(the “Company”), serving as a Class II Director with his term expiring at the Company’s 2023 annual stockholders’ meeting. In connection with his appointment to the Board, the Board has appointed Mr. Girolamo to its Audit Committee, effective immediately.

 

In connection with his appointment to the Board, and consistent with the Board’s current compensation arrangements with its non-employee directors, Mr. Girolamo will: (1) receive a grant of 5,000 shares of our Class A common stock, which shall be subject to vesting requirements, and (2) be eligible to receive the Company’s standard annual cash retainer for members of the Board and its committees that will be pro-rated based on the date of his appointment. The Company also plans to enter into an indemnification agreement with Mr. Girolamo in the same form as the indemnification agreements that the Company has entered into with each of its directors.

 

There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Girolamo and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as a director, and there have been no transactions since the beginning of the Company’s last fiscal year, or currently proposed, regarding Mr. Girolamo that are required to be disclosed by Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
