Item 8.01 Other Events.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of SuccessFactors, Inc. annually conducts a review of Board performance and structure, which includes an evaluation of the Board's composition and membership, committee structure and membership, and overall leadership structure and governance practices. The Board considers it a good governance practice to periodically rotate Board leadership roles, including the chairperson roles of the Board and its committees, among members of the Board who have suitable backgrounds and availability to perform these roles. As part of its annual review, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommended, and on June 9, 2010, the Board approved, the following committee assignments effective as of June 9, 2010:
|
Audit Committee: |
Eric Dunn (Chair), William McGlashan and Elizabeth Nelson |
|
Compensation Committee: |
Douglas Burgum (Chair), David Strohm and David Whorton |
|
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee: |
Elizabeth Nelson (Chair), William McGlashan and David Strohm |
|
Mergers and Acquisitions Committee: |
William McGlashan (Chair) and Elizabeth Nelson |
At the same time, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommended, and the Board approved, the appointment of Douglas Burgum as independent Chairman of the Board, succeeding David Strohm, who has held this role since 2005 and has been a Director since SuccessFactors was founded in 2001. Mr. Burgum has been a Director of SuccessFactors since 2007, and was previously Chairman and CEO of Great Plains Software, Inc., and following its acquisition by Microsoft Corporation in 2001, a Senior Vice President of Microsoft until 2007.
