Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On January 23, 2017, Rafael Astruc resigned from the board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) of Garrison Capital Inc. (the “Company”). Mr. Astruc’s decision to resign was not due to any dispute or disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.
As previously reported, on December 9, 2016, the Company notified the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“Nasdaq”) that, as a result of the passing of Bruce Shewmaker, an independent director, the Company was out of compliance with Rule 5605(b)(1), which requires each Nasdaq listed company to have a majority of independent directors. As a result of Mr. Astruc’s resignation, a majority of the Board of Directors is now comprised of independent directors and the Company has regained compliance with Rule 5605(b)(1).
