Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election
of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory
Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On
March 4, 2021, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of
LightPath Technologies, Inc. (the “Company,”
“we,” “us,” or “our”) appointed
Steven Eric Creviston to serve on the Board effective immediately.
Mr. Creviston was appointed to fill a vacancy created by Dr. Steven
Brueck’s recent retirement. Mr. Creviston will serve as a
Class II director. We expect that Mr. Creviston will be nominated
for election by our stockholders with our other Class II directors
at our annual stockholders’ meeting proposed to be held in
fiscal 2022.
The
Board evaluated Mr. Creviston’s independence in accordance
with the independence standards for directors set forth in Rule
5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules (the “Nasdaq
Standards”), and affirmatively determined that Mr. Creviston
qualifies as an independent director. Mr. Creviston has been
appointed to serve on the Compensation and Finance
Committees.
Mr.
Creviston, age 56, received a Master’s degree in Electrical
and Electronics Engineering from the University of Illinois. He has
served as Corporate Vice President and President of Mobile Products
for Qorvo Inc. (“Qorvo”) since January 2015. Prior to
that, he served as the Corporate Vice President and President of
Cellular Products Group for RF Micro Devices, Inc.
(“RFMD”) from August 2007 to January 2015. From May
2002 to August 2007, he served as Corporate Vice President of
Cellular Products Group (previously known as Wireless Products
until 2004), for RFMD. Mr. Creviston’s previous experience in
various leadership roles in Qorvo and RFMD will provide invaluable
knowledge to our Board with respect to assessing our business
strategies, evaluating operating performance, assessing risks, and
evaluating potential merger and acquisition opportunities, all of
which qualify him for service as one of our directors.
There
is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Creviston and any
other person pursuant to which Mr. Creviston was appointed as one
of our directors.
Mr.
Creviston will be compensated for his service on our Board as
generally described for all directors in our Proxy Statement for
our fiscal 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on September 30,
2020.
A press
release announcing Mr. Creviston’s appointment is attached
hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is
incorporated herein by reference.
