On October 16, 2015, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Neff Corporation (the "Company") in a joint meeting expanded the size of the Board from five to six members and appointed Mr. Michael Sileck to the Board of the Company effective immediately. Mr. Sileck will serve as a Class I Director of the Company for a term expiring at the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, at which time his continued Board service will be subject to renomination and stockholder approval. The Board determined that Mr. Sileck qualifies as independent under the director independence standards set forth in the applicable listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange and the rules issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The appointment of Mr. Sileck to the Board was not pursuant to any arrangement or understanding between him and any other person. Mr. Sileck was also appointed to the Audit Committee. As a result of Mr. Sileck's appointment to the Board and the Audit Committee, the Board approved the following composition for its Audit Committee:
Robert Singer, Chairman
Gerard E. Holthaus
Michael Sileck
Mr. Sileck will be compensated in accordance with the Company's previously disclosed compensation policy for non-employee directors as described in the Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A for the Company's 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
There are no family relationships between Mr. Sileck and any of the Company's directors and executive officers and the Company has not entered into any transactions with Mr. Sileck that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
