Item 5.02 — Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On July 6, 2012, Andre M. Boisvert was appointed as a member of the Board of Directors of Issuer Direct Corporation (the “Company”).

In addition to his role with the Company, Mr. Boisvert is currently Chairman of Palamida Corporation, the leader in software composition analysis for intellectual property and security risk management. Mr. Boisvert also serves as Vice Chairman of River Logic, Inc., a leader in advance and predictive analytics, and as a Director of Clario Analytics, Inc., a cloud-based marketing analytics solutions company, and Transera Communications Inc., a cloud based adaptive customer engagement solutions company.

Mr. Boisvert additionally serves on the Board of Directors of London-based Emailvision Inc., a leader in email and social marketing; and Portland based Webtrends Inc., a global leader in digital marketing optimization and relevance.

In March 2002, Mr. Boisvert joined the Board of Directors of VA Software Inc., the creator and owner of SourceForge, the largest worldwide repository of open source projects. During his four-year term as a director of VA Software, Boisvert developed extensive knowledge of open source projects and their ability to solve real-world problems that had previously been addressed exclusively through expensive proprietary software solutions.  This experience led Boisvert to co-found Pentaho Corporation, the world’s most popular commercial open source business intelligence platform, in October 2004. Boisvert later became an investor, advisor, and/or director of several other leading commercial open source companies, including Revolution Analytics Inc.; Zenoss Corporation; and Infobright Inc.  Mr. Boisvert also served as Chairman of UBmatrix Inc., from February 2007 through June 2010 when UB Matrix, Inc. was acquired by Edgar Online, Inc.
