(d)       Election of Directors

 

On September 14, 2020, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Collectors Universe, Inc. (the “Company”) increased the size of the Board from five to eight members and appointed Kate W. Duchene, Vina M. Leite and Jon M. Sullivan to fill the resulting vacancies and serve as members of the Board. The appointments are effective immediately.

 

Initially, Ms. Duchene will serve on the Nominating and Governance Committee, Ms. Leite will serve on the Compensation Committee and Mr. Sullivan will serve on the Audit Committee.

 

As non-management directors, Ms. Duchene, Ms. Leite and Mr. Sullivan will receive compensation in the same manner as the Company’s other non-management directors, which compensation the Company disclosed in its definitive proxy statement for its 2019 annual meeting of stockholders filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 24, 2019. Upon joining the Board, each of the new directors received a grant of Company common stock, equal in value to $45,000 with the exact number of shares based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on September 11, 2020.

 

The Company expects that Ms. Duchene, Ms. Leite and Mr. Sullivan will each enter into standard director and officer indemnification agreements that the Company has with its directors and officers. A copy of the Company’s form of director and officer indemnification agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.7 to the Company’s Form S-1 filed on September 2, 1999.

 

There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Duchene, Ms. Leite or Mr. Sullivan and any other persons pursuant to which Ms. Duchene, Ms. Leite or Mr. Sullivan were selected as directors. There are no transactions, arrangements or relationships between the Company or its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Ms. Duchene, Ms. Leite or Mr. Sullivan, on the other hand, which would require disclosure pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

Item 8.01Other Events.

 

On September 14, 2020, the Company issued a press release announcing the appointments of Ms. Duchene, Ms. Leite and Mr. Sullivan to the Board, and the retention of Shelton Group to provide investor relations support to the Company.
