ITEM
5.02 DEPAPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR
CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS;
COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS
On June
8, 2011, the Board of Directors elected Steven L. Hallgrimson to fill an
existing vacancy on the Board. Mr. Hallgrimson was also appointed to
the Audit Committee of Board of Directors. The Board has determined
that Mr. Hallgrimson meets the requirements as an "independent" director under
the applicable rules and regulations of The NASDAQ Stock Market. The
Board of Directors has also designated Mr. Hallgrimson as the "audit committee
financial expert" as defined under the applicable rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
Mr.
Hallgrimson, age 69, had been practicing law in the San Jose, California area
since 1969 in the areas of real estate, taxation and general business planning
and is a certified public accountant. He is currently of-counsel with
the law firm of Berliner Cohen located in San Jose, California. Mr.
Hallgrimson has founded and served as a board member for several private
business entities engaged in automobile lending, commercial real estate
brokerage and telecommunications. He has been an instructor at San
Jose State University Business School and University of California, Santa Cruz
teaching a variety of business, real estate and tax courses. Mr.
Hallgrimson is a member of the California State Bar and California Society of
Certified Accountants. He serves as a trustee and president of the
Santa Clara County Law Library and is a former board member of the San Jose Art
Museum. He earned a B.A. from Claremont McKenna College and a Juris
Doctor from the University of California at Berkeley, Boalt Hall School of
Law. The Board has elected Mr. Hallgrimson because he brings legal,
accounting and tax knowledge and experience to the Board and because of his
involvement and extensive relationships in the community in which the Company
serves. His background is particularly suited to serve as a member of
the Board's Audit Committee and as that committee's "financial
expert".
Heritage
Commerce Corp has issued press release announcing the appointment of Steven L.
Hallgrimson to the Board which is attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1 and
incorporated herein by reference.
