Item 8.01 Other Events.
On May 20, 2019, the Board of Directors appointed William B. Shepro as the Chairman of the Board of Directors and Scott E. Burg as Lead Independent Director. Mr. Shepro, who has served on the Board of Directors and as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, will continue in his role as Chief Executive Officer. He replaces Timo Vättö, who served as Chairman since January 2015 and did not stand for re-election as a Director of the Company at the Annual Meeting. Mr. Burg has served on the Board of Directors since September 2018.
The Board believes that Mr. Shepro’s intimate knowledge of our business and operations from his long tenure as Chief Executive Officer make him the appropriate choice to lead the Board as the Company continues to pursue its strategic plan. With Mr. Shepro serving as both Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, the Board also believes that it is important to appoint a strong Lead Independent Director, and that Mr. Burg’s skills and experience complement those of Mr. Shepro, creating the optimal leadership structure for the Company at this time. Messrs. Shepro and Burg will receive no additional compensation for their service as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Lead Independent Director, respectively.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
