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

In order to achieve a more equal balance of membership among our three classes of directors, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) determined that one of its members should be reclassified from Class I or Class II (with a term expiring at our 2020 or 2021 annual meeting of stockholders, respectively) to Class III (with a term expiring at our upcoming 2019 annual meeting of stockholders). Accordingly, on January 11, 2019, Mr. John C. White agreed to resign from his position as a Class II director subject to his immediate reappointment as a Class III director, effective on the date of filing of the proxy statement for the Company’s 2019 annual meeting of stockholders. The Board accepted Mr. White’s resignation and immediately reappointed him as a Class III director, effective on the date of filing of the proxy statement for the Company’s 2019 annual meeting of stockholders. The resignation and reappointment of Mr. White was effected solely to rebalance the Board classes in order to comply with our Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the requirements of the Delaware General Corporation Law, and for all other purposes, including vesting and other compensation matters, Mr. White’s service on the Board is deemed to have continued uninterrupted. On January 11, 2019, Mr. Chris Shackelton resigned as a Class III director, effective on the date of filing of the proxy statement for the Company’s 2019 annual meeting of stockholders, but will remain on the Board as the designee of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock.
