Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On July 24, 2017, Sarah Johnson was appointed to the Companys Board of Directors.
Ms. Johnson is currently the Global Buying Manager at Columbia Sportswear of Portland, Oregon. Ms. Johnson has significant experience in supply chain management and best practices, including the planning and implementation of improvements to both the manufacturing and supply processes. Prior to being named Global Buying Manager, she was a Business Process Analyst and Senior Global Buyer at Columbia which included working with International vendors, principally in Asia and Canada. Ms. Johnson is a graduate of Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington.
Due to the present limitation of a fixed number of Directors approved at the Companys most recent Annual Meeting of shareholders, Adrian Russell-Falla has agreed to resign from the Companys Board of Directors to accommodate the appointment of Sarah Johnson. Mr. Russell-Falla will transition into an advisory position with the Company until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders. At that time management will ask shareholders to authorize additional directors which will permit Mr. Russell-Falla to rejoin the Companys Board of Directors.
Ms. Johnson qualifies as an Independent Director, and has been appointed to the Companys Compensation Committee. With her appointment and Mr. Russell-Fallas resignation, the Compensation Committee will continue to consist of three independent Directors and the Board Chair. The Audit Committee will consist of two independent Directors. The Company will appoint a third independent Director to the Audit Committee at the next Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.
