Item 5.02.
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
 
On July 16, 2015, Craig Jones, our Chief Financial Officer, submitted his resignation to our Board of Directors. Mr. Jones plans to retire, following a 26-year career with Electro Rent Corporation. The resignation will be effective on August 31, 2015. Mr. Jones will continue to serve as our Chief Financial Officer until that date, during which time we expect to complete our year-end audit and file our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In recognition of Mr. Jones’ service to our company, our Board of Directors determined at its meeting on July 16, 2015 that, notwithstanding Mr. Jones’ voluntary resignation, the company will pay Mr. Jones the severance benefits specified in his employment agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of that agreement. The severance benefits include: a payment in the amount of Mr. Jones’ annual base salary of $251,825, which will be paid in one lump sum on the 60th day after Mr. Jones’ resignation is effective; a share of the current year bonus pool payable in a lump sum when we pay our other bonuses, which share will be calculated as (a) the total amount of the current year executive bonus pool, times (b) the percentage of last year’s total executive bonus pool that Mr. Jones received, times (c) the percentage of the current year that elapsed at the time the resignation is effective; and reimbursement for COBRA coverage for COBRA payments made by Mr. Jones during the 12 month period after the effective date of Mr. Jones’ resignation.

On the effectiveness of Mr. Jones’ resignation, Allen Sciarillo, age 50, will assume the roles of Acting Chief Financial Officer, principal accounting officer and principal financial officer. Mr. Sciarillo has served as our VP Finance since February 12, 2015 and our Controller since he joined our company in 2006. Prior to joining Electro Rent Corporation, Mr. Sciarillo served as Chief Financial Officer of Dial Thru International Corporation, InterPacket Networks and RSL COM USA. Mr. Sciarillo began his career in public accounting with Deloitte & Touche. Mr. Sciarillo earned his B.S. in Accounting from California State University, Northridge and is a Certified Public Accountant.
