Item 5.02

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

 

On February 28, 2019, based upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an increase in the size of the Company’s Board of Directors to nine directors and appointed Emma S. Battle to fill the newly created vacancy to serve as a Class I director until the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Upon her appointment to the Board of Directors, and upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee, the Board of Directors appointed Ms. Battle to serve on the Audit Committee and the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors.

 

Ms. Battle is currently the President and Chief Executive Officer of MarketVigor, LLC, a strategic consulting, e-commerce marketing and digital analytics firm. She also serves as the President and Chief Executive Officer of Higher Education Works, a non-profit organization that advocates for support of North Carolina public universities and community colleges. Ms. Battle previously served as the President and Chief Operating Officer of CRISP Agency, a digital advertising agency, before which she served in executive and senior marketing and sales roles at Red Hat, Inc.
