Item 5.02 - Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On November 1, 2015, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Evolent Health, Inc. (the “Company”) increased the number of directors on the Board to ten and appointed Cheryl Scott as a director. The Board also appointed Ms. Scott to the Company’s audit committee, having determined that she meets the financial literacy and experience requirements of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) for service on that committee. Ms. Scott has served as a Senior Advisor for Global Programs at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation since 2007, and she served as the foundation’s Chief Operating Officer from 2006 to 2007. From 1997 to 2005, she served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Group Health Cooperative, a Seattle, Washington based not-for-profit healthcare organization. Ms. Scott holds a bachelor’s degree in communications and a master’s degree in health administration from the University of Washington.
The Board has determined that Ms. Scott is an independent director under the NYSE Corporate Governance Standards and that she meets the Securities and Exchange Commission’s independence requirements for service on the Company’s audit committee. There was no arrangement or understanding between Ms. Scott and any other persons pursuant to which Ms. Scott was selected as a director. As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, neither Ms. Scott nor any of her immediate family members is a party, either directly or indirectly, to any transactions that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
Ms. Scott will have the same director indemnification arrangements described in the Company’s final prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 5, 2015. In addition, Ms. Scott will be eligible to participate in the compensation arrangements and programs that are established for the Company’s non-employee directors.
