Election of New Directors
On July 31, 2015, the board of directors of School Specialty, Inc. (the “Company”) elected Gus D. Halas and Andrew E. Schultz to serve as directors of the Company. Neither Mr. Halas nor Mr. Schultz has been appointed to any committees of the Company’s board of directors, however, the Company anticipates that it will consider the formation of standing committees and that in the event such committees are formed they will be appointed to one or more committees in the future.
As non-employee directors of the Company, Mr. Halas and Mr. Schultz will participate in the same compensation arrangement as the other non-employee directors of the Company, as may be amended from time to time.
There were no arrangements or understandings between either Mr. Halas or Mr. Schultz and any other person pursuant to which they were selected as directors. Neither Mr. Halas nor Mr. Schultz has any direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
On August 5th the Company issued a press release announcing the election of directors, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and incorporated herein by reference.
