This Current Report on Form 8-K is filed by CBRE Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (which we may refer to as “we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company”), in connection with the matters described herein:
| Item 5.02 | Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. |
(d) On March 10, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) appointed Paula R. Reynolds to the Board, effective March 10, 2016, to serve until the Company’s 2016 annual meeting of stockholders. There is no arrangement or understanding between Ms. Reynolds and any other person pursuant to which our Board selected Ms. Reynolds as a director, and Ms. Reynolds has not participated in any “related-party transactions” with the Company as set forth in Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. The Board has also determined that Ms. Reynolds is “independent” as defined under New York Stock Exchange and Securities and Exchange Commission rules and guidance as well as under the Board’s Corporate Governance Guidelines and its Categorical Independence Standards.
Ms. Reynolds will receive the Company’s standard compensation package for non-employee directors. We described this standard compensation package in our definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2015. She and the Company also entered into the Company’s standard form of Indemnification Agreement for members of its Board.
| Item 7.01 | Regulation FD Disclosure. |
On March 14, 2016, the Company issued a press release announcing the appointment of Ms. Reynolds to the Board. We have attached a copy of that press release as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporate it by reference herein.
The information contained in this Item 7.01 and Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
