Appointment of Mark M. Anderson as Director
On October 22, 2018, Mark M. Anderson was appointed as a member of the board of directors (the “Board”) of EVO Transportation & Energy Services, Inc. (the “Company”). Mr. Anderson is expected to serve as chair of the audit committee of the Board upon formation of the audit committee. Simultaneously with the appointment of Mr. Anderson, the Board took action to increase the number of directors constituting the entire Board to seven directors pursuant to the Company’s bylaws. There are no related party transactions involving Mr. Anderson that are reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
In connection with his appointment to the Board, the Company granted stock options to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to Mr. Anderson. The options are exercisable at a price of $2.50 per share, which the Board determined was the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. 25% of the options vested on the grant date, and the remaining options vest in equal annual installments on the first, second and third anniversary of the grant date. However, all unvested options vest immediately upon the Company’s closing on an aggregate of at least $30,000,000 in any combination of public and private equity and debt financings after the grant date.
Appointment of New Chairman
Also on October 22, 2018, Scott Honour, Chairman of the Board, informed the Board of his decision to step down from his role as Chairman, effective immediately. In connection with Mr. Honour’s resignation as Chairman, the Board appointed Thomas Abood, a member of the Board, as Chairman of the Board, effective October 22, 2018. Mr. Honour will remain on the Board.
Appointment of Damon Cuzick as President
