Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On March 14, 2014, in connection with the preparations for the 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “2014 Annual Meeting”) of Ambassadors Group, Inc. (the “Company”), Daniel G. Byrne and Timothy M. Walsh, independent members of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), each announced his intention not to stand for reelection as a director at the 2014 Annual Meeting. Neither such director has decided not to stand for reelection at the 2014 Annual Meeting as a result of any disagreement with the Company or its Board of Directors. At the time of their announcements, Messrs. Byrne and Walsh served on the Audit Committee of the Board, and they are both expected to continue to serve as Board and Audit Committee members until the election and qualification of their respective successors at the 2014 Annual Meeting. The Board appreciates the loyal and able service that Messrs. Byrne and Walsh have provided to the Company as directors since May, 2005 and February, 2012, respectively.
A copy of the press release announcing these developments is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
