Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(e)    On October 26, 2016, at the 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "Annual Meeting") of Parker-Hannifin Corporation (the "Company"), the Company's shareholders, upon the recommendation of the Company's Board of Directors, approved the Parker-Hannifin Corporation 2016 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (the "2016 Plan"). The Board of Directors approved and adopted the 2016 Plan on August 18, 2016, subject to shareholder approval.

The 2016 Plan replaces the Amended and Restated Parker-Hannifin Corporation 2009 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (the "2009 Plan"). The 2009 Plan will be terminated and is not available for future awards. The 2016 Plan will be administered by the Company's Human Resources and Compensation Committee and provides for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, unrestricted stock awards and restricted stock units to certain of the Company's employees, which includes the named executive officers, and directors. The maximum number of shares of the Company's common stock that may be issued pursuant to awards under the 2016 Plan is 16,000,000 shares, subject to adjustment as provided in the 2016 Plan. Common stock issued under the 2016 Plan may include authorized but unissued shares, treasury shares, or a combination of both. The 2016 Plan imposes sub-limits on the number of shares of the Company's common stock that may be issued under the 2016 Plan. In order to comply with the exemption from Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code relating to performance-based compensation, the 2016 Plan provides that no participant may be granted stock options or stock appreciation rights for more than 1,000,000 shares in any three-year period. In addition, no participant may be granted restricted stock awards, unrestricted stock awards or restricted stock units for more than 1,000,000 shares in any three-year period. Further, to the extent that any restricted stock award, unrestricted stock award or restricted stock unit is intended to qualify for the performance-based compensation exemption from Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, that award would be granted subject to the terms of the Parker-Hannifin Corporation 2015 Performance Bonus Plan, or a successor plan. The 2016 Plan will terminate ten years from October 26, 2016 or on such earlier date as the Human Resources and Compensation Committee may determine. The foregoing summary of the 2016 Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2016 Plan, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
