Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

(d) On January 9, 2018, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Evoqua Water Technologies Corp. (the “Company”) increased the size of the Board by one director (to a total size of eight directors) and filled the vacancy created by such increase by appointing Mr. Peter M. Wilver, age 58, as a Class II director, effective January 9, 2018. Mr. Wilver was appointed to serve as an independent member of the Board. Mr. Wilver will hold office until the date of the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders for fiscal 2019 and until his successor shall be elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal. Mr. Wilver will serve as a member of the Audit Committee in the role of chairman.

 

Mr. Wilver was Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer of Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (“Thermo Fisher”), a publicly-traded leading provider of laboratory products and services (NYSE: TMO), from 2015 to his retirement from Thermo Fisher in March 2017. He previously served 11 years as Chief Financial Officer of Thermo Fisher. Before joining Thermo Fisher in 2000, Mr. Wilver worked for General Electric, Grimes Aerospace Company, and Honeywell International (formerly AlliedSignal), where he most recently served as Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the electronic materials business. Mr. Wilver also serves on the boards of directors of CIRCOR International, Inc. (NYSE: CIR) and Tenet Healthcare Corporation (NYSE: THC), and on the Advisory Board of Letter One Health. Mr. Wilver is a certified public accountant. Mr. Wilver’s qualifications to sit on the Board include his experience in strategic planning and expertise in leading the financial, accounting and investor relations functions of large, multi-national manufacturing companies.

 

Mr. Wilver was not appointed to the Board pursuant to any arrangement or understanding with any other person. Mr. Wilver has no family relationships with any director or executive officer of the Company and there are no transactions in which Mr. Wilver has an interest requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. The Board has determined that Mr. Wilver satisfies the definition of “independent director” under the rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Mr. Wilver will be compensated in the same way as other independent directors of the Company, in accordance with the Company’s director compensation policy, as it may be amended from time to time.

 

The Company and Mr. Wilver will enter into the Company’s standard form of indemnification agreement for directors and officers, a copy of which was previously filed as Exhibit 10.33 to Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-220785) and is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
