Departure of Director

 

On June 30, 2021, DermTech, Inc., or the Company, and Scott Pancoast, a former director of the Company, voluntarily resigned from the Board of Directors of the Company, or the Board.  Mr. Pancoast and the Company entered into a letter agreement, or the Agreement, in connection with Mr. Pancoast’s resignation, which memorializes the terms of Mr. Pancoast’s resignation from the Company.

In accordance with the Agreement, among other things, (i) restricted stock units held by Mr. Pancoast representing the continent right to receive 9,158 shares of common stock of the Company shall, notwithstanding his resignation from the Company, continue to vest in accordance with their terms as though Mr. Pancoast were continuing to provide services to the Company and (ii) Mr. Pancoast was granted restricted stock units representing the right to receive 2,406 shares of common stock at the next annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company.

The foregoing description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.    

Appointment of Director

On July 1, 2021, the Board appointed Monica Tellado to the Board to fill the existing vacancy on the Board caused by the resignation of Mr. Pancoast. Ms. Tellado was appointed as a Class III director with a term expiring at the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders. Ms. Tellado was also appointed as a member of the audit committee of the Board.

Ms. Tellado will be compensated in accordance with the Company’s Amended and Restated Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy, as may be amended from time to time, filed as Exhibit 10.3 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on May 13, 2021, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Also, in connection with her election to the Board, Ms. Tellado entered into an indemnification agreement, or the Indemnification Agreement, with the Company.
