          On January 17, 2007, Shoe Carnival, Inc. (the "Company") and Mark L. Lemond, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and President, terminated the split dollar life insurance arrangement that had been entered into in 1999. Under the arrangement, the life insurance policy provides insurance in the amount of $1.0 million payable on the death of the last to survive of Mr. Lemond and his spouse. The proceeds of the policy were to be utilized to reimburse the Company for the premiums it paid on the policy, with the balance payable to the estate of Mr. Lemond or his spouse.

          In connection with the termination, the Company was reimbursed for the $82,890 in premiums that were paid by the Company, the Company released all of its interests in the policy and Mr. Lemond was paid a bonus in the amount of $144,471. The bonus represented the amount utilized to reimburse the Company for the premiums it had paid and the tax liability to be incurred by Mr. Lemond in connection with the bonus. Termination of the split dollar arrangement is expected to save the Company approximately $35,205 per year.
