Explanatory Note
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A amends and supplements Items 5.02(b) and 9.01(d) of the Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original 8-K”) filed by CorMedix Inc. on May 15, 2014, in which we reported under Item 5.02 the resignation of Dr. Gary Gelbfish from our Board of Directors. Except as described in this Amendment, no other changes have been made to the Original 8-K.
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
Resignation of Gary Gelbfish, M.D.
We filed a Form 8-K on May 15, 2014 to report the resignation of Dr. Gary Gelbfish from the board of directors. On May 12, 2014, at a board of directors meeting attended by all directors and two members of our law firm, Dr. Gelbfish stated during the meeting that he was resigning his position effective as of the end of the meeting or such other time as the board wished. He read a statement, giving his history with the company and taking issue with certain business matters, none of which the company believed, based on the advice of counsel, rose to the level of disagreements with the operations, policies or practices of the company such as would require disclosure. Later, when the board went into an executive session, the chairman asked Dr. Gelbfish to step outside in light of his decision to resign his position as a director. Dr. Gelbfish did not return to the meeting when the executive session was over and he did not provide the company with any written statement.
Subsequent to the filing of the Form 8-K, on May 15, 2014, Dr. Gelbfish contacted the company via email to say that he had not resigned; he did not mention in this communication any disagreements with the company’s operations, policies or practices. On May 29, 2014, Dr. Gelbfish’s attorney and our counsel spoke about the effectiveness of Dr. Gelbfish’s resignation, at which time Dr. Gelbfish’s attorney implied that Dr. Gelbfish had some disagreements but did not give any specifics. At some point after this, Dr. Gelbfish contacted a director of the company and, in the course of that discussion, stated that he had disagreements with the company, but did not give any specifics as to those disagreements. The nature of those disagreements were not provided to the company, either verbally or in writing, until Dr. Gelbfish provided us a letter dated June 13, 2014, a copy of which is attached to this report as Exhibit 17.1. Included in that letter is Dr. Gelbfish’s statement that his resignation was effective June 13, 2014.
From August 13, 2013 until May 12, 2014, Dr. Gelbfish was the chairman of the board. From December 3, 2013 until April 11, 2014, Dr. Gelbfish served on the Compensation Committee. From November 30, 2012 until April 11, 2014, Dr. Gelbfish also was the chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee, during which time that committee met once, on August 13, 2013.
