Item 5.02
 
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
   
On March 6, 2012, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Minerals Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) received from William C. Stivers written notice of his intent to retire from the Board effective May 16, 2012, the date of the Company’s 2012 Annual Meeting.  In accordance with the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines, in 2010, Mr. Stivers, who reached his 72nd birthday during such year, submitted his resignation to the Board. However, in light of the Board’s determination of the value that Mr. Stivers’s continuing service on the Board provides to the Company, the Board did not accept his resignation at such time and invited him to continue serving as a member.  Mr. Stivers’s decision to now retire is not the result of any disagreement with the Company.
