Appointment of New Director
On March 3, 2020, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (the "Company"), appointed Lisa Lesavoy to serve as a director.
The size of the Board was increased to seven members in connection with the appointment, which was immediate. Ms. Lesavoy was appointed to the class of directors whose term of office expires at the fiscal 2020 annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company, and it is anticipated that she will stand for election by the stockholders at that meeting. Ms. Lesavoy was also appointed to serve on the Board’s Executive Compensation Committee and Audit Committee.
Ms. Lesavoy is the owner of Lesavoy Financial Perspectives, Inc., a New York City based financial counseling firm which she founded in September of 1990. Previously, Ms. Lesavoy served as Senior Financial Advisor for E.F. Hutton's, and subsequently Shearson Lehman Brothers', Personal Financial Planning Division, where she was a First Vice President and responsible for the Division’s financial counseling services on the East Coast. Ms. Lesavoy has been a member of the New York State Bar since 1985.
Ms. Lesavoy was not selected as a director pursuant to any arrangement or understanding between her and any other person and there are no related party transactions between the Company and Ms. Lesavoy. She will receive compensation for her service on the Board in accordance with the standard compensatory arrangement described in the Company’s proxy statement filed on November 15, 2019 for non-employee directors, pro-rated for service until the end of the current fiscal year. In connection with her appointment, Ms. Lesavoy and the Company will enter into an Indemnification Agreement in the same form as the Form of Indemnification Agreement which was previously filed as Exhibit Number 10.1 to Company’s Form 8-K filed on March 8, 2007.
