Item 2.02Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

 

On February 27, 2020, we issued a press release reporting our financial results for our fiscal quarter ended December 28, 2019. A copy of the press release is set forth as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein. On February 27, 2020, we also posted on our website supplemental financial information, including prepared CFO remarks. A copy of the supplemental financial information is set forth as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated by reference herein.

 

The information contained in Item 2.02 of this report and Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

 

Item 7.01Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On February 27, 2020, we announced that our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on our common stock of $0.23 per share to be paid on March 20, 2020 to all shareholders of record as of March 10, 2020. A copy of the press release is set forth as Exhibit 99.3 and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

On February 27, 2020, we also announced plans to divide the responsibilities of Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Chief Corporate Development Officer into two executive officer positions.  Chad Holmes, who has been our CFO since 2014 and has led our corporate development efforts since 2009, will be appointed Executive Vice President and Chief Corporate Development Officer and transition to focus full-time on CRA’s capital allocation and deployment, including a continued emphasis on corporate development activities.  Mr. Holmes will continue to serve as our CFO until a successor is identified and transitioned into that role. A copy of the press release is set forth as Exhibit 99.4 and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

In addition, on February 27, 2020 we announced that effective at our 2020 annual meeting of shareholders scheduled to be held on July 8, 2020, Paul Maleh, our Chief Executive Officer, President and a member of our Board of Directors, will become Chairman of the Board; William Concannon, a member of our Board of Directors, will become independent Lead Director, subject to his reelection at the 2020 annual meeting.  These changes are being made in connection with the pending retirement of our current Board Chairman Rowland Moriarty.  In accordance with our Director retirement policy, Dr. Moriarty will not stand for reelection when his term as a Class I director expires at CRA’s 2020 annual meeting of shareholders. A copy of the press release is set forth as Exhibit 99.5 and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

The information contained in Item 7.01 of this report and Exhibits 99.3, 99.4 and 99.5 attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
