Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On October 16, 2014, the board of directors of Borderfree, Inc. (the “Company”), elected Ms. Beth Pritchard to serve as a director of the Company effective October 16, 2014. Ms. Pritchard will serve as a Class III director, to serve until the Company's annual meeting of stockholders next following December 31, 2016, or until her successor is duly elected and qualified.
As a non-employee director, Ms. Pritchard will receive cash and equity compensation paid by the Company pursuant to its non-employee director compensation program. In addition, the Company expects to enter into an indemnification agreement with Ms. Pritchard in connection with her appointment to the Board, which is expected to be in substantially the same form as that entered into with the other directors of the Company. There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Pritchard and any other persons pursuant to which she was elected as a director, and Ms. Pritchard has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
Ms. Pritchard has served as a principal and strategic advisor for Sunrise Beauty Studio, LLC, a developer and manufacturer of personal care and fragrance products, since 2009. Ms. Pritchard also has served as North American Advisor to M.H. Alshaya Co., a diverse franchisee group based in the Middle East, since 2009. From 2006 to 2009, Ms. Pritchard was the President and Chief Executive Officer and subsequent Vice Chairman of Dean & DeLuca, Inc., a retailer of gourmet and specialty foods. Ms. Pritchard was the President and Chief Executive Officer of Organized Living Inc., a retailer of home and office storage and organization products, from 2004 to 2005.
From 1991 to 2003, Ms. Pritchard held executive positions with Limited Brands, Inc., the parent company of specialty retailers, serving as President and Chief Executive Officer of Bath & Body Works, Chief Executive Officer of Victoria’s Secret Beauty and Chief Executive Officer of The White Barn Candle Company. Ms. Pritchard currently serves on the board of directors of Vitamin Shoppe, Inc. Ms. Pritchard also serves as a director and member of the compensation committee of Zale Corporation, a director and member of the human resources/compensation committee of Shoppers Drug Mart Corporation and a director and member of the compensation committee and nomination and governance committee of Cabela’s, Inc. Ms. Pritchard also served as a director of Ecolab Inc. from 2004 to 2010, Borders Group, Inc. from 2000 to 2007, and Albertson’s Inc. from 2004 to 2006.
We believe that Ms. Pritchard is qualified to serve as a director due to her extensive experience in the retail industry as the Chief Executive Officer of multi-store retailers and her service on the boards of directors of retailers.
