Item 5.02  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On April 12, 2017, Dolores A. Kunda notified the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of The Finish Line, Inc. (the “Company”) of her intent not to stand for reelection as a Class I Director of the Company upon the expiration of her current term, which expires at the Company’s upcoming 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders scheduled for July 13, 2017.  Ms. Kunda has served on the Board since 2008, and her decision not to stand for reelection is not a result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies, or practices.  In connection with the expiration of Ms. Kunda’s current term at the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Board nominated William P. Carmichael to stand for election as a Class I Director at the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.  Mr. Carmichael will resign as a Class II Director at the conclusion of the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, contingent upon his election as a Class I Director at such meeting.  Mr. Carmichael’s decision to resign as a Class II Director is solely to facilitate his election as a Class I Director at the 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and is not a result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies, or practices.

Also on April 12, 2017, Norman H. Gurwitz notified the Board of his decision to resign as a director of the Company effective as of the date of the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.  Mr. Gurwitz is a Class III Director of the Company, and has served on the Board since 2009.  Mr. Gurwitz’s decision to resign is not a result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies, or practices.  Effective upon the conclusion of the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and contingent upon Mr. Carmichael’s election as a Class I Director at such meeting, a vacant directorship will be created by Mr. Carmichael’s resignation as a Class II Director.  The Board will appoint a director to fill the Class II Director vacancy in accordance with the Company’s Bylaws to a term that will expire at the 2018 annual meeting.  In addition, a vacant directorship will be created by Mr. Gurwitz’s resignation as a Class III Director.  The Board also will appoint a director to fill the Class III Director vacancy in accordance with the Company’s Bylaws to a term that will expire at the 2019 annual meeting.
