Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

 

The Board of Directors of TGC Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) has appointed James Kevin Brata, a Certified Public Accountant, to the position of Vice President effective June 16, 2008.  Mr. Brata, age 53, is the former Assistant Corporate Controller of Sport Supply Group, an institutional direct marketer of sports equipment and supplies.  Prior to his employment at Sport Supply Group, Mr. Brata owned and operated South TX Outfitters, an executive development and event planning firm, from July of 2002 to December of 2006.  Neither Sport Supply Group nor South TX Outfitters has, or at any time in the past has had, an affiliate or other relationship with the Company.  There is no family relationship between Mr. Brata and any of the Company’s directors or executive officers.  There is no employment contract since Mr. Brata has been hired on an “at-will” basis.  Mr. Brata’s gross annual salary will be $125,000.  In addition, the Company’s Stock Awards Committee granted to Mr. Brata a restricted stock award for 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, with annual vesting of one-third of the shares beginning June 16, 2009.  Other than compensation paid in the ordinary course of business, Mr. Brata has no material contract or arrangement with the Company.

 

The Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Kenneth W. Uselton, has notified the Board of Directors of his intention to retire on or about September 30, 2008.  The Company expects that Mr. Brata will fill the vacancy of Chief Financial Officer at that time.
