On March 9, 2017, we announced that our Board of Directors (the “Board”) elected Jessica Denecour, age 54, as a member of our Board, effective March 8, 2017. Ms. Denecour will serve as a Class I director with a term expiring at our 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until her successor has been duly elected and qualified. The Board has affirmatively determined that Ms. Denecour is an independent director pursuant to Nasdaq’s governance listing standards and those rules and regulations issued pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Since January 2006, Ms. Denecour has served as Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer of Varian Medical Systems (“Varian”).  Prior to joining Varian, Ms. Denecour worked for Agilent Technologies (“Aligent”) as Vice President of Enterprise Applications from April 2005 to December 2005, and as Vice President of Global Infrastructure from June 2000 until March 2005. Prior to Agilent, Ms. Denecour worked for 18 years at Hewlett Packard in increasing levels of responsibility, most recently as Senior Director of IT for Test and Measurement until that business was spun off into Agilent. Ms. Denecour holds a B.S. degree in Business Administration and Management Information Systems from California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo. She brings to the Board specific expertise in information technology and cyber security.

In connection with her election, Ms. Denecour will be eligible to participate in the Company’s standard compensation arrangements for non-employee directors, including receiving cash and equity compensation pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy (the “Amended Policy”). Ms. Denecour was granted an RSU to purchase 11,107 shares of stock under the Amended Policy, which will vest on the date of our next annual meeting in 2017.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Denecour and any other persons pursuant to which Ms. Denecour was named a director of the Company. Ms. Denecour has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction or proposed transaction required to be reported under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K or Item 5.02(d) of Form 8-K.
