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

On June 6, 2016, the board of directors (the “Board”) of ChromaDex Corporation (the “Company”) increased the size of the Board to seven directors from six directors and appointed William Smithburg to the Board. In 1976, he was appointed Executive Vice President – U.S. Grocery Products, the largest division of The Quaker Oats Company.  He was named to board of directors of The Quaker Oats Company in 1978 and in 1979 was named President and Chief Operating Officer.  In 1981, he was named Quaker’s Chief Executive Officer and in 1983 was appointed Chairman of the Board.  He served as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman until his retirement in December 1997.  Mr. Smithburg currently serves on the board of directors of the Barry-Wehmiller Company.  He previously served on the boards of directors of Abbott Laboratories (1992-2011), The Northern Trust Company (1981-2011), Corning Incorporated (1987-2012), and Smurfit-Stone Container Corp (2003-2010).  He also served on the board of directors of the Grocery Manufacturers of America from 1981 to 1997 and as Chairman of the board of directors of the Grocery Manufacturers of America from 1993 to 1995.  Mr. Smithburg received a B.S. degree from DePaul University, Chicago, in 1960 and an M.B.A. from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, in 1962.  The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that Mr. Smithburg’s years of experience in leadership positions at The Quaker Oats Company, his relationships in the food and beverage industry and his significant corporate governance experience through his service on the boards of directors of other companies qualify him to serve on the Board.
