Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On August 27, 2024, Mr. James Dolan provided notice of his intention to resign from the Board of Directors of Hall of Fame Resort & Entertainment Company (the “Company”) for health and other personal reasons. The effective date for Mr. Dolan’s resignation is September 3, 2024.
As a Class C director, Mr. Dolan’s current term was set to expire at the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Mr. Dolan served as the Vice Chairman of the Board and most recently as Chair of the Compensation Committee of the Board. Given Mr. Dolan’s resignation, the Board of Directors has appointed Kimberly Schaefer to the role of Chair of the Compensation Committee, a role that she held prior to Mr. Dolan assuming that role in March 2024. Likewise, the Board of Directors has appointed Karl Holz to the role of Vice Chairman, in addition to his existing role as Lead Independent Director.
Mr. Dolan confirmed that his departure was due to health reasons and other personal obligations requiring significant time and attention and was not due to any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to its operations, policies or practices. Having served as a Director and Vice Chairman of the Board since the inception of the Company, the Company and entire Board of Directors are extremely appreciative of Mr. Dolan’s dedicated and long-standing service. His leadership and guidance on the Board of Directors has been invaluable and we wish him the very best.
