Item 5.02. | Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers |
On April 16, 2012, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of First Security Group, Inc. (the “Company”) increased its size to nine directors and elected Mr. Larry D. Mauldin to join the Board. The Board of Directors also elected Mr. Mauldin as Chairman of the Board. Subject to the completion of the regulatory application process and the receipt of all necessary regulatory non-objections, the Company anticipates that Mr. Mauldin will be appointed to serve on the Board of Directors of the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, FSGBank, National Association (“FSGBank”) as Chairman of the Board of FSGBank.
Mr. Mauldin brings to the Company extensive executive and banking experience in the Company's markets. Mr. Mauldin retired from SunTrust Bank, Inc. (“SunTrust") in 2007 after 40 years of service in various positions at SunTrust and its subsidiaries, including 13 years as Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of SunTrust Bank, East Tennessee, N.A. Mr. Mauldin is currently the Chairman of the Board of each of Covenant Health in Knoxville, Tennessee, a nonprofit corporation that is the parent corporation of an eight hospital health care system, and Project GRAD, also in Knoxville, Tennessee, a nonprofit corporation that works closely with the Knox County public school district.
Mr. Mauldin was not selected to serve as a director based on any arrangement or understanding between Mr. Mauldin and any other persons. At this time, the Company has not identified the committees of the Board to which Mr. Mauldin is expected to be named. With the addition of Mr. Mauldin, the Board consists of nine directors, eight of whom are not employed by the Company.
Mr. Mauldin will receive an annual retainer of $10,000 for his services as Chairman of the Board and otherwise will receive compensation for his services as director consistent with that of the Company's other non-employee directors, including retainers, board and committee fees, chairperson fees, and the eligibility to receive stock-based awards and other compensation as may be paid to the Company's directors from time to time. There have been no transactions within the last fiscal year, or any currently proposed transactions, in which the Company or FSGBank was or is to be a participant and in which Mr. Mauldin has or had a direct or indirect material interest.
