On
February 7, 2011, the board of directors of Electro Rent Corporation appointed
Theodore E. Guth to serve as a member of Electro Rent’s board of
directors. Mr. Guth’s appointment filled a vacancy on the
board.
Mr. Guth,
56, is the Executive Vice President of Douglas Emmet, Inc. (NYSE:DEI), having
joined the publicly traded real estate investment trust earlier this
year. He previously was a partner at the law firm Manatt, Phelps
& Phillips, LLP, where he served as Electro Rent’s outside legal
counsel. Prior to that, Mr. Guth was a partner and held various
management positions at the law firms of Irell & Manella LLP and Guth |
Christopher LLP. During his career, Mr. Guth also served as president
of investment bank Dabney/Resnick, Inc., and was a full-time professor at the
UCLA School of Law.
Mr. Guth
has been appointed to serve as a director until Electro Rent’s 2011 annual
meeting of shareholders or until his earlier resignation or
removal. Mr. Guth was appointed upon the recommendation of the
nominating and corporate governance committee of Electro Rent’s board of
directors, which considered the board’s current composition and Electro Rent’s
operating requirements. There was no arrangement or understanding
between Mr. Guth and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Guth was selected as
a director. Mr. Guth was not appointed to any of Electro Rent’s board
committees.
