Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
The Company announced today that on October 25, 2018, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of TrueCar, Inc. (the “Company”) elected Philip McKoy, age 45, to the Board, filling a vacancy caused by the resignation of Steven Dietz. Mr. Dietz resigned from the Board and his role as a member of the compensation and workforce committee of the Board on October 25, 2018. Mr. Dietz’s resignation was not due to any disagreement with the Company. Mr. McKoy will serve on the Board’s nominating and corporate governance committee (the “Nominating Committee”).
Mr. McKoy will be entitled to the same compensation as the other non-employee directors who are not affiliated with a venture capital investor in the Company under the Company’s outside director compensation policy (the “Policy”). The Policy is described in the Company’s most recent Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 4, 2018 (the “Proxy Statement”). Following the filing of the Proxy Statement, the Company amended the Policy to provide for members of the Nominating Committee to receive an annual cash retainer of $5,000 and for the chair of the Nominating Committee to receive an annual cash retainer of $10,000.
Pursuant to the Policy, on October 25, 2018, Mr. McKoy received a one-time initial equity grant comprised of a stock option award and a restricted stock unit award, each with a grant date fair value of $150,000. In addition, each non-employee director who has served on the Board for at least six months as of the date of each annual meeting of stockholders receives an annual equity grant. The annual equity grant to directors consists of a stock option award and a restricted stock unit award, each with a grant date fair value of $75,000. Mr. McKoy will also be entitled to an annual retainer of $60,000. There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. McKoy and any other persons pursuant to which he was selected as a director and he does not have a direct or indirect material interest in any transaction or proposed transaction that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
