Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On December 4, 2013, Higher One Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that on December 2, 2013, the Company co-founders Miles Lasater and Mark Volchek and the Board of Directors of the Company initiated a succession plan to bring the next level of senior leadership into the Company. The board of directors of the Company is forming a search committee and has selected an executive recruiting firm to conduct a search for a new CEO. Mr. Volchek will continue in his role as CEO, will assume the duties of President, effective January 10, 2014, and remains on the board of directors of the Company. Additionally, Mr. Volchek intends to work closely with the new CEO, once hired, to ensure a smooth transition.
Mr. Lasater, who for personal reasons decided to reduce his level of involvement in the day-to-day management of the Company, will step down from his role as President effective January 9, 2014 and notified the board of directors of the Company of his intention to do so on December 2, 2013. He will continue to serve the Company in his current capacity as the Chairman of the board of directors through the next annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company and will continue to support certain key projects on a part-time basis.
