income. Target performance levels are achieved at budgeted pre-tax, pre-bonus levels;
 
  •   Depending on the participant’s area of responsibility, achievement of targets for sales, net margins (defined as gross margins less distribution cost), and/or targeted levels of selling, general and administrative cost; or
 
  •   Individual goals as agreed to with the Leadership and Compensation Committee for the president and chief executive officer, and as agreed to with the president and chief executive officer for the other senior management executives.
     There are no payments if the minimum threshold of 80% of pre-tax, pre-bonus income is not achieved. The maximum bonus amount for each participant under the MIP is 200% of the participant’s annual salary and would be payable if the Company met a performance target of 130% of the Company’s annual pre-tax budget.
     If target levels of performance are achieved in 2007, the following senior management executives will be eligible to receive bonuses up to the following percentages of base salary:
