Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On July 13, 2015 our Board of Directors elected Sam Lazarakis to the Board. Mr. Lazarakis was elected to serve in the class of directors whose term expires at the 2016 annual meeting of our stockholders. At this time the Board has not determined the length of the term Mr. Lazarakis shall stand for election at the 2016 annual meeting. Mr. Lazarakis also has been appointed to each of the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee of the Board.

There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Lazarakis and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as a director.

Mr. Lazarakis shall receive restricted stock units of our common stock with a value of $100,000 in connection with his election to the Board. These restricted stock units shall vest 50% on the first anniversary of their issuance and 50% on the second anniversary of their issuance provided Mr. Lazarakis continues to serve the company on the vesting date. The issuance of these restricted stock units shall occur after the company announces its third quarter earnings for fiscal year 2015. Mr. Lazarakis shall also receive cash compensation under our non-employee director compensation program that will be pro-rated for fiscal 2015 from the date of his election to the Board as well as the committees to which he has been appointed. The terms of this program are disclosed in the proxy statement for our 2015 annual meeting of stockholders.

A copy of the press release announcing the election of Mr. Lazarakis is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
