Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On June 21, 2019, the board of directors (the “Board”) of CNX Resources Corporation (the “Company”) unanimously approved the election of Mr. Ian McGuire to the Board, effective July 1, 2019. He will serve as a member of the Audit, Compensation and Health Safety and Environmental Committees of the Board. His election underscores the Board’s commitment to balance the experience and tenure of our current directors with new directors who bring different perspectives, and to have the depth of experience necessary to effectively execute our director succession plan, consistent with the Company’s director retirement policy and the Company’s desire to maintain a small and highly focused Board.
In 2018, Mr. McGuire founded Tempus Partners, an investment firm. Prior to founding Tempus Partners, Mr. McGuire was an investment partner at SPO Partners (“SPO”), where he was part of a small investment team that had responsibilities for all aspects of the firm’s portfolio investments. Prior to working at SPO Partners, Mr. McGuire was an investment banker in Goldman Sachs’ natural resources group. Cumulatively, Mr. McGuire has over 16 years of investment banking experience, with an emphasis in the energy and natural resources sectors. Mr. McGuire received his B.A. from Middlebury College and his M.B.A. from Stanford Graduate School of Business.
As a non-employee director of the Board, Mr. McGuire will be entitled to receive the same standard compensation paid to other non-employee directors, pro-rated for his service during the 2019-2020 Board year. His annual cash compensation will include the following: $82,500 (which represents his pro-rated Board retainer of $90,000), $9,167 (which represents his pro-rated Audit Committee fee of $10,000), and $4,583 (which represents his pro-rated Compensation Committee fee of $5,000). Effective July 1, 2019 and pursuant to the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan, he will also receive a restricted stock unit award of $165,000 (which represents his pro-rated annual equity retainer of $180,000).
Mr. McGuire is not a party to any arrangements or understanding with any other person pursuant to which they were selected as a director, and there are and have been no transactions since the beginning of the Company’s last fiscal year, or currently proposed, involving Mr. McGuire, either directly or indirectly, that are required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
