Appointment of Michael T. Smith to the Company’s Board of Directors

 

In accordance with the Company’s Bylaws, on February 5, 2015, Mr. Michael T. Smith was appointed as a member of the Board of Directors (the “Board), effective as of such date. Mr. Smith’s term as a member of the Board shall expire at our 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until such time as his successor is duly elected and qualifies, or until the earlier of his death, resignation or removal.

 

Mr. Smith, age 71, is the former Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Hughes Electronics Corporation, having served from October 1997 to May 2001. From 1985 until 1997 he served in a variety of capacities for Hughes, including Vice Chairman of Hughes Electronics, Chairman of Hughes Missile Systems and Chairman of Hughes Aircraft Company. Prior to joining Hughes, he spent nearly 20 years with General Motors Corporation in a variety of financial management positions.

 

Mr. Smith is currently a director, Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee and Audit Committee member of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, which provides enabling technologies for industrial growth markets.

Hiring of Timothy Peach as Chief Financial Officer

 

On March 12, 2015, the Company announced that it had entered into an At-Will Employment Agreement (the “CFO Agreement”) with Mr. Timothy Peach pursuant to which Mr. Peach would serve as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer.

 

The CFO Agreement provides that Mr. Peach will serve at the will of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and may be terminated without notice or cause. Subject to other customary terms and conditions of such agreements, the CFO Agreement provides that Mr. Peach will receive a base salary of $96,000 per year, which may be adjusted each year at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. As further consideration, the CFO Agreement included at the time of execution to Mr. Peach, 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and cashless warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 with a term of five years. After six months of continuous employment and satisfactory review by the Board, the CFO Agreement provides that Mr. Peach will receive cashless warrants to purchase 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 with a term of five years.
