Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which reflect the Company’s current views with respect to, among other things, statements about the share repurchase program. You can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “estimates,” “projected,” “expects,” “estimated,” “anticipates,” “forecasts,” “plans,” “intends,” “believes,” “seeks,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “future,” “propose,” “target,” “goal,” “objective,” “outlook” and variations of these words or similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions) are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. A further list and description of these risks, uncertainties and other factors can be found in the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These filings and subsequent filings are or will be available online at www.sec.gov or on request from the Company.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On July 30, 2025, the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”), effective immediately, increased the size of the Board from nine to eleven members and appointed Houda Dabboussi and Edwin Bennett as Class II directors, to serve until the 2026 annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company.
The Board also determined that each of Ms. Dabboussi and Mr. Bennett are “independent” under the applicable standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market and the independence standards adopted by the Board in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Board also approved the appointment of each of Ms. Dabboussi and Mr. Bennett to the Compensation Committee and the Audit Committee of the Board.
There were no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Dabboussi and Mr. Bennett and any other persons pursuant to which she or he was elected to the Board, and since the beginning of the last fiscal year, there have been no related party transactions between the Company and Ms. Dabboussi or the Company and Mr. Bennett that would be reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
Ms. Dabboussi and Mr. Bennett will each participate in the Company’s non-employee director compensation program described in the Company’s annual proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 8, 2025.
