On April 30, 2015, the Board of Directors of CytRx Corporation (“we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) increased the number of directors of the Company from five to six and appointed Eric J. Selter as a member of our Board of Directors. The Board also appointed Mr. Selter as the Chairman of the Audit Committee and as a member of the Compensation Committee of our Board.
Mr. Selter, age 58, has served in many capacities as an investment advisor with Morton Capital Management, LLC, a private wealth management firm with assets under management of $1.4 billion specializing in customized tactical asset allocation using non-traditional alternative investments, since joining in 1998. Such positions include Chief Operating Officer since 2000, Senior Vice President since 2006, and Secretary from 2006 to 2011, then again from 2013 to present. As a member of Morton Capital Management's investment committee, Mr. Selter is involved in the development of investment strategies, portfolio construction, implementation solutions, manager searches and due diligence. In addition to his responsibilities as an investment advisor, Mr. Selter is also responsible for the integration of back office and technology to increase productivity and enhance services provided to clients. Mr. Selter is also an owner of Morton Capital Management. He served as President and Chief Executive Officer of National Staff Network (NSN), a nationally recognized and major leader in the employee leasing industry from 1996 to 1998. From 1982 to 1996, he served as Vice President and Corporate Counsel for the affiliated companies of NSN, until its successful sale in 1996. In his roles, he was responsible for the operational and legal direction of National Staff Network and made significant contributions in the establishment of the legal foundations for the employee leasing industry. Mr. Selter is a private pilot and a member of Angel Flight, providing free non-emergency air travel for patients with serious medical conditions and other compelling needs. He received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Southern California where he graduated magna cum laude in 1979. He then attended Loyola Law School in Los Angeles where he was awarded his Juris Doctor degree in 1982.
In connection with his appointment to the Company’s Board of Directors and consistent with the stock options that were granted to the Company’s directors in December 2014, Mr. Selter received a fully vested option to purchase 180,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $4.39 per share. The option has a 10-year term, and its exercise price is equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date of April 30, 2015. Mr. Selter will receive annual compensation for serving as a director on the same terms as the Company’s other non-employee directors.
Mr. Selter will enter into the Company’s standard indemnification agreement for directors. There have been no transactions since the beginning of the Company’s last fiscal year, nor are there any currently proposed transactions, regarding Mr. Selter (or any of his immediate family members) that are required to be disclosed in accordance with Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
