On July 31, 2017, at a meeting of the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company, Mr. Steven Boal announced his resignation from his position as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective as of September 1, 2017, and the Board approved the appointment of Mr. Boal as Executive Chairman of the Company, also effective September 1, 2017. Mr. Boal’s transition from Chief Executive Officer to Executive Chairman is not the result of any material disagreement with the Company regarding its operations, policies or practices.

Mr. Boal has served as Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Board since 1998, and as Chairman of the Board since February 2017. Mr. Boal also served as President of the Company from 1998 to September 2015. Mr. Boal is and will remain a full-time employee of the Company. There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Boal and any other persons pursuant to which he was selected as Executive Chairman. There are also no family relationships between Mr. Boal and any director or executive officer of the Company, and the Company has not entered into any transactions with Mr. Boal that are reportable pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

In connection with Mr. Boal’s resignation from his position as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, the Board approved the appointment of Mir Aamir, the Company’s current President and Chief Operating Officer, as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective as of September 1, 2017.

Mr. Aamir previously served as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer from October 2013 through August 2015. Mr. Aamir is a full-time employee of the Company.

d) Election of new directors                                                                                

Additionally, on July 31, 2017, the Board appointed Mr. David Oppenheimer to serve as a member of the Board effective immediately. The Board expanded its size to eight members and appointed Mr. Oppenheimer to fill the newly created seat. Mr. Oppenheimer will serve as a Class III director, with a term expiring at the Company’s 2020 annual meeting of stockholders. Mr. Oppenheimer has also been appointed to the Audit Committee of the Board.

Since October 2015, Mr. Oppenheimer, age 60, has served as the Chief Financial Officer at Planet Labs Inc., an earth imaging company.  Prior to joining Planet Labs, Mr. Oppenheimer served as Chief Financial Officer (from April 2013 to February 2015) at e-commerce company Ebates Inc. (acquired by Rakuten, Inc.). Prior to joining Ebates, Mr. Oppenheimer served as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (from July 2010 to April 2013) at ServiceSource International, Inc.

In connection with his service as a director, Mr. Oppenheimer will receive the Company’s standard non-employee director cash and equity compensation. Mr. Oppenheimer will receive a stock option grant (the “Initial Grant”) with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.  The number of shares subject to the Initial Grant will be determined by dividing $250,000 by the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant or as computed in accordance with such other methodology as the Board or its Compensation Committee will determine. The shares underlying the Initial Grant will vest and become exercisable as to 25% of the shares on each anniversary of the date of grant, subject to continued services as a director through the applicable vesting date.

Mr. Oppenheimer will receive a $30,000 annual retainer for his service as a director and an additional annual payment of $7,500 as a member of the Audit Committee, both to be paid in quarterly installments for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter and pro-rated for the first fiscal quarter during which he serves as a director based on the number of days served after the effective date of his appointment. Starting on the date of the Company’s 2018 annual meeting of stockholders and subject to his continued service on the date of grant, Mr. Oppenheimer will also receive the standard non-employee director equity compensation (the “Annual Grant”). The shares underlying the Annual Grant will vest and become exercisable upon the earlier of (i) the day prior to the next year’s annual meeting of stockholders or (ii) one year from the grant date, subject to continued service as a director through the applicable vesting date.

In connection with his appointment, Mr. Oppenheimer and the Company will enter into the Company’s standard form of director indemnity agreement (the “Indemnity Agreement”). In addition to the indemnification required in the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, the Indemnity Agreement generally provides for the indemnification of Mr. Oppenheimer for all reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with any action or proceeding brought against him by reason of the fact that he is or was serving in such capacity, to the extent indemnifiable under the law. The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the form of Indemnity Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC on February 14, 2014 and which exhibit is incorporated by reference herein.
