Item 5.02. | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. |
On January 19, 2017, each of Mark J. OBrien, James L. Pappas and Shannon E. Smith resigned as a member of the Board of Directors (the Board) of Walter Investment Management Corp., a Maryland corporation (the Company), effective the same day. Also on such date, the Board elected Anthony N. Renzi, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and President, Michael M. Bhaskaran, Chief Supply Chain Officer of Staples, Inc., and Neal P. Goldman, the Managing Member of SAGE Capital Investments, LLC, to serve as members of the Board.
Mr. Renzis term as a director expires at the Companys 2017 annual meeting of stockholders (the 2017 Annual Meeting), and Messrs. Bhaskarans and Goldmans terms as directors expire at the Companys 2018 annual meeting of stockholders.
Mr. Bhaskaran was appointed as a member of the Audit Committee and Compliance Committee of the Board, and Mr. Goldman was appointed as the Chair of the Compensation and Human Resources Committee and as a member of the Audit Committee, Compliance Committee and Finance Committee of the Board.
The decision by each of Messrs. OBrien and Smith and Dr. Pappas to resign as a director of the Board was not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Companys operations, policies or practices.
There are no arrangements or understandings between any of Messrs. Renzi, Bhaskaran or Goldman and any other persons pursuant to which such person was appointed a director. None of Messrs. Renzi, Bhaskaran or Goldman has a direct or indirect material interest in any transaction that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
In accordance with the Companys previously-approved compensation for non-employee directors, each of Messrs. Bhaskaran and Goldman will receive a pro rata portion of the annual cash retainer for service on the Board (currently $75,000) and as a member of the Audit Committee (currently $15,000) and Compliance Committee (currently $10,000), in each case based on the period remaining in the current director compensation year. Mr. Goldman will also receive a pro rata portion of the annual cash retainer for service as a member of the Compensation and Human Resources Committee (currently $10,000) and Chairperson thereof (currently, $20,000), in each case based on the period remaining in the current director compensation year. Messrs. Bhaskaran and Goldman will also receive 10,726 immediately vesting restricted stock units, which represents a pro rata portion of the annual stock award for service on the Board previously awarded to non-employee directors for service during the current director compensation year. Messrs. Bhaskaran and Goldman will receive the same insurance, indemnification and expense reimbursement arrangements as apply to other non-employee directors of the Company. Mr. Renzi will not receive additional compensation for his service as a director of the Board.
