Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
Effective March 25, 2016, Brian McAndrews resigned as president, chief executive officer and director of Pandora Media, Inc. (the “Company”) as part of the Company’s management reorganization. In connection with Mr. McAndrews’ resignation, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) named Tim Westergren, a current director and one of the Company’s founders, as its chief executive officer. The Board also named James M. P. Feuille, a current director of the Board, as chairman of the Board, which led to the separation of the chief executive officer and chairman positions. As a result, Peter Gotcher will no longer serve as the Board’s lead independent director.
Upon his departure, Mr. McAndrews will be eligible for benefits under the Company’s existing Executive Severance and Change of Control Policy, which are described in the Company’s 2015 Proxy Statement as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 21, 2015.
