On June 7, 2013, director William L. Healey resigned from his position as a member of the Board of Directors of Pro-Dex, Inc. (the “Company”). Mr. Healey’s resignation also serves to remove him as a member of the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board. Mr. Healey’s resignation is not due to any disagreements on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. A copy of Mr. Healey’s resignation letter is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
On June 10, 2013, the Board of Directors appointed Harold A. Hurwitz as a member of the Board of Directors to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Healey’s resignation. Mr. Hurwitz has served as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer since October 2010 and as Chief Executive Officer and President since February 2013. In addition, Mr. Hurwitz has served as a member of the Investment Committee since the formation of the committee by the Board of Directors in April 2013. Mr. Hurwitz will continue to serve in all such capacities concurrent with his service on the Board of Directors.
In connection with his appointment as Chief Executive Officer and President in February 2013, the Company and Mr. Hurwitz entered into an at-will employment arrangement (the “February 2013 Employment Arrangement”), the terms of which incorporate the terms of Mr. Hurwitz’s previously existing employment arrangement dated August 23, 2010 (the “August 2010 Employment Arrangement”), except for the base compensation stated therein, and Mr. Hurwitz’s existing Change of Control Agreement dated July 19, 2011. The February 2013 Employment Arrangement, the August 2010 Employment Arrangement and the Change of Control Agreement are described in the Company’s previous filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”), including in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Commission on December 20, 2012. As an officer of the Company, Mr. Hurwitz is not eligible to participate in the Company’s 2013 Director Compensation Plan and will receive no additional compensation for his service on the Company’s Board of Directors.
