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

 

On April 6, 2015 RF Industries, Ltd. (the “Company”) announced that Howard F. Hill, then the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, was taking an indefinite medical leave of absence and was resigning as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Hill did, however, remain with the Company as an unpaid employee pending the outcome of his medical leave of absence.

 

On April 7, 2016, Mr. Hill retired as an employee of the Company. Mr. Hill will, however, continue to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

Mr. Hill founded the Company in 1979 and served as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer until January 22, 2015. From January 22, 2015 until the commencement of his medical leave of absence on April 6, 2015, Mr. Hill served as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer. In addition to his duties as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Hill also periodically served as the Company’s interim Chief Financial Officer. In gratitude for his services to the Company for over 35 years, the Company’s Board of Directors decided to pay Mr. Hill $100,000 concurrently with his retirement.

 

As disclosed in the Company’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company made an interest-only loan to Mr. Hill on April 1, 1997, which loan was payable upon the termination of his employment. Accordingly, on April 7, 2016, Mr. Hill repaid the foregoing loan, in full (including accrued interest), by paying the Company a total of $72,680.
