Election of Director

 

Effective January 5, 2017, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Smart & Final Stores, Inc. (the “Company”) elected Elaine Rubin to the Board as a Class II director, with her term expiring as of the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company to be held in 2019.

 

There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Rubin and any other person pursuant to which she was elected to the Board, and there are no relationships between Ms. Rubin and the Company that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

In accordance with the Company’s director compensation policy, Ms. Rubin will receive (1) a pro-rated annual cash retainer of $50,000 for her service as a director, (2) $1,500 for each board meeting attended and (3) a grant of restricted stock under the Company’s 2014 Stock Incentive Plan in an amount to be determined.

 

A copy of the Company’s press release announcing the foregoing matters is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Compensatory Arrangements

 

As previously disclosed, Martin J. Trtek retired from his position as President of Cash & Carry effective January 8, 2017, at which time he ceased to serve as an executive officer of the Company.  Following his retirement, Mr. Trtek will remain employed by Cash & Carry as an advisor.  In his new role, Mr. Trtek will assist in the transition of his responsibilities and provide advisory services through January 7, 2018.  Until his successor is appointed, Mr. Trtek’s responsibilities will be assumed by Cash & Carry’s senior management team.  During the advisory period, Mr. Trtek will receive a weekly salary of approximately $1,000 and will be eligible to participate in Cash & Carry’s non-executive benefit plans.
