Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On January 3, 2025, Integral Ad Science Holding Corp. (the “Company”) announced the appointment of Jill Putman, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), as non-employee Interim Chief Financial Officer, effective January 3, 2025 (“Effective Date”). Ms. Putman will replace Tania Secor, who departed as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer as of the Effective Date to pursue new opportunities.
In her position as Interim Chief Financial Officer, Ms. Putman will act as the Company’s “principal financial officer” while a formal search process to identify and appoint a permanent Chief Financial Officer is conducted. Ms. Putman will continue to serve as a member of the Board but has stepped down from her position as a member and the Chair of the Audit Committee of the Board. To fill the Audit Committee vacancy, the Board has appointed Mr. Robert Lord as a member and the Chair of the Audit Committee and has determined that Mr. Lord is an “audit committee financial expert.”
Appointment of Interim Chief Financial Officer
Ms. Putman, age 57, has been a member of the Board since January 2021 and also serves on the boards of directors of Arctic Wolf Networks and Avalara. Ms. Putman served as the Chief Financial Officer of Jamf Holding Corp., an enterprise software company, from 2014 until September 2022. From July 2011 to May 2014, Ms. Putman was the Chief Financial Officer of Kroll Ontrack, LLC, an electronic data recovery and destruction company. Ms. Putman has also held senior positions at McAfee and Secure Computing in their finance divisions, and began her career as an auditor at KPMG.
In connection with Ms. Putman’s appointment as the Company’s Interim Chief Financial Officer, on the Effective Date, Ms. Putman and the Company entered into a consulting agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) setting forth the terms of her service as non-employee Interim Chief Financial Officer. Pursuant to the terms of the Consulting Agreement, Ms. Putman will (i) receive cash compensation for her services as Interim Chief Financial Officer in the amount of $83,333 per month; and (ii) receive a one-time equity award with an aggregate value of $1,200,000 which will consist of restricted stock units (“RSUs”). The RSUs will vest over a 1-year period with 16.67% vesting each month for the first three months and the remaining amount in 9 equal installments of 5.56%, and in each case, only if on each applicable vesting date Ms. Putman continues to serve as Interim Chief Financial Officer. The Consulting Agreement contains customary confidentiality and assignment of invention provisions.
There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Putman and any other person pursuant to which Ms. Putman was appointed as Interim Chief Financial Officer. There are no family relationships between Ms. Putman and any director or executive officer of the Company, and the Company is not aware of any transactions with Ms. Putman that are reportable pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
The foregoing description of the Consulting Agreement is not complete and is qualified by reference to the full text and terms of such document, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
