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

On March 19, 2007, the Compensation and Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors of EnPro Industries, Inc. (the "Company") established the financial metrics and targets for awards under the Company’s Senior Executive Annual Performance Plan and its Management Annual Performance Plan ("the Annual Plans") for fiscal year 2007 and under the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") for the 2007-2009 performance cycle. These metrics are applicable to all of the Company’s corporate staff who participate in the Annual Plan and the LTIP, including the Company’s chief executive officer, chief financial officer and three other most highly compensated executive officers for 2006 (the "named executive officers").

For a cash bonus under the Annual Plans for fiscal 2007, the performance factors and weightings are as follows: Free Cash Flow Before Asbestos and Taxes, 30%; Net Income, 40%; and Sales Growth, 30%. The target bonuses for the named executive officers for 2007 are as follows: Mr. Schaub, $556,750; Mr. Dries, $206,400; Mr. Magee, $172,150; Mr. Smith, $144,100; and Mr. Childress, $118,500. Actual bonus payments under the Annual Plan can range from 0% to 200% of target.

Award opportunities under the LTIP for the three-year performance period 2007 – 2009 include both a cash incentive and a payment of performance shares. The performance factors and weightings for the cash portion are as follows: Return on Capital, 50%; Free Cash Flow Before Asbestos and Taxes, 30%; and Net Cash Flow for Asbestos, 20%. The values of the target cash awards are as follows: Mr. Schaub, $736,875; Mr. Dries, $258,000; Mr. Magee, $203,450; Mr. Smith, $163,750; and Mr. Childress, $71,100. The performance factors and weightings for the performance share awards are as follows: Return on Capital, 60%; and Free Cash Flow Before Asbestos and Taxes, 40%. The values of the performance share awards as of the grant date are as follows: Mr. Schaub, $736,875; Mr. Dries, $258,000; Mr. Magee, $203,450; Mr. Smith, $163,750; and Mr. Childress, $71,100. Cash payments under the LTIP can range from 0% to 200% of target, and performance share payouts can range from 0% to 150% of target.

The Board of Directors has amended and restated the Senior Executive Annual Performance Plan and the LTIP to include a broad range of "qualifying performance measures" for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. These plans have been submitted for shareholder approval at the annual meeting on May 2, 2007. Any portion of these awards attributable to a performance measure not previously approved by the shareholders shall be subject to approval of the plans at the 2007 annual meeting of shareholders.
