Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On December 18, 2020, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Wireless Telecom Group, Inc. (the “Company”) unanimously approved an increase to the total number of directors constituting the Board from seven directors to eight directors. Additionally, the Board appointed Jennifer Fritzsche to fill the vacancy and serve as an independent director for a term ending at the 2021 annual meeting of shareholders. The Company’s press release announcing this appointment was issued on December 21, 2020, and a copy of that press release is filed as an exhibit to this Form 8-K. Ms. Fritzsche has not currently been appointed to any committee of the Board.

 

Ms. Fritzsche currently serves as the Chief Financial Officer and a director of Canopy Spectrum, LLC. Prior to Canopy Spectrum, she spent 25 years as an Institutional Investor ranked equity research analyst at Wells Fargo Securities covering Telecommunications / Cable Services and Communications Infrastructure. Ms. Fritzsche currently serves as a Senior Fellow at Georgetown University McDonough School of Business and was recently appointed as a director at Dycom Industries, Inc. (NYSE: DY). She is the co-founder of the Wells Fargo Windy City Women’s Networking Group, a member of the Chicago Economics Club, and is on the Women’s Auxiliary Board of Misericordia Heart of Mercy. Ms. Fritzsche has a Bachelor of Arts from the College of the Holy Cross and Master of Business Administration, with honors, from Northeastern University.

 

There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Fritzsche and any other person pursuant to which Ms. Fritzsche was appointed as a director. The Company is not aware of any transactions involving Ms. Fritzsche that are reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. The Board has affirmatively determined that Ms. Fritzsche qualifies as an “independent director” under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange and the Company’s independence standards. Ms. Fritzsche will receive the same cash and equity compensation as other non-employee directors of the Company, prorated for the portion of the year served, as described under “Director Compensation” on page 23 of the Company’s Proxy Statement for its Annual Meeting held on June 4, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 17, 2020.
