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

 

On January 14, 2019, the board of directors (the “Board”) of At Home Group Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Ms. Joanne C. Crevoiserat, age 55, as a Class I director, to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Mr. Brian R. Hoesterey on September 20, 2018. Ms. Crevoiserat has been appointed to serve as an independent member of the Board, and will serve on the Board’s Audit Committee.

 

Ms. Crevoiserat will hold office until the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2020 and until her successor shall be elected and qualified or until her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.

 

Ms. Crevoiserat was not appointed to the Board pursuant to any arrangement or understanding with any other person. Ms. Crevoiserat does not have any family relationships with any director or executive officer of the Company and there are no transactions in which Ms. Crevoiserat has an interest requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.  The Board has determined that Ms. Crevoiserat satisfies the definition of “independent director” under the rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”).

 

In consideration for her service as independent director, Ms. Crevoiserat will be provided with an annual cash retainer of $70,000, which retainer will be prorated for the Company’s current fiscal year, resulting in a retainer of $5,833 in respect of the Company’s current fiscal year. In addition, on January 16, 2019 (the “Date of Grant”), Ms. Crevoiserat was granted restricted stock units (the “Director RSUs”) in respect of a number of shares of common stock of the Company having a Fair Market Value (as defined in the 2016 Equity Plan) of $10,000, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock at the close of the primary trading session of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE on the Date of Grant, which $10,000 amount constitutes a prorated portion of the annual equity incentive grant awarded to other independent directors of the Board, based on the number of months during the Company’s fiscal year during which Ms. Crevoiserat will serve as a director on the Board.  The Director RSUs were granted pursuant to the terms and conditions of the At Home Group Inc. Equity Incentive Plan (the “2016 Equity Plan”) and a notice of grant and restricted stock unit director award agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit 10.5 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (File No. 001-37849) filed on June 7, 2018 and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Ms. Crevoiserat has served as Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer of Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (“A&F”) since February 2017 and served as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of A&F from May 2014 to October 2017.  In addition, Ms. Crevoiserat served as Interim Principal Executive Officer of A&F from June 2016 to February 2017 and was a member of the Office of the Chairman of A&F from October 2015 to February 2017. Prior to joining A&F, Ms. Crevoiserat served in a number of senior management roles at Kohl’s Inc.. From June 2012 to April 2014, Ms. Crevoiserat was the Executive Vice President of Finance of Kohl’s and from November 2008 to June 2012, she served as the Executive Vice President of Merchandise Planning and Allocation of Kohl’s. Prior to her time with Kohl’s, Ms. Crevoiserat held senior finance positions with Wal-Mart Stores and May Department Stores, including Chief Financial Officer of the Filene’s, Foley’s and Famous-Barr brands. Ms. Crevoiserat graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Finance from the University of Connecticut. Ms. Crevoiserat was appointed to our Board because of her professional experience, including her financial expertise and operations experience across multiple retail brands. 

 

The Company will enter into its standard form of indemnification agreement for directors and officers, a copy of which was previously filed as Exhibit 10.16 to Amendment No. 6 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-206772) and is incorporated herein by reference, with Ms. Crevoiserat.
