On November 9, 2020, Heritage Global Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release (the “Press Release”) announcing, among other matters, the Company’s results of operations for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2020. A copy of the Press Release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.

On November 5, 2020, Morris Perlis resigned as a Class I director of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company, as well as from the Compensation Committee of the Board, effective as of November 6, 2020. Mr. Perlis’s decision to resign was not the result of any disagreement between Mr. Perlis and the Company, its management, the Board or any committee thereof, on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

Also, on November 5, 2020, the Board appointed Kelly Sharpe to serve as an independent Class I director until such time as her successor is duly elected and qualified, effective upon the resignation of Mr. Perlis. Ms. Sharpe’s appointment filled the vacancy on the Board resulting from Mr. Perlis’s resignation, and subsequent to this appointment, the Board consists of seven members. Ms. Sharpe will serve as the chair of the Company’s Audit Committee.

Ms. Sharpe will be compensated in accordance with the Company’s standard compensation policies and practices for its non-employee directors (pro-rated based on start date), which are generally described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. In connection with her appointment, the Company expects to grant Ms. Sharpe an initial equity grant of options to purchase up to 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which will vest in four equal instalments on the anniversary of the grant date, subject to Ms. Sharpe’s continued service on the Board.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Sharpe’s and any other persons, pursuant to which she was selected to serve as a Director on the Company’s Board. Ms. Sharpe’s does not have any familial relationship with any member of the Board or executive officer of the Company, and there are no transactions in which Ms. Sharpe’s has an interest requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

On November 9, 2020, the Company issued the Press Release, announcing, among other matters, its results of operations for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2020, the text of which is set forth as Exhibit 99.1.
