(b), (c) and (d) On October 31, 2012, Ryan S. Schram was elected to our Board of Directors and appointed to a newly created position as our Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Schram has been our Chief Marketing Officer since September 2011, leading our client development, account management, brand marketing, public relations and publisher alliance organizations. Prior to joining our company, from 2005 to 2011, Mr. Schram served in various leadership roles, most recently as Group Vice President, at ePrize, the industry leader in integrated engagement marketing. Prior to that, Mr. Schram held roles of increasing responsibility at CBS/Westwood One and Clear Channel Interactive. Mr. Schram holds a B.A. degree in management from the Eli Broad College of Business at Michigan State University.
Mr. Schram has not engaged in a related party transaction with us during the last two fiscal years other than those disclosed in our public filings and there are no family relationships between Mr. Schram and any of our other executive officers or directors.
In order to create a vacancy for the appointment of Ryan S. Schram to the Board of Directors, Donna Mackenzie resigned her position as a director on our Board on October 31, 2012. The resignation did not result from any disagreements with us concerning any matter relating to the company's operations, policies or practices. Ms. Mackenzie still maintains her positions as our Chief Financial Officer, Corporate Treasurer and Secretary.
A press release issued by us on November 1, 2012 announcing Mr. Schram's appointment to and Ms. Mackenzie's resignation from our Board of Directors is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
