On May 18, 2010, the stockholders of National Presto Industries, Inc. voted to approve the National Presto Industries, Inc. Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides for the grant of restricted stock awards to employees of National Presto and its subsidiaries. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be delivered under the Plan is 50,000, subject to adjustment as provided in the Plan. National Presto may use only treasury shares in connection with grants under the Plan.  This summary of the Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan, a copy of which is attached as Appendix A to National Presto’s proxy statement for the 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.  The form of agreement for Restricted Stock Awards is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

National Presto held its Annual Meeting of Stockholders on May 18, 2010. At the meeting, stockholders elected the two persons nominated by our Board of Directors to serve as directors for a three-year term ending at the annual meeting to be held in 2013.  In addition, stockholders approved the National Presto Industries, Inc. Incentive Compensation Plan and ratified the appointment of BDO Seidman LLP as National Presto’s independent public accountant for 2010.
