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

(d) On September 1, 2020, the Board elected Dwayne Wilson as a director effective immediately. The Board determined that Mr. Wilson qualifies as “independent” in accordance with the director independence standards of NASDAQ. Mr. Wilson's initial term will expire at the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

The election of Mr. Wilson was not pursuant to any arrangement or understanding between Mr. Wilson and any third party. As of the date of this report, neither Mr. Wilson, nor any of his immediate family members, is a party, either directly or indirectly, to any transaction that would be required to be reported pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Mr. Wilson will be compensated consistent with the standard compensation program for non-employee directors, which includes a combination of cash and equity-based incentive compensation. In connection with his appointment to the Board, Mr. Wilson received a pro-rated award of shares of restricted common stock valued at $56,667.

A copy of the Company’s press release issued on September 1, 2020, regarding Mr. Wilson’s election is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
