TABLE OF CONTENTS
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 Companys Compensation and Human Resources Committee, approved salaries and
established target short-term incentive percentages for the Companys named executive officers
(which officers were determined by reference to the Companys Proxy Statement, dated March 24,
2006) and approved the annual cash and stock compensation for the Companys non-employee directors
for the 2007 fiscal year. The Board, upon recommendation of the Companys Compensation and Human
Resources Committee, also granted, under the Companys 1998 Incentive Plan, (i) performance share
awards, restricted stock awards and stock appreciation rights awards to the Companys named
executive officers; and (ii) restricted stock awards and stock appreciation rights awards to the

The target short-term incentive percentages for the Companys named executive officers (the

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
