Item 5.02.     Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On April 9, 2009, the Officer Nomination and Compensation Committee (the “ONC Committee”) of Modine Manufacturing Company’s (“Modine” or the “Company”) Board of Directors determined that none of the 13 members of the Company’s Executive Council would be entitled to any cash bonus amount under the Modine Management Incentive Plan that may be payable for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2009.  The Executive Council is comprised of the Company’s executive officers (including its Named Executive Officers), non-executive officers and other key personnel.  At that same meeting, the ONC Committee approved a retention plan for the current members of the Executive Council.  Under the retention plan, each current member of the Executive Council who is in the employ of the Company on the date of payment would be paid one-third of his/her April 1, 2009 base salary in December 2009, October 2010 and April 2011.  Payments under the above-described retention plan will not, in the aggregate, exceed $3.2 million.  In the event that a member of the Executive Council voluntarily terminates employment with the Company prior to April 2011, such individual will be contractually obligated to return all sums paid by the Company to such individual pursuant to the above-described retention plan.

Thomas A. Burke, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, has declined, with the support of the Board of Directors, to participate in the retention plan described above.
