Effective as of September 19, 2011 (the “Start Date”), our Board of Directors appointed Rachel L. Dillard as our Chief Financial Officer. Ms. Dillard will be receiving annual compensation of $112,000 during the first year of employment (subject to adjustments thereafter) and will be entitled to participate in any and all benefit plans, from time to time, in effect for our employees, along with vacation, sick and holiday pay in accordance with policies established and in effect from time to time. In addition, our Board of Directors authorized the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of restricted common stock pursuant to our 2009 Equity Incentive Plan, which will vest as follows: 100,000 shares during the first three-month period of employment from the Start Date; 200,000 shares during the second six-month period from the Start Date; 200,000 during the 12-month period from the Start Date; 200,000 shares during the 18-month period from the Start Date; and 300,000 shares during the 24-month period from the Start Date. In the event our company merges, sells all its assets or otherwise undergoes a change in control, all of the unvested shares will become vested.
Ms. Dillard began her career in the oil and gas industry in 1996 with CDX Gas. In an association that concluded at the end of 2006, she served CDX both as a consultant to the CEO and CFO and as an employee in matters of financial analysis, natural gas marketing and balancing, investor relations and payout analysis. Ms. Dillard also held the position of Director-Financial Services in which she developed models for the budgeting of capital expenditures and general and administrative expense and formalized/centralized the process of fixed asset management for CDX and its subsidiaries. In addition, she implemented the automated calculation and recording of depletion, depreciation and amortization (DD&A) of oil and gas properties and depreciation of fixed assets including pipelines, gathering systems, drilling rigs and components, two aircraft and multiple vehicles.
During that period, Ms. Dillard also served as an Accountant for Rising Star Energy, LLC, Republic Energy, Inc., and Longview Production Company. Since the beginning of 2007, Ms. Dillard has been employed by or otherwise provided accounting services to TransAtlantic Petroleum Corporation, Westside Energy Corporation, Crusader Energy Group, Inc. and Luminant, the power generating subsidiary of Energy Future Holdings (formerly TXU Corp.).
In 2009, Ms. Dillard joined the Division of Resolutions and Receiverships of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as a contract accountant. In March 2010, she was engaged by the FDIC as Financial Institution Accountant and, in January 2011, as Accounting Technical Monitor of a national servicer of loan portfolios exceeding $1 billion.
