Board of Director Updates
On August 5, 2024, the Company announced the appointment of Domenic Maida and Owen Wurzbacher to its Board of Directors (“Board”), effective as of August 6, 2024. Mr. Maida will serve on the Board’s Privacy, Security, and Technology Committee and Mr. Wurzbacher will serve on the Board’s Nominating and Corporate Governance and Compensation Committees. These appointments follow the resignation of Todd Crockett, which was received and became effective July 30, 2024. Mr. Crockett’s decision was not caused, in whole or in part, by a disagreement with the Company or the Board. Mr. Wurzbacher will serve as a Class I director with a term expiring at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2027 and Mr. Maida will serve as a Class III director with a term expiring at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2026.
Messrs. Wurzbacher and Maida will each participate in the Company’s non-employee director compensation program. A summary of the compensation payable to the Company’s non-employee directors was included in the Company’s proxy statement for its 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, filed with the SEC on March 29, 2024, which information is incorporated herein by reference. The initial annual retainer and initial annual restricted stock unit grant to be received by each new director will be prorated for their services during the remainder of fiscal year 2024 and the service period, respectively, starting on August 6, 2024.
In connection with their appointments to the Board, the Company intends to enter into an indemnification agreement with each of Mr. Wurzbacher and Mr. Maida in substantially the same form as the Company has entered into with each of the Company’s existing directors and as previously disclosed in the Company’s public filings.
There were no arrangements or understandings between Messrs. Wurzbacher or Maida and any other persons pursuant to which either of them was selected as a director and there are no family relationships between Messrs. Wurzbacher or Maida and any of the Company’s directors or executive officers. In addition, neither Mr. Wurzbacher nor Mr. Maida is a party to any transaction, or any proposed transaction, required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Mr. Hyzer’s departure as CFO and PFO is not due to any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s financial statements, internal control over financial reporting, operations, policies or practices. In connection with his departure, the Company anticipates entering into a customary separation and release agreement, the terms of which will be disclosed if and when determined by the parties.
In connection with Mr. Hyzer’s departure, Michael Graham O’Brien will assume the role of interim CFO and PFO, effective as of September 6, 2024.
