Section 5 – Corporate Governance and Management
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
(d)    On May 6, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company, upon recommendation of the Board’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, elected Messrs. Saar Gillai and Ronald S. Jankov and Dr. Thomas H. Lee to the Board effective immediately for a term continuing to the Company’s 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. These appointments increase the size of the Board to eleven members. The Board determined that Messrs. Gillai and Jankov and Dr. Lee will be independent directors within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing standards. Messrs. Gillai and Jankov and Dr. Lee have not been appointed to any committees of the Board.
There is no arrangement or understanding between either Mr. Gillai, Mr. Jankov, or Dr. Lee and any other persons pursuant to which either Mr. Gillai, Mr. Jankov or Dr. Lee was selected as a director, and Messrs. Gillai and Jankov and Dr. Lee have no interests in transactions in which the Company is a participant that would give rise to any disclosure under Regulation S-K Item 404(a).
Messrs. Gillai and Jankov and Dr. Lee each will receive compensation for his Board service in accordance with the Company’s standard compensation arrangements for non-employee directors, which are described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 29, 2015. The Company will enter into an indemnification agreement with Messrs. Gillai and Jankov and Dr. Lee in the form of the Company’s standard form of indemnification agreement, which requires the Company to indemnify directors to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.
