(d) Election of Directors.

 

On August 6, 2013, upon the recommendation of its Nominating and Governance Committee (the “Committee”), the Company’s Board of Directors elected Harold L. Kestenbaum to serve as a director of the Company until the 2014 annual meeting of stockholders and until the election and qualification of his successor. Concurrently with his election, the Company appointed Mr. Kestenbaum to serve on the Board of Managers of Holdings in accordance with Holdings’ Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement.

 

Mr. Kestenbaum was elected to the Board of Directors pursuant to the terms of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 29, 2013, as amended by the First Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 9, 2013, between the Company and Michael Serruya (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”), relating to the Company’s 6.5% senior convertible notes (each, a “Note”) that were issued on May 10, 2013 and June 11, 2013. The Purchase Agreement provides that for so long as (i) Mr. Serruya, any of his family members or any of his or their respective affiliates (collectively, the “Serruya Group”) (a) is a holder of a Note and (b) beneficially owns in excess of 1.0% of the Company’s common stock, and (ii) the Serruya Group and the other persons who purchased Notes from the Company, in the aggregate, beneficially own in excess of 5.0% of the Company’s common stock, the Committee is obligated to nominate Mr. Serruya or his designee for election to the Board at each meeting of the Company’s stockholders at which directors are to be elected and the Board is obligated to recommend to stockholders that Mr. Serruya or his designee be so elected, unless Mr. Serruya or his designee cannot satisfy all legal and corporate governance requirements regarding service as a director or such recommendation and nomination would cause the Committee or the Board to breach a fiduciary duty (the “Election Conditions”). Pending the next election of directors at the 2014 annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders and subject to the Election Conditions, the Purchase Agreement requires the Committee to recommend for election, and requires the Board to elect, Mr. Serruya or his designee as a director, and Mr. Serruya designated Mr. Kestenbaum for this purpose.

 

The Board of Directors does not presently anticipate appointing Mr. Kestenbaum to serve on any of its committees.

 

For his service as a director, Mr. Kestenbaum will be entitled to receive the fees and other compensation to which the Company’s other non-employee directors are entitled to receive. A discussion of such fees and other compensation is contained in the Company’s definitive proxy statement that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 29, 2013 under the “Director Compensation” heading in the section entitled, “Director Compensation”, which discussion is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Mr. Kestenbaum has not been a party to any transaction with the Company or its subsidiaries of the type required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K, and no such transaction is currently contemplated.
