Appointment of John Onopchenko to the Board
On June 14, 2018, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Endologix, Inc. (the “Company”) unanimously appointed John Onopchenko as a Class II director to serve on the Board for a three-year term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2021, and until his successor is duly elected and qualified. Following Mr. Onopchenko’s appointment, Class II will consist of two directors with no vacancies.
Mr. Onopchenko, age 60, was appointed to serve as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer in May 2018. He first joined the Company in October 2017 as its Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Onopchenko has 30 years of executive leadership experience in the medical device industry. Prior to joining the Company, he served as Executive Vice President for Acutus Medical, Inc., a privately-held medical device company, from September 2016 to October 2017, where he was responsible for program management/product development, quality, marketing and sales. Prior to joining Acutus Medical, Mr. Onopchenko served as Senior Vice President and Head of Therapy Strategy for Koninklijke Philips Electronics NV (“Philips”), a publicly-traded technology company from March 2015 to September 2016. Prior to joining Philips, he served as Executive Vice President, from April 2013 to November 2014, and Chief Operating Officer, from November 2014 to March 2015, of Volcano Corporation, a publicly-traded medical device company, where he was responsible for its peripheral and Axsun business units, regulatory affairs, quality assurance, program management, product development, clinical affairs, and business development. Prior to his employment with Volcano, he served on Volcano’s board of directors for 11 years. Mr. Onopchenko held senior positions at Johnson & Johnson, a publicly-held medical device company, including serving as lead of medical device investments with Johnson & Johnson Development Corporation, and as Vice President of Worldwide Operations and Marketing for Advanced Sterilization Products, a Johnson & Johnson company, from 1996 to 2006. He also served as founder and managing director of Synergy Life Sciences Partners, LLC, an early-stage medical device venture capital fund. Mr. Onopchenko holds an M.B.A. from the University of Chicago, Graduate School of Business and a B.S. from Ursinus College. As reflected in the biographical information summarized above, Mr. Onopchenko is qualified to serve on the Board due to his extensive and diverse experience in the medical device industry, including 30 years serving in executive leadership roles, most recently as our Chief Operating Officer and now as our Chief Executive Officer.
There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Onopchenko and any other person pursuant to which he was appointed to the Board. There are no family relationships between Mr. Onopchenko and any director, executive officer or person nominated or chosen by the Company to become a director or executive officer. Except for his employment relationship with the Company and the compensation arrangements arising in connection therewith, there are no relationships involving Mr. Onopchenko that are required to be reported pursuant to the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Mr. Onopchenko has entered into the Company’s standard indemnification agreement in the form previously filed with the SEC providing for indemnification and advancement of expenses to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. In accordance with the Company’s standard compensation policies applicable to employee-directors, Mr. Onopchenko will not receive any additional compensation for serving as a director.
