Item 5.02 Departure of Directors of Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.

 

On October 21, 2005, the Tut Systems, Inc. (“Tut Systems”) board of directors (the Board of Directors) unanimously elected Steven Levy as a Director of Tut Systems. George Middlemas, a member of the Board of Directors of Tut Systems gave notice to Tut Systems and the Board of Directors that effective as of October 21, 2005, he would resign from the Board of Directors. Mr. Middlemas has informed Tut Systems that his resignation from the Board of Directors is not a result of any disagreement between Mr. Middlemas and Tut Systems.

 

Mr. Levy, age 49, was elected as a Director of Tut Systems to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Mr. Middlemas in accordance with Tut Systems’ bylaws and certificate of incorporation and upon the recommendation of the Board’s Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. Mr. Levy will serve for the remainder of Mr. Middlemas’ term and stand for election as a Director at the 2006 Annual Meeting. Mr. Levy is currently not a member of any committee of the Board of Directors. Mr. Levy will be compensated in the same manner as Tut Systems’ other independent directors.

 

Mr. Levy brings with him more than 19 years of Wall Street experience. Mr. Levy most recently served as a Managing Director and Global Head of Communications Technology Research at Lehman Brothers. Before joining Lehman Brothers, Mr. Levy was a Director of Telecommunications Research at Salomon Brothers, Managing Director and Head of the Communications Research Team at Oppenheimer & Co. and a senior communications analyst at Hambrecht & Quist.
