ITEM 5.02 DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS

On November 4, 2019, Mr. Thomas Sabol delivered notice of his resignation as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company to be effective November 15, 2019 to pursue another opportunity in the state in which he resides. Mr. Sabol’s resignation states that his departure is not the result of any dispute or disagreement on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure.

The Company is actively recruiting a new Chief Financial Officer.

On November 5, 2019, the Company appointed Mr. Stanley Mbugua as its Group Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer effective immediately as the Company’s principal accounting officer. Mr. Mbugua has been Vice President and Corporate Controller since he joined the Company on September 25, 2017. Prior to joining the Company, from March 2015 through September 2017, Mr. Mbugua served as Senior Director & Corporate Controller of Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (Nasdaq: LSCC, previously, Silicon Image, Inc.). Mr. Mbugua began working at Silicon Image, Inc. in August 2011 and held various positions, including Senior Director & Corporate Controller, Director of Accounting, Assistant Controller and Revenue Manager, until Silicon Image, Inc. was acquired by Lattice Semiconductor Corporation in March 2015, at which time he was appointed to be Senior Director and Corporate Controller of the combined company. Earlier in his career, Mr. Mbugua worked at both PricewaterhouseCoopers and BDO on audit and consulting engagements for both privately held and publicly-traded companies. Mr. Mbugua received his Bachelor of Accounting Degree from the University of Nairobi and is an active Certified Public Accountant. In connection with, and effective as of, his appointment as the Company’s Group Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, Mr. Mbugua’s base salary was increased to $286,000 per year, and he was awarded 10,000 restricted stock units. Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock upon vesting and will vest in three equal annual installments on the applicable anniversary of the grant date, subject to Mr. Mbugua’s continued service to the Company on the applicable vesting date.

Mr. Mbugua was not appointed as the Company’s Chief Accounting Officer and principal accounting officer pursuant to any arrangement or understanding with any other person. Mr. Mbugua does not have any family relationships with any executive officer or director of the Company, and he is not a party to any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

A copy of the press release announcing, among other things, the appointment of Mr. Mbugua and resignation of Mr. Sabol, is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1. Information in such press release relating to the appointment of Mr. Mbugua and the resignation of Mr. Sabol shall be considered “filed” under the Exchange Act and incorporated by reference in our filings under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.
