(b) On November 29, 2012, Chuck Geiger resigned his position as a director of Rainmaker Systems, Inc. ("the "Company"). Mr. Geiger has served as a director of the Company since June 2011. His resignation is due to his increasing responsibilities as Chief Technology Officer at Chegg and is not the result of any dispute or disagreement relating to the Company's operations, policies or practices.
Effective November 29, 2012, the Company appointed C. Finnegan Faldi as a Class I director with a term ending upon the 2013 annual meeting of stockholders, to replace Mr. Geiger. Mr. Faldi has also been appointed to the Company's Audit Committee and its Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. Mr. Faldi brings nearly 20 years of senior management experience in both start-ups and public technology companies. Mr. Faldi most recently served as Chief Operating Officer at Datalogix, a database marketing and digital media company, from October 2011 to October 2012. From December 2007 to October 2011, he served as a Vice President over a number of Yahoo’s businesses including Global Broadband, Search Affiliate, NA Mobile and Strategic Partnerships & Operations. Prior to that, he held various senior operational and business development positions including managing the sales, marketing, product and business development teams for both the eCommerce and Direct Merchant business at Solidus Networks from August 2004 to November 2007. Mr. Faldi received a BS degree in Economics, with a concentration in Strategic and Entrepreneurial Management, from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. He earned his MBA degree from the Graziadio School at Pepperdine University.
Mr. Faldi’s candidacy to continue as a Board member upon expiration of his term in 2013 will be subject to the approval of stockholders at the Company’s annual stockholder meeting in 2013. Mr. Faldi received a grant of 50,000 restricted shares which shall vest in four annual installments upon complement of each year of service. Also, in accordance with the Company’s 2003 Stock Incentive Plan, Mr. Faldi received an automatic grant of 20,000 stock options on the date of his appointment, with an exercise price equal to the closing market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. Additionally, Mr. Faldi is eligible to receive monthly board fees of $4,167 for each month of service as a director and is also eligible to receive future stock compensation for his service in accordance with the Company’s 2003 Stock Incentive Plan. The Board has currently suspended cash compensation to the Board to be re-evaluated on a quarterly basis.
