On August 24, 2020, the Company filed Amendment No. 1 to the Original Form 8-K (“Amendment No. 1”) to include a description of the compensation arrangements entered into between the Company and Mr. Moradi in connection with his appointment as Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Strategy Officer and to file as exhibits the Employment Agreement and Performance Share Award Agreement entered into between the Company and Mr. Moradi. On August 26, 2020, the Company filed Amendment No. 2 to the Original Form 8-K (“Amendment No. 2”) to include a brief description of the compensation arrangements between the Company and Mr. Varacalli in connection with his appointment as President, which arrangements were in the process of being negotiated at the time the Original Form 8-K was filed.
