Appointment of Director
On and effective as of July 12, 2021, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Synchronoss Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”), based upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, appointed Martin Bernstein, to serve as a Class II director, with his initial term expiring at the Company’s 2023 annual meeting of stockholders or his prior death, resignation or removal. Mr. Bernstein was appointed to the Board pursuant to the nomination rights granted to B. Riley Financial, Inc. (“B. Riley”) pursuant to the previously disclosed Investor Rights Agreement between the Company, B. Riley and B. Riley Principal Investments, LLC (“BRPI” and collectively with B. Riley, the “BR Entities”) dated as of June 30, 2021.
Mr. Bernstein and the Company have entered into an indemnification agreement requiring the Company to indemnify Mr. Bernstein to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law with respect to his service as a director. The indemnification agreement was in substantially the form entered into with the Company’s other directors and executive officers. This form is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1/A (SEC File No. 333-132080), as filed with the SEC on May 9, 2006. In connection with his election to the Board, Mr. Bernstein will receive compensation pursuant to the Company’s compensation program for non-employee directors, including a $50,000 annual retainer for his service on the Board and will be eligible to receive annual equity awards. In addition, Mr. Bernstein will be granted a stock option to purchase 30,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date, at the next scheduled meeting of the Company’s Board of Directors, which stock option shall vest one-third each year on the anniversary of the grant date provided Mr. Bernstein remains a Director of the Company. The non-employee director compensation program is described in further detail in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A for the Company’s 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which was filed with the SEC on April 21, 2021. As an affiliate of the BR Entities, Mr. Bernstein may be deemed to have an interest in certain transactions between the Company and the BR Entities. A description of these transactions has been previously disclosed, including in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 30, 2021. Except for Mr. Bernstein’s relationship with the BR Entities, he does not have any family relationships or related party transactions that are required to be disclosed. The Board has determined that Mr. Bernstein is an independent director in accordance with applicable rules of the SEC and Nasdaq.
