On March 18, 2015, Stephen W. Bosworth, a director since 2006 and Chair of the Compensation Committee of the board of directors of International Textile Group, Inc. (the “Company”), tendered his resignation from such positions effective April 1, 2015.
Also on March 18, 2015, Dr. Daniel D. Tessoni, a director since 2005 and Chair of the Audit Committee of the Company’s board of directors, tendered his resignation from such positions effective April 1, 2015.
The Company expresses its deep gratitude to Mr. Bosworth and Dr. Tessoni for their long service and many contributions to the Company.
John W. Gildea, a director of the Company, will become Chair of the Compensation Committee effective April 1, 2015.
William P. Carmichael, a director of the Company, will become Chair of the Audit Committee of the Company’s board of directors effective April 1, 2015. The Company’s board of directors has determined that Mr. Carmichael is an audit committee financial expert (within the meaning of Item 407(d) of Regulation S-K, promulgated under the Exchange Act) with respect to the Company. In making such determination, the board took into consideration, among other things, the express provision in Item 407(d) of Regulation S-K that the designation of a person as an audit committee financial expert shall not impose any greater responsibility or liability on that person than the responsibility and liability imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and the board of directors, nor shall it affect the duties and obligations of other audit committee members or the board. The common stock of the Company is not traded on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) or any other national securities exchange; however, the Company’s board of directors has determined that Mr. Carmichael is independent within the meaning of NYSE Rule 303A.02 and Rule 10A-3(b) promulgated under Section 10A of the Exchange Act.
