On June 12, 2020, at a special meeting of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company, the Board elected Anna Phillips to the Board to fill the existing vacancy in Class III. In addition, the Board appointed Ms. Phillips as a member of the Audit Committee and the Special Committee, which was created on May 18, 2020 with Messrs. Jean Brunol, Michael Hanley and Ms. Gena Lovett as the other members, to explore financing and other strategic opportunities for the Company.

The Board has determined that Ms. Phillips meets all applicable requirements to serve on the Board, the Audit Committee and the Special Committee, including those set forth in the Company’s Governance Guidelines.

Ms. Phillips, 55, is currently an independent non-executive director at several private companies. Before transitioning full time to her board roles, she was employed as a Senior Managing Director at FTI Consulting, Inc from 2009 to 2013.

Ms. Phillips has a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Tasmania in Australia and has worked in corporate finance in the Far East, London and North America for over 30 years. She was previously a member of the Australian Institute of Chartered Accountants.

There was no understanding or arrangement between Ms. Phillips and any other person pursuant to which Ms. Phillips was appointed as a director. There are no family relationships between Ms. Phillips and any member of the Board or executive officer of the Company, and she has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

In connection with her appointment to the Board, Ms. Phillips will be entitled to a cash retainer of $10,000 per month plus expenses and incremental fees of $500 for each additional hour of service in excess of 20 hours per month.
