In connection with Mr. Brightbill’s retirement, the Company appointed Brad Nelson as Chief Executive Officer, effective March 18, 2024. Mr. Nelson will also join the Board at that time, with the size of the Board increasing from eight members to nine. Rock Lambert, the Company’s Lead Independent Director, will assume the role of Chairman of the Board, effective July 1, 2024.

In order to ensure a smooth transition, Mr. Brightbill will remain an employee of the Company through June 30, 2024 and will serve as a consultant from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025 pursuant to a Retirement and Consulting Agreement, the terms of which are summarized below.

During the Consulting Period, Mr. Brightbill will be tasked with providing strategic advice and support to ensure a smooth transition, advising on historical matters and such other activities as may be requested from time to time by the Board. In exchange for these services, Mr. Brightbill will be entitled to the following: (i) continuation of his existing base salary ($725,000 per annum) through the end of the Consulting Period; (ii) continued vesting of all outstanding equity incentive awards through the final vesting date of such awards as if Mr. Brightbill remained employed with the Company through such date; and (iii) continuation of certain other benefits through the end of the Consulting Period. Mr. Brightbill will not receive any new equity incentive awards or be entitled to any additional compensation. The Retirement and Consulting Agreement also contains customary general release of claims and various restrictive covenants, including non-competition, non-solicitation and confidentiality. The foregoing summary of the Retirement and Consulting Agreement is not complete and is subject to, qualified in its entirety by, and should be read in conjunction with, the full text of the Retirement and Consulting Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
