Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
Effective April 10, 2024, Ransom A. Langford resigned as a director of Superior Industries International, Inc. (the “Company”). Mr. Langford’s resignation from the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) did not result from any disagreement with the Company on any matter, including relating to its operations, policies or practices. In connection with Mr. Langford’s resignation, the Board reduced the number of directors from eight to seven, effective April 10, 2024.
As noted in the Company’s definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”), Mr. Langford was appointed and was being nominated to the Board pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement (the “IRA”), dated as of May 22, 2017, by and between the Company and TPG Growth III Sidewall, L.P. (together with its affiliated entities, “TPG”). TPG continues to beneficially own 150,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company, as disclosed in the Proxy Statement, and, pursuant to the terms of the IRA, the Company expects TPG to nominate in the future another person to serve on the Board. Upon such nomination, as required by the IRA, the Board expects to increase the number of directors pursuant to the Company’s bylaws accordingly.
Mr. Langford had been included as a nominee of the Board in the Company’s Proxy Statement and proxy card for the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders to be held on May 22, 2024 (the “2024 Annual Meeting”). In light of his resignation from the Board, Mr. Langford is no longer standing for re-election to the Board at the 2024 Annual Meeting, and the Company’s proxy materials are hereby deemed amended to remove Mr. Langford as a nominee for the 2024 Annual Meeting. The Company’s slate of nominees otherwise remains unchanged. Previously voted proxies remain valid, other than with respect to Mr. Langford, and the Company’s stockholders eligible to vote at the 2024 Annual Meeting may continue to use their proxy cards to vote as to the Board’s remaining director nominees and the other matters being voted on at the 2024 Annual Meeting.
