(d) On February 9, 2016, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company appointed Carl Bass, President and Chief Executive Officer of Autodesk, Inc., to the Board as a Class II director, effective that day, with a term expiring at the Company’s 2016 annual meeting of stockholders. Concurrent with his election as a director, Mr. Bass was appointed to the Compensation Committee of the Board.

 

There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Bass and any other persons pursuant to which he was selected as a director. Additionally, there are no transactions involving the Company and Mr. Bass that the Company would be required to report pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
