(d) Election of New Director
On February 20, 2014, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of AptarGroup, Inc. (the “Company”) elected Andreas Kramvis to the Company’s Board, effective March 1, 2014, increasing the number of members on the Board from 10 to 11. Mr. Kramvis will serve as a director for a term expiring at the Company’s 2015 Annual Meeting, and will not be serving on any committees until after the Company’s 2014 Annual Meeting. The Board has determined that Mr. Kramvis is an “independent director” under NYSE rules and an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Mr. Kramvis, 61, is President and Chief Executive Officer of Honeywell Performance Materials and Technologies, a position he has held since March 2008. Prior to this, he was President of the Environmental and Combustion Controls business of Honeywell International, Inc. from September 2002 to February 2008. Mr. Kramvis is a graduate of Cambridge University, where he studied engineering specializing in electronics, and he holds an M.B.A. from Manchester Business School.
Mr. Kramvis’ compensation for his services as a director will be consistent with that of other non-employee directors of the Company, as described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement with respect to its 2013 Annual Meeting filed with the SEC on March 26, 2013. There are no other arrangements or understandings between Mr. Kramvis and any other person pursuant to which he was appointed as a director, and Mr. Kramvis is not a party to any transaction with the Company that would require disclosure under Item 404 (a) of Regulation S-K.
