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

 

On June 27, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Joseph Manko, Jr. to fill the vacancy existing on the Board of Directors for a term ending at the 2020 annual meeting of shareholders. The Company’s press release announcing this appointment was issued on July 2, 2019, and a copy of that press release is filed as an exhibit to this Form 8-K.

 

Mr. Manko is an experienced Board member and senior principal in Horton Capital Management LLC, the investment manager for Horton Capital Partners Fund, LP, a significant shareholder in the Company. Mr. Manko has over 20 years of investment experience in the asset management, investment banking, private equity and corporate securities markets. He previously served as a Partner and Chief Executive Officer of Switzerland-based BZ Fund Management Limited, where he was responsible for corporate finance, private equity investments, three public equity funds and the firm’s Special Situations and Event-Driven strategies.

The Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that Mr. Manko qualifies as an “independent director” under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange and the Company’s independence standards.
