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

On July 16, 2019, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of The Parking REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from John Alderfer pursuant to which he resigned as an independent director from the Board, effective immediately.  At the time of his resignation, Mr. Alderfer served as the Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Board and a member of the Compensation Committee of the Board.

In connection with his resignation, Mr. Alderfer indicated that he is no longer able to devote the time and effort required to adequately fulfill his duties as a member of the Board, and that his resignation is in no part due to any disagreement with the Company.  A copy of Mr. Alderfer’s resignation letter is attached as Exhibit 17.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

On July 16, 2019, the Board, at a duly called and held meeting of the Board, upon the recommendation of the Nominating Committee of the Board, elected Robert J. Aalberts, effective July 16, 2019, to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Mr. Alderfer and to serve in such capacity until the next annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders and until his successor is duly elected and qualifies.  The Board also appointed Mr. Aalberts to serve on the Compensation Committee of the Board and has determined that Mr. Aalberts is an “Independent Director” as such term is defined in the charter of the Company.  Also, at the July 16, 2019 Board meeting, the Board appointed John Dawson, Lead Independent Director, as chairman of the Audit Committee of the Board.

There were no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Aalberts and any other persons regarding his election to the Board, nor is he party to any related party transaction required to be reported pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Mr. Aalberts will be compensated for his Board and committee service consistent with the compensation arrangements provided to the Board’s other non-employee directors, which are more fully described under the heading “EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION – Independent Directors” in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for its 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 26, 2019, as supplemented on May 7, 2019 and May 22, 2019.  Mr. Aalberts will receive pro-rated amounts for 2019.
