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

At its July 26, 2018 regular meeting, our Board of Directors voted to increase its size from eight to ten directors and to appoint Irwin M. Herz, Jr. and E. Douglas McLeod as directors, with terms ending at the next regularly scheduled Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Prior to such vote, Mr. Herz and Mr. McLeod served as advisory directors. The Board determined that Mr. McLeod qualifies as an “independent director” under NASDAQ’s listing standards.

As members of our Board, Mr. Herz and Mr. McLeod will be eligible for our standard compensatory arrangements for directors, which are described under the heading “Director Compensation Table” in our definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 3, 2018 (the “Proxy Statement”). Certain additional information regarding Mr. Herz and Mr. McLeod may be found under the heading “Information Concerning Advisory Directors” in the Proxy Statement. In addition, certain transactions between us and Greer, Herz & Adams, L.L.P., of which Mr. Herz is a partner, are described under the heading “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” in the Proxy Statement. There are no other transactions reportable under Item 5.02 of Form 8-K and Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K with respect to Mr. Herz or Mr. McLeod.
