On September 15, 2011, the Board of Directors of Premier Alliance Group, Inc. (the “Company”) elected Kevin Carnahan to serve as a director for the Company. Mr. Carnahan is a past senior managing partner at Accenture where he led the systems integration business. During his time at Accenture, Mr. Carnahan also led Client Service Delivery and Quality for Financial Services, including Management Consulting, Technology (Systems Integration and IT Outsourcing) and BPO and prior to that led several financial service teams in Europe
The Board of Directors appointed Mr. Carnahan to its Compensation Committee. The Board has determined that Mr. Carnahan meets the SEC’s qualifications to be an “independent director.”
Currently the independent board members receive compensation in the form of warrants once nominated and appointed to the board, and are compensated for attendance at quarterly board meetings and committee service. There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Carnahan and any other persons pursuant to which Mr. Carnahan was selected as a director, and there are no related party transactions involving Mr. Carnahan that are reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
