Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

(d) On November 18, 2013, the Board of Directors of NTIC, upon recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, elected Barbara D. Colwell as a director of NTIC, effective immediately.
Barbara D. Colwell, age 68, is retired and currently serves as a member of the board of directors or advisory board of several non-profit organizations and private companies, including most notably, the Publishers Clearing House, LLC, Mutual Trust Financial Group, WomenCorporateDirectors, IPTAR (Institute for Psychoanalytic Training and Research) and the Belizean Grove.
Ms. Colwell was appointed as a member of the Audit Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors of NTIC. There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Colwell and any other person pursuant to which she was selected as a director, and there have been no transactions since the beginning of NTIC’s last fiscal year, or are currently proposed, regarding Ms. Colwell that are required to be disclosed by Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. In connection with the election of Ms. Colwell to the Board, Ms. Colwell was granted an option to purchase 3,000 shares of NTIC common stock at an exercise price of $17.11 per share, which equals the mean between the reported high and low sale prices of NTIC common stock on November 18, 2013, the date of grant. The option has a 10 year term and will vest in full on November 18, 2014. In addition, it is expected that NTIC will enter into an indemnification agreement with Ms. Colwell in the same form that NTIC has entered into with its other directors, pursuant to which NTIC will agree to provide indemnification and advancement of expenses to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law and NTIC’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation. A copy of the form of indemnification agreement was attached as Exhibit 10.1 to NTIC’s current report on Form 8-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 24, 2008.
Ms. Colwell will receive compensation and participate in plans as a non-employee director of NTIC as described in Exhibit 10.2 to this report.
