Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

 

Resignation of Interim CEO and CFO

 

On September 5, 2018, the board of directors (the “Board”) of ProLung, Inc. (the “Company”) met to discuss the need to recalibrate the Company’s management team to better position the Company to achieve success in connection with its pending clinical validation study and application for FDA marketing authorization in connection with the “ProLung Test,” while also lowering expenses.

 

As part of that recalibration, on September 5, 2018, in order to facilitate the appointment of a new Interim Chief Executive Officer, Michael Garff resigned as Interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company. On the same day, Mark V. Anderson resigned as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Neither resignation was the result of any dispute or disagreement with the Company or the Board on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies, practices or financial statements, including its controls or other financial related matters.

 

Following their resignations, Mr. Garff will continue in his position as Chief Operating Officer of the Company, while Mr. Anderson has accepted a position as an audit partner at Haynie and Company. Mr. Garff and Mr. Anderson will each continue to serve on the Board in their positions as director.

 

Appointment of New Interim CEO; Performance of Accounting Functions

 

Concurrent with Mr. Garff’s resignation, the Board appointed Jared Bauer as the new Interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company. In connection with his appointment as Interim Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Bauer will receive annual compensation $60,000.

 

Mr. Bauer, age 37, currently serves on the Board as a director (as noted in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 3, 2018) and has been the Chief Executive Officer of ApolloDx, LLC, an in vitro mobile point-of-care diagnostic company, since April 2014. In addition, since June 2017, Mr. Bauer has been the Chief Executive Officer of CibusDx Inc., a company delivering technology that improves food safety testing. Mr. Bauer co-founded and led the Idaho Business Council, a non-partisan collaboration between the State’s business community and all of its research universities to promote Idaho-based research and economic development. In 2012, Mr. Bauer founded Exuro Medical, a developer and supplier of first aid burn care products, where he worked as Chief Executive Officer until December 2016. Mr. Bauer led the Exuro team to expand BurnFree distribution to 58 countries, managing regulatory processes, re-working quality systems, and making BurnFree the second largest burn treatment product line in the world. Mr. Bauer led Exuro Medical through a successful exit transaction in 2016. Mr. Bauer currently serves as a trustee at The Oliver Fund, a non-profit he co-founded, and has recently served as an adjunct professor of entrepreneurship at LDS Business College. Mr. Bauer earned a Master of Business Administration degree from Boise State and a Bachelor of Science degree in economics from the University of Utah.

 

In connection with the recalibration discussed above, on September 5, 2018, the Board voted to allow Mr. Anderson, in his position as an audit partner at Haynie and Company, to perform certain accounting functions for the Company in lieu of hiring a replacement financial officer. While no agreement for this consulting arrangement has yet been formalized, the fee for these services is expected to be $10,000 per fiscal quarter.
