Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
(c) On August 6, 2015, Mr. Joseph E. Hart, 64, was appointed as a member of the Board of Directors of ADDvantage Technologies Group, Inc. (the “Company”). Mr. Hart was appointed to serve on the Audit, Compensation and Governance and Nominating Committees of the Company’s Board of Directors. Mr. Hart has over 30 years of experience in the telecommunications industry and will provide valuable insight of this industry to the Board and the Company as the Company continues to evolve its strategic vision and grow.
On July 1, 2015, the Company received notification from Nasdaq that it was no longer in compliance with Nasdaq’s independent director and audit committee requirements as set forth in Listing Rule 5605. This rule requires that the Company’s Board of Directors be composed of a majority of independent directors. The Company’s Board of Directors had been composed of three independent directors and two non-independent directors but the resignation of independent director Paul Largess on June 30, 2015 resulted in an equal number of independent and non-independent directors at the Company. In addition, this rule also requires the Company to have at least three independent directors on the audit committee. On August 7, 2015, the Company received notification from Nasdaq that Mr. Hart’s appointment to the Board of Directors and Audit Committee restored the Company to compliance with Listing Rule 5605. The matter is now closed.
