| Item 5.02. | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. |
On June 28, 2012, William V. Russell and Greg B. Petersen were elected to the Board of Directors of KIT digital, Inc. (the “Company”), and Daniel W. Hart and Lars Kroijer resigned as directors of the Company.
Election of Two New Directors
William V. Russell, age 60, currently serves as the non-executive Chairman of the Board of PROS Holdings, Inc., a leader in pricing and revenue management software, and has served as a director of that company since 2008. Mr. Russell served in a number of senior-level executive management roles in his 23 years at Hewlett-Packard (from 1980 to 2003), including vice president and general manager of the multi billion-dollar Enterprise Systems Group and its Software Solutions Group. Mr. Russell has served on the board of directors of SABA Software, Inc., a provider of people-centric enterprise solutions, since January 2010, and is a member of the audit and compensation committees of Saba Software’s board. He has served in a variety of roles on both public and private technology company boards and previously served on the boards of webMethods and Cognos. Mr. Russell holds a B.Sc. degree in Computer Science from Edinburgh University and has completed several executive development programs from institutions including Harvard Business School and INSEAD. As a result of his leadership role in Hewlett-Packard’s substantial software business, Mr. Russell has broad knowledge of large-scale software operations, including sales, marketing, development, finance, strategic planning and leadership. In addition, Mr. Russell’s current and past service on the boards of other public and private companies also exposed him to practices and approaches that may be beneficial to the Company.
Greg B. Petersen, age 49, is currently a private investor and since 2007 has served as a director and on the audit committee of PROS Holdings, Inc. Mr. Petersen has an extensive background as a technology company chief financial officer, and significant M&A experience. He has been the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of several technology companies including Activant Solutions, an enterprise software provider to the automotive, hardware, lumber and wholesale verticals, and Lombardi Software, a business process management software company recently sold to IBM. Mr. Petersen started his career after business school at American Airlines where he worked in corporate development and finance from 1989 to 1997. Mr. Petersen holds a B.A. degree in Economics from Boston College and an M.B.A. from the Fuqua School of Business at Duke University.
Mr. Russell has been appointed non-executive Chairman of the Board of the Company. Mr. Petersen will become the Chairman of the Board’s Audit Committee and will join Wayne Walker on the Board’s Strategic Transactions Committee.
Neither Mr. Russell nor Mr. Petersen has engaged in a related party transaction with the Company, and there are no family relationships between such individuals and any of the Company’s executive officers or directors.
In connection with their election to the Board of Directors, Messrs. Russell and Petersen each received an annual equity grant of 28,640 restricted shares of common stock of the Company, with vesting in four equal quarterly installments commencing on the date of grant, and a sign-on grant of 21,480 fully-vested restricted shares of common stock of the Company.
Resignation of Two Current Directors
On June 28, 2012, Daniel W. Hart and Lars Kroijer, members of the Company’s Board of Directors since 2008, resigned as directors. The resignations did not result from any disagreement with the Company concerning any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.
Following the election of two new directors and the resignation of two current directors, there remain five members on the Company’s Board of Directors.
