Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On October 27, 2016, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Chuy’s Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Randall M. DeWitt to the Board.
Mr. DeWitt was appointed as a Class III director with his initial term expiring at the Company’s 2018 annual meeting of stockholders. The Board has determined that Mr. DeWitt is an independent director under the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules. Mr. DeWitt entered into the Company’s standard indemnification agreement for directors.
Mr. DeWitt will receive compensation in accordance with the Company’s existing compensation arrangements for non-employee directors, which are described under the caption “Executive and Director Compensation - Director Compensation” in the Company’s proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 8, 2016. There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. DeWitt and any other person pursuant to which he was selected to serve on the Board, and there are no relationships between Mr. DeWitt and the Company that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
On June 20, 2016, the Company received notice from Nasdaq that the Company no longer complied with Nasdaq’s independent director requirement as a result of the passing of Mr. Schmick. With the appointment of Mr. DeWitt to the Board, the Company has regained compliance with applicable Nasdaq rules.
