(d) Effective as of May 3, 2021 (the “Effective Date”), the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of LiveXLive Media, Inc. (the “Company”) elected Kristopher Wright as a director of the Company. The Board determined that Mr. Wright is an “independent” director pursuant to the definition of independence under Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. The Board may appoint Mr. Wright to one or more committees of the Board at a future date.

 

Mr. Wright is a senior leader in the Consumer Products Industry with more than 20 years of innovative, growth oriented, results-driven leadership experience. Mr. Wright has spent the past 10 years at Nike and is currently Vice President of Nike Global Men’s Footwear Lifestyle Product. Prior to joining Nike, Mr. Wright held senior management roles at Converse, Jordan, and Reebok. In October 2020, Mr. Wright was recognized by Business Insider as one of 28 Outstanding People of Color in the Sneaker Industry. Prior to joining Nike, Mr. Wright founded the luxury lifestyle footwear brand Jhung Yuro, where as CEO, he led the company’s Far East factory/supplier sourcing and negotiations, developed marketing initiatives, established distribution and merchandising strategies for a wide variety of retail partners. In 2008 Headgear purchased a 50% stake in Jhung Yuro to launch a joint venture partnership which provided infrastructure and resources to grow the brand. Additionally, Mr. Wright is an appointed member of the Executive Leadership Council, a national organization of Black CEOs and senior executives in Fortune 1000 and Global 500 companies. Mr. Wright also serves on the Advisory Board of Directors for the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC). Mr. Wright earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in marketing and business administration from Clark Atlanta University.

 

In consideration of Mr. Wright joining the Board, the Company approved the grant to him of approximately 12,000 restricted stock units of the Company (the “RSUs”), which shall vest on October 31, 2021, subject to his continued service on the Board through such vesting date. The RSUs will be issued under the Company’s 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the “Plan”). Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock or the cash value thereof. The Board, in its sole discretion, will determine in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan the form of payout of the RSUs (cash and/or stock). Mr. Wright shall also be entitled to participate in the annual compensation package the Company provides to its non-employee directors.

 

There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Wright and any other persons pursuant to which Mr. Wright was elected as a director of the Company. There are no family relationships between Mr. Wright and any of the Company’s officers or directors. Other than as described herein, there are no other transactions to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party in which Mr. Wright has a material interest subject to disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
