Appointment of Director
On February 10, 2021, the boards of directors of IDACORP, Inc. (IDACORP) and Idaho Power Company (Idaho Power) appointed Dr. Mark Peters as a member of the boards of directors, effective immediately, to serve until the next annual meeting of IDACORP shareholders scheduled to be held in May 2021. Dr. Peters will be subject to annual election thereafter. Dr. Peters was also appointed to the audit committee of the boards of directors effective May 1, 2021.
Dr. Peters, age 56, has served as the Executive Vice President for Laboratory Operations of Battelle Memorial Institute since January 2021. From 2015 through December 2020, Dr. Peters served as Director of the U.S. Department of Energy's Idaho National Laboratory (INL) and President of Battelle Energy Alliance, LLC (Battelle). Prior to INL and Battelle, he held multiple leadership positions with the Argonne National Laboratory from 2004 through 2015. Dr. Peters brings an exceptional science and technology background to the boards of directors, with his extensive energy and security expertise.
The IDACORP board of directors has determined that Dr. Peters is independent under the applicable listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. There is no arrangement or understanding between Dr. Peters and any other person pursuant to which he was appointed as a director of IDACORP or Idaho Power.
In connection with his appointment to the boards of directors, on or about March 1, 2021, Dr. Peters will receive a stock grant of approximately $110,000 in value of IDACORP common stock in accordance with the terms of the IDACORP, Inc. Non-Employee Director Stock Compensation Plan, as amended (Director Stock Plan). A copy of the Director Stock Plan has been previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (File No. 1-14456, 1-3198) as Exhibit 10.19 to the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed on February 20, 2020. Other elements of Dr. Peters' compensation for service as a member of the boards of directors will be consistent with those disclosed in IDACORP's Schedule 14A definitive proxy statement, prorated for a partial year of service in 2021.
Also in connection with his appointment to the boards of directors, Dr. Peters and IDACORP executed a director indemnification agreement that provides, among other things, that IDACORP will indemnify and hold Dr. Peters harmless for losses and expenses resulting from claims arising out of, or related to, the fact that he is or was a director of IDACORP or its subsidiaries (including Idaho Power). The form of indemnification agreement has been previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (File No. 1-14465, 1-3198) as Exhibit 10(h)(xx) to the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, filed on November 2, 2006.
