On February 28, 2017, the Board of Directors of Meritor, Inc. (the “Company”), pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company and Section 3.1 of the Amended and Restated By-laws of the Company, (i) approved an increase in the number of directors of the Company to nine (9), (ii) elected David C. Parry to fill the newly created vacancy as a Class III director with a term expiring at the 2018 annual meeting of shareholders and (iii) appointed Mr. Parry as a member of the compensation and management development committee, in each case effective as of April 20, 2017. A copy of the Company’s Press Release with respect to Mr. Parry’s appointment is attached hereto as Exhibit 99-a and incorporated herein by reference.

As a non-employee director of the Company, Mr. Parry will receive an annual cash retainer of $90,000 for Board service. Non-employee directors also receive fees of $1,500 for attendance at each standing and special committee meeting ($750 for each telephone meeting). As part of director compensation, each non-employee director is also entitled to receive an annual equity grant equal to a value of approximately $100,000, in the form of restricted stock or restricted share units, at the director’s discretion. The restricted stock and restricted share units vest upon the earliest of (i) three years from the date of grant or (ii) the date the director resigns or ceases to be a director under circumstances the Board determines not to be adverse to the best interests of the Company. In connection with his appointment, Mr. Parry’s annual cash retainer and equity award will be pro-rated for his time of service for the current year.

There are no family relationships, as defined in Item 401 of Regulation S-K, between Mr. Parry and any of the Company’s executive officers and any director, executive officer or person nominated to become a director or executive officer.
