Gentle to the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”), effective December 16, 2020. Pursuant to a Board resolution, the Board has fixed the number of directors at twelve. At the time of this filing, the Board has not made a final determination regarding the committees of the Board to which Ms. Gentle will be appointed.
Ms. Gentle will enter into a customary indemnification agreement with the Corporation in connection with her appointment as a director, consistent with those entered into with the Corporation’s other directors. Ms. Gentle will receive compensation for her services on the Board in accordance with the Corporation’s non-employee director compensation practices as described in the Corporation’s 2020 Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 19, 2020. There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Gentle and any other person pursuant to which Ms. Gentle was selected as a director. There are no transactions involving Ms. Gentle that require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
In its November 19, 2020 news release, the Corporation also announced that Fred J. Fowler has notified the Corporation that he will not stand for re-election as a director of the Corporation at the Corporation’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Mr. Fowler’s decision not to stand for re-election was not based on any disagreement with the Corporation on any matter relating to the Corporation’s operations, policies or practices.
