1. Fiscal Year 2022 Long Term Incentive Plan

On October 6, 2021, the Compensation Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors of LSI Industries Inc. (the "Company") adopted the FY2022 Long Term Incentive Plan (the "LTIP"). The LTIP provides for the issuance of share-based awards to named executive officers and other employees of the Company pursuant to the LSI Industries Inc. Omnibus Award Plan (the "2019 Omnibus Award Plan"). The LTIP advances the Company's commitment to performance-based compensation practices by providing participants an opportunity to earn equity-based awards upon the achievement of certain pre-established long-term performance objectives. Pursuant to the LTIP, on and effective as of the close of business on October 6, 2021, the Committee approved the award of restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance stock units ("PSUs") to the Company's executives and certain other officers and employees based on pre-established performance objectives and goals. The Committee established the bonus targets under the LTIP for the Company's principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and other named executive officers, and made grants, as follows:

Thomas Caneris, EVP Human Resources and General 79% 13,829 20,743 Counsel Michael Beck, SVP Operations

Jeffrey Bastian, VP & Chief Accounting Officer 50% 6,303 9,455

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Generally, the percentage of the award earned at the end of the performance cycle based on the percentage of the RONA performance targets achieved shall be determined according to the following schedule; however, the actual LTIP award payout will be interpolated between the percentages set forth in the chart based on actual results:

<78.5% of Performance Target 0% of Award Target 78.5% of Performance Target 50% of Award Target 100% of Performance Target 100% of Award Target > 107.4% of Performance Target 150% of Award Target

? Payment of Awards. PSU awards shall be made in stock and will be distributed

on a specific date by which the Committee reasonably expects it will be able

to determine whether and the extent to which the performance target applicable

to such award was met. The Company will make the distribution of the PSUs

awards to participants as soon as administratively practicable following the

date of the award determination.

Award Agreements. Awards of RSUs and PSUs are made under the LTIP pursuant to award agreements with each recipient on the terms described in this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Vesting and Forfeiture. Recipients of LTIP awards generally must remain continuously employed full-time by the Company until the date designated for payout under the applicable award agreement for the LTIP period. Exceptions may be provided for termination of employment by reason of death, disability, retirement and change in control. RSUs vest annually in equal installments over three years. The vesting of PSUs is subject to the achievement of RONA and cumulative adjusted EBITDA objectives over a three-year performance cycle.

Change in Control. In the event of a change in control event described in Section 2(e) of the 2019 Omnibus Award Plan ("CIC"), unless the successor company assumes, replaces or substitutes all unvested portions of RSUs with substantially identical terms, RSUs shall vest in full upon the executive's termination of employment within twenty-four (24) months of a CIC when such termination is by the Company without Cause (defined in the 2019 Omnibus Award Plan) or by the executive for Good Reason (defined in the award agreement). Upon a CIC, PSUs will convert at the target performance level into time-based RSUs vesting in equal installments over three years commencing from the date of original grant, irrespective of the Company's actual achievement of performance objectives.

Other Terms & Provisions. Participants are not permitted to transfer LTIP awards, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The Company is entitled to withhold from any payments of awards under the LTIP or the 2019 Omnibus Award Plan any and all amounts required to be withheld for federal, state and local withholding taxes. In addition to the above conditions, payment of any incentive award is contingent upon the participant executing a written restrictive covenant agreement.

2. Fiscal Year 2022 Short Term Incentive Plan

The Committee also approved and adopted on October 6, 2021 the FY2022 Short Term Incentive Plan for named executive officers (the "STIP").

The STIP provides for performance-based annual cash awards to the Company's executive officers, and certain other officers and employees of the Company. The STIP advances the Company's commitment to performance-based compensation practices by providing participants an opportunity to earn annual cash bonuses upon achievement of certain pre-established short-term performance objectives. The STIP performance cycle is for the current fiscal year, beginning on July 1, 2021 and ending on June 30, 2022. The amount of the awards under the STIP are based on Company financial targets for Adjusted EBITDA and Net Sales. Individual participant bonus targets for the Company's executive officers range between 40% and 80% of base salary.

The Committee established the bonus targets under the STIP for the Company's named executive officers as follows:

Performance Criteria. The performance criteria under the STIP are comprised eighty percent (80%) on a Company performance-based component of adjusted EBITDA and twenty percent (20%) based on Net Sales. Company performance will be measured by comparing the Company's Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 to a target Adjusted EBITDA for the entire 2022 fiscal year set by the Committee and by comparing the Company's Net Sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022 to a target Net Sales for the entire 2022 fiscal year set by the Committee.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Award Payouts. Award payout levels are based on the percentage of the performance target achieved. Generally, the percentage of the award earned at the end of the performance cycle based on the Adjusted EBITDA and Net Sales performance targets will be determined according to the following schedules; however, the actual award payout will be interpolated between the percentages set forth in the tables below based on actual results:

Performance Achievement- Net Sales Payout Level < 90% of Performance Target 0% of Award Target 90% of Performance Target

>103.7% of Performance Target 150% of Award Target

Payment of Awards. Payment of STIP awards will be made in cash. Awards will be paid on a specific date by which the Committee reasonably expects that the performance target applicable to such award was met. The Company will make the payment of the STIP awards to participants as soon as administratively practicable following the date of the award determination.

Vesting and Forfeiture. STIP participants must remain continuously employed full-time by the Company until the award payment date in order to be entitled to receive a payout of an STIP award. Exceptions may be provided for termination of employment by reason of death, disability, retirement and change in control.

Other Terms & Provisions. STIP participants are not permitted to transfer STIP awards, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The Company is entitled to withhold from any payments of awards under the STIP any and all amounts required to be withheld for federal, state and local withholding taxes.

The foregoing summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the STIP which shall be filed as an exhibit to a subsequent periodic report.
