Interface, Inc. (the “Company”) files this Registration Statement on Form S-8 in connection with an amendment to the Interface, Inc. Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) that increases the number of shares of Class A or Class B common stock, par value $.10 per share (the “Common Stock”), that may be issued or transferred under the Plan. The number of shares that may be issued or transferred under the Plan has been increased by 2,000,000. The shares of Common Stock previously available for issuance or transfer under the Plan are covered by a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-38675), the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. As amended, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued or transferred under the Plan is 5,600,000 (adjusted to reflect a two-for-one stock split in June 1998), plus the number of shares subject to stock options granted under the Company’s former stock option plans that are forfeited, terminated or otherwise expire unexercised.
