Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
     On December 8, 2006, the Board of Directors of Lennox International Inc. (the “Company”), upon recommendation of the Company’s Compensation and Human Resources Committee, approved salaries and established target short-term incentive percentages for the Company’s named executive officers (which officers were determined by reference to the Company’s Proxy Statement, dated March 24, 2006) and approved the annual cash and stock compensation for the Company’s non-employee directors for the 2007 fiscal year. The Board, upon recommendation of the Company’s Compensation and Human Resources Committee, also granted, under the Company’s 1998 Incentive Plan, (i) performance share awards, restricted stock awards and stock appreciation rights awards to the Company’s named executive officers; and (ii) restricted stock awards and stock appreciation rights awards to the Company’s non-employee directors.
     The target short-term incentive percentages for the Company’s named executive officers (the “Target STI Percentages”) and compensation for the non-employee members of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Non-Employee Director Compensation”) for the 2007 fiscal year are substantially similar to the Target STI Percentages and Non-Employee Director Compensation established for fiscal 2006, except for the additional compensation of $50,000 to be paid to the Chairman of the Board for attendance, in person or by telephone, at all Board committee meetings. Additional information regarding Target STI Percentages and Non-Employee Director Compensation for the 2007 fiscal year is set forth in Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this current report and is incorporated herein by reference. Forms of the performance share award agreements, employee restricted stock grant agreements and employee stock appreciation rights agreements are filed as Exhibits 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5, respectively, to this current report and forms of the non-employee director restricted stock grant agreements and non-employee director stock appreciation rights agreements are filed as Exhibits 10.6 and 10.7, respectively, each of which are incorporated herein by reference.

Exhibit 10.1
Summary of Fiscal 2007 Target Short-Term Incentive Percentages for the
Named Executive Officers of Lennox International Inc.
     On December 8, 2006, the Board of Directors of Lennox International Inc. (the “Company”), upon recommendation of the Company’s Compensation Committee, established target short-term incentive percentages for each of Robert E. Schjerven, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Harry J. Ashenhurst, Ph.D., the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer, Scott J. Boxer, the Company’s Executive Vice President and President and Chief Operating Officer of Service Experts Inc. and Susan K. Carter, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, ranging from 70% to 110% of the named executive officer’s annual base salary based on performance metrics comprised of net income and cash flow. For named executive officers that are also Presidents of a business segment, 50% of such executive officer’s target will be based on his business segment’s results and 50% will be based on aggregate results of the Company. 50% of the target payment may be achieved with the defined threshold performance and up to 150% of the target payment may be achieved with the defined maximum performance. In addition, for performance above the maximum level, each business segment may select, among specified performance metrics, one performance metric to function as a multiplier of 1.0 to 1.5 of the incentive payment as determined by the other metrics, resulting in a potential payment of up to 225% of the target payment.
