Item 5.02 | Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. |
On August 2, 2021, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Metromile, Inc. elected John Butler and Sandra Clarke as new members of the Board to serve as Class III and Class II directors, respectively, whose initial terms will end at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in fiscal 2024 and 2023, respectively. It is expected that Mr. Butler will begin his term on the Board effective August 4, 2021, and Ms. Clark will begin her term on the Board effective August 31, 2021.
Mr. Butler is a 25-year insurance industry veteran with deep global experience. He is currently a managing director of Cohen & Company and head of Cohen’s U.S. Insurance Asset Management Platform. Ms. Clarke is currently CFO and SVP of Blue Shield of California. She has more than 25 years of experience directing world-wide financial organizations in insurance and other highly regulated, critical industries.
Mr. Butler was also elected Chairman of the Board and a member of the Compensation Committee. Metromile founder, David Friedberg, who served as Executive Chairman for more than 10 years, will continue to serve as Chairman of the Board until Mr. Butler assumes this role on August 31, 2021. Once Mr. Butler assumes the role of Chairman of the Board, Mr. Friedberg will continue to serve as a member of the Board and as a member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
In connection with her appointment to the Board, Ms. Clarke was elected Chair of the Audit Committee. Vikas Singhal, current Chair of the Audit Committee, will continue to serve in this role until Ms. Clarke begins her term on the Board. Once Ms. Clarke begins her term, Mr. Singhal will continue to serve on the Board and as a member of the Audit Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Butler and Ms. Clarke and any other persons pursuant to which they were selected as directors of Metromile. There are no current or proposed transactions between Metromile and either Mr. Butler or Ms. Clarke or their immediate family members that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Metromile does not currently have a non-employee director compensation policy, but is in the process of developing one. Once approved, Ms. Clarke and Mr. Butler are expected to be compensated pursuant to that policy.
On July 28, 2021, Betsy Z. Cohen resigned from the Board as a Class III director and any committees thereof, effective immediately. Ms. Cohen’s resignation was not the result of any disagreement with Metromile or the Board.
