On May 2, 2018, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Atkore International Group Inc. (the “Company”), upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board, appointed Michael V. Schrock to serve as a director of the Company. Mr. Schrock will serve as a Class II director and hold office until the Company’s 2021 annual meeting of stockholders and until Mr. Schrock’s successor is duly elected and qualified or until Mr. Schrock’s earlier death, incapacity, resignation or removal. The Board determined, after considering all relevant facts and circumstances, that Mr. Schrock is “independent” as defined under New York Stock Exchange listing standards.
Mr. Schrock will receive the director compensation described in the Company’s proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 15, 2017 (the “Proxy Statement”), on a prorated basis. The Company also expects to enter into an indemnification agreement with Mr. Schrock. The form of indemnification agreement is an exhibit on the Company’s Form S-1/A filed with the SEC on May 5, 2016, and is described in the Proxy Statement.
There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Schrock and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Schrock was selected as a director.
Mr. Schrock will be entitled to participate in the Company’s director compensation plan. Such director compensation plan is described in more detail under “Executive Compensation-Director Compensation” in the Proxy Statement.
The Company’s press release announcing Mr. Schrock’s election is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
