Item 5.02Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On September 1, 2016, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Majesco, a California corporation (the “Company”), appointed Westley Thompson as a member of the Board, effective immediately.  Mr. Thompson will serve for a term expiring at the next annual meeting of shareholders in 2017.  Mr. Thompson was also appointed to serve on the Compensation Committee of the Board.

 

Since January 2015, Mr. Thompson, 61, has served as the Founder and CEO of Emerge, and from 2008 until April 2014, Mr. Thompson served as the President of Sun Life Financial U.S. During his career, Mr. Thompson has held executive roles at Lincoln Financial Group and CIGNA Individual Insurance. Since November 2015, Mr. Thompson has served on the Board of Goldman Sachs Trust II and served on the Board of Phoenix Wealth Management from September 2014 to June 2016. Mr. Thompson earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Economics from Brown University.

 

Majesco believes that Mr. Thompson’s extensive knowledge of finance, operations, and general management of a life and annuity insurance company and valuable experience in corporate governance, acquisitions, strategic planning and leadership development qualify him to serve on Majesco’s board of directors.

 

Mr. Thompson’s ongoing annual compensation will be consistent with that provided to the Company’s other non-employee directors, as described in Item 11 of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 23, 2016, and as amended on July 26, 2016, under the heading “Executive Compensation,” and the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 22, 2016. In addition, Mr. Thompson entered into an indemnification agreement with the Company effective September 1, 2016, substantially in the form of the indemnification agreement entered into between the Company and its other directors and officers, previously filed with the SEC on September 1, 2015 as Exhibit 10.1 to Majesco’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-202180).

 

There is no arrangement or understanding between Mr. Thompson and any other persons pursuant to which Mr. Thompson was selected as a director. There are no related party transactions involving Mr. Thompson that are reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
