On October 22, 2015, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of SunEdison Semiconductor Limited (the “Company”), upon the recommendation of its Nominating and Governance Committee, appointed Randy W. Furr to the Board and to its Audit Committee, effective January 1, 2016, to serve until the next annual meeting of the Company’s shareholders at which directors are elected.
Mr. Furr’s appointment fills the vacancy on the Board created by the resignation of Mr. Brian Wuebbels in April 2015.
As a non-employee director, Mr. Furr will participate in the Company’s non-employee director compensation program and accordingly will receive the following compensation, each prorated based on the effective date of his appointment:

(ii) | $7,500 annual cash retainer as a member of the Audit Committee, and |
(iii) | Restricted stock units granted under the Company’s 2014 Non-Employee Director Incentive Plan in an amount such that the number of underlying ordinary shares has a total value of $150,000 on the date the award is granted (rounded to the nearest 100 ordinary shares), which vest on the first anniversary of the grant date. |
In addition, it is expected that Mr. Furr will enter into the Company’s standard form of indemnification agreement for officers and directors. The form of indemnification agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.7 to the Company’s Amendment No. 5 to Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 15, 2014.
Mr. Furr has no relationships requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K and, except as described above, there are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Furr and any other persons pursuant to which Mr. Furr was appointed as a director of the Company.
On October 26, 2015 the Company issued a press release announcing the above-described appointment. A copy of the press release is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
