Item 5.02.
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
(d) Appointment of Director

On July 31, 2019, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Synchronoss Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”), based upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, elected Laurie L. Harris, age 61, to serve as a Class I director, with her initial term expiring at the Company’s 2022 annual meeting of stockholders or until her successor is duly elected and qualified. In connection with the appointment of Ms. Harris to the Board, and pursuant to the Company’s bylaws, the Board has decreased the number of directors from eleven to ten. Ms. Harris shall be the Chairperson of the Company’s Audit Committee, replacing Thomas Hopkins as Chairperson. Mr. Hopkins shall remain a member of the Company’s Audit Committee and William Cadogan has decided to resign as a member of the Audit Committee. As a result, the members of the Audit Committee shall be Ms. Harris, as Chairperson and Mr. Hopkins and Ms. Kristin Rinne as the other members of the Audit Committee.

Ms. Harris held numerous positions at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) from October 1992 until her retirement in June 2018, most recently as Global Engagement Audit Partner. Ms. Harris currently sits on the board of directors of IWG plc (May 2019 to present), QBE North America, a division of QBE (ASX: QBE) (July 2018 to present), and is also a member of the Directorship and Corporate Governance Committee of the Financial Women’s Association, an organization dedicated to developing current and future leaders and increasing the role and interest of women in the financial industry. Ms. Harris received her B.S. in Business Administration from University of Southern California and is a licensed CPA in New York, New Jersey, California and Massachusetts.

In connection with her election to the Board, pursuant to the Company’s compensation program for outside directors, Ms. Harris was granted an option to purchase 30,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price $8.09, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on July 31, 2019. Such option will vest and become exercisable with respect to one third of the option shares after each year of service. Ms. Harris will also receive a $50,000 annual retainer for her service on the Board. In addition, Ms. Harris will be eligible to receive, upon the conclusion of each annual meeting of stockholders beginning in 2020, equity awards with an aggregate grant date fair value of $200,000, 60% in restricted shares and 40% in the form of a stock option, each vesting and becoming exercisable with respect to one third of the equity award after each year of service or such equity awards as are awarded to the other directors as an annual grant. The non-employee director compensation program is described in further detail in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A for the Company’s 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which was filed with the SEC on April 22, 2019. Ms. Harris and the Company have entered into an indemnification agreement requiring the Company to indemnify Ms. Harris to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law with respect to her service as a director. The indemnification agreement was in substantially the form entered into with the Company’s other directors and executive officers. This form is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1/A (SEC File No. 333-132080), as filed with the SEC on May 9, 2006. There is no arrangement or understanding between Ms. Harris and any other person pursuant to which Ms. Harris was appointed as a director. Further, Ms. Harris does not have any family relationships or related party transactions that are required to be disclosed. The Board has determined that Ms. Harris is an independent director in accordance with applicable rules of the SEC and Nasdaq.
