Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On December 23, 2019, Travis Kalanick informed Uber Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) of his intention to resign as a member of the Company’s board of directors, effective as of December 31, 2019. Mr. Kalanick’s resignation was not the result of any disagreement between Mr. Kalanick and the Company, its management, board of directors or any committee thereof, or with respect to any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.
In a note to the board of directors regarding his departure, Mr. Kalanick stated that “I am resigning from the board effective December 31. I am devoting increasing amounts of time to my new business ventures, and given that I have just sold my remaining shares, I think the time is right for me to move on as a member of the board. The past decade has been an amazing journey for Uber. The company went from a scrappy start-up operating with just a few cars in San Francisco to a truly global phenomenon that changed the way people view transportation. I am proud of all that Uber has achieved and will continue to cheer for its future from the sidelines. I want to thank the board, Dara, and the entire Uber team for everything you've done to further the Uber mission. I wish you all good luck as you take the company into its next phase of growth and development, and I hope you have a healthy and happy holiday season.”
Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO, stated: “Very few entrepreneurs have built something as profound as Travis Kalanick did with Uber. I’m enormously grateful for Travis’ vision and tenacity while building Uber, and for his expertise as a board member. Everyone at Uber wishes him all the best.”
Ron Sugar, the Company’s independent chairperson of the board of directors, stated: “I want to thank Travis for his service as a director on the Board. His unique expertise, honed over 10 years building Uber from a scrappy startup into the global public company it is today, will be missed. On behalf of the entire Board, I wish him the best of luck with his new endeavors.”
