Item 5.02         Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

(d)         On March 20, 2014, Mr. Michael D. Capellas was appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors. Mr. Capellas joined the Board as an independent director and has been appointed to the Compensation Committee of the Board. There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Capellas and any other person pursuant to which he was appointed as a director.

 

Pursuant to the Company’s non-management directors’ compensation programs, Mr. Capellas will be entitled to receive: (i) annual cash compensation of $95,000, payable quarterly in arrears, for services rendered as a director and member of the Compensation Committee; (ii) upon his appointment, a pro-rated share of the annual restricted stock unit award received by our non-management directors following the last annual general meeting; and (iii) an annual restricted stock unit award following each annual general meeting of shareholders having an aggregate fair market value of $150,000. The foregoing description of the Company’s non-management directors’ compensation program is qualified by reference to the description included in the definitive proxy statement for the Company’s 2013 Annual General Meeting, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 12, 2013.

 

The Company’s Articles of Association provide that, subject to the Singapore Companies Act, every director shall be entitled to be indemnified by the Company against all costs, charges, losses, expenses and liabilities incurred by him in the execution and discharge of his duties or in relation thereto. Our directors are covered by indemnification agreements with the Company and a wholly-owned subsidiary which provide for indemnification to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. The Company has also obtained a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that will insure directors against the costs of defense, settlements and judgments in connection with proceedings in which our directors are involved by reason of having served as directors or agents of the Company.

 

On March 24, 2014, the Company issued a press release announcing the appointment of Mr. Capellas, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
