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

On April 8, 2013, Hooper Holmes, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that its Board of Directors has appointed Mr. Henry E. Dubois as the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, as well as a member of the Company's Board of Directors, effective April 8, 2013. The Company also announced the resignation of Mr. Ransom J. Parker as the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer and as a director of the Company, effective April 8, 2013. Mr. Parker notified the Company of his resignation by letter dated April 8, 2013, which cited no disagreements with the Company regarding the Company's operations, policies or practices. A copy of the press release regarding the appointment of Mr. Dubois and the resignation of Mr. Parker has been furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Since January 3, 2013, Mr. Dubois, age 51, has been serving as a consultant to the Executive Committee of the Board pursuant to an Interim Services Agreement, dated as of January 3, 2013, between Randstad Professionals US, LP, d/b/a Tatum (“Tatum”) and the Company (the “Tatum Agreement”). Since January 2011, Mr. Dubois has been employed by Tatum, a national executive services firm that assists clients by providing interim and full-time senior executives and consulting support. Under the terms of the Tatum Agreement, Mr. Dubois will now serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

From February 2005 through December 2012, he was engaged by GeoEye, Inc., a global supplier of high resolution satellite and aerial imagery. During this time, he provided services to GeoEye as a consultant in strategy, operations and financial management from February through December 2005 and again from January 2009 through December 2012; and he served as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of GeoEye from January 2006 through December 2008. In previous roles, he served as President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer of DigitalGlobe, Inc., an owner/operator of high resolution imaging satellites; Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of PT. Centralindo Panca Sakti, an Asia Pacific region telecommunications company; and Senior Vice President of PT. Ongko Multicorpora, a conglomerate based in Indonesia. Mr. Dubois also served as a consultant with Booz, Allen & Hamilton and began his career as an internal auditor and finance supervisor for Exxon Corporation. He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in mathematics from the College of the Holy Cross and his Master of Management degree from the J. L. Kellogg Graduate School of Management at Northwestern University.

Under the Tatum Agreement the Company makes a base payment to Tatum of $12,000 per week, with a cash bonus of up to an additional $8,000 per week based on certain performance measures. In connection with Mr. Dubois' services, he will receive from Tatum approximately 70% of the amount paid by the Company to Tatum.
 
In connection with the resignation of Mr. Parker, the Company has agreed to treat such resignation as a termination by Mr. Parker for “good reason” under the Employment Agreement, dated as of September 15, 2010, between the Company and Mr. Parker; provided, however, that instead of receiving, as severance, a lump sum payment equal to the amount of his current base salary payable for a one-year period Mr. Parker and the Company agreed that such amount (anticipated to be approximately $400,000 in the aggregate) will be paid in twelve equal monthly installments. Mr. Parker will remain subject to the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions set forth in his Employment Agreement.
