The Company announced today the resignation of Carrie Dolan, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, the appointment of Bradley Coleman as principal accounting officer and interim Chief Financial Officer, and the appointment of two directors to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).
Change in Principal Financial Officer
On August 2, 2016, the Board accepted Ms. Dolan’s voluntary resignation as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and principal accounting officer, effective the same day.
In connection with Ms. Dolan’s resignation, the Board appointed Bradley Coleman as the principal accounting officer and interim Chief Financial Officer, while the Company completes a search for a permanent Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Coleman has served as the Company’s Corporate Controller since December 2013 and will continue in that role while fulfilling his new duties. Prior to joining the Company, he served as Vice President, Finance at the Charles Schwab Corporation where he was responsible for technical accounting policy and financial reporting, and served as the controller of the Charles Schwab Bank. Prior to Charles Schwab, Mr. Coleman worked as a manager in the audit practice for KPMG, LLP. Mr. Coleman is a certified public accountant. As part of his appointment as the Company’s principal accounting officer, the Board approved a grant of $1.5 million in restricted stock units, which will vest quarterly over four years from the grant date.
There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Coleman and any other persons pursuant to which he was appointed as the principal accounting officer and interim Chief Financial Officer. There are also no family relationships between Mr. Coleman and any director or executive officer of the Company and he has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
Appointment of Directors
The Company also announced its Board appointed Timothy J. Mayoloulos to the Board as a Class I director, effective August 2, 2016, and will serve until the Company’s 2018 annual meeting of stockholders, or until his successor is duly elected and qualified. Mr. Mayoloulos was also appointed as a member of the Audit Committee.
Mr. Mayopoulos is President and Chief Executive Officer and a member of the board of directors of Fannie Mae, one of the largest providers of mortgage credit in the United States. He joined Fannie Mae in April 2009 as General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, and in September 2010, he assumed the additional role of Chief Administrative Officer. Named Chief Executive Officer in June 2012, Mr. Mayopoulos has led Fannie Mae's support of the U.S. housing market and its efforts to create a better housing finance system for the future. Before joining Fannie Mae, he was General Counsel of Bank of America, held senior management positions at Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, Credit Suisse First Boston and Deutsche Bank, and practiced law at Davis Polk & Wardwell.





Mr. Mayopoulos has also served as a member of the board of directors of Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) since January 2015, and is a graduate of Cornell University and the New York University School of Law.
In connection with his appointment to the Board, Mr. Mayopoulos will receive a pro-rata portion of the annual cash retainer, and a grant of restricted stock units in accordance with the Company’s non-employee director compensation policy as described in the Company’s 2016 proxy statement, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 26, 2016.
There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Mayopoulos and any other persons pursuant to which he was appointed to the board. There are also no family relationships between Mr. Mayopoulos and any director or executive officer of the Company and he has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
The Company also announced that the Board appointed Mr. Sanborn, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, as a Class III director, effective August 2, 2016, to serve until the Company’s 2017 annual meeting of stockholders, or until his successor is duly elected and qualified. In connection with Mr. Sanborn’s appointment, the Board increased its size to nine members.
There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Sanborn and any other persons pursuant to which he was appointed to the board. There are also no family relationships between Mr. Sanborn and any director or executive officer of the Company and he has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
