Lead Independent Director Becomes Non-Executive
Chairman
Zix Corporation (ZixCorp), (Nasdaq: ZIXI), a leader in
email data protection, today announced that it separated the role
of its chairman of the board from that of its chief executive
officer. Robert C. Hausmann, ZixCorp’s lead independent director,
has been elected as the non-executive chairman of the board.
Richard D. Spurr continues to serve as ZixCorp’s CEO and as a
director.
Mr. Hausmann has served as a ZixCorp director since 2005 and has
been instrumental in guiding ZixCorp’s corporate governance, both
as chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and
as lead independent director.
“The trend among public companies to separate the CEO and
chairman roles has gained momentum over the years,” said new
ZixCorp chairman Bob Hausmann. “Our board decided to demonstrate
the company’s commitment to sound corporate governance by adopting
a leadership structure that has strong investor support.”
“We expect Bob Hausmann’s transition from lead independent
director to non-executive chairman to be seamless,” said ZixCorp
CEO Rick Spurr. “Bob and I have worked closely for years on company
oversight, and I look forward to working with him and the entire
board under this new structure.”
