Item 5.02. | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. |
(d) On July 22, 2013, Regal Beloit Corporation (the “Company”) announced that the Company's Board of Directors (the “Board”) has elected Jane L. Warner to serve on the Board as a Class C director with an initial term continuing until the 2014 annual meeting of shareholders. Ms. Warner's election to the Board will be effective July 25, 2013.
In connection with Ms. Warner's election, the Board by resolution increased its size from nine directors to ten directors, with Ms. Warner's election filling the resulting vacancy.
Ms. Warner is recently retired from Illinois Tool Works as the Executive Vice President, Decorative Surfaces and Finishing Systems. Prior to joining Illinois Tool Works in 2005, Ms. Warner had progressing levels of responsibility at General Motors, Textron Inc., Electronic Data Systems and Plexus Systems. Ms. Warner holds an M.B.A. from Stanford University, and both MA and BA degrees from Michigan State University. Ms Warner currently serves on the board of directors for each of Tenneco Inc. (NYSE: TEN) and MeadWestvaco Corporation (NYSE: MWV).
The Board has determined that Ms. Warner is independent under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange and the Company's criteria for determining director independence. Ms. Warner will be named to the Audit Committee of the Board, also effective July 25, 2013.
As a non-employee director, Ms. Warner will be compensated in accordance with the Company's compensation policies for non-employee directors, which are as described in the Company's proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
There are no arrangements between Ms. Warner and any other person pursuant to which Ms. Warner was elected to serve as a director, nor are there any transactions in which the Company is a participant in which Ms. Warner has a material interest requiring disclosure pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The Company's press release issued on July 22, 2013 announcing Ms. Warner's election to the Board is filed herewith as Exhibit 99 and incorporated herein by reference.
