On March 29, 2016, the board of directors of Acxiom Corporation (the “Company”) increased the size of the board from eight to nine directors and appointed Debora Beachner Tomlin to fill the newly created directorship. Ms. Tomlin’s term will expire at the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders so as to maintain an equal number of directors in each class of directors serving on the board.
Ms. Tomlin will be compensated for her board service in accordance with the standard compensation policy for the Company’s non-employee directors and will be eligible to participate in the Acxiom Corporation Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan, each of which are more fully described in the “Non-Employee Director Compensation” section of the Company’s definitive proxy statement for the 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 1, 2015. Committee assignments for Ms. Tomlin will be made at the quarterly meeting of the board of directors currently scheduled for August 9, 2016.
There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Tomlin and any other person pursuant to which she was selected to serve as a director of the Company, nor is she party to any related party transactions required to be reported pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
