(the “Company”), gave notice of his resignation from the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company, effective immediately. Mr. Luehrs served as a Class I director and was a member of the Audit Committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”) and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board (the “NCG Committee”). Mr. Luehrs did not resign as a result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to its operations, policies, or practices.

Mr. Bressner served as a Class I director and was a member of the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) and chairman of the NCG Committee. Mr. Bressner did not resign as a result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to its operations, policies, or practices.

On July 18, 2018, effective immediately upon the resignations of Mr. Luehrs and Mr. Bressner, the Board appointed Dr. Jan Berger and Mr. Michael Purcell as directors of the Board.  Dr. Berger and Mr. Purcell will each serve as a Class I director, to serve until the 2020 annual meeting of stockholders or until his or her earlier resignation, retirement or other termination of service.  The Board has determined that Dr. Berger and Mr. Purcell are independent directors in accordance with applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the Nasdaq Stock Market. Dr. Berger and Mr. Purcell will be compensated in accordance with the non-employee director compensation program of the Board, as described in the Company’s Proxy Statement filed with the SEC on May 1, 2018.

 

Dr. Berger, 61, founded Health Intelligence Partners, a global healthcare consultancy that advises clients on areas of growth, including short-term and long-term healthcare business strategies and solutions, in 2008 and has since served as its President and Chief Executive Officer. From 1999 until 2008, Dr. Berger was Senior Vice President, Chief Clinical Officer and Innovation Officer for CVS Health/Caremark. Over the course of her career, Dr. Berger has worked on a number of healthcare and consumer product boards and has served on the Board of Directors of Cambia Health Solutions since June 2016, the Board of Directors of AccentCare, Inc. since June 2013 and the Board of Directors of GNS Healthcare since June 2013. Dr. Berger also sits on numerous business and healthcare advisory boards. Dr. Berger earned a Doctor of Medicine and a Master’s in Jurisprudence from Loyola University Chicago. The Board believes that Dr. Berger’s experience as a healthcare executive will make her a valuable member of the Company’s Board.

Mr. Purcell also sits on the boards of numerous academic and community organizations.
